Enlil said: Wrong again. He didn't get a sentence. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity.
Maybe wrong technically, but he was court ordered to be in confinement for an indeterminate time. So let's say it was a short confinement for somebody who shot the President of the U.S. It would seem quite normal for someone who shot somebody else. His treatment was reasonable from a psychiatric point of view. Actually, it was along time till they released him, but I was shocked when they were letting him out for weekend family visits, and I couldn't stand Reagan. According to Wikipedia, "Public outcry over the verdict led to the Insanity Defense Reform Act of 1984, which altered the rules for consideration of mental illness of defendants in Federal Criminal Court proceedings in the United States.

Yeah, fuck public opinion. The insanity defense, while rarely applicable, is one of the things that elevates our society out of savagery. If we listened to public opinion, we'd still have barbaric sentences like death.

Yes, policies on the insanity defense and capital punishment are overly influenced by public opinion rather than rational thought.
Now federal courts and a few states are excluding or limiting expert testimony by psychologists and psychiatrists in insanity defense cases, I guess because insanity is a legal concept rather than medical.

Didn’t Texas execute another mentally challenged dude last year? How does this happen in the 21st century?
Edit: nvm, they blocked that ONE time. There were definitely at least two in the 2010’s though https://www.npr.org/2019/02/20/696178809/supreme-court-blocks-texas-from-executing-mentally-disabled-man

I think Texas killed someone who was most likely innocent previous to that as well.

It's so much more simple for cops to just shoot them on the spot usually

Garth Brooks got roasted by his own fan base for wearing a BARRY SANDERS jersey in Detroit. They all assumed it was in support of Bernie and essentially told him to shut the fuck up because he gets paid to sing and dance and nothing more.
I dont know what's more concerning, the hypocrisy of claiming liberals hate free speech then telling an artist to "shut up and dance", or living in Detroit and NOT knowing who Barry Sanders is. He really was too good for that shitty excuse of a city.
The best part is he just gave the Your Moms House podcast fans some major ammo.

The whole shut up and dance thing is the most transparent silencing tactic ever. If he got on stage and yelled MAGA! these same people would love that he’s publicizing his politics.

I understand combining those two items into the same sentence and idea is funny, but I'm having trouble explaining why. Can you explain like I'm five why that's funny?
