Curious to know which association got him so angry he would do this. His Glenwood address might be a clue, but then again you can live in one subdivision and own property in another.

If the judges did their jobs like they were supposed to do, we wouldn't need so many of them (or lawyers). More crime = more jobs......

So, here is a dude threatening to take his shotgun and kill people at a meeting. And they let him out?? And, if he does go out and shoots people, the howls for gun control laws will ensue. Something isn't right about this.

They should have kept him locked up until court..and given him a psych Evaluation.
Gettin arrested might just push his buttons more.
