Hey, at least he didn't pull a John Hinckley Jr. on anyone... no wait, he did.

That's a hard sell in any courtroom.
Besides, multiple attempts would prove that he was in possession of his full faculties.
I doubt mithras will make it too a courtroom.
People can just....disappear.
Voluntarily or forced.
Were the FSR actually allowed to move around armed? They are, after all, outside of their borders and not in a theatre of war.That had resulted in a shoving match and the Police Department in the ticklish position of having to keep the two heavily armed groups separated.

If they really feard for their safety, a few armed guards/guides/nannies would be supplied by the US forces.
Them going around armed, unless specifically permitted by local military command and civilian leadership is kind of insulting and provocative, and maybe downright illegal.
The shoving match could have easily had happened even if the FSR team was unarmed but most likely they had small arms for personal protection until other arrangements could be made.Were the FSR actually allowed to move around armed?

Problem is, again, US is insanely insecure here, with everything that's been happening to them. Hell, they were late to rescue their citizens, and their inital response was a couple DDs. So being shown up by their now hated rivals, much less a unit that literally is their rival in all but name?The 82nd should realize that many of the FRS team have served in the recent Korean Conflict and they have nothing to prove to anyone and there still could be older NCOs who were involved with the European War.
The US is not as secure of itself as IOTL and, more importantly, the Germans are already there, without a 'by your leave', ostentively on a humanitarian mission and, most importantly, before somebody knew they were coming and somebody else with enough authority could reject them.I just looked up how many countries and organizations offered help of any kind after a certain Hurricane struck New Orleans and the surrounding areas... and how much was actually accepted. There were planes full of urgently needed stuff and staff that were not allowed into US airspace.
The first responders and the only one being able to professionally help in such a crisis being Germans in such a scenario... let's see where Peabody is leading us on.
They have to worry about looters and possibly rampaging mobs in a disaster scenario. Now that the US Army and Navy have shown up, I would expect them to provide armed escorts and the FSR to be stood down.Were the FSR actually allowed to move around armed?

Dunno. Maybe it's the European in me, but violent looters and mobs during natural calamities isn't something that usually happens.They have to worry about looters and possibly rampaging mobs in a disaster scenario.

True, but remember that relief workers, particularly from hospital ships, will have food and drugs and a lot of them are women (risk of rape). There are risks of lowlifes committing crimes of opportunity and prisoners having escaped from jail. And it never rains if you carry an umbrella.Dunno. Maybe it's the European in me, but violent looters and mobs during natural calamities isn't something that usually happens.
-Some- scavaging for necessities, yes, and violence during protests and the like, thouse would be different issues.
Also, it's hard to steal a 50 kg TV as they probably had in the 60s, and small, portable, valuables are hard to find in houses brought down by a quake.
He had eventually told them what he thought he knew about Germany and they had just laughed. How many Americans were Cowboys? Bobby had been asked in return. Hardly any was the answer for that. Then he had been told that Germany had ended conscription after the Second World War, so it was hardly militaristic. Later that afternoon Bobby had been told that if he wanted to help, he could come back the next day. It was only afterwards that it occurred to him just how obvious it was that he had nothing better to do.
