Pretty safe to say he's had a life changing experience.
Will reserve judgement on whether he will actually make a positive change until a later date.

He will make no changes in his life path. Why? Every politician has told him HE IS A VICTIM. He most likely had that attitude before this and it now has been validated by the press and politicians. Now he will Just be a jack wad in a wheelchair.

We don't know that. I mean maybe he thought the police had already been defunded and had no remaining authority. He probably had a good reason for committing a domestic assault as well.

Clearly they need a team of qualified social workers to really get to the root of their frustration -talk it all out - heal the wounds- make everyone feel better.......

The Mood of the Courts today is that human life has a greater value than “mere property.” I and virtually all other past and present cops I know share that belief. It’s why you haven’t been shot down in the streets yet as you would have been by now in so many other countries. But, understand this:

When you start attacking homes – occupied dwellings – the rules change. Arson of occupied dwellings is what the law calls a “heinous felony against the person,” and ordinary citizens are allowed to shoot you to stop you from doing it. You’ve gotten away with breaking into stores that were closed for the safety of their employees and customers, but if you try to do the same to people’s homes, that’s “violent and tumultuous entry of occupied dwellings.” It’s “home invasion.” And when you start doing that, the people who live there are authorized by the law to shoot you to death in defense of themselves and other innocent parties.

We can hope I suppose, I doubt it would hold in our liberal courts.
