I am in agreement with you about feeling sorry and being concerned about what Betsybug had to experience from such a low-life person. But I disagree with you about descalation. While following your advice would have been the prudent thing to do from a safety standpoint, there would have been "no way" for her to verbally describe what she was subjected to without the video. The extent to which this "creep" provoked her was despicable. I thought any minute that he was going to get off his awsome "wave runner" and come on to the dock. As others have stated, this person has serious psycological/mental problems. The fact that he has been arrested for domestic violence, running around naked,

and assaulting a police officer is evidence that this was not his first transgression. His "brazen" attitude and continuous harrassmeent would seem to indicate that he may have exhibited this "type" of behavior before. His continuous reference to "this is Lake Martin" seemed to offer some insight to his reason for being there. During the 20 minute video he twice called her a "pizzed off woman" and seemed to be "enjoying" the fact that he was able to continue his harrassment until the sherriff arrived.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                I am no psychologist, but is it possible that his past history may be leading up to an "event" that might not result in a "desirable ending". We all are aware of cases where there have been clues that were not followed up on which, in turn, resulted in an unpleasant ending. In any case, he should not be left with a feeling that his "provocation" against others will be taken lightly and only result in a slap on the wrist.
