Mohamed Abdi Mohamed, 32, a Somalia native who reportedly is a U.S. citizen, was charged last week with two felony counts and a hate crime. He pleaded not guilty and is being held on $55,000 bail.
On Friday his public defender raised questions about his mental competency, the Los Angeles Times reported. A mental competency hearing was scheduled for Dec. 14, according to the report.
Mohamed was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2015 and has been treated at mental health facilities in the Seattle area at least twice in recent years, the Times reported, citing medical records seen by reporters.
He reportedly had been in the Los Angeles area for just a few days before the Nov. 23 attack. It is believed that he acted alone and was not connected to a terror group.
A security camera video shows Mohamed trying to run down the two men, ages 37 and 57, leaving the Bais Yehuda Shul, and then reversing and trying to hit them again. The victims wore clothing typically worn by Orthodox Jews on Shabbat. The driver also reportedly shouted anti-Semitic epithets at them. He was stopped when his car ran a stop sign and slammed into another vehicle.
If convicted, Mohamed faces a maximum sentence of eight years and eight months in state prison.
so he had mental capacity to drive from seattle to LA to target Jews on a Friday night leaving shul, but not enough to realize he had committed a hate crime, you got give it soros funded liberals how they ALWAYS excuse Muslim and black behavior, here you have both.
Now they’re saying he’s incompetent my first question is I wonder who the doctor was who diagnosed him maybe it’s his cousin.incredible How they will find anyway to harm people and try to get away with it.
Send him to prison for 15 years! He can be treated by a shrink in prison.
Obviously all those years of treatment have not helped. Will he now be locked away in an appropriate facility for the protection of the public?
Farrukh Afzal of Staten Island, who jumped out of his car to assault a Jewish man in Brooklyn, was also said to be suffering from schizophrenia. It’s so interesting that there are so many Muslims suffering from that disease, and they always seem to target Jewish people.
You would never say this if Obama had a son. You are all Toxic Trumfs. FEH
To #6 -FEH on you, meshuganah!
