My Take
Writing about Mullin is heavy, and I won't pretend otherwise. He killed thirteen people in early-1970s California while gripped by a delusion that the murders prevented earthquakes. I have zero interest in mythologizing him; what I sit with instead is the failure of a society to reach a severely mentally ill man before catastrophe. His case is a grim study in untreated psychosis and the gaps in mental-health care, and the only people who deserve remembrance here are his victims and their families. I record him soberly, as a cautionary chapter, nothing more.
