He is now being hounded by hundreds of highly trained armour-clad enthusiastic gunslingers who are intent upon his demise.................BUT........ hang on a minute, has this man not stated that he feels 'Harmed' and that the 'Harm' he suffered directly as a result of his involvement with the police led him to become 'Armed' ?.
Of course, one cannot condone the fact that he has taken life and attempted to take (and threatened to take) even more, yet I do think that the exposure in the press is a tad over the top.
It is known that he was apt to take steroids as part of his desire to build his body bulk, it is also known that over-indulgence can/may affect a persons personality (he may have done so) and that violence is one of the symptons conducive with such over-indulgence (if he has done so).
Coupled with the loss of his home, business, sweetheart and family, (which he clearly states was brought about by police involvement) would it not make more sense to try to make contact and REASON with the man ?.
I do hope that this man's predicament is not going to be used as some kind of anathema which will give the general public something other than the loss of a football match to think of, I really think that a gentler approach may produce a more civilized solution than a 'Shoot Out' in the woods (or elsewhere).
There has been enough killing and any FOOL will know that a cornered quarry is a dangerous one, 'Armed or Otherwise'.
IMHO
