IMO...Bales has demonstrated a streak of violence before the service.....again IMO his defense is using the PDST as a veil to hide his violent tendencies....which discredit those really affected by it....which does a dis service to all....
ya know Joe..it is kind of like in the insurance business...they'd prefer a straight out death claim...a one time payment as opposed to the cost of a lifetime of treatment...it is a lot cheaper...
