Is it possible that Dan lived there years ago before the previous owner. Go look him up on the Internet, you'll find out if he lived in that area ever before. I've been recently receiving some medical bills for a guy that owned my house two owners ago, and I've been here 5 years, and that guy is dead.

Which part of " accumulation of risk factors " did you not understand?

... “No single risk factor consistently leads a person to act aggressively or violently,” the report states. “Rather, it is the accumulation of risk factors that tends to lead to aggressive or violent behavior. The research reviewed here demonstrates that violent video game use is one such risk factor.”

This is coming from CNN, so who knows. Did they get a leak from inside. I guess we'll find out shortly. Maybe Trump has had enough with dealing with the little children known as the Democrat party. Washington (CNN)The White House is preparing a draft proclamation for President Donald Trump to declare a national emergency along the southern border and has identified more than $7 billion in potential funds for his signature border wall should he go that route, according to internal documents reviewed by CNN . According to options being considered, the administration could pull: $681 million from Treasury forfeiture funds, $3.6 billion in military construction, $3 billion in Pentagon civil works funds, and $200 million in Department of Homeland Security funds, the official said. As lawmakers discussed a short-term measure to fund the government Thursday, Trump again raised the prospect of other ways to fund a border wall without congressional approval. "I have other alternatives if I have to and I'll use those alternatives if I have to," he told reporters. "A lot of people who wants this to happen. The military wants this to happen. This is a virtual invasion of our country," Trump said. The Defense Department referred a request for comment from CNN to the White House. https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/24/politics/trump-border-wall-emergency-draft/index.html

12:30 p.m. Xaver entered the SunTrust Bank, 1901 U.S. 27 South, with a gun. He immediately contacted bank employees and a bank customer, and overtook the bank by force. He then shot everyone in the bank. 12:36 p.m. After shooting them, Xaver called 911 on himself. He told dispatchers that he had killed five people in the bank. The thoughts and the acts of local dispatchers were to maintain phone contact with him until responding units arrived at the scene. 12:40 p.m. Units from the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the bank. 12:42 p.m. Units from the Sebring Police Department responded 2 minutes later. Both units maintained observation and control of the scene until other units arrived, including crisis negotiators. 12:44 p.m. A SWAT callout was initiated in hopes that authorities could assume responsibility of the scene. During crisis negotiations with Xaver, it appeared he was not willing to allow law enforcement authorities access to the victims in the bank. 1:54 p.m. The Highlands County Sheriff’s Office SWAT team entered the bank at the request of Sebring Police Chief Karl Hoglund. The team entered by crashing through the front doors in an armored SWAT vehicle, according to the Sheriff's Office. 2:28 p.m. After entering and securing the scene, authorities located Xaver in a rear office and took him into custody, according to an arrest affidavit. He had a bulletproof vest and a 9 mm handgun, the affidavit stated. They immediately began assessing victims. All victims had succumbed to their injuries inside the bank. The victims were found lying face down in the lobby with gunshot wounds in the backs of their heads and upper torsos, according to the affidavit. https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/2019/01/24/sebring-shooting-suntrust-bank-timeline/2665948002/

OK, so in this instance, half his family is in Florida the other half in Indiana. So which one should take responsibility for watching him, knowing he has a history of mental illness?

Many people's actions come from being a victim to their environment.

That seems to be the case. The majority of these deranged shooters come from broken/divorced households? Is there a pattern? Plus, a neighbor reported he'd hear the kid up late in the morning playing video games. Are these killing games part of the problem, where shooting people in real life is just like shooting them in the video?

More background information: Alex Gerlach told The Washington Post she used to date Xaver intermittently for about three years. She told the newspaper they met at a psychiatric hospital in 2013 in Plymouth, Ind. and he had talked about killing before. “Since the time we met he had this fascination with death,” Gerlach told The Washington Post. “It got worse as we broke up. We got back together on and off for a while. Then I decided it was too much for my mental health.” Gerlach said Xaver told her he had purchased a gun last week but thought nothing of it because he had always liked guns. She said she believes he purchased a handgun, according to The Washington Post. Another friend, who spoke to The Washington Post on condition of anonymity, said Xaver told her he wanted to join the military “because he wanted to kill people.” The friend said Xaver had messaged her late Tuesday night and she now fears he was reaching out for help. The friends told the newspaper they’d been telling Xaver to get help for years. https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-bank-shooting-suspect-had-fascination-with-death-talked-about-killing-before-friends-say Somebody saw something, but didn't do anything. Sounds very similar to Parkland. Just wait, he comes the NEW call to ban guns, since we all know, it's the guns doing these killings, and not the mentally ill individuals.

