That argument sounds like something his white adoptive mother cooked up. She is, I believe, some kind of social worker herself. She is very articulate and knows the various tropes many rely on to absolve disabled people of any responsibility for what tbey do.

the various tropes many rely on to absolve disabled people of any responsibility for what they do.
This mindset suggests that ALL people dealing with mental illness can't be held responsible for their actions. That sounds, to use a woketard phrase, ABLEIST. Growing up my kid brother had a mental illness because of a slight learning disability which he eventually learned how to compensate for. I worked alongside Veterans who were in Vietnam, Desert Storm, Desert Shield who dealt with PTSD. They all had a much clearer cogent sense of right and wrong and had much bigger hearts than many so called "normal" people I've known.
Can't help but wonder if that "mentally ill" thug would've gone off the same way on someone like, say, Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, Connor McGregor, The Rock, Rhonda Rousey, etc. They can't be held accountable yet they can determine who the "soft" targets are. Crazy how these psychos rarely if ever pick on anyone their own size
