      I wish it was. It would own so much. Maybe we should be one of those people who believe in american propaganda about Stalin and still support him, but instead we believe in american propaganda about Havana Syndrome being real and still support Cuba

      But there are absolutely cases, especially those in Cuba that started the whole thing, where those folks experienced very real physical damage that can't just be made up in their heads, and they of course had no prior knowledge of such attacks existing before experiencing them themselves.

      :so-true: :fidel-cool:

    The best part about this episode?

    The defendant killed someone, blames Havana Syndrome for making him do it and the prosecutor doesn't do the one thing that would slam dunk the case

    He doesn't even try to argue that Havana Syndrome isn't real or doesn't make you a homicidal maniac

    His argument, if I recall correctly, is basically that he could have gotten help if it was so bad and that failing to do so means he is responsible for killing someone

    Which, holy shit, even for the Liberal Reactionary Hogpit that is Law and Order, is something else entirely

      when I was around 13 or so I watched a ton of csi. the episode that convinced me that it was complete trash involves the investigation of a fatal hunting accident.

      because the victim filed for a hefty life insurance policy recently, the cops are motivated to find the perpetrator.

      instead, they discover that the victim actually killed himself to get his wife and unborn child the insurance payout. now, what do the cops do? do they toss the suicide weapon back in the SWAMP, dust off their hands and say "welp it was definitely an accident and this dudes family deserves the payout?"

      rofl no this is American TV dumbass. they basically tell the wife LOL good luck being a jobless single mom, we told the insurance company that he suicided so you get nothing.

      I'm curious now, do people who commit murder while suffering from eg schizophrenia not get effectively imprisoned in mental hospitals anyway?
