So you think he should be out in a few years if he shows he can be mentally stable?? Catch me on the poli board. That’s ridiculous. The dude is dangerous to society and needs to be locked up. Mental disorder or not their are plenty of crazies that shouldn’t get an easy way out.
It's not that simple and it's laughable that you think an asylum is an 'easy way out.' Any random mental disorder doesn't make you insane. However, psychotic disorders can and do. If a person is compliant with treatment they can live a relatively normal life. Not all are compliant and some are medication resistant (you don't let people like that who've committed violent crimes out).
None of it is is simple or easy and these cases don't come with a one size fits all solution.

You wouldn't find something like that, or 9/11 memes, here on this board though because most people here aren't trash.

This is not a new story.
It’s tragic beyond measure.
But if rushing to a message board to chirp about something about which you know nothing--simply to score some kind of personal trolling triumph—does it for you, well that’s unfortunate.

Geez man, at least when we kill people it's because they were trying to steal from us.

Really a fricked up, sad situation.
Indeed. Absolutely no winners in this story.

Agreed. A&M is a joke school/ program but this situation is too effed up for a football board. Plenty of other aggy alums to ridicule.
Yeah.

It's one of the few issues I have with Texas Criminal Law. It pretty much ignores insanity as a criminal defense because you must prove that you did not know what you were doing was "wrong" because of a severe mental defect. It's hard to prove.
It's nearly impossible to win with an insanity defense but the media has convinced people that you can easily just say you were insane and get off easy. Ironically, many lawyers will tell you that even if the defendant is insane you're better off attempting a completely different defense strategy because that defense has such an gigantic failure rate.

but Hernandez had mental disorders and was not a part of the florida program when his murder happened..
murders that we know of.... however he was a member of the Florida program when he shot a guy in the face.
Hernandez obviously had some screws loose but he wasn't a complete nutjob incapable of recognizing reality like this former A&M player. Hernandez just seemed more like a sociopath to me

Oh, I agree.
But, when one is ACTUALLY INSANE, that defense is not available to them either, in Texas.

you probably have never been to the poli board.

you should check out the Q thread too. it is a few thousand pages long tho plenty of intriguing stuff there. Pretty sure the NSA is watching that thread because of multiple people wanting former presidents to burn alive and 911 conspiracies and katrina conspiracies.

i think that was a sick response to a kid who clearly had mental issues, to somehow connect that to Texas A&M is beyond acceptability

Then, in the aftermath of the Aggies' biggest win in more than a decade, Thomas abruptly left College Station -- a departure that even now is blurred by questions. In the weeks before the game, Thomas had begun comparing himself to the character played by Denzel Washington in The Book of Eli, a post-apocalyptic film about a loner who hears a voice that tells him to deliver a sacred text to a secret location on the West Coast. According to his roommate, linebacker Michael Richardson, "he was breaking it down to us, and we were like, 'What are you watching, bro?' It was like he [had watched] a completely different movie." By then, Richardson says, "something had spiritually messed him up. He'd sit in his room for hours, reading his Bible and smoking weed. He got distant from everybody. I told him he needed help."
quote:
Two days after the Alabama game, the Aggies had a special-teams meeting scheduled at the Bright Football Complex. Because Thomas' Malibu had broken down, Richardson offered to give him a lift. "Nah, it's OK," he said. "I'll see you there." Instead, shortly after 1 p.m., Thomas walked out of their apartment with the television on and didn't come back. The engagement ring he'd bought for his girlfriend was in his pocket; he wanted to give it to her personally. His knapsack was full of Bibles. There was a Greyhound station 30 miles away, in Hearne, and Thomas walked the entire way. His feet became so blistered that he took off his shoes to walk the final stretch barefoot. It wasn't until the next day, when he failed to show up to a second straight practice, that his coaches realized he was gone.
quote:
The statewide manhunt for Thomas came to an end three days after his departure, when Robert Johnson found him at the home of a high school friend, talking in a garage. The truck driver tried to coax his son out, but Thomas wouldn't budge. Seeing no other option, Robert called the police. When Thomas spotted a squad car pulling up, he bolted out a back door and started running. "Thomas is crazy," his friend told the officers. "He believes he's Jesus."
quote:
After three days of court-ordered supervision, Thomas left Green Oaks with his father. "I said, 'Son, I need you to tell me what's going on. If you don't tell me, I don't know how to help you,'" Robert recalls. Thomas' reply, he says, was pleading: "Dad, I'm hearing these voices in my head. ... They're just telling me to do different things. Stuff I don't want to do."
quote:
Six years younger than his second cousin, he had visions of becoming a football star and was thrilled that he got to drive with Thomas to College Station in the summer of 2012 to check out his new home. But just six months later, soon after Thomas was released from Green Oaks, Elijah saw a different side of his cousin. "Please forgive me," Thomas said when he stopped by Elijah's house one evening. "I sold my soul to the devil." Elijah told Thomas it was late and he needed to get some rest. But Thomas left, only to return past midnight to speak to Elijah's father, Roderick. "We have to deliver Elijah," Roderick recalls him saying. "Deliver him where?" "To the crucifixion."
quote:
It was during this period that Thomas began to take walks that, family members say, lasted as long as a day. "I asked him why he walked so much and he said it was because he couldn't sleep," recalls Brenda Cradler, his mother's sister. "He said the voices in his head wouldn't stop."
quote:
Clarissa wasn't the only one unnerved by Thomas' behavior that day. Richardson, his former roommate, recalls that Coach Beaty called him in a panic when Thomas showed up at the Bright Football Complex and was walking in circles and talking to himself. "He said [Thomas] came down with a backpack and looked bad and was trying to get on the team," Richardson says. Beaty offered to get Thomas help. "But TJ didn't want to hear that," Richardson says. "Coach Beaty had to get him escorted out because he was getting aggressive."
