HOW DID HE GET OFF SO EASY? HE'S AN ELECTED OFFICIAL FOR THE TOWN OF MOUNTAIN VIEW.

The gun just went off. It just happened to be pointed towards the kids head. Kids family needs to get a good attorney and sue him for all he's worth. Bail was a joke.

[larsonfamilyhouse]

Psychopath. 5k bond. What a joke. Judge must be a buddy of his.

[KatherineUribe-]

WTF! They let him out of jail?! Miscarriage of justice! That's a travesty!

[emsleywyatt]

It ain't standin' your ground if it ain't your ground.

Prayers to the young man who was shot due by this schizoid. This is one politician who won't be running for office again. Here is a shocker for you Metz, when you unholster your weapon you are responsible for all the bullets leaving said weapon.

Something fishy going on. They just let this guy out on a $5000 cash bond???? What???

[rev.dr.davidcole]

This man obviously believes he is above the law.

[vivianpatton]

What gives this man the right to walk up & shoot someone on Public property NEAR ur property ?

[donnaaskew]

His property needs to be checked out. He was hypervigilant in protecting something.

[robertmcbeth]

$5000 bail! WTF! Because he's an elected official. You or i would be in jail with NO BOND!

[LorrinAHamilton]

Off property & deadly force used.. he’s in BIG Trouble

[jharris]

That's officer's observation, I was a cop in the Navy back in the 80s and I'm also a sensitive this guy is a very bad dude

[janeicekaranja]

The owners life was not in danger and he should still be in jail.

[jamesgrayson]

What the hell is wrong with people????

[terihaynes-yfjb]

Accountability, nonsense. Public property! Town council member. Lying.

[lestermagee]

Sounds like the sheriffs office is defending the shooter

[MichaelJones-rnpq]

That kid won't have to ask permission to go on that property in the future. He will end up owning the whole thing after lawsuit.

[jeffreygoss]

Welp, here comes a slap on the wrist. I only hope the kids parents are wealthy enough to seek justice because we know the police and judges won’t

[birdlover]

This is outrageous! That boy needs justice!
