Imagine you’re just minding your own business enjoying the day. Than, in broad daylight someone comes into your property to set it on fire?!?

Please excuse the samurai sword. :facepalm:

 
More and more we're seeing this kind of crap play out in TX, of all places...talk about a death wish!

Had I been close by when he lit that fire I likely would have taken him out of the gene pool..... just .out of camera sight.

"After he lit the fire at the house he attempted to splash gasoline on me too, officer." :cool:
 
My Ex B.I.L. was a career LEO. He told our entire family one time: A dead man cannot testify against you in a court of law.

Take the meaning of that however you wish. ;)
 
As an aside I don’t want anyone to think for a moment.

I’m making fun of those people who have, had, or dealing with someone they care about that has mental illness.

I’ve had to deal with lots of people getting out of jail who had some kind of mental illness or diminished capacity to learn.

In this specific video I thought it was just crazy how something so outlandish was happening.

This forum was created to show case how video technology has absolutely provided & helped the common man / woman in the ability to offer evidence.

As the other member noted the sheer fact this happened in Texas???

Which affirms it doesn’t matter where you live. Crazy will happen when you least expected and video technology is available to everyone!
 
No comments on the judge's costume? :rolleyes:

It is tough to get gasoline to light with a cigarette. You may even extinguish your
cigarette in a puddle of gasoline too! Now if the fuel is vaporized, ( the vapor is heavier than air)
the mixture is just right and the cigarette is close to the ground then boom.

When the video appeared I asked myself when did casual Fridays become a thing in the court?!?

Regardless, he should have been held for a mental evaluation.

Turning this guy loose back into the community on good faith bond conditions?? :facepalm:
 
I really wish sometimes the algorithm wouldn’t send me these links. :banghead:

Regardless, this came in a few days ago. Honestly if this isn’t a combination of mental illness to how can I absolutely rip another persons heart out:

It's too bad she didn't get the help she needed when she needed it...but it is very sad that the 2 innocent children became victims of her distress and misery. :(

As far as I’m aware there isn’t any video of the last few moments before all three go over the railing.

The only thing that crossed my mind was two small children will never be able to see, live, experience those simple moments like graduating and moving the tussle from one side to the other while a proud parent is watching.

They will never experience that first prom date and dancing or get a kiss.

Never mind walking down the isle to marry someone they love and have children of their own. :(

As of this writing they haven’t found anyone and doubt they will. As such not much closure for the two fathers and their respective families.

A friend sent me this 10 years ago. Untreated mental illness in downtown Toronto. Poor guy is clearly in distress but he's allowed to roam the streets until he hurts someone or hurts himself.

Edit for context:

My friend and I both were (he still is) subway operators. This gentleman was the source of complaints on a regular basis as his yelling and the apparent stabbing motions were quite distressing to many people. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. A woman was set on fire on a bus a year or two ago but a mentally ill person.

Yes, unfortunately you can go to almost any country and see / experience people with all kinds of mental illness.

Spans from people who had parents using drugs so they are a few screws loose.

To people who get injured in an accident literally loosing a few screws.

To people who had an injury became addicted to whatever pain killer. Which caused all manner of problems which affected their mental health.

To the all too famous PDSD from military veterans having endured all manner of traumatic experiences in war such as being wounded or seeing others literally being blown apart. :(

Nobody seems to put in much effort to help out veterans who served their country!

Ultimately, this is something that will continue to be a serious issue for everyone.
