It's not nice to laugh at people who have mental problems, so we won't.
We'll just tell you what this nutty Brit did to earn herself a minimum three years in prison before even be "considered for parole..."
1) Joanne Spencer, who is reportedly a "gender reassignment patient," tried to burn down her apartment building after fighting with a neighbor.
2) Spencer answered the door when the police arrived "wearing combat gear and a gas mask and told police
she would not come out and was wearing the mask so she would be killed
by the flames rather than fumes."
3) Firefighters had to taser her to get her to leave.
4) When she returned to her apartment to pick up some of her things, she got spooked (the story isn't very clear here) and jumped into a taxi. She made racist remarks and threatened to go "Rambo" on the taxi driver with her hunting knife if he didn't drive her away, all while swinging the knife at his head.
5) She was taken down via "stun gun" this time.
The judge acknowledged Spencer's rough life but seemed completely oblivious to the fact that this person should be in a mental institution, not a prison. He sentenced her
indefinitely for public protection, and said it would be a minimum of three years before she would be considered for parole. [Yorkshire Evening Post]
What do you think? Was this deserved or do you have a better idea?
