This is so ugly and wrong. As news of this spreads, he will be the one who ends up not feeling safe and being run out of his neighborhood.

treatment is legal in Virginia. What were they waiting for - someone to burn a cross in the family's yard?

Glad to read that Mr. Herring thinks it is not legal.

Herring has a republican opponent.

Ask him what he would do differently about this case.

But still Eskilsden — who turns 48 next weekend — made no attempt to explain his seemingly racist behavior which has outraged his ethnically-mixed neighborhood in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Nor did his wife Marylou, 48. When DailyMail.com asked the jewelry store clerk if she had anything to say about the heartbreak her husband's actions had caused, she tersely replied 'No,' and got in her car and drove off.

Little is known about Eskilsden. He has no online profile. He has worked for PetSmart— and was wearing a shirt from the company when he appeared at his door on Friday. He is also believed to have worked in technical support for Canon.

In speeding case from years back, his height was put at 5 ft. 6 in, and his weight at 260 lb.

He and his wife filed for bankruptcy in 2005 when they said they had only $10 in their checking accounts. At the time he said he had a 5-year-old daughter and 3-month-old son. That daughter, Cynthia, is now 22.
