Associated Press<\/a> reports that Polk County, Florida Sheriff\u2019s deputies found an inebriated 13-year-old boy sleeping on a sidewalk. He claimed that he drank an entire bottle of liquor that he snagged from his parents’ liquor cabinet and that he planned to shoot up his junior high school in retaliation for being suspended for threatening to kill classmates, so the authorities used the Baker Act to involuntarily put him in the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation;<\/p>\n

Investigators searched the boy\u2019s PlayStation at his home in Davenport, which is between Orlando and Tampa, and said they found pictures of the suspected Parkland shooter Nikolas Cruz as well as images of the Columbine High School shooting in Colorado.<\/p>\n

They said the boy also made troubling statements \u2014 including that he wanted to die and see God, and that he wanted to kill students who had \u201csnitched\u201d on him before he was expelled. He also said he had buried a handgun in a neighbor\u2019s backyard to keep his mother from finding it. The Polk Sheriff\u2019s statement said a gun was not found, but they did learn that the boy had made similar statements in Osceola County, where deputies accused him in an affidavit of making written threats to kill.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The problem with school safety isn’t guns, it’s the culture that tells folks that it’s OK to shoot up your school to retaliate for perceived slights to your so-called honor.<\/p>\n

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd doesn’t play when it comes to the safety of Polk County residents. We at TAH are familiar with Sheriff Judd for locking up Kyle Barwan<\/a> last year. Here are some of his more quotable moments;<\/p>\n
