Hudson, Wis. / Neighbor believes alcohol led to standoff at home

The man who shot up his home during a seven-hour standoff in Hudson, Wis., and fired at officers before being shot by police had an admitted problem with alcohol, a neighbor said Monday.

[Sad]

Alcohol kills. Think this would have happened if the guy smoked pot? Not a chance.

[Spicoli]

Dude I agree. I would just play some video games and order a pizza but not fire off my guns.

[NoDoubt]

If he had smoked a joint instead, none of it would have happened. We as a society accept a lot of tragedy so we can drink. God forbid somebody would get high and mellow.

[Huh]

Someone does something crazy in Wisconsin and it's alcohol related - who'd have thunk it?

[No way]

Dont give me that BS! What about all your little gang bangers running their mouths and killin one another night after night in MINNESOTA? Shut up with the WI vs MN! It happens everywhere and anywhere!

i knew the father and we will just say him and his son both had mental issues

[Tom]

Hudson Resident I am not surprised in the least that there are some mental issues with Father and Son. Son is 19 and living with alcoholic 43 year old father can't make for a great life.
