You Can't Stop Her, You Can Only Hope To Contain Her

Clearly, there's mental illness involved in the case of a woman who was found naked by a friend's RV that she'd just torched. What makes this story weird is that this happened two days after she'd engaged police in a standoff at the same RV. On Tuesday, she smashed the windows, threw the owner's stuff on the street, and confronted cops with a knife before barricading herself in the RV. And the cops backed off, because they decided that a knife fight wasn't worth it for two misdemeanors and the RV owner didn't want to bring charges. On Thursday, she's torching the place. So maybe backing off wasn't a good idea, and leaving a clearly mentally ill person to her own devices to avoid further confrontation left the woman without help and with the means to cause more trouble. Not ideal. (KNBC-TV/Los Angeles)
