A friend lived next door to the Kinkels. That was so tragic. She'd told me it was 'eerie' that day ......she'd known the family for several years. My heartfelt thank you to the young man who reported the gun and texts. I'd say we diverted a tragedy. I'd like to note here that via the info on Craig? No mental il...

"None of this is to minimize the gravity of serious mental problems, or the anguish they cause." Really Margaret? It looks to me like that is the entire purpose of your reckless diatribe.

Tired of the "open season" some people feel it is regarding cops. Perhaps the guy is mentally/emotionally ill, off his meds, or something else that could possibly explain (excuse) his attacking a police officer.

I'm not so sure you should be talking to anyone about mental illness.

So much for an impartial jury. The cat is outta the bag! While this kid needs heavy intervention, and deserves it, it should be noted his resemblance to FAS people.
