Sounds like dude has some stuff to work out mentally
He has autism. It affects the brain in very specific ways for each individual, but in general Executive function is the first thing to go when in stressful situations. You know, emotional regulation and self control? And I also guarantee that the cops and guards were treating him like shit. They LOVE picking on disabled people. I have no doubt most of the charges and incidents were exacerbated by the people in charge.
The dude committed crimes while on bail. Autism doesn't excuse that, and even if it did, it's still a problem that needs to be dealt with.
Nothing is being trumped up, here. The kid is just brazen about this.
Ah so he's a Lemmy user.
I get that, have it as well. Been arrested for it as well.
This kid wasn't arrested for having autism. It was for brazenly commiting crimes, and even when he was released on bail, he committed even more crimes in police protection.
This is not some poor autistic kid that's getting picked on by cops, he's a highly capable hacker expressing a explicit intent to continue to break the law and cause harm to both individuals and corporations.
Never said he was getting picked by cops on or arrested for having autism.
He is a hacker and a thief that has a lot of work to do psychologically
Well, sure, but does that mean he should get a life sentence?
No. But you also can't say I'm going to go straight back to commitmenting the exact same crime asap
He already did it again, didn't realize this was the one who did it again while on bail.
These sorts of sentences aren't really "life", they're "life until you're cured."
ez more vaccines
If vaccines can cause autism, then if you use enough vaccines you can reverse it, right? /s
Your wording is wrong. It's a medical life sentence. It would be cleared immediately on doctor approval.
It's a mental health "life", not a prison life.
It's only life if doctors do not approve of their release due to potential danger. No sentence has been given to them yet.
They weren't even tried yet this is all because of how they reacted while being detained
Chill man. Will do you some good.
You're literally saying it's okay they put this kid away for life because he hacked Grand theft Auto and you're telling me to chill?
Did you read the article?
In my state, you damn sure can get a life sentence for child molestation and rape
Or the people handling him don't understand autism?
That's probably true for some of if not most of them
