There just might be some other reason that he was let go....hmmm.

SEATTLE — A 46-year-old man was arrested for breaking into an occupied Capitol Hill apartment armed with an axe, a hatchet and a spiked glove was released from jail without charges Monday — after state case workers concluded he is incompetent and unable to defend himself in court.
Stanley Dion Red, 46, who has a long criminal history, and a history of treatment for mental illnesses, was captured on video climbing onto the balcony of a Capitol Hill apartment complex on June 17th. According to Henry Stelter, the tenant who was working from home at the time, Red entered the apartment and directly approached him.
“I went back, and I grabbed my pistol,” Stelter told KIRO-7 News. “At that point he’d seen me, and he started walking down the hallway towards me and he started reaching for the axe on his back. He also had a glove that had a metal spike sticking out the front of it.”
Stelter said Red was speaking unintelligibly, offering to “buy the apartment,” and cursing at him.
“I just kept telling him he needs to get out get out. He was saying all sorts of random things that I couldn’t really make out,” Stelter said. “I slowly backed him down.”
At gunpoint, Red climbed back down off the balcony into the alley, and minutes later SPD officers moved in and arrested him for criminal trespassing. But today, more than two weeks later, Henry was informed Stanley Red was released — with no charges at all.
State psychologists apparently concluded Red was incompetent to even understand why he was arrested.
The evaluation goes on to say Red’s charge was “not a serious offense, according to state law,” and the City Attorney’s Office said they had no choice but to drop the case.

Ira Einhorn — you know the Unicorn Killer — and inventor of Earth Day, just stuffed his victim in a big truck in his closet.
So there’s that approach.
That’s why it’s good to have a really, really, really good friend with a truck or a van no matter where you live.
Now it's murder and mayhem and the Seattle city council cares not a whit.
Good god
The homeowner would have been sent to prison for life. That’s why.
The homeowner made the mistake of living in Seattle. He probably voted for the felons on the City Council.
He has been in the news for a long time

This was long before today's defund the police while cannonizing the criminals insanity. The County Sheriffs out this way share that opinion. There are some people that just don't need to be walking this earth.
Do the Irish rovers live there?
“Don’t you think maybe this guy deserves to be in an institution?”
I agree - unless medication would be sufficient, but then he must regularly take the medication.
Must be a YUGE closet [grin]
In the city, the equivalent is to section the decedent in the bath tub, and distribute bagged bits in several dumpsters. It's a part of urban survival.
In Minecraft...
“State psychologists apparently concluded Red was incompetent to even understand why he was arrested”
If he robbed a bank and didn’t understand why he was arrested would they let him keep the money? Arrest the State psychologists or at least give the the violent psychopath a ride to their houses.
State case workers are incompetent and unable to do their jobs which is as much to protect the citizenry as well as the potential patient.
The prosecutor is totally incompetent and should be fired immediately but this is Red Seattle where the criminal is “good” and the victim is “bad”.
Very Nice
You just need to have your finger on the pulse of the local LE and DA to find out and make sure YOU will not be going to jail for defending yourself.
But that would be cruel. They should give him the man’s apartment, and put the man in jail for being mean.
This guy is a murderer! Of a child! And he’s been out and about since 1999? And even then, in 1999, hey said he had an extensive criminal history. This person whose house he broke into could have been killed.
I’m not disagreeing. i was pointing out that his alleged mental incompetency seemed suspiciously rational.
There just might be some other reason that he was let go....hmmm.
