The ‘kid’ that murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas was born to a drug addict mother and his brain was scrambled from conception. He is pyscho.

As a young boy, he tried to kick his neighbor’s baby into the swimming pool and went on to demonstrate his need to be institutionalized for years.

My son and I ran across a guy on the AT carrying a machete. He was very strange and talked to himself at the shelters. This was maybe 8 years ago. I wonder now if this was the same guy.

The AT attracts a lot of homeless. There’s a whole subculture of them every year on the trail.

.***build mental asylums ***

We had them but they were closed after TITICUT FOLLIES and ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST movies came out. People felt they should be in regular society. And the crime wave started.

Some more background. Why was this turd let out?

“Subject on the AT we received several complaints about has been located and checked by North Carolina Law Enforcement in Madison County,” Hensley wrote on Facebook.

The man was reportedly in possession of marijuana, a pipe, and a 20-inch knife, according to the sheriff.

“He was slurring his words, trouble standing to the point I allowed him to rest on the hood of my car,” the report said.

Investigators said he had bloodshot eyes and smelled of marijuana so they searched him and that’s when they found the knife and drugs.

According to WCYB, other charges in Unicoi County against Jordan are pending and in other jurisdictions along the trail.

Earlier Monday, the man had been described as armed with a machete and dangerous — but then the Madison County Sheriff’s Office in North Carolina told WLOS in Asheville that they had made contact with the man, and didn’t believe there was a threat.

Investigators said the object initially believed to be a machete was a guitar, and that the man has made no criminal threats and wasn’t going to be charged with a crime.

However, Unicoi authorities said a suspect caused a disturbance in the Sams Gap Area and was under the influence of an intoxicant. The suspect reportedly gave investigators a fake name and identification, according to the report.

We need to bring back asylums.
Sorry, but asylum is only for illegal immigrants.

A swift whack with a machete beyond each knee would make it harder for him to bother or attack people on the AT.

I remember fifty years ago my first liberty in Subic, we were warned about “drugs”.

I didn’t get it. I was thinking they were talking about medicine. I didn’t know a thing about illegal drug use.

Is that a puffy shirt he has on or is that the new prison garb?

Maybe he's a tranny.

Taurus made a very lightweight .357 all titanium Model 605, that went about 16 oz (unloaded) IIRC...Don’t know if it’s still available new, but used maybe...Never shot one, and suspect they have a serious recoil, but that’s lightweight!

The Ruger LCR in .38 Special, with a couple of speedloaders is not a bad choice for backpacking. especially for defense against 2-legged predators...I’d step up to .357 or .44 Mag for bears and cats, though...

May be time to go back to honest men carrying swords?

Given that he is from massassachusetts, he is probably a LIB nitwit and lunatic.

One .44 magnum + one insane would-be murderer = one well-earned defense.

Weapons carry, because when you really, really need them, the police are minutes (or hours) away.

And your answer to the problem is....?

Many insane asylum facilities are still there, but lying fallow. It might not cost all THAT much to rehab them and Bellevue Hospital, in NYC, is still up and running; it's just not used for an insane asylum anymore, though they DO still have one psychiatric ward.

Besides which, this solution would NOT be a Fed Gov thing, but rather a states' perview.

Exactly so!

And the 2 idiots who tried to shoot up the STEM school in Colorado were not only weirdos, but druggies as well.

And Adam Lanza was a known mental case from at least the age of 9.
