I had tuned out this thread for awhile as Greer himself was getting more boring. But this whole new court saga is great, especially as he isn't the one initiating it! Like courtrooms, Russ? Well, now you get to spend lots of time in one!
As for the debate of whether or not Greer is dangerous, I am firmly in the "yes" camp.
We have been very dependent on the testimony on this guy from the two sources we have that actually know him: Corey and Nips. Personally, I think they BOTH are right, but just coming from different perspectives.
Corey: He looks significantly larger than Russ, and was boss of him. (we assume this was at Walmart, but I don't know if that was confirmed? Corey doesn't name the place of work on the Greerstream with Rekieta.) Russ is probably child's play to deal with compared to some of the other people Corey had to boss around if it was indeed Walmart. That's not even mentioning the customers, who tend to create a huge red mark on crime maps around the stores. Russ was probably the least of his problems. And I fully believe that Russ is meek IRL when confronted with actual men. But Corey did say he had a pattern of following ALL female employees and stalking them at work, even the 2s and 3s. Russ is "9s and 10s only" just online apparently.
Nips: She has been very vehement on this and I believe her. She has mentioned growing up in the hood and probably has a fairly strong danger detector. She knew a more mild, less insane version of Russ, and feels that his behavior has escalated from the time when she knew him. Keep in mind, they had to pay homeless people with biscuits to make him go away, so it's not like he was easy to deal with back then!
Guns issue: Russ may be a spastic gimp, but I have no doubt he could hold a gun and at least threaten a woman into complying with him. If you can play piano at a semi-competent level, you can fire a gun at an unarmed victim from a few feet away. Hell, his frozen face may even be an asset once he locks onto a target... and that wouldn't even matter much at point blank range. Honestly, though, I don't think that is what would happen. I see him much more likely to do something stupid like grabbing a stripper's arm and not letting go if she didn't properly give him a lapdance or maybe a hooker who didn't adequately suck him his penis. That is the kind of assault I can see Russ attempting and getting in trouble for before he ever escalated to guns.
TLDR: I think Russ has capacity for danger to women (not men) and I hope he learns a big fucking lesson from this experience, even if he doesn't wind up with jailtime.
