That was while he was already on bail for other offenses, and apparently he's just flat out saying he's going to keep doing it and nothing will stop him...
So, it's not like there's any other options.
I worked at a day program for people with autism and other issues, and there's just some people with the right mix of symptoms and abilities, where they're capable of doing incredibly harmful things, but just literally can't understand why they shouldn't and you just can't explain it in a way they understand.
Which seems to be what's going on here. Dude just refuses to stop and he's going to do it again the second he's able.
He pulled this off while under supervision of police while in a hotel. Nothing short of him being in a controlled environment 24/7 is going to prevent it.
