That was the part that really bothered me here too. So often when some kook goes off we read this. That the kook was making it very clear for a while that they were well a kook. Then no one does anything until its too late. If this is really how this went down I would bet money the guy was taking medications for a good while and had stopped taking them too. Sadly too bad no one there could just drop him with their gun before he could shoot a second person. Now we get to support him for a long time and he will probably be turned loose on the public again.
It's a moving target because of all the kabuki theater trying to get it passed but as of Nov 10,2021 . . .
0.6% of the bill. Six tenths of one percent. As society crumbles - never mind the bridges!
Bridges where slated to get $27 Billion. We can do this all day if you like
Yes but then we are going down a very slippery slope, a slope that will lead to even greater and more draconian "red flag" type situations.
I am NOT big on the "red flag laws" so to speak but, so often when this happens we find out later it was really bad. Several of the school shooting were a prime example. Some kook, who a LOT of people seemed to know was a kook, finally goes off. If this guy really was showing clear signs of going off the deep end he should have been dealt with. Every time one of them does this it just feeds the public willing to go along with "do something laws". Of course it also does not help that long term scum, who are not kooks, just scum, are treated to a revolving door at the jail.
Dude WAS a red flag. No one cares. I was not actually suggesting more laws at all. We have way too many. Sorry for the confusion. My point was that every such tragedy could have been prevented if only one person of the many who were suspicious had called about the perp. Probably already a felon in possession, this guy was known to the PD and probably not for good reasons.

Ok let's take guns OUT of the equation.
I agree for the most part; sadly, the anti's won't want to give us a chance to do the right thing without them taking advantage of it...
Thank you!
And this was the basis for my response.
So here we go. A murder by a shoplifter who was 'caught shoplifting just days earlier' - and set free.
Tensions are running high. Lock people down for two years and they get a little crazy. Then as they start to learn that there was no good reason for it other than money, and discover how many people were deliberately killed, more of them are going to lose their bubblegum. Hopefully it doesn't go past random whackos going nuts here and there.I was kind of afraid stuff like this was going to start to come out
