Vincent Li will not be walking free any time soon, says an expert on issues involving mental illness.

"He will be assigned a forensic community mental health worker — very often a registered psychiatric nurse — and he will be followed up by that … worker and a psychiatrist for the rest of his days, like permanent parole, if you wish," she said.

If Li were ever freed, he would be reincarcerated at the first sign he was unstable or not taking his medication, said Osted.
How can they be so vague about this? I want assurances that he'll be locked up at least as long as a convicted murderer. It's not good enough to say he won't be free "anytime soon." Or if we set him free, and he starts acting funny, we'll lock him back up.
In my opinion, this man should be hanged. Maybe it technically isn't his fault, but I see no use of keeping him alive. That won't happen, but can we at least guarantee that he'll be locked up forever? I don't care what the Psychiatrists say. They change their mind on diagnosis’s all the time. Keep this danger away from the public forever.
