"Politics aside, this fellow obviously suffers from emotional distress," said Trantalis. "I'm glad he didn't do any harm to himself or others I commend our SWAT team for being able to negotiate a peaceful ending to this."

Former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale hospitalized after he was armed and threatening to harm himself, Fort Lauderdale police say
A tense situation unfolded at a home owned by Brad Parscale, the former campaign manager for President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, after his wife called police to say that Parscale had guns and was threatening to harm himself.
Police were called to a home in the 2300 block of Desota Drive in the Seven Isles community of Fort Lauderdale on Sunday afternoon. Records show that the home is owned by Bradley and Candice Parscale.
Fort Lauderdale Police Chief Karen Dietrich said the encounter at Brad Parscale’s home was brief.
“We went out and it was very short. We went and got him help.”
... alternative headline -
armed suicidal fascist allowed by police to enter mental health facility without suffering multiple gunshot wounds
All this fun stuff is coming out just in time for the debate.
A individual suffers a mental/emotional breakdown and threatens suicide and you think that's "fun stuff"? Real classy there...
I'm all torn up about it/over it.
No. Not "fun stuff." Simply the end result of those who become ensnared in the Trump orbit of lies, deceit and fraud.
He is safe and in the hospital and getting treatment, so spare me the 'outrage'.
All these Trump lieutenants deserve their downfall, although we don't need anyone to get physically hurt.
wait till he finds out he's unemployed, getting audited by the IRS, and is served with divorce papers. bummer.
All of this fun stuff has been coming out for many years but the far right wing doesn't see anything wrong with being far right wing fascists.
What's that old saying? "in for a penny in for a pound" - Trump cultists have too much emotionally invested in Trump to ever admit their mistake. They would rather see the country go down the drain than admit Trump was a mistake.
I could have told you Parscale was dangerously nuts!
Who associated with trumpturd isn't nuts or a crook?
He probably got involved with Stephanie Alexander!
Not the first and not the last sorry sucker to lose their shit after serving this administration.
Poor Parscale. Does this mean he's going to lose his condo, yacht and Lamborghini? He should have known the Trump was a 'fleeting piece of flotsam'.
This is no doubt how many of the musicians on deck will end up, playing their soothing music while trying to tell everyone the ship is unsinkable as the Trumptanic slowly goes under into oblivion.
Becki Falwell calls 911 after drunken Jerry hurts himself
Jerry Falwell Jr. got extremely drunk and fell down a flight of stairs, causing his wife Becki Falwell to call 911 say that he’s covered in “a lot of blood right now.”
The incident occurred a week after Falwell Jr. blamed his streak of recent scandals on an alleged years-long affair between his wife and a hotel pool attendant. The pool professional, Giancarlo Granda, came out later that same day saying that Jerry Falwell Jr. supported and participated in their sexual relationship.
Lot of sick fucks associated with trumpturd.
They virtual celebration and near to grave dancing over the personal midfortune of another human being is simply a sad reflection of the secular progressive left and how far humanity without Gods goodness can slide.
Pretty sure that Trump has nothing to do with any bodies interpretation of a religious person. He is much more insane than one who simply believes in mythology and superstition.
uh...yeah. If Nancy Pelosi were to fall down and hurt herself you and your buddies would be all over the place dancing. Remember all those photos that a certain fishy commenter used to post about Hillary's falls and such?
Save your self-righteous indignation for those who give a fuck
bwah ha ha, no need to look any further than the white house for that.
fell down a flight of stairs
Serves him right.
Having once suffered from mental illness myself - clinical depression (but in case anyone wants to comment on that I've been fine, no longer requiring medication, for the past 16 years) I feel sorry for the guy. In fact I feel sorry for anyone who attaches himself to Trump, but not for those who are so stupid-stubborn that they refuse to admit their ignorance for supporting him. I think a good sign that my illness has long been cured is that I DID admit my mistake in first having supported him (but only because of his support of Israel).
Except in the long view will Trump's actions on Israeli status prove beneficial?
I have no argument against what Trump has done to benefit Israel, but as for your question, who knows?
Fair enough. I however, would be cautious.
I'm assuming coincidence. He no longer works for Trump. I don't see why a release of Trump's past tax information would elicit that kind of response.
He was removed from his campaign management duties after the OKC rally debacle, but I think he is still working on Trump's campaign...or what's left of it.
After Parscale was relieved of his overall campaign manager duties a few months ago, he continued on as Trump's digital campaign consultant or whatever title they gave him. I never heard he left the campaign entirely but then I don't follow Brad Parscale's doings on an ongoing basis.
That's what I don't understand. Would the weekend bombshell about POUTUS's tax returns really cause him to have a mental breakdown?
If there were multiple violations of campaign finance laws under Parscale's leadership, that might be a reason for him to experience all kinds of freak-outs.
"Coincidence?" I think not. Trump money is dirty money.
Strange how the grifters going along with all the money laundering like Caputo and Parscale suddenly having mental issues. The Trump campaign is already being investigated for shady dealings so while I hope anyone suffering gets the help they need, this will not make it all go away.
it lays the groundwork for a nutcase history in plea bargaining and sentencing
