They let him out of custody? Seems he should have been held for psychiatric evaluation.

According to court documents, Stockert told agents that he was “Jesus Christ” and that his parents were President John F. Kennedy and actress Marilyn Monroe
That would make JFK…the Lord. The chiseled features, the cut of the jaw…I guess I can see it. Who knew the Evangelicals were worshipping JFK all this while?

The Post says he was released to a “high-intensity supervision program.” A Grand Forks paper says his family contacted local authorities because he was missing, off his meds, and talking about kidnaping the dog and so forth. Pretty much what you’d expect. He didn’t want to hurt the dog—he just felt it was being neglected! Isn’t that nice?

Yet another tribute to our nation’s world-class mental healthcare system.

Thank goodness the gun-haters and gun-grabbers haven’t succeeded yet, or this fine, upstanding citizen might not have been able to acquire a shotgun, a rifle, and ammo.

Since it’s obvious that the man is mentally ill, I’m glad the situation was resolved without violence.
I have sympathy for his family. Hopefully they are involved in his care.
However, if this man were black, I have no doubt he would have been treated as a terrorist (and not the Oregon type) and would be dead or in jail with no psychiatric help.
I hate that this is now my conception of law enforcement. What happened to the policeman my mother said was my friend. Or that I told my children about 25years ago. As adults I’ve been telling them to say nothing if they are mistakenly in police custody.

According to court documents, Stockert told agents that he was “Jesus Christ” and that his parents were President John F. Kennedy and actress Marilyn Monroe
And it would make Marilyn Monroe the “Virgin” Mary…

Jesus has evidently given up on the human race and is now seeking relationships with those who are proven to be more “obedient” —
I’d say… good choice —
His lawyer successfully demonstrated that he was no more crazy than many GOP state legislators.
Crazy how?
Stockert told agents that he was “Jesus Christ”
Who are we to claim otherwise? This could be the Second Coming. First time around: sermons, tons o’ them, on the mount, fishes and loaves, performance money-lender tossing. Second time around: pet-nabbing, presumably for profit. Makes sense, right? We’re the single most capitalistic society in human history, and anything that makes money, making tools that kill folks, poisoning our freshwater streams and lakes, polluting the atmosphere to the point where humans can’t breath, making up ways to torture folks, making up big weapons to blow away folks from the dozens to the millions, all for profit, is next to Godliness. So why wouldn’t the original baby J turn to a life of crime: crime pays, baby!
Each presidential election cycle finds itself its very own Joe the Plumber. Here now comes Scott the Dog-napper, Locked, Loaded, Fully Armed & Freakin’ Dangerous - your very own GOP Poster Man, Reince Priebus!
Obviously the only answer is to arm all dogs. It’s the only way to protect the good dogs from the bad guys.
