i stayed in a halfway house for a few months in baton rouge, Louisiana. there were a lot of very interesting people there, as with any halfway house. one of them, a guy named conor, was a guy who confused me. i didnt know what his deal was. he was an absolute freak, he weirded me out, and for that reason i kept my distance from him. he never made a funny joke, he never contributed much to conversations and he never did anything useful. all he really did was sit there, make off-colored remarks, and laugh at strange times.
the halfway house was basically 5 really small houses on one property, 3 being for residents, and 2 for staff. this was an all male halfway house with no internet. that being said, there were a few porn dvds, and magazines floating around. one time, conor thought he had one of the 3 houses to himself. all of his housemates had evening shifts that night, so it was just him in there. a good friend of mine and i were on the porch of the house next door having a smoke, we noticed the blinds to conors house were wide open. this guy conor, was in the middle of the living room floor, knees bent, ass sitting on his feet, jerking off watching porn on the tv. my friend and i had a good laugh and ignored it.
another one of conors wonderful character details is that every once in a while he would burst into a fit of rage for no reason. there was this dude named jeremy, he was one of the nicest dudes ever. he actually bought me at least 50 meals while I was there just because he liked me, and i wasnt the only person he did that for. one time jeremy was telling a story to a group of us, on the back patio behind the 3 resident houses. the story had absolutely nothing to do with conor, and conor came running over screaming at the top of his lungs, and i dont remember exactly what he said, but what i do remember was jeremy very reasonably saying, "what the fuck are you talking about?" and then conor again, face red, screaming as loud as he can, "HOW DARE HE SAY THAT I CANT HIT WOMEN" and then he punched the exterior of the middle home with his right hand, breaking his right wrist. he walked around with a cast for months after that.
i really dont even know why conor was there, i remember it was something not very serious, like drinking and driving. he claimed to be an alcoholic, but i never saw that in him at all. he never seemed like a partier, he never ever told one story about drinking, positive or negative, and if he did they were so boring and mundane that my brain completely wiped over them. i never saw him as someone who was addicted to a substance, he always just seemed like a mental case.
that being said, when conor left this halfway, i guess he went on to date a girl from LSU. I don't know the full story, but he ended up stabbing her to death, and now hes facing life in prison. just this morning i read that in 2022 he was trying to plea insanity, i dont know if his case is going on but let me say this, that man is 100% insane BUT he 100% knows right from wrong. in no way should he be put in a mental hospital at this point. that guy knew exactly what he was doing. ive spent months around him, and i did not like him for many reasons, but his manipulative nature is definitely a big one. he belongs in prison until he's dead, no question.
