US wildlife refuge standoff defendant scuffles with deputies

9. You have my apologies for what your child went thru, that sounds CLEARLY WRONG ...

And I most definitely am empathetic and understanding towards the exact problems you describe when it comes to our criminal 'justice' system.

That being said ... my guess is that Ryan Bundy is NOT suffering anything resembling the sort of 'psychotic break' you're describing happened to your son.

Ergo, I think we're talking about the proverbial 'apples and oranges' when it comes to this particular situation. I think in HIS case, we're talking about someone who is consciously manipulating 'the system', and NOT for the purpose of promoting proper JUSTICE, as I'd like to have seen in your son's case. But rather, he's acting as he is ... for an ENTIRELY different reason.

Just my $.02, fwiw ...

As an aside, I absolutely DESPISE the use of 'solitary' as a means to deal with anyone, most importantly people suffering from mental illness. NOTHING could be more cruel and unusual. It's truly a despicable practice. My heart goes out to you and yours ...
