Wrong Place, Wrong Time, Wrong Everything

A woman was walking to dinner in Winnipeg when a stranger muttering gibberish suddenly sucker punched her in the eye, causing serious damage. She professes not to be angry at the perp, who walked away, because he's clearly mentally ill. Could you be as magnanimous? More to the point, the guy obviously IS mentally ill, meaning that the punch wasn't something he could control; should society be better equipped to handle issues of mental illness? Is it every-person-for-themself or should someone step in to make sure everyone's diagnosed and properly treated and medicated (institutionalized, we know now from centuries of experience, is not a great answer)?
