Davis police investigators said they recovered evidence from the rental property of the man who shot and killed one of their officers Thursday, including a note they believe was written by the man and two guns that were not registered to him.
On Saturday, police released a one-paragraph letter they believe was written by Kevin Douglas Limbaugh. Spokesman Lt. Paul Doroshov told reporters that the paper was found face up on the bed of the gunman. The letter reads:
The Davis Police department has been hitting me with ultra sonic waves meant to keep dogs from barking. I notified the press, internal affairs, and even the FBI about it. I am highly sensitive to its affect (sic) on my inner ear. I did my best to appease them, but they have continued for years and I cant live this way anymore.
The simple statement was printed and signed Citizen Kevin Limbaugh.

The first one. I’m saying that pot causes a lot of paranoid and delusional fantasies in some of its heavy users. Let’s say it’s a small percentage... maybe 6%. But when you have hundreds of thousands of pot users, as we do in Northern California, well 6% of them total up to lot of people. This guy was probably one of them. Are most of pot users crazy or delusional? No, the overwhelming majority of them aren’t, but some are, and, yes, pot causes it. I’m saying that there’s a high probability that this Kevin Limbaugh person was one of them. We’ll see, if and when the toxicology report and/or other details about him are released.
There is indeed. On literally my first day of college, I learned about the fallacy of the "one way correlation." Do you know that more than 99.9% of mass murderers drank milk as children? Ban milk!
And if its so bad in SF, with all the pot heads murdering cops, why is the murder rate in SF much lower THAN other parts of the country, like the Midwest and South?
So answer the simple question. Do you believe smoking pot made this guy go out and shoot a cop to death for no reason whatsoever?
The truth about the murder rate in S.F. isn’t politically correct, but I’ll give it to you straight. S.F. has a lower murder rate than most large U.S. cities because African Americans commit homicides at a disproportionately high rate, and San Francisco has a lower African-American population than other large cities. S.F. black population has gone from 14% in 1970 to less than 5% now. They’ve left because they can’t afford the place. And the homicide rate has trended down along with them.
Yes, I’m saying that there’s a good chance that his delusions about being bombarded by radio waves were caused by marijuana. And those delusions were the source of his animus toward the police.
I see, so the murder rate in SF is lower because it has fewer black folk?
But if all those people smoke pot in SF as you said, and it makes them crazy, why is the murder rate so low compared to other cities?
OK, so you agree, the suspect shot the cop for no reason at all, was because he smoked pot.
Ya sure ya want to stick with that?
Got it!
Lot of defense of pot smoking on this thread.
I'll bite. Most people who smoke pot start when they're young...either in their teens or early 20's. At that age human brains are still in a state of development. Pot use beginning in adolescence has been shown in several clinical studies increases the likelihood of schizophrenia. Pot impedes the development of the brain due to the tendency for it to remain in the brain for an extended amount of time after ingestion.
So yes, people who smoke pot are MORE likely to be crazy and do crazy things then those who do not.
And if all those people smoke pot in SF as you alluded to, and it makes them crazy, why is the murder rate so low compared to other cities?
And if all those people smoke pot in SF as the poster alluded to, and it makes them crazy, why is the murder rates and other crime rates so low compared to other cities in the Midwest, South and other regions?
Thanks!
Look, I’ve already explained this to you. Pot is a factor in some violent crime, but is just one of many factors. Race is a bigger factor. Blacks commit approximately 50% of the homicides in the U.S. When S.F. has a tiny black population (approximately 60% less than the country as a whole) because median home prices are in the millions and rents are astronomical, you get a lower homicide rate.
Could the same be said for the entire non-pot smoking general population of the U.S. in regards to mental illness?
I still can't understand why in some cities that don't consume pot like they do in SF, as you said, why are their crime rates so much higher than SF? What is causing all that violent crime in those cities if pot is used less frequent than in SF?
You got it, chief.
San Franciso is NEAR the top of property crimes for all US cities based on population density. Number 3 as a matter of fact. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate )
It's number 10 for motor vehicle thefts, Number 2 for larceny/theft and 23 for arson. And that's not counting all the "petty" crimes that aren't prosecuted due to the "caring" concern for the homeless (i.e. pooping in the streets, panhandling, prostitution, etc etc)
In addition Oakland, just across the bay, is one of the most dangerous cities in America as far as violent crime goes. So it's a crime ridden city populated by potheads and other druggies who commit all kinds of crimes.
