Maybe they just didn’t believe his version of the story and thought it a post hoc rationalisation?

Bunitonito@lemmy.world 14 hours agoI actually had to see for myself if this was for real, and apparently he drove his car through his neighbor’s fence in order to access (and subsequently destroy) the back door. I’m not sure how I’d feel about that on a random Tuesday lol.
But he was also charged with burglary on top of other things and I kinda feel that it’d be impossible to show he had any criminal intent, given that he was tripping balls to the point of hallucinating a fire

Well that much property damage and I’d be pretty pissed in the moment as well. Hard to say for sure, still I’d he honestly thought my dog was going to die and did all that, still shows that deep down they are a good person regardless of their actions turned out to be a mess.

Yeah I’m in a similar spot, I’d be pissed, but honestly, that wouldn’t be too bad of a repair cost. Exterior doors are like $200-400 for the builder grade ones it almost definitely was, and the fence would be similar cost. If it were me I’d want to drop the charges and just settle for a check for the repair cost and a good apology for going too hard on the acid

I’m not even sure I’d be mad actually. I mean, I’d want the guy to pay for it, but assuming he’s just high as balls and not an actual psycho I’d give him a chance to fix his fuckup.
