Did the slain patient have a pebble in his shoe?

I think someone tried to steal his ring and shot him in the arm.

The Second Amendment doesn’t say “except crazy people.”

Fits (this time, I am serious), you may want to re-check your information. From the sources I have read, to include this one on the WIS site, the Probation officer shot the patient after the patient attacked a doctor at the facility. I don’t believe a Probation officer was shot or attacked anyone.

I noted the dipsticks on WIS are already Monday-morning armchair-quarterbacking the Probation officer’s actions. I would bet a week’s pay they weren’t there and do not know what the officer was faced with. One of them who worked in the field talks about their “non-violent crisis intervention” (formerly PMAB or Progressive Management of Aggressive Behavior). IF the circumstances and the patient respond to that, all is well and good. If the patient has gone totally apeshit and is trying to butt rape the staff, bite off their faces, or like behavior, then I hope she gets the opportunity to demonstrate how well that works on such a person once day.
