Kuachua Brillion Xiong was sentenced to two years in prison after he was caught driving to Washington, D.C., with a carload of firearms and a "hit list" that included the president.
Is a low IQ correlated to a person’s propensity to commit violent acts? As a person with low IQ, I don’t feel like prison is either less of a deterent from committing crimes, or less likely to be a reforming experience, but I’ve never been to prison and recognize that my impressions would only be an anecdote and not something to draw conclusion from.
I honestly do not know how IQ and the ability to judge the future outcomes of ones actions tie together.
I do know that confessing to crimes, and then saying that he’ll try to commit those same offences upon release is not a very sensible idea if he values his freedom from prison. On the otherhand perhaps the guy thinks his being a martyr for the cause and his openness will encourage others, time will tell.
