WTF!!!!! Man burns himself to death to avoid US debtors prison!!!

After six months of me not lifting a finger to save this marriage, she filed for divorce. Almost two years after the incident, I was talking with her on the phone. She told me that night she had called a mental health provider we had for one of the kids. Wendy, the counselor told my then wife that if she did not call the police on me, then she too would be arrested.-quote.

great counseling?

Imagine that folks the terrorist counselor?

get this....call the cops or you too will go to jail?

wtf?

Suicide is what pussies and nutless cowards commit.

The word frustration doesn't cut it.

I feel daddy dumbass used this as a scapegoat to commit
suicide because he has underlying problems not publicly known.

No sympathy for idiots.
Kurt Kobain had talent.
But was a pussy for taking his own life
(if he did at all)

Suddenly, everything made sense. She is the type that believes that people in authority actually know what they are talking about. If both she and I were arrested, what would happen to our three children, ages 7,4 and 1? They would end up in State custody. So my wife called the police on her husband to protect the children. And who was she protecting the kids from? Not her husband, the father of these children. She was protecting them from the State of New Hampshire.
This country is run by idiots.-quote.

I agree!

I find it funny how all the slaves want to tell the other slaves how they should be working for this corrupt machine.

This is how they control you.


Slave "I work for a living, I pay my taxes, what makes you so special? Get off you ass and get a job!"

Freeman "I'm alive, I live and breathe the air of freedom for a living... I do side jobs for tax-free money, live humble and without debt."

Slave "I got brand new Nike Shoes and Chrome Rims on my new car, It'll be paid off in 5 years"

Freeman "I got 6 month old shoes I bought at Kmart, and a 10 year old used car I paid cash for, and don't owe a dime to NO ONE."

Cop "PAPERS NOW LOW LIFE SCUM!!!"

Your story has more fucking holes in it
than Martin Luther King Blvd!

Sounds like someone was beating someone's ass.
You did it to yourself regardless. It takes 2 people
to enter into a marriage, and it takes 2 to fuck it up.

Not lifting a finger to save a marriage, in which you took
the same fucking vows as she did to love, honor obey in sickness and health and for better or for worse means YOU
were the dipshit that failed your marriage just as she failed it too.

These men aren't paying the ex wife, they are suppose to take care of their kids. Blaming the women in these cases when sick men do these things is not right. You all ahve no idea what you are talking about.

Improvise, adapt and overcome. The Army teaches that to every soldier it trains. They say that no battle plan survives the first five minutes of combat. So your people on the ground had better be able to think for themselves. Taking casualties in war is just an occupational hazard. Taking casualties and not accomplishing your mission is a disaster. After 21 years of Army service, I am pretty good at improvising.-quote.

I call that a real hero....no dead beat dad here!

(Odd isn't it? They know that 50% of victim spouses end up homeless and that 70% of them have children. How can they know the percentages when they do not know how many total arrests were made? Those people at the U.S. Justice Dept. cannot even pull off a credible cover-up. )-quote.

Yes, its scary if this is the way most people actually think. Sick world.

read the letter in the sentinel....

it´s from the man....

if your wife calls the cops on you for trying to teach your daughter not to lick peoples hands....

that is a serious breach of contract....

you can not save a woman who respects the establishment more than she respects her husband....

it´s simple logic....

but you don´t know that?

Feminists had always claimed that when women took over, we would have a kinder, gentler, more nurturing world. After 36 million arrests and 72 million evictions what we got was Joe Stalin.-quote.

Agree u.s. laws are impossibly punitive and downright cruel to men. My brother was threatened with jail when child support pay'ts for 3 kids was $5,000/month based on a good business period which later became very slow until he closed the doors a few years back.
She didn't educate herself for work during that time and instead bought a million dollar home around the corner from his because she was jealous of his his new home.
He is a simple, good natured guy and put up with her constantly hauling him into court over other trivialities and a bastard of a judge who went with her every time.
All 3 are officially over 18 but she still pursues him for other things.

When I divorced my husband (who had a scary temper) I packed the car 4 months pregnant, drove 1,000 miles away and went for full custody and no responsiblity on his part and got it.
So I chose peace over money battles. It was hard but the right choice for my son and me.

Not all women are bitches, many choose simplicity over bondage over years of distress for everyone. I know quite a few personally who choose letting go.

If you got the balls to call this man a coward... You obviously didn't read his good bye letter...and
I bet you don't have the balls to burn your hand with a Bic lighter much less douse yourself with gasoline and light up in the front door of the courthouse...
Fuck off.
You got no leg to stand on.
This old man is a true to life martyr.

