Arrested again
Dennis Markuse has been arrested again, this time for violating the terms of his probation.

It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate
Howling about evidence is a conversation stopper, and it never stops to think if the claim could possibly be true -- foreveryoung

Re: Arrested again
It's quite a dilemma. On the one hand, there's no doubt that as a society we cannot let people go running around making threats against others. On the other, mental health issues are not really something that most criminal justice systems are well equipped to deal with. (I readily acknowledge my lack of information specifically related to the Canadian system so would welcome a correction from someone with more information than me.)
