The case of Jimmy Lee Dykes


A Navy veteran who served honorably, but has become so estranged from society that he patrols his property lines and built a bunker on his property.

He shot a bus driver and kidnapped a child recently but the signs of his estrangement from society have been obvious for years.

What are we as a society responsible to do to prevent such tragedies?

He is a veteran and as such the Veterans Administration owes him some care.

How many veterans like him are there out there?

How do we care for these folks so they do not become headlines?

It is a fine line between crushing someones rights and protecting them from themselves.

I submit that we are not doing a very good job of caring for our fellow man.
