You have to go all the way to paragraph 9 to see this little nugget:

“According to cops, the shooter was involuntarily institutionalized in 2017 through a state law called the “Baker Act.”
The year prior, he was involved in a domestic call that ended with no arrests.”

A mentally ill person allowed to possess deadly weapons.......AGAIN.

Also, since this happened where I am, there were THREE other shootings last night as well, but these don’t fit the narrative of course:

Jacksonville police investigating 3 seperate shootings in 3 hours

I wonder if the FBI (or some other government entity) has a list of these mentally unstable people who are racist and have the potential to be violent.
It probably wouldn’t take much of a “nudge” to send them over the edge when it’s expedient to do so.

Yet nothing since 2017...?

I smell a modified limited hangout.

What did LE know and when did it know it?

What’s the perp been up to since 2017...

“the shooter was involuntarily institutionalized in 2017.”

And that is an automatic disqualification for owning firearms, unless he was subsequently found to have been “cured” and not a threat to himself or others.

Should there be red flag laws?

Long past time to reopen the mental hospitals closed down in the 1970s. Not long after the closing, and the crazies released on the streets, mass killings began. So many of them would have been in a mental hospital if this was the 1960s.

But then, so would many in the Biden administration.
