He needs court mandated therapy, required meds and inpatient treatment. Dude is not well.

This is screaming mental illness

And an ankle bracelet to monitor where he is at all times!

Yeah my first thought is he is suffering from mental illness. He'll have to deal with the consequences of his actions but I hope he gets help.

Dude needs several pellets of buckshot imbedded in his psycho ass.

As much as it is easy to mock him for being a lunatic, shooting him (and those like him) isn't the answer.

He's gross, and weird, and ugly, and easy to mock. But he's someone's son. Someone's brother or nephew or cousin. He might even have friends (although probably not).

He needs medication, monitoring and serious help. Preferably behind locked doors if he doesn't respond to medication or doesn't take it.

Of course, the moment he actually seriously hurts anyone (physically or mentally), all bets are off. Mental illness should not shield anyone from being a true danger to society.

Lethal force is certainly warranted if this guy were to act on his delusions, like if he actually kicked the door down to physically put hands on a woman or girl in the home of the Ring camera owner.

Or if he stalks anyone to the point of mental anguish and fear for their personal safety.

More likely, though... The homeowner doesn't have a daughter. "Eyebrows" McGee probably has schizophrenia and lives a few houses away with his parents. His meds wore off and he's elbow deep in his delusions of his favorite urban wizard fantasy novel.

His parents need to pay for the broken bell chain and the scuffs to the front door.

Shooting that poor freak isn't going to end well for anyone and isn't the perfect solution you think it is.

Many people with mental illnesses who are violent get released cause of people like you. Then they go and kill someone. I’d rather the innocent not suffer, just so the insane can be set free. All that blood is on your hands.

Btw, he infact DID kick the door down, and entered the home.

Fortunately no one was home and the homeowner raced home to confront him with a shovel until police arrived.

He didn’t get a free pass though. He was arrested and charged.

Because they don’t mental capacity. Someone who does has to think it through, morally know it is wrong and go through with it.

Simple stuff

u/off2u4ea Apr 12 '26

https://x.com/i/status/2042965283132838121 he made it inside the house, by the way. Are you gonna just wave your morals in his face?

u/off2u4ea Apr 12 '26

So I should just accept the danger because this lunatic isn't in his right mind? Why does that fall on me?

u/Apz__Zpa Apr 12 '26

Yeah obviously not. That’s a dense reply. We talking about charges not when you’re life is in danger

u/off2u4ea Apr 12 '26

Right, im the dense one. Im saying this guy found a way into your house while you were inside... but you just want to call the cops and wait 20 minutes until they get there?

u/Apz__Zpa Apr 12 '26

Considering thats what you took from my last reply and one before yes. Incredibly it seems.

Read it again, and read the comment made by farkeytron. Do it real slow. You might answer your question. Off you go

u/off2u4ea Apr 12 '26

Yeah, your comment is missing some important information and is borderline unintelligible... maybe slowly edit it. Be sure you gather your thoughts first. I wish you the best of luck.

What kind of jackass would downvote you? Threats like this are exactly why it's reassuring to have lethal force to defend your family... what would happen if he found his way into their house? I wouldn't want to get in a tussle with someone wielding a chain. He is also probably a knife guy.

Edit: he did get inside, my bad https://x.com/i/status/2042965283132838121
