Arrested for armed robbery
Handcuffed
DC Sniper
78 year old arrested for a robbery in 1978
Ted Bundy
Oswald
And I'm not even saying you're wrong...but the lack of handcuffs is odd to say the least.

Yeah, that is mainly what struck me so much. The vest is common these days. The lack of handcuffs, though?

That's not a pocket, that's a flap that hangs down in the front.

I got to admit this is strange. The officer that is escorting him appears to have his firearm in open carry and in that 1st picture the accused's hand is just inches from it.

If this is post-racial America without gun problems, that's sad.
Not sure if I should be outraged or just accept that these occurrences are just bound to happen here regularly.

I'm not one of those "what's become of the world" types, because I think things have been pretty lousy for a long time BUT I will say that our culture seems to be a volatile one where people are told:
#1 YOU are under attack, YOUR values/beliefs/way of life are under siege
#2 the best defense is a good offense
It almost seems like the hyperbole of our foreign policy (they hate us, they want to change us, they want to change our way of life and they can't be reasoned with so action NEEDS to be taken) has seeped into personal and domestic life. This guy was convinced a certain group was ruining his country and his way of life and it was only going to get worse so he responded by defending his ideals via offense.
That's how I see it (in an overly-simplified way, granted).

It has been reported that more than half of the worlds population carry a parasitic disease known as Toxoplasmosis. It's been suggested that in countries such as Brazil it causes males to become overly aggressive and fortunately for them ( he he ), females to become submissive and hyper sexual.
I'm curious if this or something else is behind overly aggressive ( read violent ) Americans.

I think we have a large section of the population who are mentally unstable and we have tried to mainstream them and when we do that this is what happens. These meds only cover up the problems. It's a serious problem.... We used to just put these guys in the nut house but thas too costly.
As far as your disease .... I honestly don't know. The only thing I know that Brasil leads in jis the largest population of hermaphrodites.
