More fun with law

[simplyputsi 0]

Ok so I wonder what ya'lls take is on this. I send non threatening email to guys wife, who happens to be a long time friend of mine. I basically recounted to her what she said on the phone and told her that she was way out of line. I think the worst I said was where do you fucking get off. Anyway.
Husband, who I never liked, reads email and goes crazy on me. Calls like 5 times. First message is ok. Second is a little heated but still nothing bad. Then doesn't leave a message for a few calls.

Then calls in the middle of the night and leaves a very threatening message. More than once in his message did he threaten my life. More than once did he say he would kill me.
I get that he should be a tad mad, but I didn't call his wife anything or even threaten her. My email said you can't treat people the way she did, and that I would not put up with it anymore.


So anyway, isn't that against the law to threaten someones life like that??

Oh and he has emailed me twice as well, but I've not had a chance to read it.
Anyway.

It is against the law, I would say that's if you really are in fear for your life and are taking his threats seriously, you should probably call the cops just to be on the safe side!

Lessons to be learned.

1. Avoid psychos.

2. Psychos tend to attract idiots and other psychos. Neither is good.

3. Choose your battles carefully. It's best to avoid psychos--especially when they are paired with another psycho or an idiot. Both have an amazing capacity to pursue drama well past what normal people would consider to be its logical conclusion.

4. No need to make a big deal out of it, but document all this and report it to the police.

5. Keep a loaded gun handy.

I agree with Walt. Keep all calls and emails (you did tape the calls did you? At least the messages?) and report everything to the police. Make a complaint and the police should follow up on it. If you say you want that SOB arrested, you may have to make yourself available for trial and hire a lawyer, etc and that can be a hassle. However, I'm no lawyer and this is just a guess.

In Texas that would be called an assault by threat. Its a MC (same level of offense as a traffic ticket). If there was some sort of immediacy about it then the level of offense goes up. As in "I'm going home to get an axe handle and I'll be there in 30 minutes to kick your ass!" That's a higher offense. "I'm going to kick your ass." That's a Class C. I have no clue what it is in Georgia, but its probably reasonably similar.

Document everything (keep a log of time and what was said and what phone number) and you'll want to get a copy of your phone record from Ma Bell to show time, duration of the call and where the call came from. Call the police non-emergency line and file a report. At the least you have a documented history if in the future something more major happens.

Beyond that, I'm a HUGE fan of walking away and avoiding those type of personalities. Maybe I've been in martial arts too long, I just simply don't seek out or enjoy physical fights in my personal life.

Walt, I really do try to avoid psychos, really.
The gun thing, well since my incident at my condo it's not wise to come around me in any harmful matter. Get it.

Billy I do have the messages recorded, but now I need to get them off my phone and into something that I can use. I'll just borrow my roommates digital recorder. I already have a lawyer I'm paying to basically do nothing so far, so maybe I can throw this at him and see what he says.
I would think the last call I got from him is enough to at least get a restraining order issued.

That is what martial arts classes are supposed to teach. Avoid physical confrontations at all costs, and when you can't, then you hope the tools you learned will successfully put the dumb fuck on the ground long enough for you to get away.

Well after 15 years, I guess I've learned that lesson. Beyond that its also awareness. Seeing the threat coming before it becomes an immediate threat. I've posted the speech before, but it still comes down to sheep, sheep dog and wolf.
