Driver was named Field, still in the military, trained in evasive driving.

“What if he says that he doesn’t remember driving.”

Lack of memory of a crime is not an excuse.

If a person is black out drunk and they get arrested for drunk driving, he will likely still be convicted even though he does not remember.

It’s a terrible disease. Affects the whole family; I’ve known of a couple such instances. And long-term psych hospitals are almost impossible to find, thanks to the “mainstreaming” concept. One of my friends has a son in a facility now - took weeks to get him in.

“Schizophrenia is not an excuse for terrorism.”

The driver was not a terrorist.

Stop parroting the dishonest mainstream media.

He was a mentally ill person with a history of arrests for violence against his own mother.

“What would you tell your son to do?”

First, I would start with not becoming a neo-nazi.

Second, he should not attend neo-nazi rallies.

Third, if you become a neo-nazi, do not come home, do not call me.

So, if his name were Muhammad who beat his mother and then intentionally ran over a crowd of people, he would not be a terrorist?

Mental illness is no excuse to hold them unaccountable. I find it amazing how anyone who suddenly gets to go to a mental institution for a week taking meds all of a sudden become untouchable and uncriticizable and their behavior as a result grows worse. They even go back and use the institution to sustain their drug addictions.

The driver of the car has now been proven to not be the guy accused of crashing it. The name of the guy who crashed it that has been made public is a somewhat correct name, but as it turns out, rather than be a young kid, the man who crashed it was a seasoned military veteran named James G. Field, age 32.

Someone was able to pull levels in Photoshop to clearly reveal the driver of the car, despite the window glare. It is not the guy that has been used as a patsy and now sits in jail.

For now, you can go to Twitter and see this ...

This ‘schizophrenia’ story may be the government’s attempt to avoid trial.

“Was he with the Antifa morons or not?”

No. He was pictured with Vanguard(Neo-Nazi)

Are they talking about the man in the photo reversing the car at high speed while looking through the rear view mirror or the kid who pinched for the crime?

You are being deliberately dishonest.

He was diagnosed as schizophrenic. He was mentally ill. He was given medication for mental illness. He had a history of violent, irrational behavior.

A terrorist is part of a group that uses terror to promote a political agenda. A person’s name has nothing to do with it.

So he pleads “Guilty By Reason of Insanity”, and No Trial, which would have uncovered some inconvenient details.

Yes it is in some cases. Unless you are totally ignorant of the laws in this country you would know that.

The extent to which he is responsible is for the courts to decide.

The mentaly ill nowadays are sponsored in their madness by the system to keep crazy. It is called Nevropsy, whereby once someone takes med, no one dares criticize them or raise them as before and their behavior becomes even more vicious as a ward of officials in hospitals.

The only thing they treat them for is a form of empowerment. If the crazy somehow is able to keep a “professional” posture at their workplace in agreement with the professional distance of a nurse with respect to patient, then they release them.

The result is the like of Obama, ie crazies who act impressive and professional and make terror based decisions. The cult of no-fault professionalism of any accredited authority is the source or corruption. One being a cop or a nurse does not make one entitled to be a cop or a nurse and the rest of us potnwtial patients and suspects, but it is how childlishly retarded the cult demands it, with all this “expert worship” not to be questioned.

In any case, the result of “do not criticize” cult means either an unreformable schizo who murders people or a professionalized one who gains power in DC. He mental state of most congress members is proof of that

So if a schizophrenic who is mentally ill and is on or off his medications sets an IED on a road in Afghanistan and kills people, he is not a terrorist?

Just read an article that he had been diagnosed as schizophrenic and prescribed meds for it, and had been arrested for domestic violence against his mother after she told him to stop playing video games. Also the Army dismissed him after he had only served four months for failing to meet standards. I ygink the guy is basically a mental case. Likely too out of it to have any real ideology. A useful idiot maybe, or maybe just an angry mental case who snapped.

Belonging to a Neo-Nazi group, the KKK, Antifa or BLM, AND being mentally ill aren't mutually exclusive. (I could argue that they are entirely consistent.)

I'm not likely to serve on the jury, so I can say that so far I've seen ample evidence to believe that Fields is guilty of homicide (a crime), has Nazi sympathies (not a crime), is stupid (not a crime) schozophrenic (not a crime), and was deemed unfit to serve in the United States Army (not a crime).

He got into an accident and his car was surrounded by a mob. Could it be that those were triggers and he felt an uncontrolled need to get away? I'm not sure if the mob surrounded his car before the accident occurred.

This was a disaster that would eventually happen. There's been a lot of concern since since those BLM protests were first allowed to block streets and traffic a few years ago.
