    Default LTCF + Concealed Weapon = A INVOLUNTARY commitment !

    SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT ABOUT THIS STORY

    BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. – A Pittsburgh-area health club that was the site of a mass shooting four years ago has added security after a patron was found carrying two guns in his gym bag.
    Collier Township police tell the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (http://bit.ly/1eDnzGi ) that the man wasn't charged, but he was committed for a mental health evaluation. Police were called to the LA Fitness last week after an employee reported being harassed by the man.
    Police say the man had a permit to carry the guns and was involuntarily committed to a mental health facility but was released Friday after doctors examined him.
    In August 2009, George Sodini fatally shot himself after killing three women and wounding nine others at the club.
    Police are posting an on-duty officer at the club indefinitely.

    I don't go to that particular LA fitness, but I am a member. It'll be interesting to see if there are any new policies that come about after this incident.

    I think there's more to the story. I heard it on the news this morning, something about him already being banned from other stores in the plaza. I'm reserving judgement on this one.

    Misleading thread title is misleading. And what the fuck does this have to do with politics? A jackass went into a private establishment and babbled nonsense repeatedly until an employee felt uncomfortable and called the police. NOT POLITICS. Erratic behavior + nonsensical rambling = 302.

    And doing it in a place that had a mass shooting recently, well, not the brightest idea.

    Like most things in policing, it's about the totality of the circumstances. If he was interviewed by the police about his harassment of the employee and he started sharing that he determined that she was actually a space alien and that he carried the guns because space aliens were taking over the world...
    "A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself"

    Yes...there is a whole lot more to this story.. the guy dressed up identically to the original shooter...had a bag identical to the original shooter.... walked into the LA Fitness and went into the workout room that was full of yoga patrons...put his bag down.... and then turned off all the lights. I do not know what all he said to the police as far as what his motivation was.
