I think that the Haunted House guy is an innocent victim. He got caught in a feud with people who posted to his site, disputing his tastes and political views.
However, the other guy, definitely a nutter, has a disconcertingly important job.
Tavares took leave from his post as a weapons systems operator at the AEGIS Training and Readiness Center in Dahlgren, Va., and started driving.
I hope they don't let him back near any weapons.
You toy with an idiot you are just as bad as that idiot if you don't keep your cool and follow simple standard for all who use your site.....
Post the rules, follow the rules and avoid the fools.........
IMHO this Arsonist is NOT gonna let this drop if he went to this extent over a simple exchange of words. His own stupid acts cost him a lot but if he's dumb enough to try and burn the guys house down over a picture or getting banned. This guy in Waco is a dead man walking when this water-head gets out of prison. This crazy SOB will travel to make his point no matter how warped his mindset is ......he proved it.
Yeah, I thought the article was a bit misleading as well. It said that he was on leave and gave his job as well as his designator - sounded like he was active duty Navy. Then it went on to say how he had been discharged from the Navy last year. I may need to go back and read that part. My dates are messed up.
If he was discharged because of his criminal action, which makes sense, then it should be clear in the article.
