Think About It

Revenge, ignore or vindication, that is the question~~

       Last December I had wrote about a very good friend of mine who had married a charismatic beast, then endured 3 years of beatings and verbal cruelty before finally drawing a line in the, protect my life, category with another beating, drowning attempt.  http://journals.aol.com/justaname4me2/InTheShadowOfTheIris/entries/1075 <the story of how this happened>

       I have to say, going through all of the legal BS, was enlightening and unbelievably frustrating for all those involved. How the court system makes a victim endure repulsive attacks, and allows for tiny little minuscule cracks in the system to work in the favor of the criminal and leans towards the 'rights' of the criminal is just disgusting, if not down right apprehensible.       

       The criminal is not in jail at this time, he does not have to wear his GPS unit anymore, forms of personal alarm systems, compliments of the state are no longer sponsored at my friends home. Sure, there are monster restraining orders in place and the criminal is on probation for the next couple of years, but he walks the streets. <No, he did NOT do the punishment with the crime, he had a damn good lawyer and the police department messed up some of their investigation which the bloodhound lawyer used to his pure delights>

       Interestingly enough, the criminals work, his self employment line of making a living, is a sub-sect of the type of business I am in. Meaning, our lines have good and potential for crossing over each other.

       I will admit here, that I have made sure and kept any and everyone in my line of influence, fully aware of this snakes capabilities and public criminal record. I feel that if you earn the right to carry the identification and conviction of Domestic violence and Battery and Assault and a few other choice kept charges, the whole damn world should know. He earned it, why not let the world be aware? <because of a few police faults, attempted murder was dropped, along with the majority of his sentence was suspended alaprobation time to hang over his head.>

       I guess I feel, there is no excuse to let this man slink into the darkness and pretend he's some sort of upstanding man. He's good like that, a regular Ted Bundy. I am not the only one that feels this way. It feels like there are outposts staged throughout this little city, keeping an eye on the snake and a hand on the telephone just waiting for more reasons to call the police on him. Trust me, there have already been a few reasons and the calls have been made.

       If he continues to break his probation, the huge jail time looming over his head is eventually going to come crashing down on his demented life. At least thats what all of us outposts are wishing for.

       The reason for my entry today, is because I received the call last night, indicating the Beast has moved shop to a new city to perform his line of work. I was appalled to discover he has moved his work and residence to my precious little tiny Mountain town. MY HAVEN, my little escape, my cabin.

       He was discovered drinking at the little local bar up there, it seems someone had hired him to do work for a new subdivision that is going in. Now, my little cabin retreat is only about 55 minutes from the city. So this isn't a case of a snake going to a new place to start over, or live a reborn life. In his field he has to go where the work is, and more importantly, where no one knows he has 15 judgments and 100 mechanical leans thrown against him because he doesn't pay people or bills.

       I have one set of relatives who live up there full time. My parents, two other sets of relatives and I, are classified as weekenders. I feel, in either the label of revenge, vindication, public awareness, and downright justice, it is again my duty to inform as many people up there, of the capabilities of this man.

       If it's public record, i.e. criminal record, and the public record of bad liens and judgments, this is not a case of simply slandering someone for my own enjoyment <although I do get a generous amount of perverted smiles from such antics>

       Starting first with making sure the one and only bar owner is perfectly aware that this man is on probation and with that knowledge if he serves such animal he is also standing in the potential of breaking the law. Thankfully, I know the Bar owner personally, he's a sweet little man who always eats at the Sunday breakfast given by the Senior Center. (note: because he's an alcoholic and severely failed his alcohol evaluation, he is NOT allowed to drink the entire duration of his probabtion>
      
       I will resist the urge to print the mans mug shot and post it to every fence post around, I promise. But I have no qualms about making sure the whole town knows a snake has arrived.

       Now, on a last note, I understand that reading this may make people believe I am playing a dangerous game with a proven criminal. Yes, but rest assured, everything the outposts and I have done and will continue to do are done from the anonymous side of a telephone, directly to the police, or on the sly with no trace back to personal accountability possible. We like to think we are smarter then the criminal. 

       The worst thing I've done that could get me busted or directly blamed, is this entry.

Now think about it, would you, or would you not, do this very thing if someone you love had been hurt in such a horrendous way by another, and he was released back into the world to look for his next victim?
