Non-binary ex-Biden nuclear energy official Sam Brinton agrees to undergo mental health evaluation in baggage theft case
Fox News ^ | 04/21/2023 | Thomas Catenacci

Sam Brinton, a non-binary former senior Department of Energy (DOE) official, agreed in court Monday to undergo a mental health evaluation as part of an adult diversion program.

Brinton agreed to enter the adult diversion program during a remote Hennepin County, Minnesota, court hearing stemming from an airport baggage theft case. In October, police charged the former federal official with stealing a traveler's baggage worth a total of $2,325 from the luggage carousel at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on Sept. 16 after flying in from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C.

Under the adult diversion program, Brinton will be required to have a mental health evaluation, write a letter of apology to the victim, return any stolen property and complete three days of community service, FOX affiliate KMSP-TV reported. According to court records, Brinton will report to a diversion appointment later this month.

Entering the diversion program appears to suggest Brinton will escape jail time or even have the theft case dismissed altogether.

"The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office recognizes that there are times when public safety is best served by diverting first-time offenders from the criminal justice system," the Hennepin County Attorney's Office states on its website. "Adult diversion programs refer these offenders to social services, chemical dependency or mental health resources."

"First-time offenders are closely monitored to make sure they meet program expectations," it continues. "The goals set include accountability, taking advantage of services offered, remaining law-abiding, completing community service, and paying restitution. Every successful diversion reduces costs in the criminal justice system and reduces the number of repeat offenders."

There are 11 kinds of people:

Those who understand binary.
Those who don't.
And those who think they do but in reality are just confused.

What does #@!#@!@ does “non-binary” mean? Why are the media feeding into this nonsense? Human gametes by their very fundamental nature are binary. Not accepting that is a sign of mental disease.

RE: Human gametes by their very fundamental nature are binary.

Some in FR’s other threads were discussing a natural phenomenon called Hermaphrodites in relation to British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s arguing that 100% of females do not have a penis.

Now get shrinks to lock up the surgeon general who thinks he’s a woman, the “mayor” who wears a prosthetic breast feeder, and the veep who can’t stop giggling.

Can we add the Supreme Court Justice who claims she does not know what a woman is because she’s not a biologist?

Golly, I am not a mental health expert, but one glance tells me that Brinton is full on crazy, to use the ordinary way of speaking.

Hard to believe that he/she/it might have mental health issues.

In a perfect world, that abomination would be in a mental health hospital, not in a government position!

I’m pretty sure the government-approved “mental health professional” evaluating him will be equally insane.

He’ll get off virtually scot free, without any meaningful consequences. Just another beneficiary of the two-tiered “justice” system.

Being a “victim” pays.

When the world sees these “official portraits” they have to be laughing their asses off. At least when there are no government snitches around that can hear them.

When you were 10 years old and got into a fight with another kid and your parents made you apologize. How sincere was that apology? The whole notion that a forced apology has any meaning is insanity.

Particularly when you’re dealing with Psychopaths and pathological Liars of which the left seems to be primarily populated

This guy has so many bats in his bell-tower that he could sell guano on a street corner, that is he can borrow a corner from a homeless Democrat.

He needs to undergo a mental health evaluation for a lot more than his criminal case.
