THIS MAKES ME SOOOO MAD. IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD?
Today got a postcard in the mail today from the DPS, once I turned it over it made me absolutely sick to my stomach. It also made me extremely angry... reasons are probably obvious. Any of y'all ever get one of these, and if so what precautions did you take? By the way, assuming I passed him while I was walking the dogs one evening... I may lose my grip and whisper "get 'em." Those pesky dogs, they weigh 150 lbs together.. they can be hard to control

5 year old victim, the dogs would be the least of his worries. In fact i believe the only dog suitible for him would be the bulldog .44 special.

Re: THIS MAKES ME SOOOO MAD. IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD?
I've seen my ridgeback do some nasty things to pigs.... this guy is 5'4 and weighs less than your avg pig at 133 lbs. My GSP might not do much, but i'm sure he would chew on the bones.
On a serious note, yall google the address, and look how close he is to the high school. (the high school is going to be at a east/southeast direction from his home.) Way too close for comfort.

5'4", 133 pounds.
My kids can take him.
Seriously.... Best thing to do is show the card to your kids and make sure they stay clear and travel in pairs.

No kiddos, so I dont have to worry about that. Just me and the wife, and she just swung by that address with me to scope it out so she knows where to avoid. Since I was there, I eyeballed it and the distance to the school. Put it this way, I can throw a rock from his front door to the school parking lot. I need to look up the law on this.

I thought they had to be at least a 1000 yards from schools daycares etc.. As far as I'm concerned these type of people should never ever be let out and should rot in a small cell. And I think I'm being generous when I use the word "people" to describe them.snatchel wrote:No kiddos, so I dont have to worry about that.

Well, I am officially 3 blocks away from about 5 registered sex offenders. They all live within a 2 block radius of one another. Why can't their be an island we can put these folks on? It's no secret most offenders are/beceome repeat offenders.

Yep. My house isn't exactly impregnable, but it's a risky idea to break in. And as far as mine and wifey's daily walks... well, I always have 2 dogs, and at least 22 little friends walking with me.

The biggist and worse mistake one could ever make is under estimating there oppent do to there small size. short guys are used to that and will exploit it for all it worth, trust me.

No doubt about it. I'm small... but I have been taught to react to with violence and extreme agression. My fighting weight is 250 & 6'5, know what I mean?
