Fear not.....he'll be arrested for something else soon enough.
And he gets a pass, because ya know......PTSD. That is the basis for EVERYTHING he does from this point forward. Surely he would be a fine, upstanding gentleman were it not for that tragic diagnosis. Since he has it, all is forever forgiven.

(2,615 posts)unless you were prone to violence before your traumatic experience(s). It's not a free pass or an excuse. It is simply a consideration that is taken into account by courts, doctors, etc.
I'm guessing he's always been violence prone when drunk.
I've had PTSD since 1968('Nam). Last time I started a fight was 1958.

The police also released a detailed report about the fracas, which occurred at a party at the house of Korey Klingenmeyer, on 6 September. Officers responded to a dispatch at about 2244 hours to a disturbance in which about 20 people were involved.
When Officers Justin Blake and John Daily arrived, Palins eldest son Track who had blood around his mouth and on his hands, appeared to have an injury under his left eye and on his upper cheek, and wasnt wearing a shirt was being walked towards a long white limousine by several people, two of whom were Sarah Palin and her husband Todd.

At least that's what I've been told by the locals. Easier in my experience to simply avoid the whole thing completely.

To me this sounds like Track is addicted to pills.
I have been around people who acted like this if they couldn't get their fix.

(7,486 posts)allowed to enter the service instead of go to jail? In the dark recesses of what I call a mind I think a judge gave him a choice. As I recall he vandalized school buses. The judge then made his issues the armys issues. I could be wrong and if I am someone will tell me.
