In this Oct. 17, 2019 photo, the Rev. Tommy Richardson, who serves as the chaplain for the sheriff's department, poses in Baker County, Fla. Richardson says his community is a forgiving place. Some Baker County residents express compassion for a teenager who wrote a school shooting plan and says he is in need of help. They are showing less mercy for a judge who released him without requiring mental health services, saying she failed their community and the boy she spared. (AP Photo/Bobby Caina Calvan)
