Judge Simpson, my hat is off to you Sir with deep respect! Thank you for holding the line for this man, for this couple. You said exactly what I said about compassion, this is something that is missing in today's society big time. ❤❤❤
GOD bless this couple, and I pray that this clip somehow goes viral!! I wish I could locate this couple and offer to build a 6' fence for their driveway, to be able to protect this VETERAN from their Noisy Neighbor!!
That poor Couple ,the man has been through more than we can imagine,some people like to push buttons and find joy in doing so and sometimes a attitude adjustment is in order like it or not ,let the man live out his last days in peace
Making these people move is a disgrace. I felt like crying watching this. Everyone will get old if they are lucky. These terrible people need to show some grace and understanding.
You and I both are crying!! As a 58yo Veteran, I am ashamed of how people in this Country treats Veterans, and People of color, Such prejudice is appalling!!!
Thank you Judge Simpson for your compassion towards that couple. I think that people should have a little more empathy. God bless you Judge Simpson 🙏❤️
Another shining example of Judge Simpson's intelligence and compassion. In no way is he ever saying it's OK for the defendant to 'go off' on the neighbor. But he also recognizes that the defendant isn't acting under his 'normal' faculties. People with dementia and Alzheimer's can't be treated the same way fully functioning people are. They aren't capable of controlling themselves anymore. Oftentimes, whatever sets them off is something that has scared them. Maybe something about the neighbor is bringing back memories of Vietnam, and that's why he's getting violent. Regardless, Judge Simpson is right. Jail isn't where he needs to be. He needs to be somewhere safe, where he can be properly cared for. If it can be arranged, then at home with his wife is always going to be the best for them both. I pray she's able to get the help and respite care she needs so they don't have to move, and she can stay in her family home even after he's gone. (If anyone doesn't know what respite care is, that is care - either in home or inpatient - that allows the family member time to do the things they need to do for themselves, even take some vacation time away from the dependent adult)
I understand the victim has rights but I don't think it's fair to confine him and not allow him in the driveway. I love Judge Simpson because of nothing else he's fair.
Who’s going to have to deal with it when he violates bond? The police. He is mentally impaired and acting violent at times. The People are being realistic about what’s going to happen if he isn’t supervised. It’s not like they were trying to keep him in jail - they’re trying to find a way to get him out of jail and keep him out. You are too judgmental. He has another case where he what, broke a window? He’s violent when he’s agitated and his wife isn’t there. People don’t deserve to accept violence. It isn’t his neighbors fault he acts inappropriately. The guns may have been taken out of the house but this is America, he probably can get another. In the end, Judge Simpson said it would be best to say if he violates again, he has to stay in the house. I hope the gentleman gets into a care facility but if he’s violent, they’ll kick him out BECAUSE IT ISN’T FAIR TO THE OTHER PEOPLE and they may get hurt. You know, like the neighbor.
A lot of offenders are put on house arrest, it isn't just because he has Alzheimer's that the prosecutor wanted him to be kept from wandering outside. He committed crimes from that driveway. Judge Simpson is doing a great job, but he's also giving this guy leeway that he wouldn't give to many other criminals. I hope it pays off and the wife can get the help she needs and deserves. Taking care of my mother-in-law at the end was difficult. She would scream and bite, the exact opposite of her personality, which was sweet, kind and loving. This is a man who was trained to kill people in the military. He's not harmless and he's shown that he is willing to hurt others when he's agitated. I hope he won't turn it on his caregivers when his wife cannot stop him.
Emmons isnt being a villain here. Hes trying to keep the poor guy out of a situation where he might get triggered into doing something that will land him in jail.
