Do you get violent when you have panic attacks? I don't, but I'm wondering how other people experience those and if this person was more or less like mine.


TFA links to another article on the same story that has more details, claiming that the violence was entirely imagined / hypothetical

Thank you for the source - it was surprising to me that the word "violent" was used in the original article but the behavior was not elaborated on in any way.


I'm not sure why people keep asking about this -- it was a transparently desperate ploy by the defendant to portray themselves as victims, and it didn't work.


People kept asking because the original article doesn't address the "violence" accusation at all. It does link to one that does, but while I do think it's reasonable to expect commenters to have read the article, I don't think it's reasonable to expect that they also followed every link and read all of those articles too. The other article link that provides the information came after the thread had already developed quite a bit. It might be helpful to look at the time timestamps on the comments.

It does sound like the violence accusation was a BS excuse, so the original anger is justified. But gathering all information before grabbing a pitchfork is a responsible thing to do.


Thank you! It does seem incredibly outrageous
