In Midland City, Alabama a 5 year old boy got abducted by a war veteran, 65 year old Jimmy Lee Dykes. Dykes had a gun on him and stormed onto the bus, he demanded to have a child, the driver of the bus 66 year old Charles Poland Jr. refused to give him any child and asked if there was anything else he could give him. Dykes wouldn't give in, he shot the driver several times as all 22 kids went into cover. Dykes was able to grab the 5 year old boy and take him hostage in his own underground bunker. Wednesday was when the standoff began, and that was the date that Dykes was suppose to appear in court for an incident that happened in December with his neighbor. Not a lot of information has been released on the little boy. He does need medication daily for Asberger's syndrome and ADHD. The man agreed to let police put coloring books, crayons and his prescription medication into the bunker. Everyone is now praying that the little boy will come out safe.
My opinion is that if this war vet. had psychiatric problems coming out of the war guns in his life should be out of the option. He must have some psychological problem that would make him do the decisions he chose to do.
