No mention of chopping off and burning his dick, just talked about self harm and him burning the garage. Wonder if this was edited afterwards or open is just projecting?
😬
Mentally ill person harms himself in a terrible way and the response of the state is to put him in jail? That's so American.
It’s a real dick move
He's really getting the shaft
To be fair though the state was in a bit of a pickle.
So he can get raped and become more mentally ill. Makes sense
Well we can't just let him cut off his own penis and set it on fire again
So? I did this last Tuesday and you don't see me bragging about it.
Sounds too much like work.
Is that really a crime? I can’t see that really causing property damage. Shouldn’t he just be in the hospital to get stabilized on medication?
Police and firefighters responded to the property on May 6 after receiving a report of a stabbing and a fire at a detached garage. According to investigators, a nearby resident noticed flames coming from the garage and alerted the property owners
Yea I know I read that but there wasn’t a stabbing.,that’s when he cut his d off.
I know it's a cultural thing, but as a European I never understood why the US doesn't protect the identity of mentally ill people.
for-profit prisons and a 24-hour news cycle. i was never a fan of public mugshots, since they can stay online forever even if the charges are dropped
In medicine, the entire mental health part of a chart remains hidden unless there’s a mental health reason to break past that block. And since every click in medical charting is recorded, you’re not doing that for fun and keeping your job. Nvm the fact that most of the people with access to the medical chart would respect the info anyway.
And yet, anyone else with a camera and a platform is free to spew.
Half of the country is mentally ill. It's just normal for them
30%
The whole country is, so if they didn't violate those rights nothing would get done.
what is the charge, burning a penis? a succulent penis?!
A succulent charred penis
This is decockracy manifest.
De-cockery
Annikin, is that you?
Dicks off to pay respects.
That's not very Harambe of you.
His attorney says the case has raised serious questions about his mental state
No shit, Sherlock
Thought they had duplicated the mug shot at first, then I realised he must have been beside himself
I thought they were before and after pictures.
After the first frame I thought his opponent was going to be his penis
Wake up babe, new bottom surgery just dopped
Mine has led me into trouble, but I was never that annoyed with it.
good attitude. No point having a short temper at your short comings.
He's kinda cute. Shame about the penis and mental health.
Yup. He might have no balls but he has two strikes against him.
Dude took Zardoz way too seriously
Did I miss something in the article? Apart from the headline, nothing says anything about being dismembered. It says he was stabbed.
Article says he lied about being stabbed once at the hospital and that the wound was self inflicted, but yeah there's no mention of what the actual harm was
the real article is members only
My God. Did ... did they at least manage to save the penis?
Why are people hating their penises right now? This dude and the firecracker dude... chill with the penile punishment!
