Really my father was a veteran for 40 years never had a problem and never saw a war zone. I have an uncle that went in for 3 years because he couldn't find any other job got out and screwed his life up anyway. I have another brother that's been in for $20 and just retired and they found out that he's got tumors from leaky radiation on his ship and they are definitely helping him. And yet others who went in just to get the GI Bill and also never left the US and never saw a war zone and only put in three or four years. Make sure you specify war veterans because the rest that's on them.

MONEY. Baker Act lasts 72 hours, and some people need to be contained ad controlled with meds indefinitely, when mental illness gets to a certain point. Ryan O'Neal and Farah Fawcett's son is in a mental institution permanently, because O'Neal had the money to PAY for it. Families who don't end up like this.

Discharged from the U.S. military with Mental Health Issues. Any doubt that he legally possessed the firearms? Cops have been sued and lost for using the Baker Act for public safety reasons. So they are hesitant to use the law that often detains, evaluates and releases the person, before the cops end of shift. But it looks good on the books.
Don't you love it when they advertise on TV and the internet that they leave their doors and windows open at night? ... and then they wonder why shooters are in the are.
So not a Florida man but a northern snowbird. And that was a AirBNB they were staying at? Owners of that AirBNB are going to find their unit a little redecorated.
Got a question , if this man was apparently a threat to himself and apparently in crisis why was he not taken into protective custody until EMS arrived?
I am thankful none of the residents or their children were harmed. The perpetrator had a felony charge and a mental health condition…laws need to change for mental health not just getting them help but preventing stuff like this from happening.

No excuse.
@@grtinfulleffect8349Are You A Vet?? Have You Been In A War??🤐
It's a spiritual war
@@candrakane4642 Nope. Again no excuses.
@@grtinfulleffect8349 You Did Not Answer My Questions?? Do You Know Anything About PTSD?? Not Excuses, Reasons Why!! If You Don't Know Anything About PTSD, You Should Be More Aware Before You Say "No Excuse!!" 🙄
That is a rough Thanksgiving, hope it gets better for all the people involved.
He's a veteran he lost it they usually happens in veterans is sad
THANK Jesus Christ no law enforcement officers were injured.
Just another day in Florida this state gets worse by every day
Praying for all the people that were affected by this horrible situation today. It's sad we can't feel safe anywhere anymore. Grateful for trained professionals that kept everyone safe .
How come no matter what time of year it is they always think it was fireworks at first.
We live in America, people save fire works for birthdays and other holidays
Because the south Americans made it a habit firing off fireworks so people get acclimated to the sound of it resembling gun shots so nobody thinks twice about a shooting. It's gang mentality.
Here in Florida some people light fireworks for Every Holiday.
I have crazy neighbors who shoot off fireworks on any day of the year.
If I hear random pops and shots in public , my first assumption is going to be its gunfire and assess my situation, this way I can live to be relieved to find out it was only fireworks. Assuming its fireworks to begin with can get you killed.
Praying for strength and comfort for family and friends of the brother vet
😢. Lonely old man. How sad.
What a BS title. That's NOT a FL Man. It was a yankee. If they're not from Florida they shouldn't be called "Florida man".
Signed, a real FL Man.
PTSD and the silly season not a good combo
That's not a PTSD mixed silly season issue. I am a combat vet and I work with a lot of vets with PTSD that are not homicidal.
@@LinovtacDefense You can't speak for all of them. There are some like this when they have an event. You should know this if you are what you say you are.
@@LinovtacDefensethat's a ignorant statement appreciate your service but that's what's wrong with alot of you people in the mental health system you guys think ya know it all and how people feel in their heads.
@@LinovtacDefenseoh, you know this guy personally? You know what demons he was fighting? Gfys.
@@pdg61met I'm not speaking for ALL people suffering from PTSD, I don't know if you noticed I said A LOT not ALL, also the proof is in the stats. Majority of vets suffering PTSD aren't out there shooting up places during holidays. My comment was addressing the fact that you mentioned "PTSD and the silly season not a good combo", that's a blanket statement.
1:38 Oh dude!! You just told every robber in the vicinity to head to your area
Discharged from the U.S. military with Mental Health Issues. Any doubt that he legally possessed the firearms? Cops have been sued and lost for using the Baker Act for public safety reasons. So they are hesitant to use the law that often detains, evaluates and releases the person, before the cops end of shift. But it looks good on the books.
Don't you love it when they advertise on TV and the internet that they leave their doors and windows open at night? ... and then they wonder why shooters are in the are.
Exactly what I was thinking, specially with all the illegal criminals in our country now
He was tired and wanted out by Police. I wish people's life could be happier and don't need to do this.
I'm a cop.. get out of your house >> WHAT ??? You can ask but thats it >>>>
Thanks for the report Dude party on !!
A Thompson, a handgun, a shotgun, and 200 rounds is "armed for Armageddon?"
🤔 huh....
Right? Lmao
So not a Florida man but a northern snowbird. And that was a AirBNB they were staying at? Owners of that AirBNB are going to find their unit a little redecorated.
The veteran sound like he was having flashbacks. 😢
Suicide by cop ,sad
RIP brother don't say automatic weapon if you don't know
2:51 this dude just said automatic weapon how much you wanna bet it’s a semi auto and this dude is clueless
Unbelievable,, 😞
Worried The news reporter is dumb...She is more concerned about Thanksgiving..worry about living
this clown and the reporter chuckle over it, smh.
Mental health is important. SEEK HELP
Medicine is NOT enough
This is an evil sheriff
He probably just thought you were all out to get him. And you did! Sometimes the rabbit hole ends where one digs it to.
The armor proof forklift and the gi joes and the sniper. Lmao
Send less money to countries that hate us....
Today was Thanksgiving he was probably depressed and alone
He was staying at an Air B&B? That's an owner with a destroyed home and no recourse. I don’t think even insurance will cover that.
The Va is holier then thou and we are just crazy vets 🙄
Still haven’t learned
Maybe he just reacted to an acorn falling. Come on.
florida is paradise lost.
This person been interviewed waited whole life to make tv
Got a question , if this man was apparently a threat to himself and apparently in crisis why was he not taken into protective custody until EMS arrived?
Sorry you were inconvenienced.
Random shirtless dude just gave a whole damn press briefing
It's a magazine, genius, not a "clip..."
It's amazing that you still knew what he meant.
@oni_goroshi My apologies, but I don't understand your point.
Probably shouldn't have announced the door window thing😮
We leave our doors unlocked and our keys in our car! This is Ormond Beach our little white bubble!
G.I. Joe guy come on you’re old enough to know what military is. Give me a break. Couldn’t find someone else to interview.
I said the same thing. Tanks? Gi Joe? Sniper? Automatic weapons? Really?
Awful but nobody can do that bad a vet did that he was probably trained. Tragic
I don’t understand why people smile while telling of a tragedy.
I am thankful none of the residents or their children were harmed.
The perpetrator had a felony charge and a mental health condition…laws need to change for mental health not just getting them help but preventing stuff like this from happening. There had to be more red flags 🚩 the first red flag was his family was afraid and relocated. Number 1 warning flag!
