believe me, my faith in god is the only thing that kept me from putting my hands all over him.Wow, not sure if I would have had the same strength as you guys had. If someone had done something like that to me, I pray that The Lord would stem my anger and keep me calm and peaceful, however if the offender lived everyday for the rest of their life not sure if they'll be greeted by a 7mm RemMag if they left the door, that would help me sleep at night.
A few years ago, my cousin and I went shooting with one of our high school friends and his dad. His dad was a devout Christian who actually did missionary work every year, and never actually shot a gun before that day despite having a .22 rifle and a .410 shotgun. At the time I had a DSA SA-58 (FAL clone that has since been sold due to the barrel rusting out), and that was the biggest thing we had that day.
Anyways, during the post-shooting merrymaking, the subject came back to when were in high school. That dad mentioned that one of his daughters used to be in drama club with a very particular rotund male drama teacher. He didn't go into too much detail, but he said his daughter wouldn't talk to them about some "incident" concerning said teacher, despite certain evidence suggesting something very bad happened. He lamented that his daughter wasn't the same since then. Immediately after he started asking me about my SA-58 and where I got it, and then made a joke about how .308 would be far more effective at going through fat than a .22 LR. We all took it as a joke, but he kind of just smiled in a thoughtful way.
I realized at that point that he was likely fantasizing about revenge and that I should probably choose my words carefully. I simply told him that the rifle was around $2500 and took me over half a year to get (which wasn't a lie because I didn't realize the rifle I ordered was made to order). That seemed to eliminate that thought as we moved on to more jovial subjects afterwards. That situation did make me think, however. What would I do if any of my friends or family had something similar happen to them, and then turn to me for advice or assistance in seeking revenge? I would hope to be the voice of reason and find a way to tell them it's a fools errand, even though deep down there's a part of me that agrees with them and would want to help them. I guess all you can really do is give support and be there for them.
there is a way that inmates can tell based on there doc number. they're waiting on him.maybe not my place, but if you find where he is sent to you could start a pen pal chain with his fellow inmates, it is rumored that they have a dislike for child rapists. Sometimes karma just needs a helping hand.
Smokes for the whole block, except for that one guy who...maybe not my place, but if you find where he is sent to you could start a pen pal chain with his fellow inmates, it is rumored that they have a dislike for child rapists. Sometimes karma just needs a helping hand.
You know how one gets caught?there is a way that inmates can tell based on there doc number. they're waiting on him.
they can't even send him to the "safe" (specifically for those chomos and rapists) facility in new castle. somebody is waiting on him there too
too late. i understand what you are saying but...You know how one gets caught?
You post things online and run off the mouth in private or public.
My advice, shut the **** up.
oh yesHopefully all of you can put this behind you now. Be there for the little ones. They need you.
I'm not going to tell you that.a few people have told me to show compassion...
yeah right.
i wish i could express how much i appreciate all of the love, thoughts, and prayers i have received since this started.
maybe we can plan a shoot out in the next few weeks
i've been focusing on my babies and keeping my thoughts from going to prison before the rapist does.Hopefully he will continue to catch losses on more charges.
Good to see you @grillak , I was worried we hadn't seen you in awhile.
thank you.You are in the right lane.
The Psych textbooks are full of case studies where people have done well after tragic experiences when there is strong loving support for the long term after it. Be that strong loving support crafting their future.
Since you can do nothing about what has happened, focusing on what happens in the future for your loved ones is the wise choice.
All righteous men hunger to see justice. I believe it always comes around, but it is seldom in the time, place and way that we would want it. I had a girlfriend murdered in 2002, while she was sleeping in her own house. Rutledge and Eberly will see ultimate justice before the final judge, no matter what the present legal system blunders. I am counting on it, but staying focused on not letting it eat up today and tomorrow.
