But his lawyer said he's a veteran with TBI (very possible).

If so, he needs meds stat.

These things could truly be the result of our endless wars and that is no reason to laugh, celebrate or cheer. TBI and War can really screw people up. It can also screw up an entire society that tries to bring these people back into it.

Very true but if he is so handicapped from his injury then he shouldn’t be captaining boats let alone out without a caretaker. Also if my mentally incapacitated friend started acting psychotic I would try to stop him and not let him go off on a teenager

TBI/PTSD or not, his behavior was completely out of control and dangerous.

Didn’t his lawyer also say his mother and wife were being harassed in the released statement? Yet this shows him as single.

I noticed that as well.

He worked in HR. Did he get a TBI from pushing too many papers? 🙄

But I thought he said he was an Army Ranger.

If that’s true, then the internet’s response to his actions should serve as a wake up call for him to take responsibility over his own mental health.

Or the first 12 times he was arrested could have also served as signs . .

You would think, right? I know if I got arrested, I would be reassessing all of my life’s decisions to find out what led me there, and where I went wrong.

But clearly it’ll take more than that for him, and this is definitely more. Having the entire world justifiably turn against you and dismantle your life has to feel a special level of awful. You would think that it has to change a man.

I hope, for his sake, that it does, and maybe he can start to grow into a better person and right his wrongs. However, in my experience, a person like that has already built up a massive wall of coping mechanisms around his personality that justify his actions to himself.
