You expect to comment about the dog, which is bad enough. But this is bizarre - people come in and just start conversing with potential killer nutcase and let him walk out the door? Sits in the rocker conversing with them?
What the hell kind of people are these? They couldn’t maybe accost this fool and pin him down?
I have a strong suspicion that we don’t have all the facts.
[the story reeks, IMO]
