Acquittal! A ‘bad mood’ now a legitimate legal defense for murder

 by Olivia Murray

Last August, law enforcement in the German state of Saarland responded to a call of armed robbery at a local convenience store, where they came upon the suspect, a knife-wielding Turkish teenager who’d just bagged around €600—the teen attacked and during the scuffle, “seized a service weapon from a trainee, and opened fire.” (I would like to know if that “trainee” who couldn’t keep hold of the firearm was a woman.) Ahmet G., the 19-year-old miscreant, hit 34-year-old Police Chief Inspector Simon Bohr with a spray of bullets, and Bohr died at the scene after being shot in “the head, face, neck, shoulder, abdomen, and back.” Bohr also left behind a wife and child(ren).

But, Ahmet was feeling grumpy that day, in a “bad mood” because he was a total loser with a “lack of prospects,” so instead of the death penalty—a life for a life is the only equitable response—or even a life sentence, Ahmet has been acquitted, and will spend just the briefest time in a psychiatric care facility to convalesce.

From Thomas Brooke at Remix News:

The Saarbrücken Regional Court ruled that the 19-year-old gunman, Ahmet Gürsel, bore diminished responsibility at the time of the killing of Police Chief Inspector Simon Bohr, 34, and instead convicted him only of aggravated robbery, ordering his placement in a secure psychiatric facility.

The court found that due to his “anxiety” and mental faculties, “his ability to control his actions” was “significantly impaired,” but meanwhile, they jail native Germans who post online about the migrant problem.

So apparently being too low-IQ and stressed is a legitimate defense for criminal behavior, which seems to be a valid defense for everyone except…white people. Sure this was Germany, but we see it in the U.S. all the time; we all know there’s a different justice system for non-whites, who are all too often held to different standards, recipients of “reparative” (in)justice. (For a brief and recent list of examples, see a related blog on that here.)

A tiered justice system is no justice system at all.
