So here we had an unstable individual no one did a damned thing about well in advance of this incident. This is a failure of our mental health system as well as a failure to put the safety of the general public ahead of the civil rights of the mentally ill.
We can keep talking about gun control all we want, but it would have made no difference with this guy. He should have been on lock down a long time ago it appears.
This was what was going on at a friend's neighborhood with Mark Allen Eaton, the clown I have talked about in the past - shooting around in the yard for over a year, then trying to kill the two kids across the street, then pleading guilty and getting his good buddies in the Tim Harris DA office to find a judge to NOT accept the guilty plea. And then he keeps shooting from time to time in the back and front yard of his house. He used an assault weapon, too, and a Glock. But since there is only a note in the record admonishing him to be a good boy, he can STILL own a firearm!
It's good to have friends in the swamp!
Exactly the kind of 'FAIL' that leads to this type event.
It looks like he is in the area much less than previously, but left a couple of his buddies there to keep his place....
I did see his truck one time had a "NOTW" sticker on the back window, so he now hides behind the premise of repentance. But that is obviously just for show because he hasn't bothered to even talk to the family and at least apologize for attempted murder of the kids.
