#1 He's got a valid defense - as a Muslim (and a Jihadi one at that) he is obviously crazy. He certainly can't tell right from wrong, since he believes what he did was 'right'. It is equally certain he has no business being loose on the streets - ever. I prescribe a lobotomy - extensive.

#2 Glenmore,
Right, as a Pak Muz, insanity is a given. Get right past that. Guilty. Cook him. Does Washington have the death penalty ? They're pretty liberal up there.

#3 Why isn't it under WOT?

#4 Don't the criminally insane have to stay in a locked ward until deemed cured? Given that after ten years of treatment he was capable of this kind of violence, how could the psychiatrists declare him so far improved as to be incapable of another bout of SJS?

#6 Fine, send him to one of those forgotten, run down, insane asylums that are teaming with roaches and rats. Tie him down to a rusty bed frame with piss stained sheets and leave him there to scream it out for about 30 years. When he is supposedly "cured", he can then be tried for the crimes and sent to state prison.

#7 If ignorance of the law is no excuse, why should insanity be? If comprehending law was a requirement to breaking it, then no one would ever be guilty the way the pols write the laws.

He should ride the lightning.

#9 I thought about filing this under WOT, and was really tempted but this didn't seem as part of the actual 'war' itself - I could be wrong. The mods can move it.

Since he was under treatment for 10 years he must have had it under some sort of control right? Was he refusing to take his meds?

Given that he would be placed in a institution in Washington state he'll probably be out in a couple of years.

#10 He might be crazy but I'd still like to know if somebody put him up to it.

#11 Criminal insanity is, in most States, pretty tough to prove.

Of course if you get some muslims or anti semites or lefty nuts on the jury, who knows.

#12 Death by being shot by Jewish women.

Half of whom will be anti-gun Progressives who will close their eyes and shriek each time that thing in their hands goes "bang!", the other half of whom will bring their own guns... or fighting staffs, nunchucks, throwing stars...

#13 This is why God gave us the South Pole.
Drop this nut and others like him on the SP and let them live there in peace.

#14 Mr. Haq's mouthpiece lawyer can prove insanity by documenting the koran's words relevent to apes and pigs?

#15 "Does Washington have the death penalty ? They're pretty liberal up there."
Unfortunately, No we do not.
parts of WA are so liberal and unwilling to hurt anybody that there is baseball league up here that not only doesn't keep score, but nobody is ever 'out', you can swing until you hit and other assorted BS.

#16 Since he was under treatment for 10 years he must have had it under some sort of control right?

Not necessarily.

'Bi-polar' covers a wide range of mental illnesses and about 20% of those diagnosed bi-polar aren't stabilized long-term by a drug regimen. A few will have one, or sporadic, psychotic episodes which are hard to predict or prevent. Those who have recurring psychotic episodes are often re-diagnosed as having schizo-affective disorder, which combines elements of the mood instability found in bi-polar with elements of the disordered thinking found in schizophrenia.

#17 Washington State does have the death penalty for aggravated first degree murder where there are no sufficiently mitigating circumstances to warrant leniency.

We also still have hanging.

So you've met my sister-in-law, have you?

#19 Believing in Islam doesn't indicate insanity; just stupidity.
