Dallas police shooter’s father says ‘liberal people’ drove son to ‘breaking point’

http://www.rawstory.com/2015/06/dallas-police-shooters-father-says-liberal-people-drove-son-to-breaking-point/comments/#disqus

The father of a man who opened fire on Dallas police headquarters blames liberal policies for his son’s obsessive anger.

“Every one of us has a breaking point,” said Jim Boulware. “He hit his.”

A police sniper shot and killed 35-year-old James Boulware — described as a conspiracy theorist who had made threats against schools, churches, and family members – after he fired gunshots and detonated explosive devices shortly after midnight Saturday at the police station.

His father told CNN his son was enraged at police – who the younger man blamed for taking away his son in a custody battle.

Jim Boulware said liberal policies had spurred a Child Protective Services investigation after he choked his mother two years ago, which landed him in jail for three weeks – until his father bailed him out.

Never listened to Beck, so I don't know.

Any of the conspiracy people are bad for mental health, as are the knee-jerk co-haters on the other side.

"do" and "believe" the opposite, which is projecting blame on anyone else.

Just because you choke your mother that doesn't mean you might endanger your child. That's two full generations removed! It's like with all that global warming crap, take some so called fact out of context and then rush to the worst possible conclusion "based" on it.... liberal people, sheesh.
