Same dog park.

He was a very angry person all the time.

Antivaxxer
Go bag always ready
Anti mosquito fogger thing on his backpack or bag that was always at his side
Always had a gun with him
Repeatedly complained about gays.

I'll never forget the time he was complaining about his son's autism being caused by a childhood vaccine.

I told him the latest studies showed a positive correlation of autism with with maternal use of Tylenol during pregnancy.

He started raging at me and yelling so I left. As I was leaving he walked quickly towards me, yelling. But .. there was a chain link fence between us. His rage, the hatred in his eyes and his words made me think he was going to shoot me.

I have told that story at least 6 times to various people over the years. About a lunatic antivaxxer who I feared wanted to shoot me.

Last time I saw Gerald was about 5 years ago. I'm not at all surprised he murdered someone.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who knew him more recently.

I'm shocked he made thorough 2019-2020 without shooting anybody.
