Chuck:
I had three (aunts), fathers side of family, that were institionalized for brief periods and while it wasn't pleasant according to them as near as I can tell they recovered and all led very long lives. I am well aware of what it was like in one of these institutions from talking to them.
Due to the fact that I live in Arizona we have a lot of "Homeless" people during the Winter months. Several of them hung out in the area where I had my business. None of the ones I came into contact with IMO should have been out on the street if for no other reason than their own protection and well being.
Here's the particulars as they relate to Loughner:
"Despite evidence that Arizona shooting suspect Jared Loughner is mentally unstable, he was never declared mentally unfit by a court, so his name did not appear in the federal background-check database used by gun sellers."
