Just me perhaps, maybe I missed it; but the law enforcement handling of a
recent situation strikes me as a little odd.
They are unusually quiet. In view
of several high-profile and tragic attacks on schools, we, locally, have Zachariah
Peterson who, in an online statement, threatened to go to a local Christian
school and “mow down,” “execute” teachers and administrative staff. The school, located in the Portland Metro
area, has not been specifically identified.
Refer my previous post:
Peterson was arrested reportedly by the Oregon State Police
and lodged in the Multnomah County Jail.
He has been charged as an x-felon in possession of a gun – as I
understand it four guns. His bail was
set at $100,000. There was some
indication, early on, that federal charges were pending; but nothing has
materialized.
This arrest occurred September 11th, and with the
exception of the initial, somewhat perfunctory reporting of the incident, there
has been little or nothing since. Why?
It makes me wonder what is going on – a significant public
interest arrest – and no reported follow up in more than two weeks – no official
statements. What’s up with that? Was there some problem with the arrest? Was the arrest and the circumstances
misrepresented? Is Peterson otherwise
occupied with a pending psychiatric evaluation?
Has he been released on bail? Was
there some substance to Peterson’s claims of abuse? Why hasn’t the school been identified? Why hasn’t the school been called upon to
comment?
It seems like local media would
be all over this story. But, I don’t see
it. Strange.
