As mentioned before, judging is wrong, understanding and silence is the path to take for the parents who are mainly victims here. In my humble opinion this guy needs a intervention in his life. He needs an alternative route presented before he hurts himself or someone else even worse. He may want relief worse than we can even imagine. Pray for them all.

Joshua J. Duffy-Sedicino punched another man in the face and started screaming profanities at him.

Duffy-Sedicino also went on a anti-police rant.

If these freeloaders cannot behave, they should be kicked out of the house.

There are some pretty stiff penalties for elderly abuse.

Who should decide and judge that these are "freeloaders" who "should be kicked out of the house"?

Maybe the court appointed public defender taxpayers pay for, to plea bargain down the charges and get him out again?

Maybe the prosecutor who agrees to plea bargains?

OR, how about the judge?????????????

And God forbid that The Villages would send its own patrol to homes, to interrogate and decide right there, who's a criminal and "freeloader" living there.

You guys contradict your tolerant, diversity-loving, privacy-loving, liberal selves, while placing no accountability on the civil service people we pay to do right for the community.

Too many things we don't know. Is his behavior due to some brain damage, mental illness, substance abuse? Unless we know the underlying root cause, it is awfully hard to judge. Does he want help? Has he tried to get help in the past and that help failed? If drug or alcohol issues, has he sought treatment and honestly worked a program or just gone through the motions?

Regardless, his mother has my sympathy, as do his neighbors. Living with and next door to someone intent on destroying their life is hard. If the perpetrator has sought treatment and the treatment failed, that is a tragedy for everyone. If he is just a thug happy with his life as it is, that's a tragedy for his mother and, yes, she should put on her big girl panties and show him the door. But we don't live in her house or wear or her shoes, so ....

Just saying he should be locked up is easy to say, but we need all the facts, not just the headlines.

I do not drink, smoke, take recreational drugs or anything like that. And I am usually very polite. In the Fall of 1992, I went to BYU Law School for ten days or so and was put off by all their rules but it was the pressure to convert to Mormonism from my Puerto Rican dancer roommate that really made me drop out. It did make me very interested in Law Librarianship though. I did work my way through the University of Denver to get a MA (May, 1984) in Librarianship and also earned JD from the University of Minnesota (May, 1989). I worked through my 2nd and 3rd Years of Law School.

I have met other Villager adult children who have many admirable qualities and are living at home.


Marquis Who's Who nominated me to 24 of their different publications from 1992 through 2004. That was while I was living at home working on my 224 613 Project with four degrees and winning often in my efforts internationally to get practical materials into libraries of all kinds for survivors/victims of crimes. I am listed in 14 of these various publications and all of this very hard work was done while living with my parents who admittedly have been wonderful putting up with me and my hobby.

I am still fighting for these survivors/victims of crimes with respect to practical information. I have probably done more for survivor/victims of crimes with respect to access to practical information than several working people combined because I do not have to get any approval from some University Committee to do anything nor answer to stockholders or whatever kind of organizational oversight. I do have to answer to any kind of governmental entities that do keep track of my efforts. All activists do have to abide by the various laws in their countries.
