Joseph D. Kadlec, 71, of Cambridge, Minn., was charged Tuesday with three felonies in the shooting outside the Isanti Police Department parking lot on Saturday. Authorities say Kadlec has been involved in at least five other road rage incidents since 2008.
"The reason he was issued a permit is because there was no indication in the required background check that indicated [Kadlec] was a danger to himself or others or was not allowed, by statute, to be issued a permit," Sheriff Russ Monson said in response to an inquiry Tuesday from the Star Tribune.
Monson then went on to explain that in each of the five earlier cases, "we have on record [Kadlec] was angry at someone for their driving conduct but never used any weapons, never assaulted anyone, never made threats and was never arrested."

(49,445 posts)Wasn't a hell of a lot of traffic to get angry about, except that those damn lights at the Highway 65/Highway 95 never went to blinker and it was a pain in the ass to drive through town at night. Nothing like waiting at a perfectly empty intersection at 1am....

(653 posts)The timing on that set of lights has been fixed , a few years back if memory serves. They were almost as bad as the sets of lights in North Branch, I35/95 intersection. Which has also now been mostly fixed.
If a car came off the ramp, the light would cycle immediately, even if the car just did a "casual stop" to turn right on red. Even a simple 5-second delay between triggering the sensor and cycling the lights would have been enormously helpful!

I moved into North Branch 3 years ago, and love the area.

There's no comment from the poster so it's just a waste.
