I feel like Neely is also a victim of the healthcare system or lack there of. I live in the NYC area and there are so many "crazy" people everywhere literally screaming in the streets. These people used to be sent to state run mental facilities that all closed down, now the system just lets them run loose all over the city.

Neely had already been in mental hospital to multiple times in the past not only that he had a strong safety net. You can talk about rehabilitation all day but the thing is the person is supposed to want to be rehabilitated. Neely clearly didn't want that. For whatever reason he was content with being a waste of air.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm saying they shouldn't have let him out of the mental facility in the first place. Everyone in NYC that actually has to deal with these people also agree with you.
