    Give me a break. They might as well go with the “affluenza” defense.

    A person goes into a bank that they "planned" to rob, and makes it to the door, but drops all of the money before hitting the streets and the police arrest him. This individual has never been in the military or done anything similar to that, evokes PTSD, before a judge and believes he should get off with no consequences. AIN'T going to cut that. You commit a crime, break the law, does not give you the right to self-impose the consequences of the breach of law to suit yourself. This is an indication of a depraved mindset. Right and wrong has been switched. Too many people are getting hold of a bad batch of "coolaid" that is contaminating their brains. If this person had any integrity, it is gone now. Morality is conditional to make sure he does not get punished. Using PTSD is a slap in the face of those that have had experiences in which that has surfaced in their lives. Very distasteful. I have no compassion or sympathy for anyone that does this when they have been caught red handed and is about to pay the piper. You pay the cost to be the boss.
