Is it really necessary to prosecute the guy? sh*t, if he paid for the repairs I wouldn't press any charges.
Have you ever been interupted in the middle of watching **** by a guy waving his sword around? Yeah I didn't think so.

Although this man would appear to be overzealous, it's nice that he did something. There are plenty of people who just say, "oh yeah, I heard the screaming but I didn't think it was any of my business".

Exactly. I think most of us would just assume it was none of our business and ignore things like that. It reminds me of a couple friends of mine (twin brothers in fact). Both are into the whole ren-faire stuff, complete with fighting in armor and using swords. Trust me. If you were in trouble, these are the two guys you'd want to have walking by when you called for help. When they were in their teens, they were hanging out at my cousins' house (playing roleplaying games no less!). They all heard a noise. My cousins' were still trying to figure out what the sound was while the two brothers both lept up from their chairs and speed out of the house. The quickly located the house next door where the elderly lady had fallen (and couldn't get up apparently). We're talking literally by the time anyone else had realized there was something happening, they'd already broken into the womans home, one was rendering assistance to her, while the other was calling 911 on her phone.
I'm not saying this guy is the same sort of personality, but I do think it's somewhat dangerous to throw the book at people who react in that manner. Because the next time, it might be you who needs help and if we teach those potential good samaritans that they're going to be punished for trying to help, they'll stop doing it.

Refrain from helping others whenever possible, I guess. At least, if You carry a sword.

But if Van Iveren was attempting to rescue what he thought was a woman in danger he was "obnoxiously late," said Stieghorst, who said he watched the movie between 1 and 2:30 a.m., but Van Iveren did not burst into his apartment until about 11:30 a.m.

He does sort of look like conquistador who's spun on meth. You'd think a guy like that would recognize **** sounds.

Ok, so he doesn't look friendly, I'd be scared pissless, too. Pressing charges is a bit harsh though. Fixing the door, lock, and swearing to never let anyone know I pissed myself at the age of 39 would be enough for me.
but why is the file name "****022107-125.jpg?"

I hope the most they give him is community service. At least that would get him out of the house.
The man meant well, and I know that in our society that doesn't count for much and the details of the situation make it laughable, but if things had turned out to be as he feared they were, we'd all be hailing him as a hero...if a bit of a strange one.

Did you miss the part where he didn't kick down the door until 9 hours after he supposedly heard the screaming?
And the file name is "****" because this is February in Wisconsin and that's all we have.
Well, yes, that little detail was left out of the original story.
A nine-hour-late rescue attempt, eh? Probably didn't want to miss Judge Judy.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
I forwarded this to my boss and he **** himself laughing.

OCONOMOWOC, Wisconsin (AP) -- A man says he broke into an apartment with a cavalry sword because he thought he heard a woman being raped, but the sound actually was from a pornographic movie his upstairs neighbor was watching.
"Now I feel stupid," said James Van Iveren, who has been charged in the case. "This really is nothing, nothing but a mistake."
According to a criminal complaint, the neighbor told police that Van Iveren pounded on the door and kicked it open without warning February 12, damaging the frame and lock. (Watch what damage Van Iveren allegedly left and how the neighbor will watch **** in the future )
"Where is she?" Van Iveren demanded, thrusting the sword at the neighbor, the complaint said. "Where is she?"
The neighbor told police Van Iveren became increasingly aggressive as he repeated the question, insisting that he had heard a woman being raped. The complaint said that, with the sword pointed at him, the neighbor led Van Iveren throughout the apartment, opening closet doors to prove he was alone.
The neighbor later played for police the part of the DVD he believed Van Iveren heard downstairs.
Van Iveren, 39, of Oconomowoc, was charged with criminal trespass, criminal damage and disorderly conduct, all while using a dangerous weapon, and is scheduled to appear in court March 5. Together, the misdemeanor counts carry a maximum sentence of 33 months in jail.
Van Iveren said Tuesday that he heard a woman "screaming for help," grabbed the sword, bounded up the stairs, kicked in the apartment door and confronted the man who lived there.
"I intended to hold it behind my back and knock. But I froze and instead, what happened happened," he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Contesting his neighbor's account, Van Iveren said he didn't look anywhere in the apartment except the front room, and that he never threatened the neighbor with the sword.
"I had the sword extended, but that was all," he said.
Van Iveren, who lives with his mother in the downstairs apartment, said he did not call police when he heard the noises because he does not have a telephone. He said he barely knew the upstairs tenant.
Police seized Van Iveren's sword, which he said was a family heirloom