Seems like another deranged shooter than no one saw coming. Reports coming out on what type of questionable past he had. He was a corrections officer in training from this past Nov. to Jan. SEBRING, Fla. (WFLA) - A woman who said she dated Sebring bank shooting suspect Zephen Xaver says he often talked about wanting to hurt people and she tried warning people in the past, but no one believed her. Xaver, 21, is accused of opening fire inside a Sebring SunTrust bank Wednesday, killing five people. Alex Gerlach lives in the South Bend, Indiana area and told WSBT TV that she dated Xaver off and on for two years and has kept in touch with him. She said that Xaver often talked about wanting to hurt people and recently showed her a photo of a handgun. Gerlach told WSBT TV that she did not think anything of it. Gerlach also described Xaver as being fascinated with death and guns. "For some reason [he] always hated people and wanted everyone to die. He got kicked out of school for having a dream that he killed everybody in his class,” she said. Gerlach said "every single person I've told has not taken it seriously, and it's very unfortunate that it had to come to this." Investigators did not offer a possible motive, and a police spokesman said he did not know if the attack began as a robbery. Five people were killed inside the bank. Their identities have not been released. https://www.wfla.com/1722447600

Here is what pops up on my computer when I hit quote. Notice above your comment is the tool bar. If I want to quote a section of article or other comment, I copy/paste it here, then highlight it and hit "quote", and it puts it in the Quote box. I typed that, highlighted it, then hit the "Quote" button on the toolbar.

How about when on your computer, is the toolbar there? I don't access from mobile, it's too cumbersome, plus all the ads are a pain.

Can you just copy and paste the text you want to quote, then highlight it and hit the "quote" button in the toolbar?

Do we get a CCW permit too after that anal cavity search?

Well, he is a member of your Blue Team, so what do you expect? ...."“As part of a sweeping set of gun control proposals that are currently under consideration in New York State,” Cooke begins, “a Brooklyn-based state representative named Kevin Parker has proposed a measure that, if enacted into law, would require anyone in New York applying for a handgun to hand over their social media username and password to the police.” The Democrats aren't even trying to hide their Communistic agenda.

I agree. I think if they argue it, they will keep it very focused just on the travel restrictions in NY. I really doubt they will dig deeper into 2A issues with this case. That's a can of worms they won't open.

I'd go with that:

True, there are plenty of non-constitutional laws, like mag bans, evil features and national reciprocity, that would have a lot larger reach. Let's hope this isn't an appeasement case. That's also a possibility. Remember when a certain someone said "Elections have Consequences"? Logic and Common Sense isn't the Hallmark of the Democrat party.

I just read the synopsis of the case. I don't think it will help us here, as we can transport to many different locations. It's a ridiculous law in NYC, where it says you can ONLY transport handguns to one of the few city ranges, and no where else. That law says permit holders can't transport to any other range, a second house, to a competition, or any other legal location. It should be overturned by the SC

Great article and spot on. I believe it will be the FAKE media that will be leading the country into the next Civil War. The primary reason for such a huge divide in the country is due to the inaccurate reporting by the media, and they are never held to account when publishing total lies. This situation with the teenagers is just another example. ALL the Liberal media as well as Dem politicians, Liberal Hollywood, etc. all jumped on this FAKE story to excoriate the teen, when in fact, he was totally innocent. The comments people posted on social media were totally disgusting. At some point, the Liberal media will Dox the wrong person/group, and that's when the shooting will start....

Ha.. I just came in after the last walk with my poochie, and yes, it's cold and January... That doesn't mean it still doesn't suck with single digit wind chills... Can I have a little bit of that heat now?

The worst part is the wind chills, suppose to hit -10 here, and that's after sunrise in the morning. I can tolerate the cold, it's that wind that really sucks.

It is very strange. It's like it never got cold during the Winter before in NJ... The government now need to save people from themselves. Maybe the government can force Facebook to send Public Service announcements to users. That's probably the only way the "sheep" will see them.

I wonder if they installed smaller orifices in it? If not, the flames would have been huge, since propane runs at a higher pressure.
