The paper today has two stories of nuts with guns. Both are follow-up stories of past events.
The first is about the nut Maj. Nidal Hasan the soldier from Fort Hood Texas who crazy and killed 13 people. This was someone who was trained to work around guns and still he used them in the wrong way. Here is a quote from the Wikipedia article about this nut.
"According to National Public Radio (NPR), officials at Walter Reed Medical Center repeatedly expressed concern about Hasan's behavior during the entire six years he was there; Hasan's supervisors gave him poor evaluations and warned him that he was doing substandard work. In the spring of 2008 (and on later occasions) several key officials met to discuss what to do about Hasan. Attendees of these meetings reportedly included the Walter Reed chief of psychiatry, the chairman of the USUHS Psychiatry Department, two assistant chairs of the USUHS Psychiatry Department (one of whom was the director of Hasan's psychiatry fellowship), another psychiatrist, and the director of the Walter Reed psychiatric residency program. According to NPR, fellow students and faculty were strongly troubled by Hasan's behavior, which they described as "disconnected," "aloof," "paranoid," "belligerent," and "schizoid."[49]"
Humm, kinda makes you think.
The second article is about the gunman nut that was shot by police the day before Christmas. The nut with the gun was Richard Darnel Longstreet and he had been arrested 8 times since 1996 and yet still had a handgun at the time police stopped and shot him.
