Former Massachusetts Mayor Stabbed Outside Cannabis Dispensary, Suspect with Lengthy Rap Sheet Arrested
[Breitbart] “I’m not so much concerned about his criminal past,” Fall River Mayor Paul Coogan said of Gonzales. “I’m concerned about his mental health and his ability to reintegrate into society.”

Will Flanagan, former Democrat Mayor of Fall River, Massachusetts, was sent to a hospital where he is being treated for “significant injuries” he suffered after being stabbed outside a cannabis dispensary he owns.

The Fall River Police Department said Flanagan is listed in serious but stable condition after he was stabbed outside of his Cosmopolitan Dispensary on Monday evening, according to a report by Fox News.

Flanagan had served as Fall River mayor from 2010 until 2014, when he faced a recall election after he was accused of brandishing a gun to one of his political rivals, Jasiel Correia.

As for the suspect in the stabbing of the former mayor, 31-year-old Corree Gonzales was arrested after the attack was caught on camera, according to a report by WJAR.

Gonzales has since undergone a mental health evaluation in the Democrat-controlled state, where a doctor who performed the evaluation testified in court on Wednesday, recommending further evaluation to see if the suspect can stand trial.

This was not Gonzales’ first competency hearing, WJAR reported, noting the suspect “is known to the Fall River Police Department and has a lengthy rap sheet.” # id) ?>

1 Free ranging psychotics with knives seems like a bad plan.

2 “I’m concerned about his......... ability to reintegrate into society.”

No sense being "concerned" about that which will never happen.

6 I have a proposal. Why waste usable kinetic weapons on the drug boats? Drop these Wastes of Oxygen (like this CHOAD) from about 10,000 ft. Think of how horrifying it would be to even survive that as a narco?
