So what's the difference in what you're proposing and what he did to Peanut? I agree that he probably deserved whatever happened, but I hoped vigilantism was understood to be an obsolete response.

The guy hit Peanut with a gun, why is he not charged with assualt with a deadly weapon?
Alabama is too lenient on crime, in Fl. just having a gun on you during the commission of a crime automatically gets you 10 years behind bars.

I am not condoning what Mr. Vinson did to him, but at 1:30 am while drinking I am sure your "FRIEND" "PEANUT" can be a pretty SCARY predator!

I hope Mr Vinson sues Colbert County and OWNS the courthouse before this is all over! This "PEANUT" character is a predator who uses his "mental illness" as a crutch. It doesn't stop him from going to bars and getting drunk, or trying to GROPE both women and MEN on the city streets. This whole thing was one sided from the jump thanks to the reporting of the Times-Daily. The TRUTH about this WILL come out in court!

Having met him, I don't believe Peanut is mentally capable of the thought process needed to use his disability as a "crutch".

Rocky. You spread as much disinformation as FOX NEWS.

I think the guy deserves maximum time allowable for what he did. I met Peanut one time, and he was an annoying fellow, but not threatening. Vinson deserves full time.
But.... I visited the Facebook page linked to in another thread. The way people are mobbing up cussing him and his family being a bunch of internet bad asses is disgusting as well. I'd say everyone needs to leave his family along and let the judicial system do it's job and go on about their lives. Maybe in the future Peanuts mom, or better yet; some of the bad asses making soap on a rope jokes from the safety of their computer can band together and keep Peanut out of bars at 1 AM. How about that?

Don't you wish everyone displayed your high standard of internet conduct?

I have lived in Sheffield for a long time. In years past, I have given Peanut a lot of rides, money and clothes. I stopped because on one such 'ride' he changed destinations on me and wanted to be dropped off at a much farther location than I had agreed to. I was in somewhat of a hurry, but was already on the way to the same place he originally wanted to go. When I told him no he started yelling and pounding on my dash and door. I slammed on the brakes and told him to get out, he would not and continued beating on my car. I ended up getting out and dialing the police. When I told him what I was doing he finally got out. I hung up on SPD dispatch without saying anything. Before I took off he kicked in the side of my door. Had that been anyone else, I would have beat them down and then called the Police. I opted to cut him off from any further cash or rides. I see this guy almost every day.
'Peanut' is a late 40-something year old man with the mentality of a 1st grader. He can be the sweetest guy you will ever meet and sometimes he is. As well, he is not always the nicest guy either; pretty much what one would expect of a 6 year old. He wanders all over the area at all hours of the day and night. Most of you people jumping on the 'Peanut' bandwagon have never met him. I would also be willing to wager a hefty sum that you same people, before this incident, would be at least a tad bit terrified if he ran up on you at night asking for money and a ride. Ladies? Be honest, if he ran up to you at night when you walked out of the grocery store...alone.. asking you for money and a ride...and a HUG???!!....I am willing to bet NONE OF YOU would have given him anything...probably not money...certainly not a ride...and without any doubt definitely not a hug. You folks need to get off your high-horses and quit being so quick to judge people. If you are honest with yourselves, the thought of this guy...the REALITY of 'Peanut'...repulses the vast majority of you.
I am not condoning or defending what this Vinson guy allegedly did. I am defending his right to a fair trial. If he's guilty I say string him up by his balls and let the whole town throw rocks at him. HOWEVER, if he's not guilty, I say the exact same punishment should be handed out for all of you.

The guy who beat him up gave him a ride to a bar?
