15 years of probation after the sentence as well. Seems kinda light considering he beat the shit out of her. Reading the article, I think the leniency towards the autistic is being abused by people that just don't wanna follow any rules. For the student, apparently some of his "triggers" were being told no, being corrected, and having electronics taken. So basically people can claim to be unteachable and get whatever they want because they have autism. Think it speaks to how far society has fallen away from accountability for one's own actions.

Has anyone on death row tried to identify as a critically endangered species?

 

[Blayt7hh]

Eeeeeh that a tough one. If he really is autistic there probably is truth in what they’re saying. Hard to know without really knowing the case

 

[traditionally_irreverent]

Should be locked up for attempted murder.

animal crossing really brings out the worst in people.

I have an Autistic nephew. He has seen incredible acts of violence. Not everyone should be in school. Your rights do not supersede others. If you are violent, you need to be removed from mainstream.

 

[HockeyBjj]

I'm surprised he got 5 years prison and not just mandatory mental health stay

Glad they recognized him as a violent threat to others. That video is brutal

My sister was a teachers aide and she had pads and a blocker for dealing with autistic kids. Then they took those things away because they “stigmatized autistic kids and made them look dangerous.” After that, she started coming home with black eyes and bruises and had to quit the job.

People with no concept of reality often make decisions for front line workers and they don’t help anyone.

If you are potentially violent there needs to be special protocols and separate schools designed for that.

They sentenced an autistic kid as an adult? lol America at its finest.

Kid is plainly a brutal threat. The solution isn't obvious for people like this.

How is that light? 5 years in jail then 15 years probation. Seems pretty correct or even a bit harsh to me.

There are plenty of everyday fights on the street where they do much more damage than this.

I mean 17 - almost an adult. I don't buy the autistic excuse. You can say the majority of people that do violent crimes have some kind of mental condition. That doesn't excuse it.

He was 17 at the time of the assault, 18 by the time of the trial.

At 6'6" and 270 lbs. he is a threat to even some grown men.

After watching his body language, I can believe that he has disabilities. That doesn’t make him not dangerous, but maybe prison isn’t the best place for him.

 

[koquerelle]

He should be in a place where he can get help. Prison isn't it. The system failed him and the victim.

indeed he is. they took his nintendo away and now we've gotta worry about him stealing our women.

 

[Deleted member 504083]

The chances of this guy committing more violent crimes in the future far outweighs him actually turning into a well adjusted human being.

People like this aren't worth the risk and don't deserve another chance

 

[Scerpi]

His mom has an excuse ready for almost situation in which he acts violent. She sounds like an enabler.

And even if what she is saying is true, he was time bomb waiting to go off. The system failed that woman more than anything. She should be suing everyone under the sun who allowed him to attend public school without special precautions.

Lucky he didn't kill anyone else before this.

Some?

Yep if he could be triggered just by people saying 'no' to him then it was entirely inappropriate to have him in mainstream education .

 

[Mr Holmes]

Some?

Not sherdoggers.

 

[TestosterOWN]

wow. I actually shocked he got prison time.
