He beat a disabled man who lives in the building. He’s one that I thought would snap one day and he did. Poor TJ the terror he had to have gone thru. So sad. ❤️ you TJ

He has terrorized many people over his sick miserable life. I’m not sure how La Crosse housing authority would allow someone who has abused many vulnerable people to live where they house many vulnerable people.
