Let’s say he really is sorry. Maybe this was an eye opening event for him and he realizes he needs help. Wouldn’t this be exact how he would or should respond?

To be clear, I have no idea if he is sincere. But you don’t either. It annoys me when people immediately declare definitively he is just faking it because in your mind there is nothing he could possibly say that would show real remorse. That just makes no sense because it is the kind of thing that some people - not all - really would be remorseful after seeing in a video how horribly he behaved.

The only thing this guy cares about is fooling everyone else. Period. Full stop. Now, his cover is blown - he is nothing more than a frustrated, angry, raging arsehole, and now it is finally publicized, as it should be.

The guy probably is a douche, but when you say things like this with such authority, you kinda look like a douche yourself.

I truly hope you don’t mean that. If that were the punishment meted out for what he did, prisons would be filled to the brim with people committing relatively minor, in the scheme of things, offenses.

You can’t give him 30 years because he happened to be pissed off by BLM instead of any number of other things.

As a taxpayer, I would have absolutely no problem with that. Someone like this does not change for the better overnight, if at all.

What does “someone like that mean”? Someone who commits a simple assault, or someone who commits simple assault while espousing conservative viewpoints?

You really would not want anyone who commits simple assault to serve 10 years. Without priors, most people would and should serve little if any time.

If you want him to serve more because he dislikes BLM, that thankfully isn’t how are system works and, it would be dangerous for everyone, including you, if it did work that way.

It has nothing to do with politics, though you may want it to - this man is hair trigger, and should not be around most people.

You jail someone for what they have done. Not a general hair trigger.

If you jailed everyone who, at least at times acted with a hair trigger for 30 years, you’d have mass incarceration on a scale never before seen.

Yes, and this guy should definitely be jailed for what he did. If you have the same superior attitude that he does, clearly you are not going to agree.

30 years for grabbing someone’s arm and knocking someone else over? Think of how many people have done the equivalent, not to mention much worse.



If you really think they should all be jailed for 30 years, you have a radically anti-progressive view of criminal law.

Needs a pretrial diversion with community service. These jail talking people are nuts.

For a VIOLENT crime against two people. I bet you want incarceration for non-violent protestors out after curfew.

No. For protesters out after curfew they should be asked to go home.

Nice vocabulary?

Are you that neighborhood terrorist that wants your way, no matter how unreasonable?

What sixty year old acts like that? You know he’s had trouble with other humans along the way. Aggressive behavior doesn’t pop up out of nowhere.

Exactly this. Imagine what is not on camera - I am guessing a good number of his neighbors have cameras, at this point

+1, these are the things said about the innocent people tagged on Twitter, etc. It would be good if we all tried to be conscious of how baseless statements about people we've never met can be harmful. And considering recent events, imagine if the wrongly ID'ed persons were someone of color like Ahmaud Arbery.

Thank you for helping find him. Can you tell us more about his antics in the community?

PP who said he pushed you in the Trader Joe’s parking lot, can you tell us more?

Does he antagonize most of the neighborhood residents, or does he just pick one or two (he finds "threatening") to target? Is he OCD/relentless/doesn't know when to stop (it seems so, from this incident)?

So intriguing, I've seen this before and it really is fascinating - the gaslighting, etc. Such a troubled man. So glad he is found out, finally - I bet this has been going on for years.

People like this can be potentially dangerous. Do many neighbors pick up and relocate, to live their life in peace, once they find out the truth about him? Does he have minions that follow and suck up to him (assuming he is dangerous) for appearances, to stay on his good side (ie: not get shot)?

He sounds really easily set off - I wonder how many try to pacify him, and how many refuse to play his twisted games.

You are right. This guy seems like the most upstanding citizen. I would want to live right next door. LOL.

Well, he didn't come forward by choice, and he did hide the evidence in about (4) different places, so yeah.

Sarcasm misplaced. I was talking about making BASELESS claims. If those who know him slam him, I'm all ears.

But it’s a lot more fun to simply join the mob attacking him.

It can if you suddenly develop a brain tumor, or early onset dementia.

I haven’t read the entire thread. So someone may have already said this. Attorney here. I think he is acting on the advice of counsel and speaking from a script intended to minimize the consequences of his actions. They are likely looking for a deal of some kind where he agrees to anger management. I don’t know if jail time is a possibility for what he did. If it is, They are trying to avoid that. Trying to persuade the prosecutors to reduce the charge is also a possibility.

Question for you, 10:01 attorney--
Do you think the input from neighbors, perhaps incidents of inappropriate anger or actions, would be able to be introduced into the case if it is settled out of court?
