I have neighbors who I really like who might react similar to this guy under the same circumstances.
We have a lot of experience caring for elderly family members. I have no illusions about that.
But, 107?? The article did not say what the “aggravated assault” was. I read elsewhere that it was he pulled a gun on the 2 individuals who were in his house. More than likely they were trying to force him into a home, understandable at 107. Many elderly resist that. Would you, if you felt you did not want to go?
I’ll stick with the mere facts of the situation as reported and you can engage in speculation about which you know nothing. I based my post on the mere facts.
