A neighbor of the Odessa mass shooter says she reported him to police last month—after he threatened her with a rifle for leaving trash near his property—but cops couldn’t find his house on account of it having no GPS address or electricity. The woman told CNN that Seth Ator, 36, would often sit on top of his home and shoot animals at night, which he would then go and retrieve afterwards.(Snip) Ator would often sit and sleep inside his Toyota Camry with the heat on when the weather would get to cold, the woman said. He also had no running water.

Sorry, but if police can’t find an address in their own town without GPS, they should find another line of work.

Dipstick couldn't pay for the utilities, but he has money for guns and ammo. Sounds right.

No running water and no heat sound like a possible drug problem. The guns and described behavior could also be due to drug induced paranoia/psychosis.

Another extreme “nut job” who should not have guns and obviously should not have been on the street. The excuse that the police could not find his house is “sketchy” as the police could have contacted the complainant who would have pointed out the location of his house.

Wonder if the neighbors ever called the police to report the disturbing behavior, killing animals. Animal abuse, particularly in one's youth, is often seen as a precursor to killing humans, sign of a serial killer.

In most neighborhoods, if a guy sat on his roof shooting animals and slept in his car with the engine running, neighbors would have called the authorities. Is it OK in that town to shoot at anything in a residential area? And don't most people know by now that killing animals is a recognized precursor to killing people?
The police chief said he didn't want to release the name because such people enjoy publicity. Strange thing to say. The shooter is dead. He isn't watching TV. Some scrutiny on that town is in order.

They could have knocked on the door of the caller who reported him?

And we should turn in our weapons and allow the police to protect us? Seriously?
A more likely scenario is that the police didn’t want to spend the time to really deal with this, so they did nothing. Just like the Parkland school cop. I’m not blaming all cops, and I support law enforcement. But we all need to acknowledge that some, in every profession, don’t put in the required effort.

Why is this a mass shooting and Chicago, every weekend, is not?

Golly. I guess police never found people's addresses the days before GPS.

The best way to get the cops to act is to say that "I am going over and blow the .....; head off if he doesn't stop beating his wie, kids and dogs. Cops will be there before you hang up the phone.

Another nutcase with a gun. Why was he allowed to have a gun? Clearly mentally ill, but nobody was keeping tabs on him. Lived in a house with no electricity or water. A squatter? The house does not sound livable. Homeless? He was living on the 'fringe' of society. Police seemed to be avoiding him. Maybe they considered him armed and dangerous? They couldn't 'find' him. Recently fired. Why? What are the odds the guy was using drugs?

They red flag a former Marine because he said he'd like to kill Antifa thugs, but left this clown alone even when he had a criminal record and reports of him shooting animals from the roof of his house. Every mass shooting has something like this as the back story. It's only after the nut job starts shooting people that the complete failure of gun laws are revealed. We don't need new guns laws, just enforce the ones that are already on the books.

"If you see something..." Oh never mind. Probably couldn't locate the address.

When you look back at the history of the so-called “mass shootings” it becomes readily apparent that the perpetrators of those deadly criminal events had previously been reported to local police as being people who were not mentally normal in many respects, or were otherwise previously known to local police due to them perpetrating a number of minor incidents that show that the involved person is obviously mentally deficient. The problem in the USA these days is that there is very little legally provided for “prior restraint” by local or State level authorities when it comes to potentially dangerous mental cases, until after they perpetrate a serious incident up to multiple murders.
When it comes to the mentally ill population group less than 5% are considered to be potentially dangerous to themselves or others by mental health professionals. It is not far off to consider that within each legal jurisdiction within the USA these days, that there are a couple or a few people, already known to local police, who have a good potential to perpetrate a murderous violent incident anytime something in their life experience “triggers” them. Those are the people that government at all levels and mental health professionals should be focusing on identifying to ensure that they do not have access to firearms or other dangerous weapons or are otherwise removed from the streets.
