Since Sarah Palin says he had PTSD that President Obama neglected ...

1. Yes, the condition is genetic and unfortunately inherited. n/t

[backscatter712]

6. I can see how he got PTSD from his mother... n/t

[JonLeibowitz]

7. The insanity, I mean. n/t

[backscatter712]

14. That too... :D

Of course, I'd have PTSD if I was raised by Sarah Palin...

[Hoyt]

2. I'd be more inclined to let him off for a tough childhood, if he agrees to seek counseling.

Being brought up in an environment of gunz, hatred, ignorance, etc., takes its toll on any kid. Close to mental illness tI guess, but quite mainstream in a lot of families.

3. Why should HE be found not guilty because of HER insanity?

[Skittles]

4. PTSD and insanity are not the same

[catnhatnh]

5. Ne needs at very least

to be judges mentally ill and have his right to firearms taken away...

8. Anyone would be nuts with Palin as the role model nt

[Snobblevitch]

9. What a ridiculous question.

[Nevernose]

10. I've got PTSD

It's an illness, maybe even a disorder. One that can be managed through the right drugs and the right therapy and the right attitude.

Also, I've never hit a woman, drunk or sober, even when I've been hit. PTSD, like alcohol, is a poor excuse for domestic violence.

If anyone would like to see the difference between mentally ill and insane, see if you can't take a tour of your local jail. The actually criminally insane are clearly insane and would be clear to a five year old. It's also depressing as hell, because 99% of the people in the crazy block are there because the system failed them in some major way. We'd rather lock people up than take care of them (which is both immoral and fiscally dumb), but that's really a whole other thread.

15. Yep. There's legitimate mental illness, and there's just being an asshole.

Track Palin is just an asshole (along with his mother). He didn't even see combat when he served, so I highly doubt he really has PTSD.

11. Who gives a fuck?

Although once again, the Party of Personal Responsibility refuses to take responsibility for personal behavior.

[onecaliberal]

12. He needs help, (far away from his mother) and he should NOT have firearms.

[Iggo]

13. He punched a woman and then pulled a gun.

Sanity or no sanity, lock that fucker up.
