The suspect’s wife said he hadn’t slept in three days. So we presumed his mental health was affected.

I’ve experienced bouts of being awake for more than 36 hours (I think there’s even a time I’ve been awake for 72 hours–my memory of that time is really fuzzy), and I can attest that at such times I’m irritable and yet slow to react at the same time. It’s a really strange state of mind to be in.

I am guessing, just out of my ass, that some kind of mania (a manic episode) is involved.

Regardless, I hope this incident leads to the man getting the help he needs.

EDIT:

Shit, kulang pa ako sa gising. Damn. I’m sorry. Pagkakaintindi ko kanina, nabaril lang.
