Questions that should be asked about Israel "Izzy" Andino

While everyone is talking about the death of Israel “Izzy” Andino in regard to the shooting itself.  The  questions that need to be asked and answered are being ignored.  

Based on what I have read in the media and heard from a variety of people,  Izzy had a mental illness.  He had been acting erratic before the day of the shooting.  Some of the reports said he was bipolar and he had been off his medication.  The questions that come to my mind are:

Take a moment and imagine this. Imagine that one day you are able to come and go from your home to where you want to go with no problem. Now imagine this you lose the ability to do that, however, you have paratransit services who, with three days notice, will take you where you need to go and back for between $1.50 and $2.00 each way. No room for spontaneity, however, at least you get to maintain your independence, go shopping with friends, go to your place of worship, doctor’s offices, grocery shopping, etc. Now imagine this.
