Reply #24: Yes, he is more than an obnoxious drunk

[Tansy_Gold]

But no, he's not the owner of the bar/restaurant. He does spend a lot of money there, however, as do the members of his extended family. (I don't spend a lot of money there, so I'm not "worth" as much.)

What set him off that particular time -- not the first, by any means, but worse than others -- was a combination of factors, primarily spurred by the fact that I am intelligent and educated and openly liberal, and he is none of the above. Because of the comments and the context, I also suspect that there are sexual over/undertones. This is not a man I would EVER be alone in a room with.

He is also a man who would put the blame on any woman he harmed, and blame alcohol for any man he harmed.

He has already spent time in jail for DUI and has a suspended license. This does not stop him from drinking; he is opening defiant of the police as well as women.

He is considered a normal guy by most who know him.
