It's a pretty scary idea to "stop letting crazies like this guy fall through the cracks" when what you're advocating is the incarceration of people that haven't done anything to deserve it, but are merely deemed by some entity to be likely to do something. As far as I can tell from this story, this guy never gave any signs that he would turn violent at all, by what reason would you have him locked away? Because he disagreed with the current tax system?
When you start locking people away based on behavioral profiling when no crime has been committed, you end up with a state of fear where everyone is afraid to say anything negative about authority what-so-ever for fear of being locked away as a "high risk individual", and freedom of speech and healthy discussion go down the shitter. It's a bad road to go down, unless you like totalitarian rule and thought police.
