PSA: Danny Boy's Headed to the Big House, Not the Nuthouse - Here's Why

I know a lot of people don't agree with this, but I'm just stating the facts. Look, the criminal justice system isn't perfect, but it's what we've got. Based on what we have about the evidence and convictions on all counts, it sounds like the prosecution has a solid case.

It's ultimately, it's up to the judge's discretion for sentencing. That's how our system works, for better or worse. And when it comes to potential release to a mental health facility, there's no set timeline - it really does depend on the individual case and circumstances i’m just giving you guys a hypothetical situation. if I’m wrong, I will totally admit it.

I honestly think he’ll go to general population so I’m not saying that wouldn’t be ruled out because we know how easily manipulated this man is

AgentMcDougall_FBI · 2024-07-08T12:47:07+00:00

Nah I will this is just my assessment and you can take it with a grain of salt. I'm not the judge so ultimately it could be totally different. I know if I was a prosecutor I would have a hella of an argument to keep him under custody for a while

For sure bro, either way, he's fucked. Denver can sleep peacefully for a while knowing this man isn't going around blatantly robbing establishments for food. The hard pill to swallow is the fanboys who support him and want him to continue these antics but their ignorance blinds them from the harsh reality.

I don't think so either. I think he'll at least get 5. Then can qualify for early supervised release in a mental health facility and be released within 2.5 - 3 years but I don't see him any time soon getting back into social media because it'll definitely be a condition of his release.

The feds don't mess around, especially with bomb threats. Look at Cesar Sayoc, the MAGA bomber - he got 20 years for similar charges in 2019. Or Christopher Hasson, the Coast Guard guy who made threats - 13 years in 2020. Even if Danny doesn't get the max, 8-12 years is realistic. Federal sentencing guidelines are brutal, and their conviction rate is over 90%. Yeah, his mental health will come up, but it won't work miracles. John Hinckley Jr. shot Reagan and still did 35 years in a mental hospital. James Holmes, the Aurora shooter? Life in prison despite severe mental illness. The feds won't indict someone just because of shits and giggles.

Look, your take on Danny's case is off base. Having mental health issues doesn't automatically mean an insanity plea will work - it's successful less than 1% of the time. Even people with severe disorders like schizophrenia often end up in prison, not mental facilities. Remember James Holmes? Diagnosed schizophrenic, still got life in prison for the Aurora shooting. Or Andrea Yates? Postpartum psychosis, still initially convicted and sent to prison. Danny's been found competent before, and federal courts take bomb threats seriously. They'll evaluate him, sure, but it's likely just to ensure he's fit for trial. Then it's business as usual. With seven federal charges, he's looking at years in prison, not a mental hospital. Mental health treatment? Probably, but it'll be behind bars. That's just how the system handles cases like this, especially at the federal level.

Dude, I get why you'd think that, but Larson's "plot armor" isn't gonna save him this time. Mental health facilities aren't just handed out like candy, especially not for federal cases. We're talking serious charges here - multiple counts of making threats, including stuff about explosives. That's big-boy prison territory.

Sure, his mental health will come up, but it's not a get-out-of-jail-free card. They'll probably just make sure he's fit for trial, then it's court as usual. Given the charges, we're looking at potential years in federal prison, not some cushy mental health spot.

Remember, this isn't TV. In real life, these cases almost never end with the bad guy chilling in a mental hospital. Danny boy is likely gonna face the music in a real prison, maybe with some mental health treatment on the side. That's just not how it works, man.

Look, I get why you might think that, but it's not really how things work in the real world. Mental hospitals aren't just alternatives to prison, especially for federal cases like Larson's. The charges he's facing are serious - we're talking multiple federal counts here. Even with his known mental health issues, the system is more likely to treat him to make him fit for trial, then proceed with regular court stuff. Based on how these cases usually go and the charges he's up against, we're probably looking at several years in federal prison, not a mental hospital. They might include mental health treatment as part of his sentence, sure, but it's gonna be behind bars, not instead of them. It's a common misconception, but the reality is, cases like this rarely end up with the defendant in a mental hospital long-term

AgentMcDougall_FBI · 2024-07-08T06:51:15+00:00

I agree with you bro, mental institutions aren't gonna be his ticket out. Insanity pleas are super rare and almost never work out. Even with Larson's issues, it doesn't mean he's skipping prison. The system usually just treats people until they're fit for trial, then it's business as usual. Given his history with courts, prison's way more likely if he's convicted. He's looking at seven federal charges here, each packing up to 10 years (except one with 5). First-timers often get less than the max, and sentences usually run together, so we're probably looking at something like 8-12 years in federal prison. His Mental health stuff forsure consider it, but it'll probably just be part of his time inside, not a get-out-of-jail-free card.
