We were discussing this issue at a Raider board. As much as Robbins was an excellent center for us and his disease is definitely beyond control once he ceases to take his medication, it is still his responsibility as a grown man to consume them as directed. I understand if he fails to take his medication, his actions are basically unavoidable, but he was asking for what he got. Imagine if he had been successful in removing the gun from the officer and ended up killing him? Robbins is a huge guy and I'm sure it took more than several bullets to take him down, but he is a danger to himself and others, and if he doesn't want to help himself, then he must be removed from society for his safety, as well as societies.
I wish the Raider organization would somehow try and help him since he obviously isn't helping himself. I hope Robbins recovers from his critical condition, and I hope he is taken to an institution where they can guarantee his recovery and safety. I wish him the best.
