interesting as this again was done by a deeply disturbed individual, a paranoid schizophrenic. society since then has not gotten better at identifying threats coming from sick people. down to sandy hook, the completely insane individual is left alone until he/she commits an atrocity.

I have no specific evidence but I believe society has gotten better and identifying mental health issues and treating them. >> "down to sandy hook, the completely insane individual is left alone until he/she commits an atrocity" It's up to family and friends to help identify problems someone they know might be having and it's up to the government to provide adequate support and facilities to treat ill people.

Based on my recent personal experience, I don't feel that much has improved. Perhaps society is more accepting of the condition, and less likely to stigmatized. But helping a mentally ill person (in the USA) is pretty much not an option. Perhaps I didn't look hard enough.
That is intended to be a helpful observation, not a criticism.

Could you explain why? Here (the UK) there is quite a lot of free help from the health service and there are a lot of charities I know of which provide counselling. Local GP's are also able to work with people and refer them to specialists if necessary.

To my knowledge, HN hasn't added any new features in years. I think the people who run this site are pretty happy with it the way it is and don't want to change it, despite many suggestions for improvements. So I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to do anything about it.
Actually I added one about an hour ago. This is an interesting suggestion but it would not be on our top 100 things to fix.
What was it? I'm genuinely curious.
What does this have to do with Hacker News?
