Maybe before you just watch a video you should first ask what the bastard was up to that brought him before a judge. He was getting ready to be sentenced for attempted battery causing substantial harm. You may come back with "attempted", how much harm can attempted inflict...but just in this medley alone the judge was knocked against something, a guy defending her had to have twenty five stitches, and he dislocated the shoulder of another.

I have two brothers, both have attempted murder causing bodily harm, might have been great bodily harm, as it was. Here's the thing, one of them was extremely dangerous and probably shouldn't have been let out to live in society again after he'd done that. There's a reason he ended up that way, beaten a lot as a child but the well being of society should come first over compassion for someone because you think they learned their lesson.

Seventeen and a half years later I didn't even know he got out. He just showed up at my door one day. My sister, who didn't know any better from having lived most her life sheltered in a foster home, decided to give him a place to be paroled to. Yeah she ended up regretting that. When it went south she had to have her house wired and armed herself. I ended up taking him in at my shop to live in the basement to keep him from being in direct contact with either of our families. I knew what he was capable of but it was the best solution to keep him calmed down. His parole officer was of no help. I even called him one day after he'd violated his parole several times and I told him if I survive the attack I am coming down there and I am going to do the same exact thing to you that I survived. He told me don't call there threatening him.

So it's like 90 degrees outside and I am in the attic putting on an attic door. My kids and their friends thought I was nuts. They asked what I was doing and I told them never mind what I am doing and do what I tell you, if I tell you to run, you run, don't look back, get to the attic, throw the door down, lock it and throw everything you see on top of it. Get to the window and call out for help, if I don't make it don't stop, keep going.

One day the sheriff shows up at my shop. He asked if my brother was there. I was standing behind my chair cutting someone's hair. He comes up out of the basement and the sheriff said "your sister said", and I am nodding my head no and I couldn't control my legs they were shaking so bad, the sheriff stops and he's looking at me, he says to my brother lets go outside and talk. When he said that, "your sister said", all I could think of was "god knows she what she'd say, she doesn't know any better". Anyway he came back in and said my sister accused him of mowing down her mailbox with his truck because he believed she was holding his mail from him that was still going there. He denied it to the sheriff but there really wasn't anybody else who'd done that. After he violated his parole a few times they put him in a supposed locked facility....but he'd just crawl out the window and show up at my house in the middle of the night. I couldn't report it because he'd just get mad and do something crazy. I mean really, they'd failed to do anything like actually violate his parole and send him back. I was already putting myself at great risk trying to convince his girlfriend to run for her life. I'd tell her find somewhere, anywhere, friends, relative out of town to stay with until he went back or found someone else to focus his attention on. She'd just turn right around and come back with him and I always had to pray she didn't tell him the things I said.

Than one night the knock came. The police were at my door. They wanted to know if my brother was there and I said no. I said he'd been getting out late at night from the place he stayed and showing up here. I told them I never said anything about it because I didn't want him to go on a nut about it. They told me well he went on a nut. He killed his girlfriends brother in law who came to her rescue as he was stabbing her. Seven stab wounds she survived but he died on her doorstep defending her. It took them almost two weeks to finally catch him, we sat on pins and needles the whole time regardless of the fact I knew we were being well protected until they caught him.

Maybe, just maybe there's someone else out here in this world living through what I went through for months, always worrying about where is this guy, will they let him out, will they tell me, will he show up again....only this time the system worked, obviously the guy is insane to go after a judge. Not to mention he's a three time felon. Who else has he injured, maybe even killed, not all states have life sentences for murder. He's where he's suppose to be, she isn't the problem, not this time. Until you live the fear you'll probably never understand it.
