More bs gaslighting from the wannabe fascists.

When asked his impression of Watkins’ argument, attorney Lionel Hutz said “I may be a Hutz, but Watkins is a putz!”
I wonder if Watkins not only represents this rioter but was also a rioter himself.

She is terrible for plenty reasons, and supported the insurrectionists, but didn’t fund any buses

In normal circumstances, a lawyer coming up with this shit would be dropped by their client, disbarred and ends up living in a trailer park collecting tin cans…
…in this world, you know he’s just received a call from Mar a Lago.

The dude is literally blaming trump for the insurrection. I doubt the Qult appreciates that.

As someone on the spectrum that actually rode the short bus, I find his comments very offensive.

I wonder if even a skilled lawyer can present a logical convincing defense for the rioters.
I rest my case.

It began as Dr Hans Asperger’s classification of functional enough to be useful to the Reich and not to be exterminated.

Grunya Sukhareva was a Jewish socialist woman though, so she had to be erased from history.

Couldn’t any attorney use this as a defense for any crime?
Your Honor, my client is stupid, that’s why he committed stupid crimes.

I guess when you’re selecting children for extermination, why not continue on to plagiarism? /s

The only short bus I’m aware of is the old iSA bus.

I remember the CBC wanted to fire Sook Yin Lee over this film; created a fuss here in Canada. Lots of listeners and Celebrities supported her and the CBC relented . Seemed an un-CBC position to take

Gods, where do I start. First of all neuro-diversity is NOT brain damage. Get that right from the start: Brain damage, autism, and mental health are three different things! There are parallels I am sure but they are NOT the same thing. And don’t use words like retard or short-bus, do we really need to have that debate in twentyeffingtwentyeffingone?!
Secondly, people with these conditions (Hey, this is a parallel!) are all way more likely to be a victim of a crime than a perpetrator. By A Huge Margin! This is true for any group (race, economic class, religion…) that is associated with crime, all people you meet are most likely not going to be a criminal.
Thirdly, abusing incompetence defense like this weakens it for these cases where it is really needed to protect people who really need it.
And fourthly we all know this is a bad faith argument. If a lawyer really feels their clients were coerced or driven to criminal behaviour they would sue the guilty party or even cooperate with the DA/prosecution to throw them under the bus to save their client.

Fine. They are mad. Put them in chains, and leave then in Bedlam. That’s a traditional approach to community care that guy will surely respect.
Oh, wait, you can be inconsistent now?

While trumpists are clearly damaged, is that damage in the heart or in the head? I believe it’s the former leading to the later.
In no way are heartless, evil fuckwits a protected class.
