I, too, am well aware of this creature. Back in my days in law enforcement, I gained the call sign, and nickname, “TAZ”, for the Tasmanian Devil. On certain calls, mostly domestic where a woman, and/or child had been abused, I was very well know to ‘lose my cool’ and forget about the badge I was wearing.
One such incident happened when I responded to a house fire with the fire department. At the call, I was only a couple blocks away and it was reported people were in the house. Arriving, the neighbor screamed that the wife and child were in the home. I ran in, finding the child in her crib, which was burning. The mother was on the floor by the crib. I picked both up and got them out of the house. The mother and child were rushed to the hospital where the child passed the following day. The mother was transported to the burn unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. She had suffered a severe beating at the hands of her husband. The child had been beaten, sexually assaulted, and burned over 60% of her body.
The husband, father, had gotten drunk. When his wife refused him sexually, he beat her unconscious. Raped and beat the child. Then he poured gasoline through the house, and in the crib. Set it in fire and left.
After I got the mother and baby out if the house, the ambulance had arrived as the fire department was pulling in. My partner pulled in as I got into my patrol unit. I sped out of there and went hunting. I found the man at the bar. I didn’t say a word to him. I hi him with everything I had. Knocked him off his bar stool, and beat him unconscious. It took 4 men to pull me off this piece of garbage. When he came to in the hospital, I was there. I handcuffed him to his hospital bed, and I made him a promise.
I promised him if he ever laid eyes on his wife again, I would hunt him down and finish the job I started. I would see to it he was put in the ground. I meant every word I told him.
He ended up sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
What a warrior you are! I admire your strength of mind and bravado. How sad that the man was so wicked to his family. It almost brought me to tears. I hope the woman survived and recovered from the experience. Thank you so much for restacking: Which animal is called devil? BLESS YOU!
