Brian Mitchell's Father a Blathering Retard

<i>Brian David Mitchell deserves leniency from the courts for treating Elizabeth Smart well during her nine months in captivity, following her abduction at knife point from her bedroom last summer, Mitchell's 79-year-old father said Monday.</i>

Yes, a father sticking up for his son. Who's surprised? Thankfully, we don't handle judgement this way, so that fucking loser nutjob might get something that somewhat resembles what he deserves.

<i>"They say, 'Oh, she could be terribly traumatized,' " Shirl Mitchell said. "I didn't see any evidence of that."</i>

Well, I'm glad you're the fucking expert. Yes, I'm sure that being abducted at knifepoint from the one place you probably felt safest and being forced to live with strange people for nine months, without being able to talk in public, <b>as a fourteen year old girl</b>, is probably not traumatic at all. I'm glad we have <b>the father of the perpetrator</b> to shower us with such insight.

<i>His son, he said, kidnapped the teenager because he was lonely, but also to get attention "at any cost."</i>

It's okay then, right?

Is there any reason we get stories from these obviously stupidly biased idiots? Do they really need something to write about <b>that bad</b>? We've got so much other shit going on, including the Elizabeth Smart case, and I just read a story that could be headlined "Brian Mitchell's Dad Acts Like One Expects A Dad To Act"? I want my three minutes back!

We have a couple sayings at work that may help you understand this situation ... it may be helpful to bear in mind that there is usually a strong genetic component to many major mental illnesses.
