They need to trash the whole thing and just hand out .00 shotguns !!!!!
Background for this rant -
Pt 1) 26 months ago, I went over to my Ex's house to pick up my kids (a weekly event). When I arrive, I learn that two nights prior her boyfriend knocked her to the ground and choked her unconscious, and that he did so in front of my then 4y/o daughter!!! When she regained consciousness, she called the cops and the pissant punk puke fled like the chicken**** rat's *** that he is.
Pt 2) While my Ex is gathering up the kids for me to take, this same SOB, who has managed to evade the cops, KICKS in her front door and come in yelling "Where are you, ***** !!!" Only now, instead of finding a 5'2" 110lb scared-to-death woman, he's suddenly face-to-face with my 6' 285lb ex-Recon and HIGHLY pissed-off self. Then this numbnuts tries to lunge past me and grab her, to drag her outside so he can "straighten her out about the other night" !!! Needless to say, I commenced to pounding his stupidity into snailsnot. He's crying and begging the neighbors to call the cops and save him. And he's three inches and 40lbs bigger, and 14 years younger than me. And, an ex-con from some Prison.
Well, the cops do come, and they drag his sorry hide off to jail, take statements and pictures, the works.
Pt 3) Now 26 months later, I have to take another (the 11th so far) day off from work to go to court over this punk MF, only to get a call tonight from the DA telling me that his lawyer is probably going to push ANOTHER postponement, and there's a good chance the judge will grant it since he's such a low priority case !!! They have EVERYTHING they need to bury this rat-bastard - Statements, photos, physical evidence, prior history, the works. And he's managed to drag this out for over two years !!!
What the Hell is the point of our legal system anyway !?!?!?
