According to the cited article, "The murderer, who was later arrested and held without bond, was career criminal Decarlos Brown Jr., a 34-year-old diagnosed with schizophrenia."

I know the point I want to make about deinstitutionalization. Rather than pick one or two of dozens of relevant articles, I will defer to an AI Overview:

"As governor [of CA], Reagan took significant steps to reduce the institutionalized population in California.  
o Lanterman-Petris-Short Act of 1967: Reagan signed this law, which ended the practice of involuntarily hospitalizing patients for indefinite amounts of time. The act made it much more difficult to commit individuals for psychiatric treatment against their will, a move that was praised by mental health reformers but that also coincided with a drastic reduction of California's state hospital population.  
.
During his presidency, Reagan’s policies dramatically changed the landscape of mental health care in the United States by cutting federal funding and shifting responsibility to the states.  
o Repeal of the Mental Health Systems Act: In 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed the Mental Health Systems Act, which aimed to improve community-based mental health services and fund crisis intervention. One year later, Reagan signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981, which repealed most of Carter's legislation.
o Block grants and budget cuts: The 1981 act replaced direct federal funding for mental health services with block grants to the states. While this gave states more flexibility, the overall federal spending on mental health was significantly reduced. As a result, many community health centers faced drastic budget cuts or closed entirely.  
.
Critical failure: **Without** the robust, federally funded community mental health centers envisioned by earlier programs, the shift of mental health care to the states resulted in a critical gap in services. The outcome of this underfunding was a rise in homelessness and incarceration for people with severe mental illnesses, who lacked access to the care they needed."  
.
So are the Reps blaming Reagan's woke agenda for deinstitutionalization? Or maybe the fault rests on the woketard Republican NC State legislators for refusing to fund state efforts? Nope. ... It's got to be Biden's fault.
.
This murderer should have been in prison or a mental institution or, at the least, have been monitored and on meds in a community health care facility. Woketard Republicans refuse to provide funding.
