@_HJMCFSU You don’t kill someone whose judgement is affected by disease. Punishment is only for things we’re responsible for. The mentally sick who are harmful to others are simply kept away and rehabilitated/treated

ON THE NEED FOR FORENSIC PSYCHIATRISTS
Context - Okello case
—————
“Dear Spire, Post for me this concern why Specialists are badly needed in Uganda.
Underestimated, Mental Crisis is increasing each day that dawns in Uganda,
This case highlights what mental crisis can bring forth!
C.O.O, Man [Okello] who committed Quadrupple murder on 4 kindergarten children in Ggaba; with a known history of psychiatric illness and sickle cell disease presents after a tragic violent incident involving multiple victims. On assessment, his MSE is intact, cognition is preserved, and Folstein score is normal.
Yet clinicians note something unsettling during Court proceedings; flat affect, emotional incongruence, and minimal remorse.
The challenge emerges (asserted by Psychiatrist): Can a normal mental state examination post-event truly rule out a transient psychotic or neurocognitive storm on the day of event?
In conditions like Sickle Cell Disease, silent cerebral infarcts may disrupt frontal lobe function, altering judgment and emotional regulation without obvious bedside deficits.
Standard tools like the Folstein Mini-Mental State Examination assess present cognition not mental state at the material time of an offence.
This leaves a critical forensic gap.
The real question becomes not “Is he sane now?”
but “What was his mental state when the act occurred?”
This is why forensic psychiatry is essential not optional in reconstructing criminal responsibility in complex neuropsychiatric cases.
Without it, courts risk equating calm presentation with criminal intent, or missing transient pathological states entirely.
The biggest gap in cases like this is not the crime itself, but is the lack of forensic psychiatry specialists to reconstruct mental state at the time of the offence.”

@ArsenalNews_Hub Does Xavi know that he was visited by Arsenal players?
English

Arsenal players based in London paid a visit to Xavi Simons, showing respect and support despite being city rivals. ⚽️
Even with the intensity of competition on the pitch, moments like this prove that humanity comes first off the pitch. It’s a powerful reminder that football is more than just rivalry—it’s about unity, respect, and standing by each other in difficult times.
This is the true definition of humility coming first. 💙*****
