“This guy is dangerous. If you’re in a home and he breaks into your home and you have a gun, blow him out the door cause he’s like a rabid animal,” Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said...

This is what clear messaging looks like.
What is up with these former or ‘ex’ combat vets going off the deep end? I just read that other Marine, Bryan Riley, the one who shot & killed that Florida family of four including a helpless baby in its mother’s arms a couple weeks ago is facing the death penalty.
What is Baker Acted?
In other words, if you are a few fries short of a happy meal, you can be involuntarily committed to an institution.

With large numbers, you can find almost anything if you look closely.
Add in the stress and physical damage to our Veterans and do not overlook the age group...
added stress of the return to civilian life; like moving to a new planet.
And the anti-military “news” to pump up the BS...
I do not recall seeing murders labeled as former peace-loving hippies?
According to the Watson Institute at Brown University, between 1.9 and three million US service members have served in Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001, with over half of them deployed more than once.

Sociopaths ~1%...Among the people I worked for, I suspect the prevalence was considerably higher.
The (sociopath) disorder’s essential feature is a “pervasive pattern of disregard for, and violation of, the rights of others that begins in childhood or early adolescence and continues into adulthood,” according to the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The manual further says its prevalence has been found to range from 0.2 percent to 3.3 percent.

I see, its some kind of law; the “Baker Act”?

MagDump!
The Florida Mental Health Act of 1971 (Florida Statute 394.451-394.47891[1] [2009 rev.]), commonly known as the “Baker Act,” allows the involuntary institutionalization and examination of an individual.
The Baker Act allows for involuntary examination (what some call emergency or involuntary commitment), which can be initiated by judges, law enforcement officials, physicians, or mental health professionals. There must be evidence that the person:
possibly has a mental illness.
is in danger of becoming a harm to self, harm to others, or is self neglectful.
Both of these are defined in the Baker Act.
Forced to go have a mental evaluation, if nothing wrong is found, the patient has to be released within 72 hours.
Amen
