Batman Theater Shooter Trial

[Ted S]

Looks like the alleged shooter is going to be going for the insanity defense.  Personally, I don't see how that could possibly be successful unless the jury was filled complete dopes.

There is clearly something wrong with this guy's head but by what I have been reading, he was keenly aware that what he planned to do, and what he in fact did, was gravely wrong.

I bet he gets the death penalty.

If this isn't death penalty I can't imagine what is.

[donni]

death penalty is barbaric.

and of course he's insane. no sane person would do what he did. he is pathetic. he is sooooo pathetically insane.

i wonder if he was on any 'medication'-seeing doctor who prescribed these crazy making drugs.

You seem to be putting doctors in a tough spot Donni.  If he or she prescribes a drug and and the patient commits a crime, the doctor is liable. Would it also be true that if the doctor didn't prescribe any medication and a crime was committed, he or she could be liable too?

Anybody who accuses a nut of being a nut is liable to get sued.

yea, i realize that, and don't mean to put them on the spot.  i really disagree with gov't interference with good doctors, but we need ethical doctors who aren't just pill distributors and pushers for the pharm companies that are only looking to profit, and whether the pill works or not, for the majority, or what harms they may cause hardly seems to be the consideration. money keeps trumping common sense and human kindness. rude...disgusting.

Out here in the State of By God Oklahoma with decreasing regulations, we have a medical service population interested only in pushing pills and selling medical appliances, care be damned. But how can one distinguish between a good doctor and a charlatan?  Particularly difficult in a world that increases in charlatan population.

Which brings us back to results-based Obamacare. Just that approach alone would cut down on any incentive for a doctor to become a pill pushing appliance peddler.

What are you talking about, clara?  Are you criticizing the modern practice of psychiatry, which is now based upon the prescription of medication?  Do you think psychiatrists need to pull out the couches and have these homicidal maniacs submit to Freudian therapy?
