| 释义 |
On July 31, 2008, at the Hall of Justice in San Francisco, state judge Carol Yaggy ruled Popal not guilty by reason of insanity of the attempted murder charges and committed him to a state psychiatric facility. According to the San Francisco Public Defender's Office, Popal was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and had a history of severe mental illness. He had been involuntarily committed for mental treatment twice within the six months before the attacks.[1] VictimsThe first person to be attacked, Stephen J. Wilson, 54, was struck in Fremont, California, and died at 11:50 am. Another victim was hospitalized in critical condition. Popal struck two men at the intersection of Sutter and Steiner Streets in San Francisco. He passed through the intersection again in an attempt to hit the men a second time—and then a third time—before moving on. A witness said he saw one victim's body "thrown 25 feet."{{cn|date=October 2015}} Multiple witnesses and victims said that the driver appeared to be aiming for people, intentionally hitting them. Other victims included Vera Jenkins, 40; Pedro Aglugov, 70; Leon Stevens, 56; and Susan Rajic, 43.[2][3] One police officer was slightly injured when Popal was apprehended. ReactionsCalifornia Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger called Popal's actions "malicious and hateful". He commended authorities and offered his condolences to the victims and their families. He further said that "acts of hate such as this will not be tolerated in California".{{cn|date=October 2015}} In a column read on air by Rush Limbaugh, Debbie Schlussel did not believe his family's explanation that he was upset over a stressful arranged Muslim marriage and declared it was the third incident of "islamic terrorism by auto" that year.[4] She compared it to the 2006 UNC SUV attack and to a Palestinian Muslim, Ali R. Warrayat, who drove his car into a Home Depot in Arizona.{{cn|date=October 2015}} See also
