Mardell...the guy needs an ass kicking, anger management and a vacation away from everyone else. Sounds like he's a bit of a domestic terrorist.

It would seem that Mr Hirsch's problem is that he can't take no for an answer from his ex. You will notice excempt for the burglary charge, it is all pretty much related to his pursuit of his ex girlfriend, a Phsyciatric evaluation seems to be a logical next step.
