This is what happens when we send people to war and expect them to come out fine. The loss of the officer's life was a tragic consequence, but it's ultimately the fault of the United states for failing to care for returning veterans. Executing him was disgusting and cowardly.

This happened 30 years after returning from Viet Nam. Do you believe Brannan knew right from wrong?

quote:

the court-appointed psychiatrist concluded that Brannan was sane, and the jury could have inferred from comments made by Brannan during the crime and after his arrest that he shot the victim because he believed the 22 year old deputy was not showing him a sufficient amount of respect. Regarding his dancing during the altercation, Brannan explained to the police that he once defused a tense situation with an angry man by dancing and saying “shoot me.” He also later told a psychiatrist that he had seen Mel Gibson act that way in the movie “Lethal Weapon.

You idiot, that was the desperate defense angle trying to get sympathy.


Granted, I don't know much about PTSD, but if it was really triggered here, would he really be making jokes?
