On the other hand he might spend the rest of his life in Broadmoor, and would personally have been better off being found sane and guilty by the court. The Nazi arsehole who did the 1999 London nail bombings was diagnosed as schizophrenic and is unlikely to leave prison alive. I can’t say I’m unhappy about that outcome, just the way it happened.
I’m probably about as far from wanting to defend Nazis as you can get (my comment history should back this up) but sectioning is something I fear as a libertarian-socialist and PTSD sufferer, and considering how Extinction Rebellion was classed as a terrorist organisation I feel justified in that fear. I don’t believe the apology from the police, they keep doing this over and over again.
