Judi Rock was his realtor. She said the same time as the sale took place, his wife was dying of cancer and his anger grew for Taiwan. "He doesn't like Taiwan's current situation trying to depart from China, trying to betray the Chinese," Rock said."Betray Chinese politics and cultures so he stands very strong against the Taiwanese." And on Sunday morning police say Chou walked targeted a Taiwanese congregation in shooting that killed Dr. John Cheng and injured five others.His former neighbor is still processing the news.

"I feel like his presence is still here, ya know. He was next door. It's that dark feeling that you have," Orellana said."I can't forgive him. He was my friend. Now he completely ain't. If he did that, he got to rot in jail."

Suspected Gunman in Deadly Laguna Woods Church Shooting Set to Make First Court AppearanceThe suspected gunman was booked on one felony count of murder with the use of a gun, enhanced with special circumstances of 'lying in wait;' five counts of attempted murder, and four counts of unlawful possession of explosives. As a liberal mostly against the death penalty, I believe if you’re a mass shooter you shouldn’t get the option of prison. You shouldn’t get the option of a drawn out trial. We saw video of these shooters killing people. The Buffalo ass streamed it. Just rid them from earth.
