The mom told the cops “He’s off his chain”. The guy was a known violent ding.

You can also see he advanced on the cops as he went from the door threshold and ended up full of holes about 6 feet outside the front door in front of the garage door.

Blame the federal judges, not the cops.

There is a larger issue at play here. Ignorant? ok, whatever.

Biggest mistake was the first 4 words... “She called the police...”

Certainly her son had a counselor or psychiatrist? Should have called them first.

In one example, a study interviewed 50,000 members of the Swedish Army about their drug consumption and followed up with them later in life. Those who were heavy consumers of cannabis at age 18 were over 600% more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia over the next 15 years than those did not take it.

Doesn't say whether the pot caused the schizophrenia, or a susceptibility to schizophrenia causes pot use, or a third factor causes both. "Study finds genetic links between schizophrenia and cannabis use" - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3171782/posts

Pepper spray isn’t going to stop a crazy on a rampage.
