Free to Smash Skulls, with an IQ of 49 By Charles Taylor

     This happened in the US, not in the UK as one would have expected. In a nutshell, a person of a certain type, smashes a woman with a steel pole, but is not prosecuted because he has an IQ of only 49!

“A St. Louis woman feels like the judicial system failed her, after she said her teenage neighbor attacked her and walked away free. Alicia Clarke said exactly a week ago she went for a quick run outside her south city home. When she came back, she noticed her shoes had been moved to a different spot and her cell phone was gone. From there, she used Find My iPhone to search for it. The location said it was on her property grid. She used her work phone to call it. "I open my back door to call it and I hear it in my neighbor's backyard behind me," Clarke said. Clarke said she hopped the fence to get it and jumped back over to her yard. Another neighbor yelled out to her and said, "Hey, I told him, 'I know you did this and I’m calling the police!'" Clarke said that's when the 6-foot teen jumped the fence and tackled her. "He knocked me down, pulling my hair, kicking," she recalled. Before he ran off, she said he grabbed her personal cell phone again. She used her work phone to call police. "I am on the phone with St. Louis police dispatch, making my way to my backdoor, when he comes back with a weapon. He is on top of me. There was blood everywhere. I was literally fighting for my life at that point," she told 5 On Your Side. Clarke said as he was on her back, he stabbed her in the head and face with a metal rod. She was able to get the weapon out of his hand and ran inside. He ran away again, taking her second cell phone this time. Police arrested the teen on charges of first-degree robbery, second-degree burglary and third-degree assault. Clarke thought the fight was over. But when she went to juvenile court a few days later, she learned his case was dismissed. "The most hurtful thing of all of this, is the dropped charges. That was much more hurtful than the physical assault," Clarke said. A juvenile court official said a staff attorney dropped the case before even going to the judge. The courts weren't able to comment specifically on this incident, since it involves a juvenile. Clarke said she was told her accused attacker was found incompetent to aid in his own defense because he has an IQ of 49.”

     An IQ of 49? Surely someone like that would not be able to even perform basic tasks, such as bashing heads in with poles? This is surely a great mystery of the universe. Yes, in our wonderful diverse enriched culture, the IQ challenged are free to roam the land smashing people with poles, but are not regarded as agents. So, why should they be roaming the lands in the first place if they lack agency? If rocks suddenly started bashing people, rocks would be restrained.
