BACK STORY: since it is easier than finding my old post.
There was this creepy guy hanging around my apartment complex. He freaked quite a few people out including myself due to extremely bizarre behavior. This was not limited to caressing and humping his car. It was suspicious but nothing I felt I could call the cops on. Until the morning he slashed the tires on 7 vehicles, failed to blow up another car by putting a rag in the gas tank and came after my husband and another man with a knife.

3 days later they let him out of jail and he was back staring in peoples windows and creepily smiling at people. Cops wouldn't do much but I called DOZENS of times and so did many other people. Finally he got arrested again. 3 days later they let him out again. I was on my back porch smoking when the taxi let him out. He held up his release papers and just smiled at me with the creepiest smile ever. Landlords said they couldn't do much but were working on as they had already gotten a restraining order but couldn't tell us much. Several residents got a restraining order.

He then let the air out of out tires and the landlords had his car towed. Everyone was under the impression that one of the neighbors was his sister. a tiny non-english speaking Asian woman who was less less than 5 feet tall and maybe 80lbs on a good day. We kept wondering why they didn't evict her if she was the reason he was here.

Well apparently she locked him out and he broke a window to get inside and the landlords had enough. We didn't see him for a long time. Finally the landlords told us whole story one he was back behind bars. The sister was actually his girlfriend and it was a domestic violence situation and they were having to tread lightly because her life and her children's lives were at stake and the police weren't taking it serious.

After she confessed that he had been abusing her toddler/preschool age children the maintenance crews stepped he broke a window to get back in and the police hauled him off. He was given a year in jail.

CURRENT STORY: And my stupid self putting myself in harms way.

A mere 4 months later and they let this f*ck out of jail. I was out out on my back porch smoking again and saw him. They changed the security codes to the building and I could see what I was 75% sure was him repeatedly inputting code to try and get the door open. After several tries I could tell the person was extremely angry and looked like he could get violent.

I ran inside and told my husband asking him if i should call the cops or not because I didn't a 100% positive I.D. on the guy due to distance. Hubby said he was going out there and confronting the guy. He didn't have shoes on and and I saw the guy heading around the building towards the girlfriends window, so I was basically like f*ck it, better me than those kids again. Not really sure what got into me because I spent months terrified of this guy, I grabbed a knife and my phone ready to call 911 and ran out the door. I saw fresh tracks in the snow leading right up to her window, so pretty much a positive I.D. in my book, but I didn't see him. Went around the building looking for him and saw my husband coming around from the other side of the building. Right then he drove past us in a car. We both looked him straight in the eye and and he drove off, neither of had the sense of mind to get a license plate number or notice the make of the car.

No point in calling the cops, they are useless and he was already gone. We will be telling the landlord 1st thing in the morning though. But Why the f*ck is this freak out of jail after only 4 months?

My adrenaline is pumping and here I thought the most exciting thing that happened to me this week was joining/not joining the Hare Krishna.
 
I think it's pretty common to serve about a third of your sentence and then be on parole. However, 99 chances out of a hundred, showing up at his ex's door id's a parole violation and that kind of thing can get him locked back up.

Usually, the district attorney is an elected position. A citizen who was so inclined might point out to the DA that being soft on child molesters might be a politically unpopular thing, should it come up during the next election. (There's probably a plea bargain involved in that light sentence.)
 
That's pretty cool that you and your husband stepped in @Fadeaway . Truly, I think if more people were viligent and protective like that it would save more people from harm. It's a lot easier for him to victimize a woman and kids that are alone than it is when there are other people willing to step in and stand with her.

Way to go!!! (Glad the creep ran though)
 
Hey don't be too hard on yourself for "putting yourself in harm's way!" Sure when we look back at those moments we're like, "Wow what was I thinking," but all you were thinking was about protecting other people. If the two of you hadn't been there, he might not have given up so easily!
 
Thanks guys. The adrenaline high is starting to wear off, but damn do I get pissed when I think about what he did to those kids and to her. For the longest time we were all perplexed about why she wasn't being evicted. I guess I should have realized it back then. Now I am glad that my landlords didn't evict her. If they hadn't worked with her she might not have told anyone and who knows how long it would have gone on. Scary thought.

@scout, I will have to talk to people who know more about the politics here. I live in the only state in the U.S. where there is no separation of church and state. I am not a member of the church so I don't know squat about the politics here.
 
I am not a member of the church so I don't know squat about the politics here.
Uh yes. And, depending on whether or not HE is a member of the church, and, if so, who he's related to, things could get complicated. But, there can be a point where even one of the chosen crosses a line in such a way that they get in serious trouble. (When covering for him creates more problems than it solves.) You might get lucky, he might be an 'infidel'. Hoping so!
 
@Fadeaway I would have done the same as you did.... I know it's scary now, but good on you for stepping in and doing something..... you rock!!!!,

Yeah, that is a troublesome creep alright. Prepare your own files about the criminal doings of this individual when you get a chance. Video tape his behavior, include all the relevant info like a cop would. The cops may not help but when you really realize you have to get rid of a threat then you get your own evidence and that evidence (video taping) can not be refuted in court. Then you can get help with a lawyer to get that piece of crap out of your neighborhood.
