An example of what's wrong with the recent 'Troubled Man' theory of murder innocence.

So when a man kills 22, injures 24 people at Walmart with an AK-47 with large magazines after posting a White-Extremist screed on line and swearing to "Kill Mexicans", the Republicans and other gun huggers say to that he's a 'disturbed individual' who needed some sort of conversion therapy righteousness treatment.....RIGHT?

But then you have this guy, who is obviously mentally ill to the point of HAVING HIS ENTIRE FACE TATTOOED, but he's just a regular double murderer? It's a real shame he hadn't posted his annual Hitler's Birthday greeting card and attendant speech file on 8Chan before he gunned down his victims. Fox News would be trying to get him off with a nice room and a game-playing area.


nothing wrong with this guy!

Heavily-tattooed man convicted in Louisiana double murder

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A heavily-tattooed man, who feared his facial art might affect his chances at a fair trial, has been convicted of two slayings.

News outlets report an East Baton Rouge Parish jury found 29-year-old William Bottoms, Jr. guilty Friday of two counts of second-degree murder in a 2017 double shooting of 29-year-old Muhammad Hussain and 23-year-old Dedrick Williams. St. Helena Parish sheriff’s deputies found the men in a vehicle abandoned in a field.

Bottoms showed no emotion when the verdict was read. Ad hoc Judge Bruce Bennett sentenced him to two consecutive life terms.

Unfortunately, the seemingly non-tattooed Associated Press writer doesn't say why the heavily tattooed man killed. Other than being heavily tatooed, we know zero about it. Perhaps his victims lacked sufficient tattoos?

So it was most likely the tattoos. I mean, process of elimination, amirite?

Did we mention the tattoos? Because they're right there, in color. In the headline. All over. Can't miss 'em. Must be a reason they are there. What could it be? I know. You know. We all know.

Perhaps they'll pass a law that compels a taboo artist to inform clients when they are nearing the "killer" threshold of tattoos. "Well, OK, just this last one, but the next one will probably cause you to murder, OK?"

He is obviously mentally ill and therefore deserves all our compassion, consideration and forgiveness for his crime.

Just like the recent mass killers. Let's pass a Red Flag law and put an end to this.
