Trust Issues
A psychiatrist once found Werner Bock to be paranoid; now he doesn’t trust psychiatrists. But Bock’s defense on charges of failing to properly feed and water his cattle convinced Judge Troy Sweet of New Brunswick, Canada, that the farmer needs a psychiatric evaluation, and Sweet wouldn’t take no for an answer. Bock claimed that he was facing a conspiracy involving veterinarians, police and broadcasters, and that no one was willing to investigate who was killing his cows with lasers and heat rays. Bock’s defiance got him handcuffed and taken out of court — perhaps to have his mental state investigated against his will. (AC/CBC) ...That’ll make him trust the psychiatrist.Original Publication Date: 06 October 2013
