Gently waking from a restful night, I think to myself, “Another beautiful day in paradise” cup of coffee, nice breakfast, kiss the wife, and off to the office. With an 8:00 appointment canceled I have a little time to check the forum. –Oh look- a message! Maybe someone wants to help with my build- cool. And then … this… thanks Dan. Conceivably you believe I need more crazy in my life. Perhaps choosing to pursue a career in mental health is an indication that I need an ever growing pool of absurdity to swim in? I assure you I do not. This is my safe place. This is where the relatively ‘normal’ people live- salt of the earth types, gathering to share in creativity and community.
But since you asked… A quick search turns up what ESmalik noted- the first “report” may be altered. Several other sources do not mention ‘molest’ - and while I agree with Darwin in part “I hate thieves, you work hard for your stuff and people think they can just take it. Eff that!” I’m not convinced that amateur castration is called for. One report included the thought of a ‘legal annalist- “You are allowed to engage in conduct that is reasonable, necessary and lawful to protect yourself or your property, but one may argue that these efforts were neither reasonable nor lawful,"
Taking a look at the various news reports is an interesting study in bias- taking a look at the picture below might leave you wondering which ones are the deranged. All 5?
Diagnosis? Narcissism, maybe- something less pleasant, probably. Good ethics would encourage me avoid assessing at a distance. It is interesting to read that Robert bonded out of jail, while leaving his brother and brother’s girlfriend in jail. In this case, (and for my personal safety) I must conclude about poor Robert that- It's not his fault that he can't behave, Society made him go astray. Perhaps if we're nice he'll go away, perhaps he'll go away.
Now my question is why would AvgJoe choose, for his third post, to post altered potentially libelous information?
