Looks like they arrested the guy finally...

Just trying to process it. I work hard at not thinking about it, and this has made it front and center for us.

Mostly just really sad, I need a day or two to get really angry, I just never see the point to it I guess. It took enough from us already to give that up too.

I did some reading about what happened to you, Bruce.

I am glad they finally know who did it, and can prevent him from doing it again. I know right now you must be feeling kind of a whirlwind of emotions.

After having done your best to get past this, now the pain starts all over again.

I hope that things settle back down for you, remember we are all here for you.

I would be feeling the same way but just remind yourself that he didnt succeed in murdering your snakes. Yours was a miraculas story so contain yourself if they actually show him on the news. Dont go running off full of hatred with thoughts of revenge. I have a much better idea and a much happier thought...

Make more snake babies!!!

Bruce, this guy surely must be mentally ill. The fact that he is homeless only serves to confirm this. Anger would be wasted on him. You are already successfully past this incident. He will now go to prison or an institution I'm sure. it's best just to be glad that you are in your shoes instead of his.

Sound and solid advice.

If he's broken, as seems to be the case, then getting mad at him really is just wasted emotion.

You're ok, Jerome is ok, the rest is just gravy.

Yeah, there is a lot of homeless people that are.. well.. don't have too much going on in the head.

At my family restaurant in Tempe we see homeless people kind of often (digging through our trash can.. hey, free food, you're at a restaurant so that's the right place to be digging in). It's really sad, but some of them are kind of.. not there. We had this one throw our newspaper stand through one of our stained glass windows someone made for us a long time ago. It happened during the night. Luckily nothing was stolen but the window had to get replaced.

After typing out an incredibly long and wordy cathartic response I promptly (or not) timed out.



So I guess this is the part where I go.... and stand... over there.

Catharsis is good. And it matters not one bit if anyone knows you've had a cathartic experience as long as you've gotten out what needed to be out.

You can't change what happened and you can't fix what's broke.

Don't dwell on it and you'll feel better. There is no winning the "what if" nor the "I should" fights. Not with this guy.

I HATE it when that happens. That's why I just stay logged in whenever I get on the site, it's a lot easier.
