LAFAYETTE, La. — The man who killed two people and wounded nine others at a movie theater was so mentally ill and violent that years ago, his wife hid his guns and his family had him hospitalized against his will before obtaining a court order to keep him away.

In the 1990s, he frequently appeared on a local television call-in show, advocating violence against people involved in abortions, said Calvin Floyd, who hosted the morning show on WLTZ-TV in Columbus, Georgia.

Houser also espoused other radical views, including his opposition to women in the workplace. Floyd described Houser as an "angry man" who made "wild accusations" about all sorts of topics, and said he put him on to counter a Democratic voice because "he could make the phones ring."
The drive-bys are going to run with these like there's no tomorrow.

Has the Obumbler called for GUN CONTROL yet today?
The day will not end without Obie spouting his "Bloomberg gun control mantra" being pushed yet again.

so....he's a dangerous nutjob, but the media was more than willing to give him an open platform because it was good for ratings?

Give me a few minutes; I can find a dozen or so of those types right here on FR.

The system failed us. If he was this ill and violent, more should have been done.

As was said on another thread - this guy is sounding like a composite, where everyone is tweeting in suggestions on how to make him as unPC as possible...

He’s mentally ill and violent. He’s a liberal by definition.

You’re a self back patter by definition — we don’t know what his politics. That does not excuse what he did with the guns.
