Rap sheets aren't just words on a paper like many say about an OFP. They are documented accounts of a person's capability and intentions.

Abusers DONโ€™T love you.

Abusers AREN'T sorry.

Abusers will NOT stop.

Abusers WILL change- they will get WORSE!

It's a pattern they learn, new victim - same results. It starts so nice, then their actions start introducing who they truly are but verbally telling you they're someone else. Someone that loves you. Someone that needs you.

This is where TRAUMA BONDING starts.

And while OFP's are paperwork filed with the courts, they ARE legal documents that allow law enforcement to do more when they are called than they could if the OFP didnโ€™t exist.

Domestic Abuser Charged With Biting Womanโ€™s Head! โ€ผ๏ธ

Dear Reader,

It is NOT recommended that you bite someone in the head when youโ€™re angry with them. ๐Ÿ˜†

๐Ÿ“We first see DONALD TERRIENCE THOMAS the Third in 2010, when he was charged with Domestic Assault By Strangulation and Interfering With a 911 call in the North Mankato, Minnesota area.

These charges paint an ugly picture, and unfortunately a lot of Domestic abuse in relationships arenโ€™t reported the first time.

Donald was sentenced to 365 days in jail due to the severity of the incident.

๐Ÿ“Between 2014 - 2025 Donald had charges related to Domestic Abuse, (two more times) Violation of a Protective Order, (three times) Drive By Shooting With a Dangerous Weapon, 2nd Degree Assault With a Deadly Weapon, Receiving Stolen Property, Threats of Violence and Fleeing Police.

๐Ÿ“Then on August 9th, 2026 police were sent to a Mankato residence after a call came in about someoneโ€™s head being bit.

No, Iโ€™m not joking. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

After the officer arrived, he spoke with the victim who was in tears as she told him what had happened.
According to the report, the victim had a friend over earlier at the house, and when the friend left they didnโ€™t close the door all the way, leaving it slightly ajar.

When Donald returned home later, he reportedly noticed the door ajar and became angry because he was paranoid that the victim had been cheating on him.

Remember those Domestic Abuse/Assault charges from earlier? Abusive men are statistically shown to be controlling, often narcissistic and insecure.

According to the report, Donald began screaming at the victim whiteout even giving her a chance to explain that it was just a friend that had been over.
The victim reportedly retreated into a bedroom for safety, but unfortunately it had no lock on the door.

It was shortly after that when Donald got on top of the victim in the bed and violently bit her head, according to the report.

After the victim told the officer this, he reportedly reached out and felt a large bump on her head, which caused her to flinch due to the pain and sensitivity.
It was at that point that officers contacted Donald in an effort to bring him in for questioning.

Donald reportedly told them in response that he would meet up with them, but never showed.

๐Ÿ“A warrant was issued for his arrest, and he has since been charged with two counts of Domestic Assault.

It Wasn't Always Seen as a Crime

For generations, violence inside a home was often considered a private family matter.

What happened behind closed doors was expected to stay there.

Police were often reluctant to intervene. Courts were reluctant to interfere. Victims were left to figure it out themselves.

Domestic violence didn't suddenly become violence when society started talking about it.

We just started listening.

And that's where change began.

๐Ÿ’œ Awareness matters. Because what we recognize, we can change.

The irony is not lost on us.

The photo on the left was taken on November 25, 2025, at Randyโ€™s charge hearingโ€”just weeks after the horrific murders of Justin Reinarts and Tabitha Trescott in Hanska, Minnesota.

Look at the sky.

Gray. Gloomy. Heavy.

It feels almost like a reflection of what that dayโ€”and the days surrounding itโ€”felt like for so many of us. There was grief, anger, heartbreak, unanswered questions, and a community trying to comprehend how we had lost two people who should still be here.

The photo on the right was taken today, October 5, 2026.

The same building.
The same flagpole.
The same sidewalk.

But look at the sky.

Bright. Blue. Vibrant.

Today, Randy pleaded guilty and was sentenced to prison for the heinous and horrific murders that occurred on November 2, 2025.

Today, accountability was delivered.

And while no sentence can ever bring Justin and Tabitha back, today felt like a moment where their voicesโ€”and the lives they deserved to continue livingโ€”could finally be honored through justice.

Justin Reinarts. A father. A son. A firefighter. A member of the community.

Tabitha Trescott. A mother. A daughter. A friend.

Two lives taken far too soon at the hands of domestic violence.

They deserved so much more life. Their families deserved more time with them. Their children deserved more memories. Their community deserved more moments with them.

But today, October 5, 2026, justice was delivered where justice could be felt.

And maybe we are reading too much into the sky.

But after everything that has happenedโ€ฆ

We donโ€™t think the irony is lost on Heaven, either. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’œ

Today, we look at that blue sky a little differently.

Justin and Tabitha will never be forgotten.
Their names will continue to be spoken.
Their stories will continue to matter.
And their lives will continue to be remembered.

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ November 2, 2025 โ€” We remember.
โš–๏ธ October 5, 2026 โ€” Justice.
