- With the growing number of autistic children, it is disturbing that our legal system can't figure out a way to prosecute someone who preys on children who are non-verbal or have limited communication skills. They are the most vulnerable and the least protected. The evidence that he shared hotel a hotel room with a child and showed classic "grooming" behavior should have been enough circumstantial evidence, along with the families' testimony, to at least get him banned from working with children. Shameful.

- According to the National Institute of Mental Health, people with Serious Mental Illness (SMI), such as schizophrenia, are more likely to be violent. Lumping all mental illness together as having "the same or lower likelihood of being violent" is statistical trickery that is technically true, but misleading. While treating every person suffering from depression like a ticking time bomb would be an obvious overreaction, treating people with paranoid schizophrenia as if there is no risk could inspire a dangerous complacency.

- My son had the exact same problem, including having the metal patch fall out, which is very rare. Luckily, his fell into his aorta, and they were able to use a catheter through an artery to retrieve it instead of open heart. He was even the same age when it was discovered, during his routine Boy Scout physical, that he has had for many years.

- It seems to me that anyone who blocks two lanes at an intersection, then gets so angry that anyone would be upset about it that he pulls out a loaded gun and points it, has serious anger management issues and impaired judgement. This is not the kind of person who has any business handling affairs for the public.
