You left-wing, anti-American, socialist who support Bernie Sanders certainly are a strange bunch.

I tried to read this fast, and fast does not work. He seems to be pro-Trump on even numbered days and pro-Bernie on odd numbered days. I don't think he likes Hillary though.

here.......whatever it says.....

That "autopilot defense" might actually work in Portland, Oregon.

I don't think the guy has any real political bias, he is just mentally nuts. This does not excuse his actions, he should be locked up for life for murder.

I don't think that's how it works..... If actually nuts

That is where I disagree with the judicial system in the U.S. -- if a person is nuts then they should still be legally held responsible for their actions.

The problem today is that defense teams rush out to find a friendly psychologist to invent a diagnosis supportive of the criminal's lapsed mental state so the U.S. legal system will excuse them from paying the penalty for their crime.

So someone in a psychotic state brought about by brain trauma or defect is cognisant of their actions?

Are you going to let this brain trauma person wander your streets and freely get away with murder? What about the criminal whose lawyer claims in court the murderer is mentally incapable because his mother neglected him as a child? Where does this nonsense stop?

If you do a criminal act then you need to serve the appropriate time for your criminal act. Sliding out on your responsibility based "mental illness" is absurd.

That's a bit of a reach. What I'm saying is his actions would be excused as not his fault and he'd get to live his life locked up in a mental institution is all. You know, the premise of the original argument.
