I agree his background doesnt show violent crimes. However we do have the neighbor statement about EKs self-described adult temper when he beat up the car bc he was out of cigs and didnt have the keys. Also, violent crimes against people might tend to go unreported in an area like this. The injured party being hesitant to report due to their own background and a general dislike for LE involvement of any kind. Just MHO.
I havent made up my mind about anything or anyone yet but NOTHING would surprise me in this case.

From what I've seen, in violence cases, be it against a male s/o or female s/o, someone in the home, or a close neighbor, will usually call 911 if it is getting too out of hand. A lot of times, the abused will drop the charges, or just not show up in court. Note, this
is how mom is said to have gotten out of the attack on bio Dad's gf. Gf didn't show up to court, and they dismissed the charge. There are zero cases like this against EK, that I've found, thus far. Also, there's not, thus far, been any indication from the eldest that mom has been beaten.
Taking it out on their vehicle? I'd think it was
way over the top, a little nuts, even, but, it's his ride. He has to pay for the damage, and, it's inanimate. If he'd been beating a dog with a bat?! Now that speaks much louder.
It's said that these two, mom and EK, loosely quoted, "argued loudly". I take that to mean that others in the trailer park could hear them. I've looked up this trailer park, and it has high marks as a nice place to live, from what I've ascertained. The trailers may be older, but they seem well-kept, and there were not a lot of them, so folks would kinda know what was going on in the park. I have lived in one, where everyone had at least a 1/4 acre lot, so you didn't hear/see much unless you were just nosy. I've also lived in one that had the trailers set pretty close. There were always folks outside, working on cars, tending lawn, walking dogs, etc... So if anything too wild went on, it could be seen.
The silence about mom being an abused female is deafening. I don't think anyone has come forward and talked abut mom having any physical signs of abuse. If you know someone, well, you can tell if they are in an abusive relationship, unless you prefer to keep the scales on your eyes. If her parents have told what they've told thus far, they'd not have left that part out, imo.
If he'd been beating the daylights outta her, I feel, that by now, she'd have told her parents what all he'd done to her, and she was scared, and couldn't leave, and he gave her no choice. I gave her the benefit of the doubt, that she might be abused, in the beginning, but I've got serious doubts that she was abused, as the case goes on. I think she has a bit of a temper herself. The kids went back and forth for visits to Dad until Dad got a new girlfriend, iirc. I'd have been tickled to death if my ex had found a lucid, caring, breathing, human being that was good to mine, and watched over them. Unfortunately, his only dates were with cans.
