Apparently giving the impression that you might commit a crime is an arrestable offense now:

you know, police can take someone into custody for an involuntary commitment without a warrant or mental health consultant, if the police deem you a danger to yourself or others. It is not an arrest but a custody placement so they can receive a mental evaluation.

Preemptive strike. We tried running a country on that for a while, and all we got was a lousy war.

I don't know all the details here, but hypothetically if this guy did go nuts and shoot everyone, wouldn't people be complaining about how all the signs were there, and we did nothing?Just saying, sometimes you can't win for losing.

^^I don't think it's exactly sacrificing freedom for security.I'm just saying that when we have had these kinds of incidents in recent years, many people have looked back and complained that nothing was done when there were warning signs. (See the Ft. Hood attack and the VT incident).I'm not making a judgment, just an observation.

We're light on details here.What caused his employers to call the cops? As he was being led out of the building did he turn around and say "You'll pay for this" or something?
