Tyrone Higgins, Mpls' serial ex-beater, has a can't-make-it-up Facebook profile

Higgins: "when Im mad I can be an %#&@$!" He can say that again.
On Friday, we told you about Tyrone Higgins, the 24-year-old Minneapolis resident who can't stop beating up his ex-girlfriend -- he's allegedly battered the woman four times in 10 months, most recently breaking her arm during an argument on May 20.

Shortly after we published the story, readers began directing us toward Higgins' colorful Facebook profile. Though it hasn't been updated in over a year, Higgins' "About Tyrone" section gives you a good idea of where his head was at in the months after his "BM" (that is, his "Baby Momma") obtained an Order for Protection against him in October 2010, shortly after the birth of their son.

It's hard not to feel a little sorry for Tyrone -- he clearly seeks a loving, happy relationship, and wants to be a good father. But his anger gets the best of him. For instance, though he claims to be "the best dad to my son," the police report detailing an April assault on his ex says he threatened the 2-year-old after the toddler accidentally head-butted him in the testicles. According to police, Higgins said: "What the fuck! When you get older, I am going to punch you in the balls!" Not exactly Dad of the Year behavior.

We'll let Tyrone's profile speak for itself:

We're not sure what's more attractive -- Higgins' propensity to use "lage word" frequently, or the fact he's working with a thick nine inches. In any event, his assets apparently haven't been enough for him to get past his now-pregnant-with-another-man ex, whose life he's certainly made a living hell for the better part of the last two years.

So he works for manpower - maybe some social responsibility in notifying his employees would help?

Too bad the "thick 9 inches" he's referring to is his skull...
