Why is it questioned whether he was a "prepper" or not? Does being a "prepper" signal that you are a madman? To an extent, I consider myself a prepper and a pro-pepper. It's legal to grow and smoke pot in California, any quack doc will write you a medical reason for the money, it's common for property owners around here to "patrol" their property to check fences and look for signs of trespassing and poaching unlike living on a 40 X 60 foot lot in the city. My son lives right behind me and has confronted people on his property on a number of occassions for messing with livestock, throwing trash onto his property and letting their pitbulls onto his property. In EVERY case, my son was armed. The federal government is the LAST entity that I would trust to do anything for me, i.e. FEMA, IRS, William Holder.....need I say more? If anyone that served in Nam is a potential nutjob we have a lot to worry about. Have to wonder though, is it the service in Nam that causes PTSD or is it the training to kill the government gives you that detaches one from reality? I don't think being poor makes you crazy either. Is there something in Cigarillos that causes one to go off? I heard the reason he shot over a vehicle some days before the incident was people were tearing up a dirt speed bump he had put on the dirt road by his property. Given this info I would assume people were speeding by his place causing dust problems. He probably put the speed bumps (right or wrong) in the road to slow people down. Then, when people started tearing those up, he went off; reached his limit. There are a lot more killers out there that never served in Nam, never prepped, never patrolled property or had bunkers, never smoked or grew dope, never smoked Cigarillos, never carried a gun in their waistband, never disliked the government etc. etc. It's not cut and dry as to what causes someone to go off. Heck, "temporary insanity" used to be a very popular defense. They didn't go back decades looking for a root cause of someone's actions, they admitted one instance could cause somone to kill.
