I believe that it absolutely represents your true feelings and emotions.............temporary insanity is just a legal BS defense that sometimes works.

Brian, I may have spent more time around people with lack of self control... as a prison guard....and blacks calling each other the same names for which any other color calling them that is viewed as prima facia evidence of larger deeper things...

I'm fairly convinced that the comparison is not appropriate. We're not discussing people who, on a routine basis, behave without self-control. That's another discussion.

We're referring to a person who typically exhibits maximum self-control to exist peacefully in society. When the person loses his self-control, for whatever reason, the true markings of the individual become immediately known.

Those people who "lose it" and murder another person in the heat of rage most definitely have those feelings deep within them. It might take a special situation to bring them out, but the "temporary insanity" defense is simply BS. It is a "temporary lack of self-control"...............and if that bodes well for a not-guilty plea with a jury, the attorney has done his job. I'd hang that jury on not-guilty.............be sure of it.

Dr. Brian, I think you are overlooking the multiplicative effects of some brain chemicals... there is such a thing as ' tipping point' where they interact and go overboard having nothing to do with their normal thinking process..... which for the record I do not consider all that ' logical' in the first place.... we are way more influenced by internal chemicals and irrational thoughts than we want to admit...

Do you honestly believe "brain chemicals" caused Mr. Richards to behave in said fashion, and that you can forgive his racist comments as being not typical of the individual?

I have seen so much racism amongst blacks Against other blacks due to just small variances in skin color that I see the word differently than many....

Unless you wish to parse "skin color", that is not racism, by definition.

I have seen discrimination amongst blacks due to skin color way more than I have seen it practiced by any other group against blacks... at first it is surprising since it is not the common view or discussed openly often...

I agree that it is not the common view.


There probably is a good reason for that.
