Armed Minnesota man burns down his own house, then blames Obama

According to court records, Bailey asked firefighters responding to the call when they would be finished putting out the blaze so that he could “start the rest of my house on fire.”


But by the time that firefighters had extinguished the fire, the home had been destroyed. Standing at the end of his driveway, Bailey explained to them: “You should know, you did this, the CIA implanted a computer in my brain and body.”

“What do I have to do, how big of a bomb do I have to build before the police respect me?” Bailey said, according to court documents.

At some point, Bailey told officers that he was the “first half-man/half-robot created by the government.” He said that the CIA and FBI had bugged his house, and blamed “Obama” and the “CIA” for causing the fire that burned down his home.

He also threatened to destroy his entire neighborhood with fire if he was released.

And that a mentally ill guy was still able to get guns. How do we fix that?

That's why they invented the term "pyschotic break".
All sorts of reasons an otherwise sane person could go ga-ga, including drugs, brain tumor, etc.

Heavily armed paranoid? If he votes, it's sort of obvious which way he'll lean.
