White nationalist activist Augustus sol Invictus​, ​whose birth name ​is Austin Gillespie​, and his father John Gillespie were both arrested on separate charges last weekend.

Invictus was arrested earlier this year on charges of kidnapping, “high and aggravated” domestic violence​, and possess​ion of a firearm ​while committing a violent crime after he allegedly choked his wife​, held a gun to her head​,​ and forced her to accompany him to Florida with him. ​According to The Informant, a South Carolina judge ​threw out the kidnapping charge and allowed Invictus to leave jail with a $10,000 bond despite Invictus’ wife begging that he stay behind bars for her and her children​’s safety. The judge’s order required Invictus to not contact his wife.

Invictus was arrested after violating both the no-contact condition for his release and a protection order forbidding Augustus from contact​ing his wife until February 2021, according to an affidavit for​ an arrest warrant provided to Right Wing Watch. The affidavit states that Invictus’ wife swore in a written statement that Invictus made contact with her at a park and made “daily third party contact” with her demanding to see their children. In one instance, according to the affidavit, Invictus sent a text message to their daughter instructing his wife to bring their children to the park “or else,” and in another​, he told their children that their mother was a “whore” because she had a conversation with a stranger.

The affidavit states that Invictus’ wife estimated that he contacted her “20 plus times” through their daughter since his release from jail in attempts to harass her. Additionally, officials obtained messages from Invictus’ phone in which he sent photos of his wife’s vehicle and license plate to others in an effort to locate her and was “tracked driving in circles,” likely searching for his wife’s residence.​

4. We had an asshole Director of Prisons

years ago in SC. He started off by saying that he was going to make changes so that “it won’t be fun to be in prison anymore.” He if course left “to spend more time with his family” when the State could no longer afford all the lawsuits (things like taking away showers and lawyer visits as punishment).
So, add getting COVID19, and prison probably isn’t the happy place it used to be.

5. I wish some investigative journalist would

document - state by state- how many women have been murdered by their abusers, who have been accorded bail, by lax judges. Also, a list of judges, whose decisions have resulted in the most deaths.

These abusers (and most are men) do NOT respect SROs, police officers, judges or the law. When they do finally end up in jail, they become ever more hardened in their malicious behavior, and once released are 1000 times more likely to go after their wives, girlfriends, even their children.

And a wood-chipper is too good for them.

Right now, domestic abuse is sky-rocketing - globally -as women and children are forced to quarantine with abusers.
