Mark my words....he will only offend worse when let out. This didn't work for him, so he will find a bigger and better way to offend. He is a scary guy, and of course I'd like to say he needs help, but there isn't accurate help for all, and I think he is the exception...needs to be admitted to the psych ward indefinately.

The good news is, that eventually someone’s husband, boyfriend, father or the like will put his cell phone somewhere he is no longer going to be able to dial it.

I know one of the victims personally - and she is a single mother of three. The guy called her cell phone randomly and tormented, harassed, threatened, and scared the heck out of this woman. After he was in jail she was breathing easier and then she received several more calls from the jail! She never accepted the calls (obviously) but she was very upset that this man could continue to harass her even from jail. It was unimaginable that he was allowed to continue the very behavior that landed him in jail to begin with. The victim did call the jail and speak with the SGT that was on duty that night, so they were aware of what he was doing. Obviously this information was not passed on to others working different shifts. What I don't understand is why he was continued to be allowed to use the phone when that was the entire reason he was there to begin with??? These victims should not have to continue receiving harassing phone calls just because this man cannot stop himself from getting some sort of sick satisfaction from scaring random women.

Obviously this guy just isn't going to give it up. It's pathetic and there's no good reason the women should have to put up with it particularly while he's in jail. Perhaps inmates have a right to the phone but he's demonstrated that his only purpose in using it is to harrass women and his privledges should be revoked or at the very least any phone call he makes monitored by jail staff.

Any ideas? Maybe the invisible posts are only viewable on the special edition.

Yes.

Has anyone noticed that sometimes the tally of posts increases even though there are no additional posts?

The inmate phone system is a money-maker for the jail. The receiving party pays exorbitant charges of which the county get a pretty good cut.

With Rosie on this one. Why the hell are prisoners allowed to make harassing calls from jail? Only people a prisoner should be able to call are their lawyer(s) and one designated family member.

Wow! Hollynpat sounds like a dangerous person too.

Not the kicking part, the one before. :-)

Oh, I definitely agree, but these traits are deeply seated in the human psyche and we are not always aware of how they affect our behavior, or necessarily capable of negating all of their effects even if we think we are aware of them.

Good points, of course, garyprimer, but you also know, some of the most proficient killers in the last century were very handsome, and some of the least attractive people have often become some of our greatest citizens (for example Eleanor Roosevelt was not known for her good looks). These less attractive success stories, I assume, were products of supportive families. Just like we expect these "ugly" people to overcome that obstacle and become well behaved citizens, society should ditch that "survival trait" practice, and stop treating people according to his/her physical appearance. Are we putting ourselves in a more dangerous situation by receiving a phone call from this guy (of course he should be punished for all his illegal activities) than walking on a secluded beach with one of societies' Ted Bundys or Robert E. Chambers, for example. (research time.)
I expect that some of the people reading this who may be particularly unattractive might have any negative feelings about themselves (from bullying, name calling, being made fun of by heartless people) reinforced by these comments. Just a theory. It's not this guy in particular I'm concerned with, but people just like him who haven't reached the breaking point yet.

It may be human nature to judge strangers on appearance and it is probably a very successful survival trait. One could argue that it's persistence proves it's usefulness. No excuse for being mean, but a possible explanation for a behavior that seems to puzzle some people.

Fine gentleman? Yuck. Not a chance-and I, for one, never said that. I'm saying-why, oh why-and I'd love some kind of an answer, are people constantly judging on physical appearance (of course in a beauty contest, but that says a lot about people's values, too). Do looks have something to do with vile actions? Maybe, but how did that happen? Do you also judge when someone loses an ear and the tip of a nose in an accident, or has a birth defect? Well, people's general appearance is also "an accident" over which they have no control. Even if he was "all slicked up" I'm sure the general appearance and comments would be the same.
Can't we just do this public comment thing on the crime itself?

I think that it is very important that we do not hurt this fine gentleman's feelings. After all, what has he done to deserve anything like that?

Of course they should be in control of their actions, lakennedy, and appearance shouldn't enter into it at all. But it does, and that's what opens up a can or worms. Those who judge, both in private and in court, should be in control of themselves also, and that judgement should include that which is based on physical evidence, not physical appearance.
These statements do not suggest that the "perpetrator" is innocent-but it sure can suggest why he is who he is.

