alongside the revelation a source claimed Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD) Chief John Drake acknowledged VUMC failed its duty to warn Hale’s intended victims after she expressed fantasies of killing her father and enacting a school shooting.

On one hand, I’d imagine given the amount of mentally ill people in this country, threats are made all of the time. On the other, a bunch of innocent kids are dead because mental health professionals continue to fail at their jobs and more specifically, allowed this to occur.

When we talk about problems with deinstitutionalization, this is such an obvious example of the drawbacks. Those with mental illness gained more freedom, but others are sacrificing theirs.

An FBI or Congressional study into just what the frequency is of people "expressing fantasies of enacting a school shooting" seems wise. That in and of itself is probably reason to hold someone indefinitely.

A really interesting conversation and case study at an intersection of a bunch of different rights we cherish as a society.
