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.

Hearing voices and/or imagining that radio waves are bombarding your brain are classic symptoms of schizophrenia.
There’s a known link between marijuana use and schizophrenia.
What isn’t established is whether it acts as a trigger, or whether it’s being favored as self-medication.
But there’s definitely a connection of some sort.
I was only responding to your claim that I brought race up first. I didn't. You did with your assertion that "race is a bigger factor" and blacks, oh I'm sorry, African-Americans, can't afford to live in San Francisco for some unknown reason.
Time to hit the rack. It's late on the east coast. So I've go to blow this popsicle stand. It's been a slice. Bye.
If you find a guy over forty who has gone paranoid schizophrenic, then I’d suggest some unique drug experience (like using LSD) or some alcoholic binge episode where he had brain damage. You are correct in that it usually starts out in the teens and continues on.
I worked with a guy in the 1990s that I considered ‘normal’ and he was an occasional binge drinker (drinking enough to black out). And one day....you started to notice hints of paranoid schizophrenic behavior. It reached a level where you couldn’t trust the guy or his behavior.
So my statements are true but because they’re unflattering to black people, they’re “racist” “gems”? Because that’s what you said. And, yes, I did bring up race because it was pointed out that a pot-loving city like S.F. has a lower murder rate than less pot-friendly cities in the midwest such as Detroit. And I told the uncomfortable truth about why S.F. has a lower murder rate than Detroit or Chicago or St Louis or even our neighbor Oakland. I live in S.F. You don’t. I’ve seen the black population drop and I’m also aware that our remaining black population largely hangs on by living in public and Section 8 housing. I’m not saying this stuff to be mean or provocative, just tellin’ like it is.
This might not be the gentle pot of our sordid youth.
The researchers also found that in normal cannabis resin, the average concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) - the main psychoactive component - had risen by 50 per cent since 2005, from four per cent to six per cent.
In contrast, the ratio of antipsychotic cannabidiol (CBD), which helps mitigate the drugs psychoactive effects, had fallen dramatically.
Skunk has around 14 per cent THC and is more dangerous because it contains very small amount of CBD.
Yes, there’s pretty widespread agreement that the THC content has risen pretty significantly recently. Some of the heads I know vape highly concentrated forms of it. There’s a never-ending pursuit of the perfect high. It’s very sad.
I just noticed that the debate was ignoring possible changes in the subject of discussion.
I’m very confident it wasn’t pot which caused this guy to ride up willy-nilly on his bicycle one day and shoot this officer to death, then shoot up the neighborhood, then leaves his ID/backpack behind, goes home, then blows his brains out when the cops get there. Just a wild hunch but I don’t think pot was this guys problem. He was a raving violent lunatic.
My bet would be this guy had significant mental issues before he ever smoked pot and it probably went back to his earlier years or birth.
I'm not so sure. My best friend's brother developed schizophrenia in his early 30's.....
Prior to that his life was uneventful. Vietnam vet, U. of M. graduate, professional recruiter.........then he went downhill.
Lost his business, lost his wife, lost his home, ended up homeless and living on a beach in northern Michigan until his brother was finally able to get a local judge to authorize his hospitalization at a state mental hospital in Traverse City........
When on his meds, the rest of his life was spent in a drug induced stupor and the only noteworthy job he held was in a supermarket bagging groceries. Then when he was off his meds, he lived in his own fantasy world...........fortunately he was never violent.
When did he serve as an ambassador in Cuba?
“It seems” is a euphemism for I pulled it out of my ass.
Especially absent any attempt to substantiate the assertion.
Great info. Thank you!
I'm not saying it's pot at all.
I'm just saying that there are factors that I only became aware of in the last year, such as this "skunk" issue.
What is funny to me is we know sonic weapons are out there. Even CIA agents are hit with them overseas now. We also know psychopaths are a real phenomenon, and intelligent ones often rise to positions of power.
But look at the way society has programmed people to not even consider psychopaths and sonic weapons might have met up in the US somewhere, and produced something that could be a problem.
Note that the CIA agents hit with Sonic weapons complained that when they came back to the US proper, they were hounded here on US soil, with their houses broken into, and they saw people following them.
I'm just saying that there are factors
Of course, but pot even registering to be a factor in this specific horrific extremely violent and unprovoked crime is probably at zip zero.
I'd bet the rent we'll eventually find out this guy had mental issues going back years.
Google Kevin Limbuagh + marijuana and you get....
exactly nothing. There’s no evidence that this guy ever used pot at all.
The only thing we do know is that he believed the police were bombarding him with ultrasonic waves. He was crazy.
Those who are linking his craziness with pot are doing so without the slightest bit of evidence to support that claim.
And before some clown claims that I’m an apologist for pot, I’m exactly the opposite.
Admittedly I started the pot discussion as pure speculation. How does a guy make it to 48 and hold down various jobs all while being a paranoid schiz? Is that probable? I suggested a hypothesis that his paranoid delusions of radio wave bombardment were likely the result of pot use. This hypothesis was provocative and unappealing to several posters. But when the toxicology report and/or details of his pot use trickle out in month or three, you guys shouldn’t be surprised.
