Fucking intense... + my mom got subpeona

sparknotes: -mom harrassed by crazy guy, he gets arrested -mom gets subpoena today, finds out guy is Michael Diehl - Michael diehl and his wife and 17 disabled kids lived in bus, where they chained up the disabled kids, forced them to eat feces, and he eventually died... was convicted of manslaughter
So I live in north Idaho (CoeurdAlene) and three months ago my mom was driving back from nearby town Bonners Ferry (tiny hick town with like 300 people) and started to get tailgated, it was nearing nightfall
the Tailgating douche had a big ass truck, flashed lights, followed my mom for like 15 minutes, almost ran her off the road, almost crashed into her, then starting making obscene gestures
My mom called cops, he continued to follow her, she pulled over, he does the same, cops arrive, he flees, they chase him til around 10:30 pm, and my mom returns visibly shaken....
TODAY she gets subpoena to testify against this jackass in court soon.... only to find out he is this guy named Michael Diehl... convicted
"The last time the Diehls were entrusted with the care of a vulnerable person, he wound up nude, restrained with hose clamps, forced to eat his own feces, and ultimately dead.For those who weren't living in Hampton Roads back in the late 1980s, here's the nutshell version of how these campground Christians came to harm their son:Karen and Michael Diehl arrived in Virginia Beach from Idaho in 1986 with their 17 - you read that correctly - kids in tow.Four of those children were their offspring.The others were adoptive children with a variety of disabilities.The Diehls lived in a school bus in a campground. Their only visible means of support was a patchwork of government checks and charitable handouts.You'd think such a bizarre living arrangement would have raised suspicions.You would be wrong.The Diehls were media darlings. For a while you couldn't turn on the local news or open a newspaper (including this one) without finding a fawning story about the big-hearted family.All that changed when Dominick ``Andrew'' Diehl died and the public got a horrifying peek inside that school bus.Andrew was severely disturbed and disruptive. Yet some social service meatheads tossed this fragile child to this overloaded family, who then drove cross-country offering parenting advice to anyone who would listen.The abuse Andrew Diehl suffered at the hands of his parents is almost unspeakable.Testimony at the trial of his parents revealed that the boy had been shackled, usually naked, to the floor of the bus for more than a month before his death as punishment for his antisocial behavior.Even though testimony in the trials showed that Karen Diehl administered most of the boy's beatings, and forced Andrew to eat his own bodily waste, it was Michael Diehl who received the harshest punishment: a first-degree murder conviction and 41 years behind bars. He remains in prison." - http://poundpuplegacy.org/node/20300fuckin obviously not... so now we're all a lil freaked out, bitches be crazy
 
Thank you kind sir, just thought I'd post cause we haven't had any crazy lawless shit since that thread about the homeless girl in the woods lol
 
I thought i was the only one who liked to shackel naked mentally retarded kids to the ground and make them eat their own feces, small world.
 
I wasnt ready for the description in the sparknotes leading up to the story. That is some fucked up stuff. Sadly (but somewhat comically), that is how Northern Idaho gets its reputation.
Good thing your mom had the foresight to call the cops. Glad she is ok.
 
idaho represent

thats some fucked up shit

im glad i live in boise, which is like an island in the middle of idaho of normalcy
 
trying to comprehend this...

karen and michael diehl are the parents of 17 children, 4 their own, 13 adopted. lived in a bus during the 80s.

dominic (andrew) is the adopted son who was chained naked and forced to eat his own feces for a month until his death

karen diehl was sentenced 31 years for involuntary manslaughter, served 6, and is now the associate director of a program for the elderly in Waynesboro

michael diehl was sentenced 41 years for 1st degree murder...

...michael diehl is out already and was behind the wheel of a truck your mom called the cops on.

FUCKIN' A thats fucked up.

glad your mom is ok man, both michael and karen need to be given the death penalty or sentenced to life without bail or early leave.

and whats up with them claiming PNW.... wheres your ocean idaho.. and dont say ponderay!
 
the guy must have been out on parole or something its been 25 years, thats crazy though i wonder if theyll send him back to prison, probably
