Jan 5, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The reduction of social security cover has offended many elderly citizens, who have attained the age of sixty years. There have been huge discontent regarding the reduction of this cover and people’s anger towards the policy has been on an upswing. However, a man who has been identified as Johnny Lee Wicks could not curb his anger over the decision of curtailing the social security benefits and launched an attack in the courthouse of Las Vegas.
According to the reports, the man entered the federal building with fire arms and started open firing all of a sudden, which created a panic in the area. People who were present on the spot feared that multiple gunmen had come to the place for an unprecedented attack. However, it was later revealed that only one man had created the ruckus at the place and there was no threat to the society as he had been shot dead by the police officials.
People who had witnessed the incident stated that they had heard almost forty gunshots from the place and were panicked. The police officers present in the place tried to control the man but had to shoot him down ultimately as he was firing gunshots indiscriminately.
It has been reported that the sudden firing in the courthouse claimed the life of one court official and injured another. As per the reports, the court security officer had died and the Deputy marshal, who was injured in the shootout was hospitalized. Officials have not confirmed the condition of the person who had been hospitalized in the shootout.

As an educated scientist of politics and social behavior, and syndicated and analyst and author, I have warned publishers in the problematic 5th Circuit Court region (Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado areas) that the Civil Courts have forgotten the grave importance of a fair system to uphold the civilized order. Lawyers and judges who exchange the equalibrum created by proper procedure and fair play in the civil courts for “good ole’ boy” arrangements and illegal bribes keep cases out of their court. It comes with a consequence, costing “peace”, and is as predictable as Newton’s Law of Gravity. It costs society it’s own economic development (McCarty vs. O.U.). It cause a chain reaction that I graphed in syndicated letters. When the civil court breaks down, the civilized order breaks down directly behind it. The alternate route to man’s unresolved wrong is to try to resolve it himself. Unresolved wrongdoing ALWAYS alters the plaintiff’s life for the worse, and is the reason why they must resolve the matter they attempted to take to the courtroom to begin with. Violence and economic underdevelopment inevitably follow the court’s incompetence or corruption. The court looses its ability to function as the instrument it was created to be. A terrible downward spiral FOR ALL the civilized order. Human reaction is like the Law of Gravity it is so predictable.
He was pushed into it by the court! He needed help and was begging for a day in court in hopes of attaining help. Shame on the lousy lawyer and shame on the lousy judge.

Government consulting on violence should be an unpaid public service. Too many folks have gotten rich and powerful in the US by manipulating the minds of others into violent behavior, and contract the US to create new security measures afterward.
