A good friend of mine has been having a problem and had escalated to someone shooting through the neighbors house while occupied. They caught the guy and he has been known to have mental problems in the past (PD new about this). They also found the weapon used and arrested him. That was a little over a week ago. He just got word today that they let the guy go with a restraining order to not get within 1000ft of either my friend or neighbor. Well the guy lives about 250yds from my friend and about 150 from the neighbor. The judge said he could go back and live at his house, well within the 1000ft ruling. Now my friend, his family and the neighbors are living in fear waiting for this guy to flip out again and do something more. There is much more involved that I do not want to put in this forum. My friend has genuine reason to fear. This guy needs to be locked up or made to abide by the order of protection and find another place to live until the criminal phase has been completed. This is a major problem, letting those out who have shown they are a serious danger to society. I hope and pray that we do not read about my friend in the paper or see it on the news.
