@earl-of-trumps saidWell, that certainly is one for the books!
And I thought American Jurists/courts were screwed up!!
--------------------------
Top French court won’t prosecute Jewish woman’s killer because he was on weed[i]
Court of Cassation upholds ruling that Kobili Traore can’t be held criminally responsible for Sarah Halimi’s killing as he was in a psychotic state from marijuana use
France’s highest cou ...[text shortened]... indow to her death, yells out the infamous Allahu Akbar, and there is no trial
Holy molee. 😠 😕
Good grief.
Seemingly the “killer” has been in- and out of psychosis for years. And being a heavy pot smoker doesn’t make that illness any better.
I.e.he didn’t kill because he was using pot, he killed because he was psychotic. The drug abuse is a side issue.
I can actually side, to a certain extent, with the court that the man can’t be held criminally responsible, but surely “psychiatric treatment in a closed facility” would be the way to go.
So, not a prison sentence... they have set rules about when you’ve done your time... just locked up and let loose when the shrink says you’re cured (which you never really are).

@shavixmir saidThat makes a lot more sense. The thread title is misleading.
he didn’t kill because he was using pot, he killed because he was psychotic.

@vivify saidWell as a casual weekend green burner my slight paranoia is telling me it probably wasn’t a coincidence that this incredibly non pious Muslim chose a Jewish woman to throw out of a window.
Come to think of it, being Jewish had nothing to do with it either. WTF Earl,
But maybe it was 🚬

You may be right but what we are critiquing is what the court said. He killed because he was on weed.
Sure is strange. I just think it may be another case of protect the Muslim. my opinion

@kevcvs57 saidYup. And I think that is why the case ended up in headline news.

@shavixmir saidThe French aren't exactly having a love affair with Jews right now.
Protect the muslim? In France?
Hahaha
And like in America, Muslims may have some loud distractors but the PC are on their side.
That's the government / court system. But you're the euro, you tell me.

@dood111 saidOf course the same rule won't apply. This time it will be a "hate crime".
Waiting for the shoe to drop.......
Surely there will come a time when a Muslim in France is hacked up by a Jew or Christian that says he was high on weed as an excuse........
Will the same rules apply?
America is not the only country that has no regard for "equal protection"
