My ex boyfriend just got out of prison for accessory to murder charge, we split while he was in prison because he stole from me things that were my fathers who at that time had recently passed away, & because I found out he was married after a year of being with him. He started being really weird before he got locked up, I told him it was over & when I was out buying a gun to protect myself from him (due to some crazy crap he was pulling), I came home to no power & him sitting in my bedroom, he had turned off all my power from the outdoor main switch.
I was relieved when he went to prison & I moved hoping he wouldn’t be able to find me. I am not listed anywhere public.
Then this weekend my current boyfriend (of 3 years) heard some noises outside our home about midnight & when he went out my ex tried to rush him (he is married so I don’t understand why he is stalking me). My boyfriend pulled my gun on him (which i got to protect myself from him) & he left pissed, squealed his tires halfway down the street. We have found his shoe prints all around the house & know he has been looking through the windows. He unscrews our light bulbs & leaves notes. He told me if I ever left him that he would kill me! I left him almost 3 years ago & now he is out of prison. I called the police & filed a report the night we caught him in the yard, they said they would call his parole officer & "beef up patrol". My boyfriend & I just went out & purchased motion detection systems & night vision cameras & since then he has already came back at 5:00am 2 nights after we caught him in the yard. The police haven’t been "beefing up patrol" & I underestimated how crazy he really is. I have a 9 year old son at home & I know I made a mistake by dating him in the first place but he tricked me into thinking he was a completely different person, I am human & made a mistake as everyone of us have, but I don’t want to die at the hands of a Psycho, what else can I do? He will hurt me if he doesn’t get what he wants. Please some advice….any….

I’ve seen these kids in every major city I’ve lived in. They typically hang out in touristy areas. WHAT ARE THEY? Is there anywhere on the web that talks about them??

Clothing style= Black and brown cotton/denim. Unidentifyable slogans crafted on, like with a paintbrush or sharpie. Torn off sleeves, ripped off cutoffs. Boots= always leather army boots. CROSS laced. No bright colors at all. No accessories except maybe shoelace necklaces. No nail polish or makeup.

Jewelry = NO SPIKES OR O-rings…..just the occasional nose ring or earrings. Always silver or iron looking. No gems. Sometimes a leather belt-like bracelet on one wrist.

Tattoos= Also minimal, often on the face. No words just tribal like decoration, blackwork. Look homemade.and are simple.

Hair style = Practically always home-done dreadlocks. Shaved undercuts. Artificial coloring or bleaching is rare and minimal. (like one odd highlight…)

Accessories= MOST COMMON= Camping-sized backpacks, sometimes even with musical instruments (violin, guitar, bongo). Sometimes the cases look expensive and sometimes they don’t.

PASTTIMES = Hanging out in public parks in a circle with mongrel dogs on rope-leashes. Rumor is that they travel the country on black-painted school busses or campers. Also a rumor that they fix up and squat in abandoned buildings.

PUBLIC INTERACTION = Hands out ‘zines" with titles like "FIX IT UP!" or "STOP ****ing and START A REVOLUTION!". Sometimes even panhandle with signs that ask for specific items "NEED SHOELACES" or "NEED FLOUR". I’ve never seen them ask for money specifically. They don’t give the "Panhandler’s Pitch" either None of that "dude I need 3 bucks for the bus and my mom’s sick blah blah blah.."

DIET/HYGENE = Most describe themselves as "FREEGAN" which means, yes, dumpster diving outside of supermarkets and bakeries. .Most are vegetarian or vegan also who eat like civilized human beings and keep gardens in vacant lots or even buy food with money from stores. They seem to know about soap+water, their clothes look dingy and their hair is wild but their faces and arms are clean-looking. Dispite ratty clothing and hair style, still have a nourished, healthy appearance, Some of the men even have well manicured facial hair like goatees…Dental care is same as any other population, varies with individual.

MUSIC = They carry their own instruments… Never seen with ipods or radios. They seem to just play whatever comes to mind, no identifyable style. Definitely not punk or rock of any kind in case you were wondering.

DRUGS = I don’t know…They don’t look strung out.

ANY IDEAS?
Nevermind, I found out what they were, they’re called Freegans.

And yeah I put it into this catagory among others because I also thought they’d be just runaways and well statistically a significant number of runaways are GLBT. No offense.

okay it looks like I answered my own question, there is a FREEGAN lifestyle it’s not just a diet thing.

Oh and Basketball? I’m taking the points back by flagging your chatty non-answer. =P
