If I had a valid vote. Mr Spencer is my man. Just saying.
I hope he wins.
It’s a “felony” to take out the trash in Arkansas?
Up Vote.
I would vote for him.
I’d vote for him if I could.
I like this guy.
“We had no idea this man was in contact with our child again.”
Again and again.
Spencer's wife Heather started a GiveSendGo campaign and revealed the couple's then 13-year-old daughter several months prior was allegedly "targeted, groomed and ultimately raped by the boyfriend of a family friend" — Fosler — after he got the child's phone number. Though Fosler faced pending felony charges and reportedly a "no contact order," he nonetheless contacted the minor victim while he was out on bond, per Heather.
"We let the justice system do its job. The monster who hurt our child was charged quickly, but released even faster on a $50k bond. He was awaiting court in December for several felonies in relation to what he did to our child," the mother said.
So the parents had had Fosler arrested for stalking (and who knows what else) their 13-year-old. But the system let him out to go to her again (at 14-years-old), which Fosler did.
Good on him.
I imagine that I would have done the same thing that he did.
Proud to see an Airborne brother do the right thing!
Did the daughter meet up with him willingly both times? Seems like something is missing here . . .
In a number of states, private citizens can use lethal force to make a citizen’s arrest of a felon if the felon resists.
On top of that, good luck getting a conviction.
Something many people don’t know is that a person doesn’t have to a graduate of a law enforcement academy to be elected. Usually have to get the training within 12 months.
That's irrelevant at that age.
She's still basically a child and cannot technically give informed consent.
Also, considering this monster's history, the father likely saved more than a few more kids from being victims of this predator.
Taking out this kind of trash needs to happen more often. There's no rehabilitating most like this.
And what is it with the likes of people like you who blame the child?
What the guy did was wrong, period. No excuses and it doesn't make it OK if she went with him willingly.
I know I was one stubborn fourteen year-old. I snuck out to see my boyfriend regularly (also fourteen).
I don’t doubt something similar happened here. When teens want to rebel, they will. The risk/reward portion of their brain isn’t perfectly developed yet. There’s no impulse control, and it sounds like this guy may have convinced her that she was perfectly safe with him.
No problem with him killing the maggot.
Why though was the 14 year-old girl in contact with the freak a SECOND time? What is her problem?

Not blaming, just questioning. There is absolutely no justification for what Fosler did. Period.
My question is based in clarifying the story, since there was no information in the story, that I could find, that explained how the daughter ended up in that truck. Was she forcibly kidnapped from the house or was she possibly brainwashed into meeting up with her? Is there another explanation of how a fourteen year old rape victim ended up in the same vehicle as the 67 year old guy who has been charged with the previous kidnap, rape (and whatever else he was charged for)?
I truly hope Spencer gets justice and becomes the Sheriff of his county . . .

Sorry, I feel like I opened a can of worms with the question. Clearly as a 14 year old she can’t consent. But I can’t get my head around the idea of a 67 year old guy with a 13/14 year old girl. There was no indication in the story of how she ended up in the truck with him or what they may have been doing. Was she forcibly kidnapped from her home, was she brainwashed into meeting up with him? Being kidnapped, in mind, would be more than enough justification for dad to do what he did.
There are oodles of stories/movies about this kind of thing. Very strange . . .
