Comments about ‘FBI: Officers stormed bunker when 5-year-old hostage was in danger’

Authorities say Jim Lee Dykes, 65 — gunned down a school bus driver and abducted a 5-year-old boy from the bus, taking him to an underground bunker on his rural property.

Dykes, described as a loner who railed against the government,

He had some scrapes with the law in Florida, including a 1995 arrest for improper exhibition of a weapon.

Neighbors described Dykes as a man who… threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property, and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a firearm.

"He's against the government, starting with Obama on down," he said.

"I think he's just a really angry and bitter guy with some anger management issues," Dees said. "He is just against everything — the government and his neighbors."

This is WHY we need background checks.

The title says the five year old is safe, but in the past week he has personally witnessed two people get brutally killed. I fear this child will not ever recover from this traumatic experience and feel truly safe for the rest of his life.
