"They tried to choose a candidate who most unnerved me," Brown said of Republican leaders. "I think they quite succeeded in that."

Possible manic episode with paranoia and delusions.

Florida? Why? No offense to the Florida Freepers, but maybe you should all just move, and we can decontaminate the state or something.

"There were a lot of things on (the video) suggesting you'd be a bad person if you didn't step in the water. I wanted my mom to step in the water. I didn't hurt her in any way. I kind of helped her to it. I put her in the shower," he said.

Norman?

Norman Bates?

Among his mental problems, Brown mentioned obsessive-compulsive disorder, schizo affective disorder, depression, anxiety and panic attacks.

Just another page from Howard Dean's diary...

Brown said he takes medication for his conditions and believed he had overcome obsessive-compulsive disorder.
In fact, that was part of his motivation for seeking office - to prove to himself he was better.
"I'm not going to withdraw," he said Thursday. "I'm a good kid."

Awwwwwww.

If you don't vote for him, he won't feel better.

Once there, Brown said, he watched a video about water and in his mind linked it to the biblical story of Noah. Then he was taken to a shower and encouraged to step in to be purified.

"There were a lot of things on (the video) suggesting you'd be a bad person if you didn't step in the water. I wanted my mom to step in the water. I didn't hurt her in any way. I kind of helped her to it. I put her in the shower," he said.

"That's the reason I think they Baker-Acted me."


I just have NO WORDS>>>>!

Not even Scrappleface is this good.

Sounds like some real issues here, eh?
