The police know about him but aren't up to doing anything to deter him. I wrote the basic story on the Martial Development website... This guy has abused alot of people, he is convicted armed robber, and has assaulted and battered many people including myself. I am not afraid of fighting him but I am afraid of an ineffective police force and the legal hassles that would follow from me wounding or killing this man. I want my freedom. The only reason I live in this town is to enjoy a space that he has decided to lord over and dominate. Your rules are simplistic and ineffective to anyone who sees the same bully twice. Escape, polite conversation, enjoying small victories... this ape tried to crush my head with a large piece of lava... he tried to run me off the road with his truck. The law won't do anything and I don't want his shitty karma in my life... I am 47, newly single after 18years, and just want to be left alone. I have a little dog and a place I like to swim. How do I keep that with an ape like this making every moment outside my house a stressful nightmare? All this is well and good but not really…. like many people I live in a small community with a resident bully who abuses adults.
