Details are still scant, but…

“I mean, he had a lot of ammunition in that house, and certainly … all of us were strapped, you know, with ammunition, and we were calling for additional ammunition,” Kraus said. “Like I said, we tried to give him every opportunity to come out.”

    …I’ll go way out on a limb and suggest that this could’ve been handled better.

    Yeah, I mean, they could stop evicting people and sentencing them to homelessness.

    That would be a start and would have avoided this entire thing.

      I mean the guy could have not spent all his money on guns and ammo and pay rent?

      Where are guns on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs do you reckon?

      People should be allowed to occupy and damage any property they’ve set foot on once, not matter how expensive

          He occupied a house, not an apartment. He got evicted because he wouldn’t settle for less than a whole house.

          I may be in this dude’s situation one day. And you know what I’m gonna do? Move to a cheaper apartment.

        People should have a home if the action here were to provide another housing option, then this wouldn’t have happened. Also seems the person likely had a traumatic reason for being evicted and needed help.
