Holed up: Suspect hides on property for decade

[Dinner]

"The gang members in the hood would be upset if we arrest gang members therefor we will not arrest gang members!"

Or how about we just arrest everyone who has a felony warrant out against them because it is the right thing to do?

[DinoDoc]

I dont know that he did, but the kids belong to Mom first.

l2read. The father has custody. This is essentially a kidnapping and the authorities are illegally consigning the children to the care of a lunatic.

[Berzerker]

you were telling me about violent nutjobs?

[Dinner]

Pull a gun on a cop and you're a violent nutjob.

l2read. The father has custody. This is essentially a kidnapping and the authorities are illegally consigning the children to the care of a lunatic.

That's the real crime here and the main reason why sitting around for a decade shouldn't have been an option.

I know he won in court, and I suspect the authorities decided in his favor because of her father. That aint good enough...

[DinoDoc]

Now you're just making **** up. Or to use a lawyer term, assuming facts not in evidence.

[Dinner]

Anyone want to bet the nutjob didn't let the kids go to school like normal kids? (They might have been sent to, gasp, their father who has actual legal custody) Anyone want to bet they sequestered them in their 19th century style compound and thus made them uneducated rubes who have no hope of ever getting a real job? Not to mention kidnapping them from their father and then illegally holding them for over a decade with no running water, no electricity, no working sewage, and god knows what else. That in and of itself was the main reason Texas cops shouldn't have just sat around waiting for a decade and instead should have done something.

Why don't you go get them, Wyatt Earp?


Seriously, the article says why. Berz spoke of it in passing. Damned Waco and the Branch Davidians. Ruby Ridge. People whine assing around about them. The Law is screwed no matter what they do in cases like this.
BTW, the father got custody by default since the mother didn't show. It says that in the article, too. It's still a mother's world, in general terms.

[Dinner]

Now you're just making **** up. Or to use a lawyer term, assuming facts not in evidence.

It says it right in the OP. The former wife took the children, the court ruled she was so unstable they gave custody to the father (which almost never happens) and yet because she was hiding out with her felon father on their weirdo compound the cops never came to enforce the law. You have a deranged grandfather/father who attacked a cop and tried to take away his gun because the cop pulled him over to give him a ticket for not registering his car and who then went on the run for over a decade and you have an ex-wife who kidnapped the kids because she didn't like the fact that the court found her too loony to raise kids. To top it off the bastard hasn't paid his taxes in years. The whole thing should have been resolved a decade ago simply because the child kidnapping made it a major issue yet here we are with the felon wackos still in charge.

Wyatt Earp would have solved this case years ago. On another note I rather like the architecture of the whore house Wyatt Earp had built downtown here in San Diego. It's rather a nice looking building and the restaurant is made even more interesting given the Wyatt Earp connection.

[Dinner]

God damn it. Give me the legal cover and a few spare men and I would go get'em. I'm very confident that if I went in at 4am I could catch them completely unawares and if I didn't, well, I did get 39 out of 40 on the old Army firing range. Someone ought to give me a medal for shooting this wacko.

Does that make the use of the children as hostages less abominable or the violation of the Court order less illegal?

Wyatt Earp's old 19th century "hotel" which just so happened to offer female companionship on a per half hour basis.

[SlowwHand]

No, but I don't think I would classify it as hostages either.


Nice hotel.

I can't believe I'm doing this but I'm agreeing with DD twice in one thread. The end is near!
