Why is this person characterized as a "convicted felon" in the lead section, as if it is his primary occupation, when the 2014 firearms charges were dismissed and his current term of imprisonment arises from his criminal behaviour on a single day in 2018. I think this characterization is giving undue weight to the subject's criminal behaviour and not giving enough weight to the rest of the subject's life. These words introduce a bias to the article because they potentially introduce a misleading editorial characterization of the subject, especially if none of the sources make this characterization in the first place. This article is supposedly a biography of a notable living person, however, saying this person is a "convicted felon" at the beginning of the article implies the subjects claim to notability is that of being a "convicted felon", rather than as someone who planned six murders using firearms and was arrested by the police before he could successfully commit any. The subject was not a "convicted felon" at the time of his arrest in 2018 and the conviction status only arises as a result of his criminal behaviour that day. While this article includes some biographical background, the substantial coverage of the article concerns events on a single day of this person's life. Since the conviction arises out of events that the subject is actually notable for, instead of characterizing him as a "convicted felon", these words should be replaced with a statement that sets out what the subject is really notable for: presenting firearms in a school cafeteria as a precursor to committing six murders. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:45, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
