Might be one heck of an insanity defense case...

Posted by David Hardy · 30 December 2005 07:14 PM

A ... well, I'd be tempted to call it a rather very small scale terrorist attack in Chandler, Arizona. I suppose it's a little more like an interesting hypothetical for an insanity defense. Guy crashes car into a Home Depot, drives thru the inside until he smashes the paint department, sets the paint department afire, and then waits for arrest.

Motivation was (a) to get even for a lack of promotion; (b) to protest proposals for a fence along the border with Mexico and (c) to make the US more free. Along the way he locked his dog in the trunk with his Quran since he wanted to show it to the dog. But the dog, being an unclean beast, was upset at being confined with a holy book.

Home Depot in the area says if he is released, they'll post armed guards. It might be easier to let some employees pack. And hand them dart guns with antipsychotics as the first line of defense.

Thanks to Landis Aden for the tip....
