Motive Revealed For Five Homicides in West Virginia



Sharon Kay Berkshire, Murdered By Former Boyfriend

Here's one more example of a thoughtful West Virginia man who took time from his busy schedule, to show his former girlfriend what he thought of her having fun with other men. No one was watching him even though he had a history of violent crime. But in academic Massachusetts where geniuses control the state government, the public safety priorities demand that local police employ psychologists for harassment and to try to provoke violence from a law abiding 70-year-old elder citizen.

[From article]
In 2001, Hunt was convicted of wanton endangerment with a firearm and sentenced to five years in the West Virginia prison system, Kisner said. Hunt was convicted of abduction and use of a firearm in the commission of felony in 1999 and sentenced to three years in prison
Kisner said Hunt dated Berkshire about two years before they broke up. Berkshire filed domestic protection orders against Hunt in 2013 and 2014 but dismissed the orders and resumed the relationship with Hunt, WTRF reported, citing Kisner.

[From article]
Police say a towing company owner killed his ex-girlfriend, two men she was having a relationship with and the owner of a rival tow truck firm in West Virginia.
Police say the shooter, Jody Lee Hunt, killed himself after about a 12-hour manhunt Monday. State Police Lt. Michael Baylous and Monongalia County Sheriff Kenneth "Al" Kisner on Tuesday revealed the motive for the rampage during a radio interview on West Virginia MetroNews.
Police say the shootings started Monday morning when the owner of a rival tow truck company, Doug Brady, was gunned down at his business. Hunt then killed his ex-girlfriend Sharon Kay Berkshire and Michael David Frum, who were together at a house, before he went to another home and killed Jody Taylor.

West Virginia Man Charged With Killing Sheriff

[Last updated Thursday April 27, 2013 at 9:21 PM ET]

US gun laws may conflict with HIPPA, and state privacy laws regarding medical records. The federal law also demonizes all persons with a history of mental illness. Nonetheless universities as prestigious as Harvard University encourage their students to enter mental health programs to get a taste of psychiatric love. This voids their Second Amendment rights when they are students. If they are ever arrested, the police and prosecutors can describe them as having "a history of mental illness."



Suspect: Tennis Melvin Maynard, 37, charged with killing Sheriff Walter E. 'Eugene' Crum

[From article]
Maynard passed the background check because data regarding his medical history hadn't yet been entered into a federal database that exists to keep the mentally unstable from getting guns.
[. . .]
Federal law prohibits the sale of firearms and ammunition to individuals with a history of mental illness. States are required to share the names of mentally ill people with the national background-check system, which was established under the 1993 Brady Bill.
