Higher taxes to fund services we will never use... and just what the poor need -more short term government jobs funded by the tax dollars they will get the "privilege" of paying for 3 or 4 months before going back on unemployment until the next batch of tax funded short term government jobs is created. Change you can believe in but can't pay the bills with... nice.

He pulled a gun on a public safety officer. To me that says he is probably someone with a bad history with law enforcement, most likely not a CWP holder, and definitely someone the police need to track down before someone innocent gets hurt.

Child molestation often kills it's victims from within. This animal will never harm a child again (as most sex offenders usually wind up doing). Justice was served here, and I bet this girl grows up proud of her dad from preventing her attacker from ever harming anyone else.

If I walked in on someone abusing my little girl, I cannot promise I would handle the situation any differently.

This is a tragedy, but hopefully this neighborhood learns some valuable lessons in prevention from the details when they are released, and I hope that the details that were truly random and unavoidable do not haunt them for too long. Bad things happen to good people every day, but you can't let those things paralyze you in fear and stop you from living/enjoying life.
