"His friends and his neighbors stated that he did not trust the government, that he was a Vietnam vet, and that he had PTSD," Byrd told the civil rights group. "He was standoffish, didn't socialize or have any contact with anybody. He was a survivalist type."

Sounds like a particular party type to me..

It's just another act of right wing domestic terrorism. Even you even mention it though the right wing goes bonkers.

Doesn't sound like a good situation. Why should this boy suffer because the man overdosed on Fox reality?

Of course they do because that's what the common denominator is.....it's not what gun they have or what political party they may belong to, it's that they're mentally unstable.

I hope this crisis ends with the boy safely returned to his family and this person gets the help he needs.

so why is he characterized as an "anti-government guy" and not a Vietnam vet, when the article never referred to him as being "anti-government?" Oh wait, your trying to turn this into a political statement to trash republicans and Tea party types, okay, i get it now.

It was reported that as soon as he moved into that property he started building that underground bunker and stocking it with food, etc.

Also, he wanted two children, but only got one, because that kid fainted and was easily picked up.
