A Wixom man accused in a series of shootings across four Michigan counties last month was charged Friday with 60 counts — including attempted murder — involving eight shootings.It's amazing how the pro-gun crowd keep telling us how safe and responsible they are. Yet, we keep seeing stories like this one.
Raulie Wayne Casteel, 43, is being held without bond on the assault with intent to murder charges.
One of his attorneys, Charles Groh, said Casteel is a college graduate who lived in Wixom at his in-laws' house with his wife and 2-year-old daughter. He said Casteel has been unemployed for the past two years, was financially supported by his wife, has never been convicted of a crime and was a stay-at-home dad.

Oh, look, another aging crabby flabby white man, a little on the young side for the archetypal NRA member, but getting there.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear his explanation for why he did this (allegedly).
I'm sure it was some kind of castle defense, aren't you? Sheesh.
You buy a gun, your intelligence drops. Of course, buying the gun is a mark of craven stupidity in the first place.
ReplyDeleteNo, Anonymous, it's living in California that lowers your intelligence, or so said Truman Capote.
ReplyDeleteDog Gone, this man's forty-three and doesn't look flabby in the picture. Of course, facts never matter to your side.
Mikeb, the article said nothing about whether he is a "lawful" owner or not, but the fact remains that you have yet to provide us a definition of the word, rare. Here's my evidence on the subject, provided for your benefit once again:
Number of gun owners in America: 100,000,000 +/-
Number of guns: 300,000,000+
Number of injuries and deaths of all types from firearms: about 100,000
One one thousandth is rare in my book.
