Um, yeah, what's your point?

who told me he had followed the first hearing, told me that the dude seemed to be suffering psychopathic dissociation during the hearing, which to him indicated that he was in control while he acted. The way he was explaining it to me seemed to suggest that he was now suffering the mental stress of having done something he can't possibly cope with. I'm not sure what that means in regards to something you've planned to extensively

.

It means your mentaly "detached" while committing the action. Other way to describe it is he knew what he was doing but was in 3rd person mode. Other way to descrbe it would be (as an example} applying first aid to a badly wounded buddy, bullets flying near you and you go back to your training by remembering the steps to stop a heavy bleeder to prevent using a touriquet. Your aware of what your doing but not having the situational awareness of whats going on

Giving access to buy fire arms in my IMO should allow access to see if you are being seen mental patient. That should cut down on legally buying a weapon and using it if an individual is having a bad "episode"

The implication of him currently suffering said dissociation was that he wasn't at the time of the killing. At least that's the impression I got from what he told me. He also said a psychopath with his education might have been able to fake it well enough, so really, I'm thinking it's anyone's guess.

That's a matter of conscience.

Oh, I'm safe then.

Sorry, I still don't know what you mean. You mentioned HIPA, and now seem to be referring to the civilisation/death penalty debate. I'm just missing how HIPA relates to anything?
