Although I don’t consider myself part of fandom now, I was part of it at both of the times that this meme references and… no lies detected. If anything, this is just one of many reasons why I’m glad my kids’ access to the Internet is as limited as it is. Them getting into things like… this, like this, at the ages some of the more impressionable members of fandom were when they were either their loudest or most impressionable is not something I think I’ll be dealing with, and I am exceedingly thankful for that. (At the most, they watch television on the actual thing, or videos via YouTube or YouTube Kids, which I’m alright with and thankful for!)

The person that I have been… keeping up on for valid reasons, was arrested this past week.

Apparently this person was, and has been, charged with one count of criminal trespass in the first degree and one count of resisting arrest. He’s supposed to show up at the courthouse early next week, which I know for a fact he won’t do unless someone physically makes him attending arraignment. This is the same person that eventually became convicted of the shoplifting offense that happened in that very county because he refused to come to all other court hearings after his county physically made him appear at the arraignment. I don’t know that his county’s criminal justice unit will get quite so lucky this time, and given how he’s deleted all of the social media sites that were public and that he used… this might have been premeditated, and he might have expected in his mind that “something could have haopened” (law enforcement involvement).

The fact that he hasn’t fled this state as fast as he’s fled others (and in one case, country) speaks volumes. He has more than likely tried to. All of his family members appear unwilling to help him, even some that had helped him out in the past. I can’t say that I blame them. It also seems like his friends are… not his friends any more, or not as close as they had been. Again, I can’t say that I blame them for any of this, because I don’t.
