In reply to the discussion: High Elf, High on Acid, Attacks Woman's BMW With a Sword [View all]csziggy
(34,189 posts)42. He says he has mental issues
"Wednesday night, Bass told KATU News was high on acid and suffering from hypomania when he attacked Bales' car. He admitted he's had mental health problems since he was a teenager. He also said he was off his "meds" at the time of the attack because he was trying holistic treatment instead of the pills he usually takes."
That was taken from this story which is much more detailed, including an interview with the woman whose car was attacked:

"He took a giant step and all of a sudden he was on the hood of my car. Oh, and we didn't know what to do so he's standing there and we just kept thinking, he'll go away. We'll just be really quiet then he stepped up on to the roof," Bales said.

"We didn't know he had a weapon. And, he pulled a sword out of his robe that was about three feet long. It looked like from the days of King Arthur," she said.

"He gets up and he stands on the hood of my car and he takes the sword and he begins plunging it into the hood of my car," Bales explained.

Since the incident concluded with Konrad Bass still alive, I'm going to presume he's white.

In all seriousness, I don't know what these guys are eating, but I suspect it's not actual LSD.

Yeah, I would agree he has mental issues, & if those swords are live steel as I suspect they are....

I've done more than my share of acid. It never made me want to hack at anything with a sword.
