- Michael Shellenberger, author of the book “San Fransicko,” has spent a lot of time among the Bay Area’s homeless, interviewing them on camera. He’s taken the time to understand their mental illness and tried to offer solutions to help them.
- In a long Twitter thread, Shellenberger wrote: “It’s obvious to anyone who looks that what drove David DePape to violence was drug-induced paranoid psychosis.”
- He added: “David DePape is not a microcosm of the political psychosis gripping America in general. Rather, he’s a microcosm of the drug-induced psychosis gripping the West Coast in particular.”