Good thought, mrbread. I guess I just think that while it is probable that this guy was the subject of a lot of ridicule, I can't accept that as an excuse for his behavior. Doing so opens a dangerous "can of worms". If we as a society allow people to explain their poor choices by citing all of the wrongs done to them in the past, what kind of message are we sending? I don't know anyone who doesn't have a sad story, but thankfully, the majority of people understand that they need to be in control of themselves.

You know what, mybread? I was just about to make a similar comment in the other story about this stalker, when they took down the comments section and stopped allowing comments. It’s just so irritating that your appearance becomes part of your crime, and the gravity of your crime is so often determined by your appearance. It was the same way with the screeming meemies story-where the females pictured there were termed, among other expressions, “nasty”, and one was determined to be “mentally handicapped” based on the photo of her crying face! And it seemed there was some fairly gross exaggeration.
In the other story I had wanted to ask why we recognize this as abuse and
sympathize when it happens to child victims (while they are still children),
but they are supposed to recover nicely when they become adults. I can’t imagine why people don’t put 2 and 2 together.
(I’d also like to see what many of those same posters look like, if maybe it’s not their chance to get even for comments they’ve had to endure-and shouldn’t they be understanding and mature enough to make comments about the crime and not the accuser’s appearance anyway? I’d also like to ask why they think Janesville should expect/deserve “criminals” with movie star features. But then-the comment section would probably take on a whole new demeanor-or maybe no photos)

this guy puts the "D" in dumb

I'm not defending this guy in the smallest way, but does anyone reading this wonder if the sort of ridicule (cro-magnon etc.) aimed at this guy, made him the monster he seemingly is?

sarac53545,
It was not "JPD" that let him out "again" it is the court system. JPD arrested him and put him in the rock county jail pending a court hearing. The court system then does there thing and according to many that post here EVERYBODY should stay in jail. I guess we need a bigger jail. When accussing you should take some time to understand what you are saying.

Sarcastic humor, perhaps unwarranted in the situation as the more I hear, the more disturbed this individual seems to be.

Please, please, please...keep this weirdo in jail, monitor his calls, immobilize his fingers...don't really care, but hasn't he had more than enough chances? Some people fart cross-wise and get more time in jail and penalties than this. I agree with maks_mama, this guy is dangerous to women, and he seems to be in escalation mode. Do we really need to have a rape and/or murder before this man, excuse me, monstrous creep, is properly punished, therapied, and contained?

And this FREAK is out again??? way 2 go JPD

I was wondering does anyone else think this guy could be PIZZAMAN ??? I have always wondered why the gazette removed all of pizzamans posts !!!He always had very nasty and a lot of anger in his post... Maybe Scott can answer this question !Did anyone ever get any e-mails from pizzaman ?

This man refers to himself as "the text message killer".He's threatened to kill a womans daughter.He admitted he "enjoys calling young females and making them feel intimidated and threatened" What happens when the calls and texts get boring and aren't enough? As a mother of a young daughter, this is scary.

I'll bet he thinks he's REALLY funny.

He looks like that Jay Leno character.

Oops!… I Did It Again

What'd Wikapedia say about talking like Donald Duck?

Gee, these guys never look like what you'd think they would. ;-)

Hockeyjockey:

Homo antecessor (preNeanderthal)... Wikipedia: homo antecessor was about five and a half to six feet tall, and males weighed roughly 200 pounds (91 kilograms). Their brain sizes were roughly 1000-1150cc, smaller than the 1350cc average of modern humans.

Though the size of his head may seem to dictate otherwise, I think the brain size is probably fairly accurate!

Wolf is howling for an extended prowl in a lair at Waupun.

Based on the law "enforcement"'s inability to protect his victims WHILE HE IS IN CUSTODY, I'd say they are all cro-magnons.

Cro-Magnon or Neanderthal? I can't decide...

Maybe the Rock County jail should use electronic debits to move money quicker. I will be willing to start a sentence pool, everyone put in how long this joker gets from our Rock county court system. I say 3 months jail, 3 years probation.

Ok.. Lemme get this straight, He's in jail for the harassing calls, while he's in jail he makes more harassing call FROM? jail? and then pays his bail with a insufficient-funds check? Did he sign the checks "Donald Duck"? ....omg to funny..
