I'm sure BT and Nuckle can fill us in some more.

At least the kid is OK for now.

This is quite obviously a mental health issue.

Do not know anything about it at this point but I have been away from the news today. Dale county is about 3 hours from me and about 5 hours from BT.

Any updates on the kid?

As long as the authorities don't get stupid this is going to end well I'm betting. The guy is unstable obviously but he's letting them send non-essentials, meds, etc to him and they've said he's taking care of him. Six days in now, it doesn't sound like he has any intentions of hurting the kid. He might blow his own brains out before it's over but I'd bet he doesn't touch the kid.

He is a soverign citizen...this will not end well....

**Kanati** · 02-04-13, 04:59 PM

It's over. Feds went in and took him out. Kid walked out unharmed.

Well, at least it had a good ending. Pity the guy got into the mental state that led to that situation.

**Warflagon** · 02-04-13, 07:37 PM

Is it just me, or is anyone else more interested in the motives of such an insane situation? (now that the situation is over, that is.)

Maybe I missed my calling in life not being a psychologist, but to be honest, I don't really don't think I could look to deep into that sort of abyss.

I would like a nice summary of the mental eval though. Anyone got a link to that?
