., I don’t understand your comment, “the victim has made others his own victim”…what does that mean? Isn’t “the victim” presumed dead? Please explain.

Yea, Im with you. I have heard that the “victim” has made others his own “victim” and Bruce Day is a good man, good Father and is NOT a dangerous man.
I wish Bruce Day all the luck in the world, may God be with you Bruce.
Maybe we need to form a Bruce Day support team!

To Pensacola Resident -

I have known Bruce for many years, although I haven't talked to him or had any contact with him in quite a while.
When it was first released that he was "armed and dangerous" I knew that wasn't possible. Not Bruce. Besides, if he was the "armed and dangerous" sort the news media and law enforcement made him out to be, how has it come to pass that he purchased a pack of cigarettes with no incident at a local Tom Thumb, around the area he was being sought at, and then made his "trek" 100 or so miles north, and back to his father's residence, where he cooperatively turned himself in? He never even attempted to hurt/kidnap, or whatever else maliciously you might even have implied in your response.
And if the circumstances surrounding this case are based on "circumstantial" evidence, then so be it, it'll all be played out. I don't know the circumstances, and neither do you. We'll just have to hear it all out in due time.
I do feel for him and his entire family. And like "Nokomis Resident" stated, don't jump that bandwagon so fast! I do agree with that. Only limited amount of information given to general public from law enforcement and news media allows all to form opinions that are not supported by evidence. I, too, think it may be hard to convict a man under such circumstances. But I guess we shall all see in time.

There is so much about this story that people who are not familiar with this case do not know. The alleged victim is not someone most of us would want living next door. I have known Bruce for many years, and although he is not a saint, he has ALWAYS held down a job and been a productive member of society, in addition to being a Father to children who adore him.

Don’t jump on the bandwagon to convict Bruce just yet. So far, there is motive with no proof and I think the court will be hard pressed to find a jury of 12 who would convict a man for wanting to protect his family and property.

The helicopter held him away from the campus where he might have hurt/kidnapped/whatever someone else. Pull up a Google map of the area. There’s a whole lot of really THICK woods in that swamp. It would be like finding a needle in the haystack.

I believe that he got help, this distance from where he started to where he turned him self in was to for to travel in this short time.

Goes to show that the helicopters are not the end-all, save-all pieces of equipment so many people made them out to be. Certainly not valuable enough to justify the $850,000 annual operating costs they were previously costing the county. Once again another fine decision by Sherrif Morgan and good to know that they are still available should we need them in cases of emergency such as this.
