As a liberal, I’m ok with neutralizing an active threat to the community. I think most of us are.
The sheriff did society a huge favor. I hope the women are ok, they must be so traumatized.
Of course we’re going to find out this guy has been arrested 20+ times in his past.
He got what he much deserved
