Prosecutor: Wyoming Shooter "Went Hunting" for Drunk Homeless People

[img][/img]

A Wyoming man accused of killing one man and wounding another at a detox center this weekend was reportedly resentful and “hunting” for homeless people he had observed drinking in local parks.

Roy Clyde, 32, was arrested Saturday after he entered the Center of Hope detox facility through a back entrance, walked into a client area, and shot two men who were lying down on mattresses inside: Stallone Trosper, who died on the scene, and James “Sonny” Goggles, Jr., who was wounded.

Clyde reportedly placed the gun down and walked back out of the detox center as other clients and staff members began barricading themselves in a bathroom. He was arrested not long after.

According to the AP, Clyde—a Riverton, Wyoming city employee—indicated that he was “tired” of cleaning up after the city’s homeless population.

2. Nobody home in there. He looks like you could shine a flashlight in one ear and out the other.

4. He was 'tired' so he applied the GOP's 'Second Amendment Solution' to whatever they don't like.

6. Oh! But if he didn't have a gun he'd have used something else.

for many years to come. He'll be getting free housing from the state. He won't be cleaning up after homeless people where he's going, either. Uff da!

Quitting his job would have been just as effective and less consequential, but here again, I'm applying logic to a situation in which a psychopath is devising the most toxic resolution imaginable.
