A Kentucky man was sentenced to 10 years in prison after he pleaded guilty but mentally ill to stabbing his father during a church service last year. Ethan Buckley, 21, reportedly told officials he was “moved by the message” before stabbing his father in the neck. He was charged with first-degree assault. On August 14, Buckley was arrested after a church pastor told police he was standing at the altar and heard a “weird noise,” according to the Bowling Green Daily News.
According to the paper, the pastor heard Buckley’s father say, “Don’t let him kill me, don’t let him kill me.”
Another pastor heard the disturbance and jumped over chairs to get Buckley off his father. Buckley’s father was taken to the hospital and treated for his injuries. In an affidavit for a search warrant, Bowling Green Police Department detective Mike Nade wrote, “Ethan Buckley stated his father’s time here on earth was up because he had done a lot of good things in life.” Full Story
Shoddy reporting at its best; what was the message that moved this imbecile. The affidavit released clearly indicates that this guy is violent and far from mentally ill but using the mentally ill ploy to land a softer jail term. Overall, this confirms the trend that violence and violent behaviour will continue to rise on a worldwide basis, especially in America, Western Europe and the Middle East. South East Asia, most of Eastern Europe and many parts of South America will start to experience the opposite; the trend is neutral in these areas and could turn negative, implying that once it does, levels of violence will start to drop rapidly.
