Reply to comment by [deleted] in Judge revokes bond for woman accused of desecrating Houston synagogue Congregation Emanu El by zsreport

> Law was out of jail on bond when she allegedly returned to the South Houston synagogue last Friday – the same day she missed a scheduled court appearance related to the Jan. 14 incident – according to the DA's office.

She was out on one and committed a new crime and missed her court hearing. Things you shouldn’t do when on bail.

Anti-semitism happens to not be an accepted mental illness, as delusional and irrational as it is.

People break their bond requirements hourly, doesn't by itself suggest mental deficiency.

She fell asleep because she was drunk the first time, and the article doesn't make it clear if she realized that people would find it threatening when she came back. Presumably the competency check is for the court to determine how likely it is that she didn't understand that this would violate her bail (and that it was definitely antagonistic) or if she really isn't competent enough to be fully blamed for her bad acts. (Racists who are sick deserve medical treatment too)

She does sound like someone who would buy into right-wing ideology.

Sure but mental illness may be a mitigating factor at sentencing with less jail/prison time with mandated therapy, but in the legal system being crazy and being found not guilty due to insanity, the latter meaning you don't know right from wrong. So you can kill, skin, and eat 20 people. If you try to hide evidence of your crime for example, you might be bat shit crazy, but you will be found guilty, because hiding evidence means you knew it was wrong.
