Jury seated in trial of man accused of targeting registered sex offenders
An Erath County jury of seven men and five women were seated on Monday in the trial of Charles Austin Broyles, a suspect unofficially dubbed the “vigilante shooter.”
Broyles is being tried for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with shooting a registered sex offender in the face in December 2023.
According to the arrest affidavit, Broyles was targeting registered sex offenders living in Erath County, accessing the list of names and addresses from the public sex offender website.

I agree with you. I welcome open minded discussion, and had hoped that by opening up the discussion forum that we could either change some minds or come to a consensus that would benefit all. I’m not seeing it. But the trolls will not scare me off. I’ve been swatted. I have been targeted by scammers (as have my wife and kids). I have been denied work and health care because of my charges which are now 12 years behind me. I have perseverance. Ernest Shackleton is my hero.

Here is the bombshell. The instigators are NOT providing F.A.C funding. Some Registrants are but many have stopped donating because of the harassments. Have I donated? No because I spent my entire life savings trying to get off the registry and am lucky to find a piece of moldy cheese on the ground to stay alive.
Somehow God provides me just enough to pay my bills but that is about it. I get a whopping $23 a month in food stamps and I have lost 40 lbs for not getting nutrition.
If I had the money, I would have donated, but even if now I had the money to donate, no way would give some money, just to have someone come on here and state we should all be back in prisons, all of us will eventually mess up.
But they do not control me, God sustains me and when it is HIS will, I will be free. Either from being removed from the registry and by going home to be with the Lord. I feel I have a lot more to give to the community and those I care about.
Last note, who wants to come onto to a site that is supposed to be welcoming and be badgered by haters and those who try and tear us down and not lift us up. I always try to be positive but there are final straws, the demons and tormentors who are sent to cause chaos among us.
I tell you now, if this is not correct soon, F.A.C will lose more and more supporters. Mark my word. And no, that is NOT what I want to happen but that is what will happen if no action is taken. We do NOT need to see what people are saying about us, like F.A.C states, We live it every day in our neighborhoods with the dirty looks, the nasty comments and the damage to our homes. We do not need to come in here (our safe place) and get a repeat of haters that we already get in our communities.
Peace I leave with you, and I hope changes for the better are in the horizon but as of now, I am just not seeing anything but division and hate.

sounds like its all about you… lost 40lbs, no food…….. There are people on this registry that are contributing( with even less than you have) We are PFR’S just like you. Don’t know who gives you dirty looks or damage your homes. To me it sounds like self pity. Good luck and sad to see you go.
Sorry to see you go but respect your choice.
