Why do they always rush him (the perp)?

Orchid Island is a very nice part of the world.

Unfortunately, malefactors like the son wind up making the police act more like SWAT for what should be a mundane police action. He is not going to like his new home. He better be tied to it for a VERY long time, unless he is invited to meet his Maker by a jury of his peers first.

What the hec? Did the Deputy just walk right into it?

Sounds like the Sgt. is the only one that had his shit together.

I live in Vero Beach and this is the biggest thing that’s happened here in years. The local news stories say that the locksmith is in critical condition, as well as another deputy who are in the trauma hospital, Lawnwood Fort Pierce, along with the shooter.
The mother had to know he had a gun don’t you think?

Florida…no social workers available.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Needing a locksmith and deputies should have warned the heck out of everybody.

Hope the perp makes it and lives with it a long time with a new mama home.

Can anyone find a pic of the perp?

DOMESTIC CALLS ARE ALWAYS THE MOST DANGEROUS

[catnipman]

shouldn’t the cops have asked mom how many firearms were in the house and then taken appropriate measures? ... you know, first use bullhorns behind cover, demanding that son exit with hands visible, wait awhile, and THEN call in SWAT with all of their ballistic equipment, flash bangs, dogs, robots, special training, and such?

after all, mom was out of the house and in no danger, so there’s no real hurry ...

i have a good buddy now retired from the local sheriff’s office who said that under those circumstances they just waited until the moron came out sooner or later ... they pretty much got paid by the hour anyway and were used to waiting ...

Wonder how the MOTHER feels now?? Is she going to SUE the Sheriff’s office for shooting her poor baby?? Where’s the FATHER? She/they raised a MONSTER! BAD PARENTING!

This happened one county north of us. It has hit the local area very hard.

This happened around the corner from me and everyone here is quite shocked over this. The dirtbag son also died today and the locksmith has coded 4 times today. His family is asking for prayers so if you would please say one or two for him, they sure would appreciate it.
