A couple of weeks ago I posted a link in the Evil MFers thread about a Kansas man who shot and killed his wife and four kids before killing himself. The man had a long history of criminal charges, including assault, battery, attempted rape, and kidnapping. Shortly after the incident, a next-door neighbor, Lisa Spoon, wrote an email to all the members of the Kansas HOR, attempting to start a conversation about the loopholes in current firearms laws, which allowed the gunman to purchase and own a firearm. One legislator responded with unbelievable callousness. > Wilborn, a McPherson Republican who didn’t seek reelection this year, replied to Spoon, and everybody else, early Friday. > > “You folks never miss an opportunity, to promote your gun shaming hypothesis,” Wilborn wrote. “More people are killed by illegals with a criminal record. Please spare me.” Spoon, a gun owner herself, was understandably shocked by the response. > “I’m a little shocked to be honest because there was no compassion, no empathy, no nothing,” she said. “You know, when you start an email out that says, ‘you people’ — he doesn’t know me. I tried to write the most logical, sensible email that I possibly could muster, and immediately he went to ‘you people’ and ‘immigrants shoot more people in the United States than anybody else.’ > **[Winfield resident shocked by Kansas lawmaker's response to her plea for gun...](https://kansasreflector.com/2026/08/21/winfield-resident-shocked-by-kansas-lawmakers-response-to-her-plea-for-gun-safety/)** > > Winfield resident Lisa Spoon emailed every member of the Kansas House to start a conversation about loopholes in state law that allow people convicted of violent crimes to own a gun ---

Michael Shaun Diehl Jr. has been arrested in Greensboro, NC. Diehl worked in the Guilford County Jail. (He has been fired along with his arrest.) When ICE detained somebody, the evidence is supposed to be reviewed by a judge within forty-eight hours in order to keep the suspect in jail. It was recently discovered that Diehl had forged the judge’s signature on the document. When this was discovered, past records were checked and they discovered nineteen other cases where Diehl had forged a judge’s signature. Ironically, Diehl was given bail and has been released from custody. I’ll admit the report I read didn’t state that Diehl is a Republican but I’m feeling pretty confident on this one. ---
