My brother is in ICU right now.
I'll give details later. He's alive, but that's all I know for now.

What a horseshit two weeks it has been for me. :cry:

9. Update:
My brother was out drinking last night, and he drank too much and passed out at a bar in the middle of nowhere. While he was passed out, some assholes wrote all over his back in magic marker and robbed him of all his money.

He would've been dead if a girl he went to the bar with didn't call for an ambulance.

I am so pissed and upset right now.

I don't know what I'm going to do. I'll be back later.

14. Err
Thanks for the update. I think that it is good that your brother has made it to folks who can do the things needed to repair him. I hope the local PD is looking into this. Perhaps, you may be able to track down those who did this. I hope you can see your way to passing any information you may find along to those doing the investigating. The last thing anyone needs in all of this is more victims. The last thing WE need is for you to become a victim.
I hope your actions are guided by clear thoughts and NOT clouded by anger. Good luck Err c
