This sort of defense works real well with juries.
I used to eat at Mama’s Pizza one block from his house.
Flip Wilson said it best: “The devil made me do it.”
Depends on how many rednecks are on the jury..................
It sounds like he was running out of things he could do during the pandemic and thought that conflict with police is one of the few remaining approved activities.
What is it with white boys flipping out lately?
This of course is attempted homicide and he needs to go away. But this insane nonsense of lockdowns and destroying the economy over a not so strong virus is just heartbreaking.
Even for kids. Molested or beaten, School was their away time and then going out afterwards. So they didn’t have to see whatever monster they go home to until the end of the day.
What a disaster
Attempted suicide by cop?...................
The virus made me do it.
They have no identity or male leadership.
The children of late generation X, and early Millennials.......
Sure let him go and next he might shoot at your family
I wonder how he acquired an AK-47 assault rifle.
That’s what I think. it doesn’t say the wounded policeman was shot. It would be easy to get hurt in a stressful situation.
The fact that they didn’t shoot him in a vital area may have been because the cops realized his intention and didn’t want to kill a guy bent on suicide by cop.
Or else they were bad shots.
OK - so I am hypothetically on his jury, hear this story. Okay doaky, sounds like the guys has issues. I vote life in prison, no parole.
I’m surprised there aren’t MORE nutjobs running around shooting up the place. (Not excusing this guy, of course!)
Many of us have been locked down for over FIVE MONTHS now, many without a good support system of family and friends, and/or a job loss, no income, maybe losing their home or apartment? Who knows.
I’m relatively sane, my life hasn’t changed much for the most part, and even *I* am feeling a little STABBY these days!
“Don’t blame it on the sunshine
Don’t blame it on the moonlight
Don’t blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie...”
He definitely won’t be regaining child custody now.
Not anytime soon. He is lucky to have survived.
Seven cops could not hit one center target?
Maybe they were using rubber bullets.
That was my take.
That, too! :)
