the thing a lot of people seem to fail to realize is a percentage of these people lack the basic ability to control their actions. you and i have the mental capacity to not resist, not everyone does. perhaps the biggest failure here is that these people aren't getting the help they need before they end up in such situations. get mentally ill people off the streets and into the care they need to be able to function and you'll have a lot less of these instances but no one wants to have to pay for that.
