Ron Cummings Arrested 2009.08.06 RE: Battery involving brother-in-law

[Flossie JMO]

If she isn't in an emotionally/physically abusive relationship it would be easier to leave. And...if you speak from experience, you should be very proud that you could do it easily. It took me a very long time.

Again, I don't believe she is abused, and I believe if she were she would have ran with her family. I don't post my experiences, I try and focus on the case at hand.

 

[Flossie JMO]

I'm sorry Flossie JMO but have you ever been in a abusive relationship for any period of time ? It is not that easy..or that simple. The comment that "it is that easy" is rather insulting to me.

It's unfortunate you took offense, it was not a post to you, it was a post with my opinion on the case at hand.

 

[impatientredhead]

I haven't seen anything that says that she was sleeping when this happened?

Her statement to LE said she was asleep and was awoken by the ruckus. Her statements to reporters have varied from report to report.

 

[Flossie JMO]

Is this quote coming from someone who has experienced abuse firsthand or just someone coming from left field? No, it is not easy. When someone threatens to kill you if you leave and then hunts you down with a gun, it isn't easy. When someone controls every move you make and Yes, I KNOW that Ron made her take out the domestic violence order! There. That's my very experienced and knowledgeable opinon on this subject. Do you have any firsthand knowledge in abuse?

As I posted, I do not post about my personal life on a public message board. I suggest you look at the small amounts of facts that are available in this situation. JMO

 

[impatientredhead]

Yes. It is what I am saying. It would have been perfectly legal for him to "stand his ground" upon being threatened with the intent of bodily harm. If he had shot him, he would not be in this position. Only because he chose to push him away in self defense and then finish the fight after Hank Jr started swinging is the reason why he is in this predicament.

Ron doesn't have a registered gun nor a gun license.
Shooting an unarmed man in front of several witnesses.... well I think he is better of with this predicament than the one you suggest would be better for him.

I don't think that "good ol boys" call LE before the fact, LE is usually called after the event, usually in cases where someone was injured or killed. "good ol boys" usually feel the need to take care of things themselves. JMO, of course.

Exactly. That was my point. I'm glad you agree.

Misty gets herself in messes and plays both sides....nothing new with this behavior either. She will go along with the one that can do the most for her in the long run. She may even wind up pressing charges against her brother who may have come to rescue her.

So, did you give her the idea for the restraining order?

Question....
Does this sound like a man who is worried that his daughter is being
abused by her husband?

"It should be noted that Hank Sr was at the scene as well. He stated that
he did not wish to complete a written or recorded statement." "He said that
he did not want his daughter to be mad at him so he did not want to take any action."


If your afraid your daughter is being abused what better time to take action?
I'm sorry but I do not believe for one second that the visit was due to
their fear that Ron was abusing Misty

 

[Leila]

I agree that it is very clear and some will not agree I respect everyones opinion. IMO the Croslin Family did what they felt they had to do in fear for their daughter/sister. I don't know how the Florida Laws are, but where I am from and having been around a similar situation, LE will not come out and escort a family member to check on another family member. The only way LE will come out is if there is an altercation, they do not provided escort service for a wellness check.
Again, I am sure there is a lot more to this incident but still feel that it could of been handled in a different way. Ron could of just told the Croslins to leave and if they did not he should of called LE right then and there. Not try to instigate, this family as well as all involved already have some type of instinct of what may of happen to Haleigh and maybe that is why they fear for Misty. JMO

Here in California the police will accompany in some cases to keep the peace. If there's a restraining order against an individual, lets say a former spouse or roommate, a police officer will accompany the person protected by the restraining order if it's necessary for the two parties to be in close proximity.

 

[fortytwo]

There's no proof they tried to make Misty against her will , there is no proof she did not call them crying. Imo

You are right. I agree completely.

By the same token ...

There's no proof they didn't try to take Misty against her will. There is no proof she did call them, crying.

What's your point?

 

[RR0004]

I believe in Misty's statement she says she didn't want her family
to come over!

I know...but her family claims that she did...I'd like to hear from them. Personally, I think something has been going on for at least a couple of days. It sounds as if Misty may have actually called them, but not today...or last night. Their repeated calls to her may have been a follow-up to that phone call. Just would like to hear what they have to say.

 

[PorcineGranny]

Lets see, shes very young, inexperienced, uneducated with poor role models in life. He is an older man, often in trouble, possibly drug user, alcohol user.Sex was a large component of their relationship. LE listed in their report that she was battered. It doesn't take a genius to know she is abused but not nearly as much as shes gonna be if she continues to stay with Ron. This is such a losing situation I am appalled at those who post and say she is not abused or mistreated.....shes just too young to understand what is going on. She was mistreated by her parents, being thrown out to exist on her own at way too early an age, and now by Ron.

And if the report LE filed is true and she was battered, I'm betting she did call her family (brother) to come over and pick her up, but after experiencing Ron's reaction, told them not to come...it just makes sense, moo.

With all due respect, can you explain how it is easy?

So, we KNOW Misty has a driver's license.

Thought you had to be 18 or in school, or did marriage change the rules.

 

[lonetraveler]

I don't find it strange for a married couple to be loyal to each other.

IMO, Misty has been protecting Ron's behind for quiet awhile now and for a while before the holy matrimony event. It didn't just happen. Before Misty, there were other females protecting him.

But he did say he would testify in court.

thank you...some people have no clue what it's like to live in an abusive relationship. I sure hope that Mistys family call her tomorrow to check on her.. cause i'm sure she getting the wrath of Ronald tonight..

 

[harleysnana]

But he did say he would testify in court.

If he is subpoenaed!
Doesn't sound like he wants to be involved and it
sure doesn't sound like he is worried about her safety!

[Whisperer]

With Jr returning this weekend, maybe they can spend a few days at the beach. The newlyweds need some time to forget about this pesky little felony.
