Details: 35 year-old Wayland Childs involved himself in a stolen property investigation and illegally held a suspect at gunpoint.
While the assault was not legal, the townsfolk support Wayland. The town has many red, white and blue signs in front yards saying “We’re fed up with crime in our community. We stand with Wayland.”
NO law will prevent crime. No law will stop criminals from getting guns. Gun Control only effects the law-abiding citizen and the politicians know it.
