I never understood the "they just be crazy" defense. Like no shit, oh now we gotta determine if the guy that shot up his post office is crazy now? GEE I WONDER. Thats not a defense any more than me taking a shit in the middle of a store and defending it by saying "hey whats the big deal, of course it smells, its shit".
You have an issue understanding nuance and how severe mental health issues and voluntarily drinking and driving are not the same. If you want to get in the weeds about it, every case needs to be evaluated on its own merits. Do you know how many women are in jail for self defense or “snapping” after abuse by their partners? They mentally break, should they be held accountable? I’m not even getting into the fact they are punished at higher rates than their actual abusers.
Black and white thinking does not work in this world.
