Utah Man Charged After Boss Found Employee Hit List on Desk
A Utah maintenance technician was arrested after his supervisor at the feed mill where he works found what looks like a hit list on [his] desk with more than a dozen coworkers listed as targets, according to a probable cause affidavit filed by police.
Kevin Michael Jerman, 56, a U.S. Army veteran who claims to have served in Iraq, is charged with making terroristic threats, which is a felony. Jerman, cops said, had the firearms, knowledge, and experience to carry out the plan he had written down on paper, especially with his military background.
That plan, the affidavit says, read as follows:
Bring 9 mm with 3 clips = 36 rounds; Bring 9mm assault rifle with 2 extended clips = 20 rounds; Bring Smith & Wesson .22 caliber with extended mags, 3 = 65 rounds; First take out two in shop 2; Then take out who ever [sic] is in loadout 2; Then the mineral office 3; Then whoever is in the hand add area 2 or 3; Next take out skid loader operator 1; Then the office take out 3. Then one in CUG loadout.
14 Total kills. Have to take out internet so no calls from landline. Build cell jammer so signals could be jammed. If police arrive take a position high up to snipe use .308 for this.

Yea this is a real bad thing, but our society seems to have almost no support system with regards to mental health issues, other than locking folks up and hoping they can straighten themselves out.
I've often wondered if having something like a violence hotline, similar to suicide hotline, might prevent some of these folks from going over the edge and doing great harm to others and themselves. Maybe something funded by gun and bullet sales.
