Why abusers pull SWAT team standoffs: BECAUSE THEY CAN (Brevard County, Florida)

The SWAT team standoff with dad CHRISTOPHER LYNCH is Very Big News today in Brevard County, Florida. But how did this father get to this stage of criminal audacity? How do you get to the point where you feel totally entitled to take your "estranged" wife and two children hostage at gunpoint?

How do you get to Carnegie Hall?

Practice, practice, practice. And with lots of mollycoddling from the local judges, so you KNOW you'll never be accountable, and never have to put up with any annoyances like jail. Your buddies always have your back, you know!

Thanks to some quick legal research by a local woman, we can proudly tell the world just how CHRISTOPHER LYNCH made the big time. And we have lots of little people to thank:

First, we'd like to acknowledge Judge T. Mitchell Barlow for a domestic violence dismissal after a hearing in 2002. Who knows? If Dad had had the book thrown at him back in 2002, maybe his criminal career wouldn't have gone to further meteoric heights!

Case Number: 05-2002-DR-019371-XXXX-XX
Filing Date: 04/26/2002
Case Type/Cause of Action: Domestic Violence w/Children
Case Judge: T. Mitchell Barlow
Result: DISMISSED AFTER HEARING

And we mustn't forget Judge John T. Moxley, Jr. for his supportive role!

Filing Date: 07/13/2009
Case Type/Cause of Action: Domestic Violence w/Children

And last--but certainly not least--we must express our sincere appreciation to Judge James H. Earp:

Case Number : 05-2009-CF-043253-AXXX-XX
Filing Date: 07/13/2009
Case Type/Cause of Action: Other Crimes Against Person:

Unfortunately, we don't have time to thank all the legal talent who further emboldened dad by dismissing all his motor vehicle violations and the like. But you know who you are!
