[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have posted defending this guy because he seems to me to be mentally ill. I am not defending what he did at all. But I am surprised at the level of vitriol coming out about him. There has been nothing else reported about any previous malicious acts. PPs who are skewering this guy are the ones telling the defenders to leave the conversation, questioning the defenders' morals, and making immature insults (his hair dye or frog face). No defender has done any of that. Makes me question their motives just like I question the wapo article's motive. I bet this guy pissed a lot of people off and now they are all out to get him. Based on the current information that's been reported, I think he deserves to be punished but not pilloried. [/quote]

I've posted that I think there may be mental illness or alcoholism at the heart of this, but it's not that difficult to understand why people are upset by the man's actions.  The fact that he's a high-level government official make it more alarming and that's the reason it was worth a story in the WaPo.  Their motive is their purpose: news.[/quote]

Maybe white people who commit crimes are just sociopaths or just people who have committed crimes... why do we need to have an excuse for their behavior like mental illness. Perhaps he just did something stupid and got caught. It's funny to me how out of the way people are going trying to make up reasons why he may have done this. [/quote]

I thought sociopathy was a mental illness.  But I may be wrong.[/quote]

Well, it is in that antisocial personality disorder is in the dsm. However personality disorders are generally not thought of like non personality disorder mental illnesses when people talk about culpability. [/quote]
