Dallas Shooter's Dad Blames Liberal Policies For His Son's Custody Battle
I'm very sorry that Jim Boulware, James' Boulware's father, is suffering such grief and loss. I wish it were not so, but it is, and it's difficult for any parent to lose their child. He has my sympathy.
He does not, however, have my sympathy for his claim in this CNN interview that liberal policies created the situation that caused James to lose custody of his son.
In fact, if liberal policies had been in place, it's likely that Dallas police would not have had to dodge a hail of bullets, that James might be alive and still have custody of his son. But they weren't.

(3,263 posts)from what I can make out . Turd had a history of violence.
James' mother sued and successfully won custody of James' child based upon his unstable mental health. That is right his mother had his son not liberal protection services .She sued -yes the grandmother -so bullshit grand pappy on the liberal government office initiated the custody crap.
There was nothing she could have done for James himself, because the laws concerning conservatorship for the mentally ill were gutted right around the first time he acted out. There are no real mental health services in states like Texas to deal with James, assuming he would have sought them . And so, after a 2-day trial in May of this year, James' mother was awarded custody of his son, and James and the child's mother were given supervised visits to be overseen by a third party at their expense.
I don't know whether schizophrenia was the issue, or whether it was something else. But his mental state clearly endangered his son, and the court acted to protect the child, as they're expected to do.
Enabling behavior
In the CNN interview, Jim Boulware says it was "liberal policies" that invited Child Protective Services into the mix, and caused his son to be broke because he couldn't get a job due to the domestic violence charges on his record
If James Boulware was so broke, how did he find the $8250 to purchase an armored vehicle from South Carolina? How did he manage the funds to buy weapons and body armor? Was that a loan from Dad, or did he rob a bank? His child payments were set at $150 a month in May
I wonder if the asshole egged his mentally ill son on and provided the cash for the armored car etc.