The actor Nickolas Cage was drunk in New Orleans with his wife. Everyone else is drunk in New Orleans, so why should Nick be any different. He and his wife were arguing over which house the rented for their stay. Nick grab his wife's arm and started to lead her to his house. The police arrested Nick for domestic violence. His wife was stunned. That was not domestic violence. "Nothing we can do," the police explained to her. "Just following orders."-quote.

I own 300 acres, paid for. I own two jeeps and a flat bed paid for. I have a college education, loans paid off. My wife and I have worked are asses off.

I buy new shoes, Nikes or Addias, every six months cash. You aren't free, AC, you just think you are.

I have never been married, although I've been very close to making that mistake on several occasions.
As far as I'm concerned government nor religion has any business sanctioning any of my feelings or beliefs. My personal relationships are my own concern and should not fall under the auspices of any government office or some holier than thou skygod driven organization.
Our personal liberties may look great on paper but in actuality becoming increasing licensed by the state.
This escalating intervention merely stunts our personal growth and provides further justifications by the TPTB to increasingly control us for our own good.

Seriously, why get married? Everything works out for the women. Equality my ass.

A male that thinks overbreeding and popping out kid after kid with mulitple women makes him a "man". He needs to go to the vet and get fixed, if he can't control his libido.

The mental health crowd is the third reason I said no. Some people think they are geniuses with their Masters and PH D's. Others think they are so wacky that they call them fruit loops. Well, I have a third name for them. Suckers. They did not get hired for their medical ability. They got these because they were willing to take these cases off the judge's hands. Which has done nothing for the credibility for their profession. We are not here to help-we are here to unload. And they created a liability that did not previously existed. If a judge releases a defendant and he goes kills someone, that judge or the judiciary cannot be sued. But a mental health worker, and their employer certainly can be held liable. Our judiciary is now using the mental health field like a ten dollar whore.-quote.

two dollars....

Are you just bragging? Why?
All kinds of conditions form an individual life and each defines freedom according to what's possible for that person.
Some are born at a better time that make it possible to create those conditions. Others not. Certainly not for kids just starting out today.

If he spent every penny he had on attorney - NO ONE won but the attorney!!

Too true! A woman owes allegiance to her man and her family, in that order. She invited the vampiric state to do her job of standing by her man, and she lost it all. I like women, but will never even sleep with one that trusts these assholes!

I am one of the few that DID take the time to read it.

The guy was obviously well educated. He was articulate in his writing, and made his points very well. He showed his research, and made it clear he understood what he was up against. He obviously did his homework.

I have no idea what he did for a career but he must have been a professional before all this happened.

America is less of a nation with this guy gone, to say nothing of his kid's loss.

Good, let that child be scarred for life over it. No more easy living. Let people see, at a young age, what the reality of life is. We keep sheltering children, making them soft, making them accept things as they are or worst. I hope that 1 in 5 children scarred by such events take a stand later in life. I hope that such tragedy opens their eyes and drives them to bring justice, peace and hope to the world again. It is only in the fire that we mature, that we grow, that we burn off the impurities of a complacent lifestyle.

+1000!

Eight years ago a man in California fled with his children after the police warned him to get out after they had arrested the wife and mother. None of the shelters would take him and the kids in because he was a man. I wonder if this would survive a legal gender discrimination challenge in a federal court?-quote.

One Starred for the bogus thread title.

Shame on the OP for the deceptive summary and misleading characterization of an incredible story.
(at a minimum you could have included the very next paragraph)

I could have made a phone call or two and borrowed the money. But I am done being bullied for being a man. I cannot believe these people in Washington are so stupid to think they can govern Americans with an iron fist. Twenty-five years ago, the federal government declared war on men. It is time now to see how committed they are to their cause. It is time, boys, to give them a taste of war.

Jeers to all the posters who failed to actually read this article before commenting. (Hint: It was not about child support or debtors prison)

Epic Fail to GLP for once again, putting sensationalism before substance.

Children of these parents also suffer. They used to have their own bedroom in a safe town with good schools. First they have a shelter, then Section 8 public housing. An urban school. Maybe good-maybe not. Kids learn how to be tough in an urban environment. The kids might go bad or they could come out just fine. But there will be no clunky car as a teenager. There will be no saving fund for college. There will be no monetary gift to use as a down payment for a starter home. -quote.

Pre-nups are totally necessary these days, and if you and your mate are friends I would get them to understand how impossible it can be for a man if things don't work out a later on.
Then you can continue being friends and do the right things for all concerned by agreement and flexibility between you.

Child custody/visitation issues should be handled separately with a third party or the court, since those can involve issues of alcohol or substances or family violence.
