This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sure, if you can make the case that you were not in your right mind when you committed a crime and therefore unable to grasp what you were doing (criminal responsibility or Schuldunfähigkeit in German), you cannot be punished. If the court also finds that you were only temporarily in a condition that made you commit the crime but will most likely not do anything like it again and are not a danger to others? You may go neither to prison nor to a mental institution.
That's a very interesting way of handling the situation. Honestly think that a more appropriate way of handling/framing the case.
