It's mostly all rubbish. Which when taken away, suddenly becomes an excuse for claims of persecution (and reimbursement).
I don't get that either, but then again, maybe it's part of the mental illness.
Yes, this. The "estate" of the decedent will make money on it. One way or another. Cops at fault, Max at fault, city at fault, county at fault, etc.
Ditto Puget Sound.
No, because those truly responsible for the failure will find somewhere else to shift the blame onto. And the usual solution will be put forward - give us more money. The solutions of the powers that be are never, lock the bums, miscreants and crazy up. It's all a social or mental health problem. Therefore we need to buy more hotels and build more free housing for the poor souls and get them "treatment." Mentally ill people walking around causing trouble in public were rarely a problem when authorities used to lock them up in institutions. When governments started turning crazy people out on their own and closing institutions, they thought they were saving money. But I'd guess more money is spent on them now that they are all running loose. The monster is out of the box now; a number of court decisions since the 1970's have pretty much limited institutionalization.
