After the attack, Deobra Redden told a marshal the “judge has it out for me” and “judge is evil,” according to a document from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

    Probably the most reasonable approach.

    The system is rigged to benefit a select group of rich people and companies, might as well go out fighting it.

      I’m sure the system is rigged, and a lot of people who shouldn’t, go to jail, but in the case of this particular individual the judge was 100% right and the defendant showed it loud and clear that her reasoning was right.

      The irony is that this guy probably can’t help his behavior and didn’t come to that action by rational choice.

      So while he literally can’t help lashing out in the face of intrusive thoughts, you by choice support violence for nonsensical reasons.

      It’s like looking at someone in a wheelchair and commenting that they are completely right in that it’s only fair not to walk to protest the patriarchy or some other BS.

      A bit ableist and unsympathetic of you towards the guy effectively unable to prevent throwing his life away due to disabled impulse control.

        Yeah, nah.

        This is more a case of celebrating the stopped clock being right. It doesn’t matter if it was a conscious choice or not, it was still the right time.
