    Please rethink that career path.

    Every defense lawyer in a shooting case is going to claim mental duress in a shooting.

    People who commit racially motivated crimes don’t get the benefit of the doubt.

    Does this man have a history of mental health problems? Are they under the care and supervision of a mental health provider? Are they taking anti psychotic meds?

    If any of those statements are true, what were they doing in possession of a firearm in the first place?

      All those questions deserve proper investigation. I was not excusing this man from his crimes, merely pointing out his lawyer was claiming he’d had a mental health crisis and that they should be investigated.

      And I’m a pretty damn good therapist so I think I’m gonna keep it up. Maybe you should just go fuck yourself?
