    To those taking up for him…shame on you. He pointed a gun..in a drunken rage…at a female! IT DOESNT MATTER what led up to it. He made the decision to grab a gun and threaten a female. We see this every day and then the person is released and the female takes him back in and then the cycle repeats itself but the consequences are worse. I don’t understand how he was bonded out(I know I know it’s due to his prior record and/or other factors) but it’s my belief that anyone “charged” with a crime like this should be remanded into custody for a time longer than this. Hey big man, it’s not too late to change your ways. I personally know the results of drinking too much and what it will do to a body, your relationships and/or employment. I pray that you see what youve done here and CHANGE. Prayers for all involved

    Alcohol does not make people stupid, if consumed “responsibly”. In this case, I am taking a wild guess mind you, it seems as if, the fella could have endeavored to get a bit loaded that day.

    As someone had mentioned in the comments, no one knows the entire details, with this short article. Who knows, the female could have drew a weapon on him or hit him prior to the arrival of LEO’s. She could have been drinking with him and intoxicated too. They could have children together, he decided to man up and not say anything about her aggression in order for her to tend to their children. No one really knows from the story.

    IMO, It is amusing people jumping to conclusions and being the LEO’s, Judges, and Juries.

    When one reads an article and responds with a reply,one must reread that article and one’s response, to get the accuracy in which both are written…. I learned the hard way….

    “J” re-read the news article. “Buckley allegedly pointed a .22 caliber rifle at the victim during a disturbance at a home and threatened to kill her…”. Victim is referred to as HER. Grandma for ALL the facts.

    You people, so quick to judge. You, like I, know nothing of the circumstances other than an allegation that Mr. Buckley consumed a large quantity of alcohol, and allegedly pointed a .22 at the victim and made a threat. You assume, I suppose because of the domestic violence allegation, that the victim is female and free of any responsibility. What if it was a teenage son, threatening the spouse, would that cause your response to change? What if it was a majority aged daughter caught in the act of burglary, would that change you mind? I don’t know if it was any of these situations, but I’d rather not judge based on the limited information provided here.

    Alcohol is not an excuse, it’s a problem. It’s also a huge waste of money and there are no benefits. It just makes you stupid….obviously.

    Mr. Tough Guy threatening women.

    Dear victim,
    Get out now, he does not love you at all, that is not love it is possession and control. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

    Anyone suffering from domestic abuse should seek help, it is difficult but you must get out of the situation.
