On Tuesday in Alabama a man boarded a school bus and demanded two kids between the ages of 6-8. When the bus driver refused and tried to stop him he shot the driver and took one 5 year old boy. He took the boy to a bunker under his house. They have been in contact with the suspect and know that the boy is okay. The kid is watching TV and eating. The suspect had not been very nice in the past. He had threatened to kill kids if they went on his property, he had beat his dog with a lead pipe, and he was just going into trial for menacing some neighbors and firing his gun in the air at them because they damaged a make-shift speed bump. Jimmy Lee Dykes was the suspected shooter and he had built the bunker himself. Sometimes he himself would stay in it for days. Police are talking to the man through a PVC pipe and trying to reason with him. There was no reason to believe the man wanted this child because of a relation only because he wanted a hostage situation.

I feel like terrible about this. It makes me sick. Why would someone want to kidnap a little child for the sake of having a hostage. When they finally get the kid this guy is going to jail so he might as well give it up. If you were that paranoid you should be in a mental hospital already not going free roaming around. I think what he did in the past also affects now because he has not always been nice and now he is taking it to the next step.
