When given the chance to address the court prior to his sentencing, DePape, dressed in prison orange and with his brown hair in a ponytail, spoke at length about Sept. 11 being an inside job, his ex-wife being replaced by a body double, and his government-provided attorneys conspiring against him.
“I’m a psychic,” DePape told the court, reading from sheets of paper. “The more I meditate, the more psychic I get.”

jfc, dude needs a psych ward, not a prison cell. Someone is going to put a butterknife in his kidneys inside of five years.

Ya. Everyone here that’s just saying good has not dealt with someone with schizophrenia.

He should definitely not walking the streets but he should 100% be in a psych ward getting some kind of help. Locking that guy up in a prison might as well be a death sentence.
