A pro-Palestinian activist has been sentenced to more than 19 years in prison after pleading guilty to 'firebombing' a police car on a college campus.

Casey Robert Goonan, 35, committed a series of attacks at UC Berkley as part of an anti-Israel protest in June 2024.

Goonan, who uses they/them pronouns and is bipolar, lit a bag of six explosives under a University of California Police Department patrol car, causing the car to be engulfed in flames.

'After spending over a year incarcerated, I've had time to reflect on the reality of my actions and the reality of my bipolar disorder. I understand that I need treatment,'

After spending over a year incarcerated

So after being denied full time access to leftist propaganda on TV and the internet for a year, a slight bit of sanity awakens.

No. He’s a sociopath and narcissist and had been coached by other sociopaths to feign remorse.

He’s 35, committed an atrocious crime, spent a year in jail and has now admitted he needs treatment? Away from the insanity he immersed himself with and with 18 more years to go, well now it seems too little too late. Give him his meds while in prison serving out his time.

He needs treatment allright, but not from a shrink.

The “treatment “ this pathetic sociopath needs involves being locked away from civil society for a very long time. Enjoy your showers.

These nutcases say that they are not defined by gender, so they are neither male nor female, sometimes they are attracted to females and sometimes they are attracted to males. These crazy people just refuse to use the common term of bisexual and think they are cooler by inventing a new word.

As you refer to, the woke press still can’t give it up. Refers to him as “them” in the article

And incarceration.

Bipolar and Bisexual. That boy is really mixed up.

Maybe some electroshock therapy might help.

He should have resisted arrest and thereby been “treated” to a hickory shampoo, a sidewalk sandwich, and a blanket party.
