My original intent was meant to be an impersonal illustration of health care disparity caused by insurance driven profit structures. As more details emerged, I realize that the loss of a genuine Texas Character is equally important. Thank you for reminding me there are two human lives involved. The life lost was an asset to all of us, and the criminal is a burden to all of us. The sadness is that this crime was so preventable.
Because these two people did not know each other does not really make this a random crime. The clash between the healthy and unhealthy is becoming more common. I invite your input on any details about Mr. Perryman you can share.

http://www.kxan.com/dpp/news/Lou_Perryman_killed_Homicide_suspected
and
http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/04/04/0404homicide.html

They add more info about the perpetrator, who had been an inmate in the Texas prison system, not a mental health patient, per se, and about the victim, who was a beloved character actor.

Thank You.
