My husband graduated from HS with the Dallas Village Rapist. We went to church with his whole family. He was in seminary in Dallas and going to be a preacher. He was arrested a few weeks after his 2nd child was born. He turned himself in and confessed a few weeks after he had been arrested and released on bond. I think he raped or sexually assulted 10 women in a certain area of Dallas. He said he watched porn before going to rape and I think he usually said he was going for a run. Supposedly he put on their makeup, etc. He was from Shreveport and this happened in 1988.

I had a friend from high school who always seemed normal. Super nice guy, very intelligent, came from an old money Montgomery family. Never acted like his family had money or anything though. He even helped my cousin with the lay of the land when my cousin moved to the same place he was in(the Keys.) Everyone loved him.
At some point he started exhibiting paranoid schizophrenic behavior. Me and several mutual friends would get these cryptic texts from him about how people/the gov't were out to get him, like he was targeted. Deep conspiracy stuff.
He eventually went over the edge, and he spray-painted anti-government graffiti on the Montgomery Police Department, the Alabama Statehouse, and the entrance of Maxwell Air Force Base. shite like "“Kill the Zionist slaves secret society, secret police extortionists” and “All slavers die here” which were kind of in line with the kind of shite he texted his friends.
Apparently he expected to receive press coverage of his graffiti, and didn't really, so one day soon after he parked by the entrance to Maxwell Air Force Base and started firing his shotgun in the general direction of the base.
He then fled the scene, but someone saw him, and alerted authorities of his location. He made it to his(parent's) house, and barricaded himself inside, and had a 12 hour stand-off with police until he eventually surrendered.
He was ultimately only charged with discharging a firearm outside of Maxwell Air Force Base and received four years of probation. His grandfather was a judge, so he got very lucky.
Not really sure what he's up to these days, but I think he has stayed out of trouble at least. I feel bad for the guy. Mental illness is a son of a bitch.

Back in the 80's my brother was in Lafayette waiting on a job interview when a man walked up and bummed a cigarette from him. My brother felt sorry for him and gave him the rest of the pack and bought him a bottled coke. The guy thanked him for his kindness and walked to the end of the block. My brother saw a man approach said gentleman and shortly after the guy whom my brother bought the coke for broke the bottle over the other guys head and stabbed him in the stomach. Don't know if the gentleman survived.

Guy I played basketball and baseball with in high school killed his grandfather. Story goes he broke in his grandparents house to rob them and the grandfather walked in on him and he beat him to death. He was crazy in high school and would often threaten people but as far as I know he didn't act until he was out if school for 10 years and was married with 4 little girls. That was over 20 years ago, he might be out now?

Doing a Google search I found out my uncle and grandpa killed a pedestrian while driving a car in the 1930's by reading an incredibly descriptive archieved news story. And none of my uncle's surviving relatives knew a thing about it.
The poor bastard was a widower with seven kids.

Mike was my contact at his last place of employment when I needed hauling. He and I talked often and were buddies, saw that on the news after it happened and I was floored. nicest, happiest go lucky guy I would have thought. Guess you never know what can flip someone's switch!
Went to school with a guy on the coast back in the late 90s that ended up shooting two Long Beach cops before he got smoked by an off-duty cop. His sister was still a student at the school, talk about a damn bombshell for her when she got pulled out of class and told the news. Everyone knew the fckr was batshit crazy though.

The mother in this story was a friend of my sister. They had a bitter custody battle after a divorce, and on the first day the ex husband was granted unsupervised visitation, he took the kid up to the top of a building in Manhattan, threw the kid off and then jumped off after him.
Absolutely devastating story when we saw the news and recognized the mother's name.

Got another one. Several years ago on the north shore close to La./Ms. state line. Gentleman driving a company truck for a natural gas exploration outfit picks up a young local child about 9 y.o. brought her to a nearby rest area and raped her. Poor child was found wandering up the highway. He was arrested and sentenced to jail. Fast forward a few years the rapist escapes from jail breaks into a house I believe somewhere in North La. occupied by a woman with a handgun in her bedside table. I believe she shot him through his eye and blew his brains out. My understanding is the young girl grew up, carved out a career, got married and had children.

I was working for this guy's SIL when the FBI started investigating him. Before he got arrested, the SIL told us "The Fed's are investigating Connie Ray.".
We had no idea what the Fed's were looking into. I just thought "The Fed's" meant the IRS, and he was not being honest about his income.
After the arrest was made, the SIL would give us daily updates on what was going on.

When the Fed's raided the farm, Connie Ray's son Jamie "Rodeo" Alford was arrested for having an acre of marijuana growing behind his trailer, and he had a stuffed bald eagle inside the trailer.

MONROE, La., Nov. 22 (1979) (AP) — Connie Ray Alford owns a prosperous 300-acre cattle and chicken farm at Truxno, a onestore village in the red clay hills just south of the Arkansas state line. He calls it Welcome Home Ranch.
Mr. Alford was to go on trial Monday in Federal District Court, accused of enslaving two illegal aliens from Mexico and keeping them shackled and chained while they worked off a debt at Welcome Home Ranch. He pleaded guilty yesterday to one count of peonage in a plea-bargaining agreement that calls for the other charges to be dropped. He faces up to five years in prison.
A spokesman for the Federal Office of Civil Rights said the case was the first ever in which Mexicans rather than blacks were the victims in a violation of Federal antislavery and peonage laws, which date to Reconstruction. The case has become notorious in Mexico, where minority political factions cite it as proof that illegal aliens are enslaved in the United States.

Ole white boy was crazy.
I didn't realize Jessica Chastain was in this until seeing the movie poster just now. I thought Lawless was the first thing I saw her in.
