Quite a serious issue here...

hey all,

I am needing some input on this situation.

I called my folks today just to bullshit. They live about an hour away from me in a small town. Now, backtrack a bit: About 6 years ago, my mothers brother (not blood, both adopted) got sent to prison. He had been involved with some pretty serious stuff involving hard drugs and prositutes. I don't want to go into details as he is a head sick man and he hurt a lot of people. He included betraying his own mother by using her credit, under her name, while he spent hoards of cash. He eventually got arrested for other things other than identity theft, of his own mother.

Now, my grandmother (my mom's mother) had developed Alzhiemers and eventually passed away. Him, now in jail, and no one to pay off all of thesse thousands, of dollars of spending, my mother was there to help. They had to sell my grandmothers house, everything she owned went to auction, and my mom and dad helped pay off the rest.

Fastforward: More charges got added due to my mom having no choice but to clear her mother by telling police what he had did, and what condition she had found her mothers home in, due to his hard drug use.

She got a letter last year telling us his parole got denied, and he WILL get out, Sept. 2007. They said he has not gotten better and could be a serious harm to others.

That's only a few months away and my mom is scared shitless. It's not hard to find out where they live, and she told me repeatedly that he holds grudges, along with the warning we got from the federal prison, she is understandably scared. My uncle, her brother, somehow feels she is responsible for prolonging his sentence...which in a way, she did, for good reason.

I am moving out of Vancouver a few houses down from where they are. I am moving closer to them, not just to help protect them of "just in case", but it's a nice small town where I will be working and continuing my education.

This is my question: protection?. What do you suggest I do to protect us from a potentially dangerous man who may be out for revenge? I have no problem buying a firearm, but my folks cannot know about it, as they are against them, by all means. Me, on the other hand, wouldn't hesitate for a second to remove his inner skull material with pleasure. ;)

What do you suggest?

Restraining order.

If you are absolutely certain he'll come after your parents anyway, get a restraining order. With that said, if it's a possibility he'll leave you guys alone, I wouldn't get one, because it might provoke him.

Thats some serious shit man... have them get new locks on theyre doors and an alarm system just for added safety. and a restraining order.

EDIT: and go get that firearm. get a 45 or a 9mm. and dont forget the hollow tips :thumbsup:

im sorry but a restraining order wont do shit.

yeah other than a restraining order i would say get a rottweiler (maybe two). There great pets and watchdogs. They can hold your shit down.

then theres always extreme measures, like witness protection.

A restraining order is obviously going to be done, but that doesn't stop him from coming there when they're sleeping.

Security is another option I will mention to them. An alarm of some kind to at least warn them if something happens.

I was thinking one of those systems where if the alarm goes off, a call automatically goes to the police or something. That'd be good too.

Using a firearm is a last resort for me, but if I have to, I won't hesitate if he comes around here.

fuck a restraining order. buy a gun.
and don't waste your time or money with a 9mm. if you're going to do it, do it right. i'd suggest a desert eagle .50 ....but that's just me. :D

lol he needs to stop a man not an armored vehicle... seriously go out and 45 or maybe just a nice pump shotty like a mossberg or an M3 super 90 if u r feeling particularly bad-ass

a dog really might not be a bad idea. At the very least it would be able to let your parents know someone was there.
