Wonder if that diagnosis would allow no jail time. [emoji848]

I don't know. I have no patience with most mental health pleas that I see on TV. I think that usually it is a lawyers way of shinnying out of responsibility for the perp.

Thank heavens no one was hurt, it could have been deadly for sure.

Enjoyed reading about the biblical temptresses. I wonder how many battles or wars were lost because the generals were too preoccupied in their tents ...not now commander in the morning in the morning

Yes indeed he has destroyed a lot of lives with his foolishness.

Out of control libidos have been the bane of humankind in so many ways

So now we have labeled the neighbor and are placing some blame for this guys actions on her?

As I said in an earlier post - No one should have to be armed 24/7 in order to feel safe in The Villages.

Let's take it one step further. Would she safe in The Villages - with that perp just a couple of houses away - even IF she was armed - and knowing his trial would be a long, long time away? Every sound at night around the house might send her in a panic. Very terrifying situation. I

I surely hope that wasn't meant that way. That man probably is the reason she wasn't there at the time. If he returns to his home, who would want to live close by? I would want to be as far away from deranged behavior like that as possible.

Sad, sick, abnormal, confused, violent, sex. These words float around my mind in this very real occurrence.

This guy is a psycho. If I were her I would move if he does not end up in prison...where he most assuredly belongs.

Also demented, irrational, deranged, and quite possibly mentally ill.
Come on, drunk or not, who empties their gun into the house of a woman because he has a crush on her?
It's not fair, but If I were that lady, I'd have a For Sale sign in my window.

In all due respect JoMar for some reason unknown to me you continue to add your confirmation bias to every one of my comments. Please re-read my comments again, if you are so inclined, and you will see that never once did I blame the victim.

The news today is so depressingly saturated that I ignore most of it and in this instance while I did address my opinion of this guy I tried to make it a little lighter to regain some sense of balance.

Personal Best Regards:

Would this qualify for a disclosure? He should have to sell so the neighborhood could feel safer. Who would buy anywhere near that nut. He may need to sell to pay legal costs.

Just does not seem right but I don't know what could be done.

Any suggestions - and the lady getting a pistol is not a vald suggestion. No one should not have to be armed 24/7 in order to feel safe in The Villages.

Interesting that you think we need more gun control laws, yet when someone posts that the shooter could be ordered by the court to stay away from guns, you question how that would stop him? Now do you see why gun free zones are a joke? BTW, I believe it is against the law to discharge a firearm in TV. How did that work out? Sooner or later you are going to realize, you can live in fear without a gun, waiting for the predator with a gun, or you can recognize it is up to you to provide your own self defense.
