So when they are having a mental freakout they get charged with something that is hard for the body to control in said situation.

I had a 4cm wide and 2cm long gash on the back of my head. The ambulance arrived within 10 minutes, I then had to be transferred onto a boat ambulance to get to the mainland, then onto another ambulance to get to the hospital. I had CT scans, my head was glued shut, I was given pain relief and even given a room to sleep in until the boats started again for me to get home. All I had to pay for was the taxi back to the dock.

I think its also because hes a trained soldier. They say all the time a well-trained person in anything will react automatically, especially in combat. He believed himself in combat, so as his mom said, he could come up swinging and fighting, which would have made it worse. They had to go slow and be respectful. He himself is a loaded gun, his body able to do quite a bit of damage, and in a seizure state you dont really respond to pain the same, so he could have literally hulked out, which again, would have made it much worse.. It is sad tho, and sad that hes on medicine and its clearly not very effective.
