How to avoid libel and make something publicly known?

My dad works as a realtor and he hands out flyers to the neighborhood every so often. Recently he has gone crazy, hit most of my family, laughed about giving my mom STDs, etc. I want it to be publicly known that he is unsafe to be around and customers shouldn't work with him, but I don't know how to do that without getting arrested. Ideas?

Why do atheists in America think that the Holy Bible isn't true?

Under U.S. law, in order to be guilty of libel against a public figure or once public figure ( i.e. Jesus Christ), a publication must be shown to have knowingly, or with reckless regard for the truth, disseminated facts that were false and defamatory.

Don't you think if the Holy Bible is against that law, it would be ban from selling on the market?

Where does that guy get off saying Wikipedia is the place to go for "phony, inaccurate information"? Someone needs to drag his behind into court to answer for his horrible lies.

How can I get him to back off?

Sorry, it's quite long, I'll try to cut it down...

I met a guy called David at my brother's birthday night out last year, they're good friends. We hit it off and went on a few dates, but both agreed we would keep it casual. He was straight out of a long-term relationship, and I'm US Army, so I can't commit to anything right now. For someone who wanted casual, he was very clingy. He ...

Question about false imprisonment?

Okay, here's a hypothetical situation:

Person A willingly goes to Person B's house, so no kidnapping. Person B keeps Person A locked in their basement for, I don't know, several months against their will. Person B does not physically harm Person A, or neglect their needs. Person B eventually lets Person A leave. Is false imprisonment the only crime Person B committed?
