By Jonah Spangenthal-Lee January 20, 2010

The West Seattle Blog say Ryan Joshua Cox—the suspect in a series of anti-gay vandalism incidents in West Seattle—has been found incompetent to stand trial and will be sent to Western State Hospital.


According to WSB, when Judge Edsonya Charles asked Cox why he thought he was in court, Cox replied:



Cox: “I was being harassed by my relatives … to strike back at them (I did) anti-gay graffiti.”


Judge Edsonya Charles: “How does that strike back at them?”


Cox: “(unintelligible) The goal of the cult is to force me to commit suicide or turn gay, so I strike back by discriminating against all gay people.”
