Feds to Capitol rioter asking to be released due to ‘back pain’: You had no problem swinging that...

“Mr. Chrestman was receiving disability and [being] treated by the Veterans’ Administration,” attorney Peter Cooper wrote. “His current detention status places him in danger of losing those significant benefits.” But a response filed by DOJ prosecutors contends that Chrestman’s alleged back issues didn’t stop him from wielding the axe handle he swung at police at the Capitol.
“Interestingly, the defendant’s back pain did not prevent him from storming the United States Capitol while armed with an axe handle, threatening law enforcement officers, and attempting to prevent Congressional proceedings, among other conduct,” Justice Department lawyers wrote, adding that he took an “active role in leading the co-defendants in his conspiracy and the crowd writ large in the attack on the Capitol.”

A phenomenal, compassionate piece of reporting from @jessicaschulb - we believe this is the most extensive interview ever done with an American school shooter, but it's so much more than that:
Kip Kinkel Is Ready To Speak
huffpost.com
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/kip-kinkel-is-ready-to-speak_n_60abd623e4b0a2568315c62d
Snip
Kinkel spent the next 18 months in solitary confinement awaiting trial, first in a juvenile detention center and then, after his 16th birthday, in adult county jail. He was left to deal with his overwhelming sense of guilt, loss and self-loathing mostly in isolation. Solitary confinement is widely recognized as a form of torture, and for Kinkel, it made the symptoms of his illness all-consuming.
When one of his teeth started protruding outward, the result of not having his retainer in jail, Kinkel believed his crooked tooth was being used as an antennae for the chip in his brain. When he found out he was going to have an MRI, he was relieved that everyone would finally see the chip and realize the government and Disney were to blame. At times he could no longer tell where his body ended and the walls of the prison began.
During this time, two boys killed 13 people at Columbine High School in Colorado before killing themselves. Kinkel sobbed when he found out, thinking he might be personally responsible for inspiring the massacre. The voices told him that it was his fault and that he should hang himself. He spent that night punching himself in the head, trying to force the voices out.
Kinkel was examined by multiple doctors who concluded his symptoms were consistent with paranoid schizophrenia, although some said a final diagnosis should wait until he was older.

Rocha "decided to take her graduation pictures in the farm fields where she worked with her parents since she was in high school," she told ABC San Diego.
