Good grief. Barisone’s own civil lawyers claimed in a lawsuit that the cops standing around the police department should have noticed that he was on the verge of a mental breakdown. They didn’t know he had access to a gun.
RC was a trained psychiatric professional, knew MB, knew he had a gun, her gun, and had days to notice any deterioration in his mental condition.
Please explain how it is not a contradiction to say that 1) a bunch of cops hearing MB give a speech with agitation, frustration, and anger in his voice are supposed to realize the man, a virtual stranger to them, is on the verge of a mental breakdown and “do something”, but 2) RC with her knowledge of psychiatry, of MB, her knowing his behavior over the last days, and her knowledge he had a gun, would not realize it was a very dangerous situation?
Were the children present on the day of the shooting? If they were, they were in danger. Everyone on that farm was in danger.
