On what charges this time?
Suspect it is related to the youtube video in which he tore out pages of the bible.
I wonder whats with him. It would be a shame if he wastes his obvious gifts and abilities and uses them to do such nonsense. Properly channelled this person can make positive contributions to society. He can articulate and probably can think out of the box too.

He does have some sort of a complex where attention is the fuel. He can't help himself. He intentionally pushes the boundaries knowing that it attracts consequences and therefore attention. The challenge for the authorities is to get him to accept some sort of treatment whether counselling or seeing a shrink but he is not keen. They also don't want to keep prosecuting him when there are real criminals out there. It looks like a long drawn game.
Maybe. Just maybe, there really is something looney about this amos.
Poor Madam Toh.
He's a maverick who refuses to comply to conformity and regimented environment in this small island.
Hypothetically assuming Amos is not looney and has foresight better than anyone on this island. If he is really that intelligent; he may actually been planning all this antics to veer towards his objective. That is to drive everyone crazy.
It could be a long drawn game as pointed by Scroobal if the government chose to prosecute him by taking him through the process. To Amos, its only his freedom at stake, he has all the time to challenge the system and has no liabilities nor commitment, to his parents, a big financial and mental drain . To the state, a major drain in resources and time involving multiple agencies to prove that Amos is mentality unsound and apply the appropriate judgement.
Think about it, it is possible.
Maybe Amos is the megalomaniac he described Chee as. Takes one to know another.

Clearly he is intelligent. He was trained to be a child actor when he was a toddler by his mum. My sense is that he cannot differentiate between the two. Because of the support and attention from those seeking greater freedom and a more liberal society, he probably thinks he is on the right path. Its obvious he is US centric and probably using it as the baseline. After what he went thru via the courts, jail and IMH and he is behaving exactly the same shows that there is a deeper issue.
Good luck to the authorities and our taxes.
