Sounds like the guy is/was battling some intense demons, and this incident was his coming to Jesus moment. For 99.9% of Americans, life really can't get much worse than DV and assaulting a police officer.
Mike loves attention. If he was “battling some intense demons,” you’d think he’d get in front of some cameras to talk about it and regain some public sympathy.
Some people are just selfish jerks!
It's crazy isn't it. Like if when the school said his kids absences were unexcused and he just said okay fine he probably would be living a totally different life. Even if he had just sent the letter to the principal to argue that the kids got an educational experience from going to Boston instead of school, it probably would have ended right there and his life would have just continued as it was. Instead he decided to post something to go viral, and his life has spun out of control.
All these years later every time this guy slips up LetsRun comment board catches it.
The lesson he actually taught his kids and maybe all other kids should be, stay off social media.
I mean, there are hundreds of millions of people on social media who manage not to launch their reputations into the sun.
I think the lesson is not to make everything about you. Mike escalated a routine argument with his kids’ school into a self-laudatory media tour that ultimately resulted in the word realizing he was a cheater and a fraud.
I’m sure this guy has a lot of “what-if’s” in his mind, but I hope he correctly identifies his deceptive behavior as the source of his troubles, not a website that held him accountable.
Someone else mentioned Mike “raises a lot of money for charity.” If he’d simply gotten into Boston through that route — as most people of his ability level would do — he probably wouldn’t be so infamous. Would he still have multiple arrests? Hard to say.

Except this was an arrest from like a year and a half ago.

Apparently he’s raised a few thousand for mental health charities.
Was it for the Mike Rossi bail fund?

Mike, libel is written or published, slander is spoken.

Does assaulting a cop make him a hero to the SJWs on the board?
Only if he is a minority and/or a leftist.
Boy, it sure it's great to be a white man in America.
A black man walking down the street, minding his own business and he gets killed by a cop simply because of the color of his skin. A white man can do crap several times and can smilingly tell the tale.
OY
The local news website refers to Rossi as a ‘Milkshake Duck'. I had to look up what it meant. Police Chief is surprised that Rossi didn't get jail time.

" After telling Rossi they were going to tase him if he didn’t calm down, the cops did just that, "
oh who else would have loved to watch that happen?
The cops probably had it on their body cams. In theory, anybody can file to get ahold of that footage. So if you really want to see it, you probably can.
Two words: white privilege.

He was first given the handle of "The Duckster" here due to his distinctive running form.

"Milkshake Duck is an Internet meme that describes people who gain viral popularity on social media for some positive or charming trait but are later revealed to have distasteful histories or offensive behavior."
Sums up Mike quite nicely.
Description is too polite though for those of us on here who know him by following the saga from back in the day, ya know, pork roast and gun, all that sort of stuff, domestic violence, etc.

Ken Stillman sure knew how to upset Rossi. With the truth.
RIP, Ken. RIP

This guy is clearly a ticking time bomb and a Grade A jerk-off but the legal system isn’t designed to hold people like him accountable.
My hunch is he's connected and either 1) had a good lawyer 2) knew the judge or 3) a combination of 1) and 2).
Montgomery County is the same county that botched the Bill Cosby situation.
