According to early reports. the teacher who barricaded himself inside a Dalton High School class room and attempted suicide is Jesse Randal Davidson. His Facebook page is still up, and there is a rather interesting post on there from February 17th, just days after the Parkland shooting that resulting in the death of 17 people:

Seems Jesse Randal Davidson, at least according to his Facebook page is a big anti-gun, anti-Second amendment guy and wants something done for gun control. So what does he do? He ends up terrorizing Dalton High School and getting people worried that this could be another Stoneman-Douglas. Thankfully, Davidson is in custody and no one else was hurt physically.
Other than Davidson’s February 17th post, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of politics on his Facebook page. Mostly, Jesse Randal Davidson’s Facebook page has stuff about sports, animals and kids.
I wonder how long it will be before CNN tries to have a town hall with students from Dalton High School so they can say how scared they were when they heard a teacher attempted suicide. We’ll also see how long it takes Facebook to scrub the page. The guy looked pretty normal and didn’t post any extremist things that I could see at least on his Facebook account.
