I honestly don't know. Is there a solution? These people aren't really criminals, they slip through the cracks in the system.
Flip isn't dangerous unless you disturb his books. He just has an illness. There are others, they have a wide range of problems, with no one that really cares enough to be their advocate.

Mental health care in the united states is a joke.
You see them all the time, typically homeless, walking around no help given unless they do something that catches the cops attention.
Then, usually it's a stint in jail and back out on the street. Wash rinse repeat.

And that response is exactly how the TPTB keep power and wield it mercilessly. It's Fool's Gold. It's a grand idea that will never be realized.
I agree with you in part, it has it's place. Love is powerful and important, in fact most people don't even know true love. But the current iteration of society is corrupted beyond belief. Love and LOA truly are Fool's Gold at this point. I don't say this to be mean, I say this as a realist.
