Hope she rots in jail for a long long time.

Yeah, the running away definately means that she knew her actions were in the wrong, given that she was clearly trying to escape the consequences, and, since an inability to distinquish right from wrong is the core of an insanity plea, I'm thinking any halfway decent prosecutor could tear that one apart fairly quickly.

Also, leaving aside the stupidity of "all Muslims are responsible for 9/11!!", where the hell is pulling Hinduism from? Or is it an inbility to tell those scary brown people apart?

Her insanity plea isn't gonna hold water, but I sincerely hope this woman gets some help and soon. She's got a whole hell of a lot of issues.

That's actually not necessarily true. Flight does not always show that one was in control of her actions at the time of an action.

This is why I like hate speech laws. Hate mongering affects people and they make it part of their world view, especially if they already have a black/white, hero/villain mentality. People die, clearly, because of shit like that.

Y'know what would've prevented that?

More guns.

I hope this was sarcasm. Because if not, "facepalm.gif"!

Reminds me. I saw a joke on Facebook recently. Q. How many NRA members does it take to change a light bulb? A. More guns.

Omg, I love that joke
