He was literally in the chair when FBI/ASP walked in and cuffed him.

Exactly. I get a chuckle out of national and state parks when there are signs saying "No guns allowed." Yeah, ok bro.


I've had this discussion with cop friends. They're often surprised when I tell them I'd happily pay the fine for carrying…because I'm alive to do so.


Not illegal to carry in national parks, just illegal to discharge a firearm.

I read that post and immediately thought... what? Where are all these signs. So many chuckles and discussions with cops over something that hardly exists.

He was allowed to resign from Flower Mound after being inappropriate with young girls. Unreal.

He left both girls there after killing the parents. Not sure the pedo angle is correct.
But who knows?
It's just tragic and sickening.


Well, he may have just panicked. They could've been screaming their heads off and he just killed two people so I guess he figured I gotta get the hell out of here, someone might hear them and come. It doesn't really make sense though why he would just kill the parents.

I still think they were his target. But regardless, what a piece of garbage.

See this is the problem. He should've been fired and charges should've been at least brought up. They may not have been carried through, but just letting people go when they do bad things is not OK. This seems to be what the Democrats and liberals and lots of education just wants to do today. I mean, look at the woman in Cincinnati basically making excuses for those thugs up there for being drunk, etc.

Well, that picture I posted was from an article about him being caught for the crimes so it may not have been this mug shot, but maybe another image. But it's definitely the same guy.

Sometimes you can just tell someone is going to be trouble.


Unless he looked really different with a smile, I can't imagine hiring a thing like that to teach it at school, especially an elementary school.

I'm sorry it may not be fair but there are just some people that just don't look right.

Have yet to see an article, but a radio news story said the girls' relatives credit the parents with sacrificing their lives for their girls

Maybe they fought the perv long enough for the girls to run away or get help?

Regarding the lack of charges, this points out the lack of courage among school officials and boards. They would rather cover their own mistakes, and shuttle this piece of trash to someone else's district.

Decades ago, we had a thief in my small farm community. When he finally got caught red handed with evidence, the lawyer blamed the cop who saw him steal, and slandered the witness who also happened to be there

Once he went to trial, a dozen or more people went public with stories of how they had caught him stealing, and he conned them into giving him another chance.

I had about $500 worth of items stolen in the same time frame. Due to the nature of the items, the timing, and the location, I am 99.99% certain he was the thief.

So I have little sympathy for people who simply didn't renew his contract, when he deserved charges

You defend yourself and/or family and not worry about the repercussions. I'm sure there is some sort of basic charge, like negligent discharge of a firearm, but who is going to write that ticket?


Depends on the state. Shoot a bear in California in self defense and they will throw you in prison for life for denying a bear to a meal. Do it somewhere like Texas, and they'll tell you it was a hell of a story.

Spot on.

The principal who failed to report him should be fired. And this is a great lesson for parents. GO TO THE POLICE when your child reports inappropriate behavior. The schools will many times brush it under the rug.

Speaking of beating. Let's hope he gets one in prison.

Beating? Here's hoping he has little hands and frequently drops his soap in the shower.

From what I've been reading, his behavior seemed inappropriate at times, his behavior revealed some red flags, and he seemed like the creepy kind of guy who might abuse a child. But none of these are crimes. There was nothing technically to report and no charges to file. Just a general creepiness and perhaps a few minor protocol infractions. Maybe they did a few internal investigations and found nothing beyond minor infractions & creepiness. We don't really know based on what's been reported. Proactively firing him (or not renewing his contract) based on those red flags is what it sounds like they did, and I applaud them for it.

It sounds like the schools didn't cover up a crime; it sounds like they probably prevented one.

And yes, I agree that nobody should have hired him in the first place, and I guarantee they'd agree with as well. But sadly, there aren't enough teachers to go around and sometimes schools have to scrape the bottom of the barrel.

Can you post links to your reading materials? Full disclosure: Do you know the principal at Donald ES?

Again, parents, go to the police. Post about the inappropriate behavior publicly on social media with names. Contact the new school if you find out a dangerous teacher has moved. Do anything you can to get the word out. The schools will sweep this under the rug to protect themselves.

He confessed. His DNA found at the scene.

Identified and tracked down by video of his car, a Kia Stinger.

Ok, that dude looks weird as ****. If that last shot is the actual mugshot, what is the first photo? It looks like a mugshot too.


That was the photo that was in the article on Fox News. Originally it had him next to a photo of the parents, but I cropped the parents out.

So it was either some kind of ID photo or a previous mug shot.

I'm going to bet dollars to donuts that the principal did report him.
