    The guy is bonkers and needs medical intervention before he is fit for trial.

      You’re absolutely right and it’s nice to see correct medical nomenclature here on Lemmy. Unlike some places where someone would say he’s wacko and belongs in the crazy hospital.

          “Looney bin” is for the zany crazies and sits above the crazy hospital in the hierarchy.

          At the bottom is the “nuthouse”, which is reserved for the sickos.
