Why did the man push the elderly woman off the bus?



 
The man who pushed the elderly woman blog this in defence.

Having psychological problems does not give anyone the license to mistreat others. However, if the seriousness of the person's condition warrant his actions and was proven by a professional that he needs help, maybe the public can be a little more merciful? Though I would definitely alert the police if it happened right in front of me. According to his blog he has apologised, at the very least, he knows and admits he is wrong. I assume that most people would like him to get charged but what I think he needs do is to seek professional help (to prove/unprove that he is guilty/unguilty) and also to prevent him from doing such uncouth actions in the future.

I am actually very keen in understanding what goes through a person's mind with that kind of condition. While I do not know whether the man said it just to defend himself, I remember someone telling me it is hard to discern whether a person is mentally sound. Some observations need to be made and it may also take a while to realise that an individual truly has a mental problem.

Personal Perspective on CHC Fiasco

My personal perspective on the City Harvest Church fiasco: #1. God is omnipresent (present everywhere), omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and God knew about this episode.

It is unavoidable for members of the public with little information about Christianity to judge.  It is also one of my weaknesses to be quick to judge/form negative impression about others, which is unhealthy.; #4. I believe to a certain extent, the message of giving and tithing is relatively strong in City Harvest Church - I may be wrong.  (fyi, I have visited the church a couple of times) My personal belief is that it is important to give to God because God is the creator of everything that exists. He owns everything and we are simply stewards of what we have been entrusted with.  Though I h...

work has been irritatingly routine. day in and out. life is fading it's colour. can't break the chains. have nowhere to run to. stare at the PC screen, move inches on the mouse and hit the keyboard by hundreds each day, fighting hard to keep my eyes half open past lunch hour. life is ticking by fast. save me from this. it's nearing 2 months now. haven't encountered much challenging tasks. it's about a year now. not earning and saving much. it's getting harder to breathe. tell me what to do.

Amazing Race 14

I didn't watch the entire season of The Amazing Race 14 but the finale was truly amazing... It was tear jerking. A few drops of tears managed to make their way out from my eyes. ~ I understood how frustrating it can be when you are the early bird and that you are full of confidence and yet at the very last stage, you had to fall & fail yourself. While watching, i saw Luke, the deaf guy trying endlessly to replace the last 2 surfboards. He started fast, however, almost to the end, he just couldn't pick out the correct surfboards. in the end, the winning team who consisted of Victor & Tammy proceeded to the finishing point while Margie & Luke together with the cheerleaders team were struggling. Margie decided to ask Luke to help Jaime picked out the 1st surfboard. After Jaime was done with the road block, she helped Luke checked all his answers. Jaime & Luke who did the road block was inevitably disappointed with themselves & blaming their respectiv...
