I don't know about the MAN being a nobody, whom ever used the term "a nobody" was wrong, but sounds to me like he definitely needs some sort of help and/or counseling. He could have seriously harmed the victim or perhaps the incident could have been fatal, along with the same happening to him. This could have been a very sad and ugly situation, perhaps he is where he needs to be for the moment. But I do think he should receive a mental evaluation. So to his daughter, I am sorry for whom ever referred to your dad as "a nobody". That is not necessarily true at all dear. Just overlook the ignorance in some people. Concentrate on getting help for your Dad.

where are the 70 plus comments about this guy, and about the aiken standard for reporting it. perhaps it's not all that important to the aiken community since he's a nobody.
