I halfway agree with you. We need to have housing for mentally ill people.
But REALLY. The housing that we had, that was horrifically cruel, for people who were deemed mentally ill but they were in fact irritating to their families or cheating on their husbands, and not mentally ill, thankfully closed those awful institutions down.
The horrors that were perpetrated on humans is inexcusable, and had to be shut down.
Urine on the potatoes today, rat poison in the Tylenol tomorrow - anyone who contaminates food or medicine needs to be punished considerably the first time as a deterrent, and locked up forever (or otherwise appropriately treated) fi they keep on repeating. There are, unfortunately, people who are not able to live in a civilized society. Too bad Australia no longer exists as a place to send people who hurt other people (those with no conscience, fear, remorse, or other inhibitions).
She urinated in the potato bin? I can see why it ended up all over the floor.
Anyway, after police looked at surveillance footage, they were able to identify her which, given the other charges, leads me to believe this wasn't her first run-in with the law.
The second article said she was an actor. Maybe she was known by the locals.
Since when do we lock up people for having definite mental issues?
If people with mental issues can't go through life without urinating on food in the grocery store, then something should be done to keep them separated from society. Mental institution, work house, jail, something until they get their issues under control to the point that they are safe to be allowed to walk around in the streets.
