1. *“Due to acute alcohol intoxication accompanied by delirium, he was in a severely altered state of consciousness with significant cognitive impairment and impaired judgement; he was in a state of pathological intoxication in which he was unable to properly understand the meaning and impact of his own actions,” Krieger’s defense attorney Takashi Takano said in his closing statement Monday.* 

   *Krieger, addressing the court, said his brain injury and pelvic floor dysfunction led him to a “path of extreme alcohol consumption.” Doctors have “never found the source” or offered him relief, he said.*

   But he’s in the service and stationed abroad. Bullshit. Do your time asshole.

2. Dude didn’t even bother to say sorry to the victims.

3. Colonials get what they deserve

4. No sympathy here

5. > *”Krieger has pleaded not guilty, explaining that he could not be held responsible for his actions because he suffers from a pre-existing brain injury and was severely intoxicated at the time.*

   > *All five people were injured, the most severely a man, 33 at the time, with multiple sprained vertebrae and a woman, 58 at the time, with a broken upper jaw, broken nasal bone and other facial injuries.”*

   Imagine enjoying your day off at the beach and then suddenly out of nowhere some drunken foreigner tackles you running full speed. You have serious injuries that stick with you for a lifetime and the guy pleads ‘not guilty.’

   Yea, no – fuck this guy Krieger. A pre-existing brain injury is not an excuse, mf is not fit to serve in the military and is a threat to any society.
