WTF? Allyson, I am so very sorry. Your brother did absolutely the right thing. I don't know if I could stop hitting the guy.
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Allyson, I have some friends at a firm in Boston. I don't think they do criminal, but could probably recommend someone. Do you want me to contact them? I'm leaving the office for the afternoon in a few minutes, but if you send me an email at my profile addy, I'll get it.

Allyson, what everyone else said, including any help you might need, finance-wise.

Yikes Allyson! Here's hoping everything turns out well for your brother. Hopefully the DA's office will have a sense of perspective about the difference between the situation that actually occurred and just randomly pummeling someone without provocation.

I just hope Allyson's nephew isn't thinking that somehow he got his dad in trouble! That would be total little kid logic, you know?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I hate saying this, but I might need a little help to get home for his arraignment. I don't know yet. I'm checking prices and finances.
It seems ridic, maybe? I just have to be there to support my brother.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Allyson, I'll be more than happy to contribute to get you home for the arraignment. And I would have done exactly what he did.

Our wings are not tired.
If someone is gathering a fund, let me know please.
[edited] I can't believe they didn't arrest that creepy son of a son of a bitch. And instead they arrest J? What the fuck?
Anyway, yeah. Right here with funds for lawyers, guns and money.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just let us know, Allyson.
I really hope I have my phone on mute like I think it is....

Should have restrained him until the police arrived? What the fucking fuck? Do they think normal people carry cuffs around? Jesus.
Holy FUCK, Allyson. And...I sure as fuck don't think I would be able to (a) restrain the guy (b) TOUCH THE FUCKING ASSHOLE FOR THAT LONG and (c) restrain him without giving in to the urge to CHOKE HIM TO DEATH.
I'm hoping this is the sort of thing where you agree to go to some bullshit "anger management course" and it doesn't go any further.
But seriously, they didn't arrest the 71 year old because he's OLD??????? BECAUSE HE'S OLD?? Dont' they know that it's usually OLD GUYS who are luring little neighbor boys into their houses? It's old guys who have been doing this for forty years?? WHAT THE FUCK, POLICE PEOPLE???
