i can see being RESPONSIBLE because of mental illness... but not NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Then have the DMV agent who issued him a license sit in the cell in his stead.
Yawn. Another product of psychiatry wreaking havoc on society. What’s new?
pretty soon it’s gonna be illegal to be a law abiding citizen- criminals are no longer responsible for their actions apparently-
The national motto used to be “In God We Trust”.
Today it’s just “It’s Not My Fault; I’m Not Responsible”.
Damn, that means all democrats will be innocent of everything!
"lacked a substantial capacity to know what he was doing was wrong"
Sounds to me like he's a lunatic and a danger to society. He needs to be institutionalized, prison or nuthouse. He MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO WALK FREE AMONG US. HE'S A DANGEROUS NUT!!!
Justice was not served.
“The decision means Rojas qualifies for being committed instead of being sentenced to prison.”
As opposed to being executed?
Maybe we should have Red Flag laws for driving?
You can bet that if he'd killed someone "connected", the "authoritays" would find a way to kill him.
Peasants? They'll spend a bunch of YOUR money to taunt you about how powerless you are.
“Driving While Brown” has a different meaning nowadays.
***due to mental illness. ***
REOPEN THE MENTAL INSTITUTIONS closed down in the 1970s!
“Richard Rojas, accused in deadly Times Square crash, found not responsible due to mental illness...”
“O well, if that’s the case you are free to go young man”
His “mental illness” would certainly allow him to hold others accountable if they did something rotten to HIM. Or not prevent him from obeying the traffic laws so as to avoid wrecking HIS car.
Soon they will turn him loose so he can strike again. The people he killed and maimed were not responsible for his action either.
