I think that if he'd been found to be suffering PTSD, the answer is NO. Instead hold him to the same standard that we hold those who have suffered a mental breakdown and incarcerate him in a mental health detention facility. But let's be sure it's not just the defense attourney's ploy.

Your last question is somewhat insulting as it presumes we feel the way we do because of where this took place. Sorry but I don't necessarily see anyone using the "ragheads deserve whatever they get" arguement and it is therefore provocative for you to imply it.
