Is This Justice?

Story here.

Is it justice?

He'll be out soon enough, no doubt. This is, after all, Canada. All you have to do to get away with evil atrocities is to say you're nuts, that so and so told you to do this and that. And some very possibly ideological, corrupt, perhaps simply incompetent (what's "insane", anyway, and how is it demonstrated/proven?) "psychiatrists" will believe the guy, who may have studied psychology, may have been trained to act convincingly insane, whatever. He might not be insane at all... the whole thing could be an evil act for some evil purpose.

I just don't believe he's necessarily nuts. Which "god" is he referring to? Who knows? Allah? Odin? Zeus? Obama? What kind of "god" would tell someone to commit atrocities on an innocent?

How does one cure such insanity? Drugs? No way- that's not a cure, and there's always the danger of going off them... you figure out the rest. Therapy? Doubtful, in such an extreme case. Can insanity even be cured? I suppose it depends on what kind we're talking about. "Progressivism" can certainly be cured, as we well know, but the kind of lunacy in the case in question... I don't care what the psychiatric texts say- it's not a real science, after all... it appears to be more a matter of understanding human psychological nature, but it hardly counts as a science, as it's more of an art, actually. I understand a lot about human psychology, actually, from interactions and observations with numerous people and making note of patterns and so on and so forth to arrive at normative/abnormative analyses. But I wouldn't call it a "science". I think that, if one understands psychology to the same extent as a professional, one could easily develop an act convincing enough to get the pros to believe one's act as the genuine article. This is a possibility.

Letting him get "treatment" and then letting him go will send all the wrong signals to those who would like to commit atrocities and put on an insane act afterwards to get off easy.

Justice? Not in my book.
