He's desperate to prove that he's sane because if he's proven not sane he's definitely going to be locked away and treated for the rest of his life, if he's sane there is a chance that he'll be able to go free after 21 years.

"Hell of a weird trial" bears repeating in this instance.

You're supposed to lynch everyone. Smiley: schooled

or at minimum spend millions of dollars debating whether he should be locked up in a jail or a mental institute for the rest of his life...

I always thought that the little individual kingdoms and pockets of micro civilizations made it so that the modern political boundaries don't have much to do with cultural identity.

Seems like he's just a deranged racist @#%^wit to me, but I'm an American Southerner, what do I know about racist @#%^wits...


Don't even get me started with the Filipino culture. Filipinos are pretty much nothing but an amalgamation of every civilization/culture that conquered/dominated/visited the native islanders of those islands. There are so many different dialects that someone from one province wouldn't understand another from another. There are traditions common enough to all, but there are still a lot of distinctions.

But balut is enjoyed by all.

That's an interesting dynamic, since everyone here is always eager to have themselves declared insane.

I'm not sure which way I prefer, really.

He feels that his identity and race is threatened by them dirty muslims/eastern europeans and whatever else. So yeah, it's mostly racism/antisemitism but sold in a new way in an attempt to make it look less hateful.

Either way it's unlikely that he'll ever go free as I doubt anyone will stop considering him as a danger to society.
But in the Netherlands at least there's been criticism on the mental institutions because some people got stuck in there indefinitely while they were actually treated and no longer a danger to society, you're just kind of stuck in there forever by default. Which is why people would rather serve jail time because then at least they're fairly certain they'll be free again at some point event though prison climate is a lot more harsh than a mental institution. Although neither would be considered a harsh environment at all compared to US prisons, especially Norwegian prisons.

Anyway, Breivik will probably spend the rest of his life locked up, he prefers prison over a mental institution because there's a small chance he'll be free at some point and because being declared insane would hurt the validity of the message he tried to send by committing his crimes.

Ted Kaczynsk took a plea so not to have his sanity questioned. Most people like these two want a trial so they can have a forum for their crazy while not admitting they are crazy.

What I suspect is that the Sanford police simply took him at his word of "self defense" without digging too thoroughly into it because, hey, he seemed like a nice guy who wouldn't shoot a kid unless he had probable cause to suspect him of being dangerous.


With respect, in my opinion this is exactly wrong. The police knew him better than his own father did, is my guess. He certainly talked to them more, by all accounts. Scores of 911 calls, trying to cozy up to them at every opportunity? Cops are not (necessarily) stupid. They knew he was going to kill someone some day, in all likelihood. He sees himself as Dirty Harry. Tragically, he's more of a Travis Bickle.

What does that say about the police in Sanford, Florida? Depends on whether they really were continuing the investigation. I don't know the answer. I suspect they knew they needed to get Zimmerman off the street before he killed someone who mattered, though.


Wasn't Bickle hailed as a hero?

Look, if you're going to insist on apples to apples comparisons, we'll never get through this. Do you know how long it takes to transmogrify people to apples?

I hear there's new technology about to be released that lowers the turnaround time to a 4-9 year range. I just hope the government approves it.
