I have commented on this incident previously. I grew up in this town and lived there up until about 9 years ago when we moved our family out of state. We are still in contact with friends who live there and have heard a good bit about this. A little background info was left out of the Gateway Pundit story.

This man, Theodore Deschler, stabbed a 16 year old boy at a gas station in a nearby town: https://www.wbbjtv.com/2023/05/07/stabbing-under-investigation-in-selmer/

Gateway Pundit should have disclosed that this man has at least some criminal charges in his background, imo. As far as I know the boy did not die. The man got out on bail and then this happened. If this incident were just about the stabbing, then local law enforcement or TBI would have been involved, I think. As far as I know, local law enforcement wasn't involved at all. The FBI was still there a day or so after this went down, with the property blocked off, searching the home.

I'm not making excuses for the FBI, but this area, while it looks like Mayberry and like the perfect little small town, has a ton of crime. We moved because of the crime and how bad it was getting. Drugs are a huge issue in the whole area. Memphis is less than 100 miles away, and the closeby neighboring small city, Jackson, is one of the more dangerous small cities in the US. Jackson is known as the "hub city" because of the routes that cross in it, and legal goods are not the only things that pass through the area.

There's a lot we don't know still, but I don't think this guy was some innocent guy that they just busted in on and murdered. I can let you guys know if I hear anything else, but I can almost guarantee that there won't be any local news about this past the initial report.
