He's Getting Six Years in Prison

My brother K has been in jail since before Christmas. He broke up with his girlfriend (who he'd only been with for about a month -- he's one of those people who hops from relationship to relationship and every single one is his "soul mate,")...anyway, he broke up with his then girlfriend, flipped out and threatened her mom and an ex-boyfriend (I'm unclear on whether he made threats to the girlfriend.) They pressed charges and he was facing six years in prison for making terrorist threats. He had the option to plea bargain but he refused and instead went to trial.
Anyway, he called my mom tonight and told her he got sentenced the full six years in prison. He just turned 29 years old last month and if he serves the full sentence, he will be 35 when he gets out.
What a waste of life. He spent most of his teenage years locked up in juvenile hall, and his adult life has been spent constantly in and out of jail or prison. He just can't play by the rules and since he's already got a long list of past offenses on his record, any little thing he does can send him back to jail or prison. Sadly I think he's better off in prison, as he can't seem to handle freedom. I wish he'd wake the hell up and get his crap together, and realize that this is his LIFE he's wasting. But I don't have high hopes that he ever will.

He lived with my parents, so I always had to deal with him. He sold my name and address to inmates when he was in Corcoran Prison a few years ago (the same prison as Charles Manson.) Still not happy about that...lousy thing to do, to trade your own sister's personal info for ramen or whatever he got from the deal.

He brings on their wrath enough as it is. He always spends a good amount of time in solitary confinement because he can't get along with other prisoners.

That is sad that he chooses to live his life that way. It must be difficult for your mom and your family to see him wasting his life away.

Yes, it is. But I think we've all reached a point where we know we can't help him, he has to help himself.

@Srbageldog That is true. Until he seeks out help he will never change.

Maybe it's for the best he can't control himself some how. I'd be happy if that were my brother so he would cause no harm to anybody anymore.

Yes, I am relieved we won't have to deal with him for a long while. He is very stressful and scary.

@Srbageldog This is what I thought, he is safer in prison.

At least in prison he's not out on the streets. There are people around here who want to kill him! He's made a lot of enemies. And he is scary when he is drunk or high and becomes violent.

Oh god, I can't stand those types of people.. always drove me nuts seeing people with a new relationship posted on facebook every few weeks / months.
It is such a shame, but as you said, it might be better for him.

Right?? Ugh, I can't stand it either. And he's going to prison for 6 years over it! Like, was it worth it?? He was only with her for a month, and now he's losing the rest of his 20s and the first half of his 30s because of it. Why didn't the idiot just move on when she ended things? He actually was starting to get his act together, even had a job! But, like always he couldn't stay away from booze. Which is, to my understanding, why she ended things with him (it's why they all end up breaking up with him), and then he threatened her family. Such a moron!
All of his short-term girlfriends automatically start referring to him as their "husband" and some even change their last names to ours on Facebook and have their kids start calling him "daddy." And we always know it will end badly, because those types of relationships never last, and he can't stay away from booze. I don't even feel sorry for the girls when it ends badly, because if you're stupid enough to move a guy in after one date (not even an actual "date," more like they hook up once and claim it's forever)...then sorry, you deserve whatever you get when he turns out to be an abusive creep!

@Srbageldog Well, good for her for leaving him for drinking! I would've too! As I'm not for it at all.
I hate that too! Putting partners name as their last name and calling them hubby!! OMG!! I went bat sht crazy on about 5 people between 2009 and 2012 for doing that. Like, I have one friend whos been with her man for 10years now, and they have 4 kids together, and her last name is his with saying they're wife and husband, but that's SO different to me, then just starting out and doing it.. though still shouldn't in my opinion.
those poor kids whos lives he was in. ugh. people just do not think !

@Srbageldog Oh wow!! That is scary to think about, I sure hope he hasn't!
YES!! That is what I think and say too! 6-12 months at least! you have to get to know one another and make sure they are safe for not just you to be around, but your children! makes me so mad when people jump in relationships, and then do that on top of it.
and the sad thing is, more people have kids than don't so imagine all the kids who have kids put in and out of their lives due to their parents being stupid!

I am sorry this happened to your brother. I am unsure if it is you but is this the brother who is in Florida? Just correct me if I am wrong. Thank you.

No, he is not in Florida. He lives in California.

Life is not meant to be wasted. Didn't you try to make him understand about those bad things before incident?

Our family has tried for years. He just won't listen. We have all pretty much given up on him. It's gotten to where he is a threat to people's safety.

@Srbageldog Not good at all. If not now, hopefully he will think one day about his past offences and then nothing will be left. Then he will realize what is "Freedom". Hopefully he stay safe in jail.

I hope so too. It breaks my heart that my little brother turned out this way. I would love to see him get his act together.

Yes, I was surprised he was getting such a lengthy sentence. It's not his first offense, though. He probably will only serve half of it.
