Is It Now Legal To Impede Law Enforcement?



Interesting.The Bundy Brothers and their entourage have been acquitted of any wrongdoing in the charges against them, stemming from their standoff with federal officers earlier this year, in Multnomah County, Oregon. For just under six weeks, Ammon Bundy and some of his family and friends engaged in a standoff with the federal government over the right to use land at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge for ranching. The Bundys thought ranching and all of the farm waste and trampling of plant life by cattle was in order for the wildlife refuge, and government officials told them to ranch elsewhere, preferably on their own property. They chose, instead, to threaten police with guns and stay there, making a giant mess, for over a month. Now they have been acquitted.

There are two reasons why this is outrageous. First; most people who threaten cops with guns end up either dead or serving prison sentences. Why is this group different, and why did a jury think threatening a cops with guns is okay? Second; Bundy and Company made a terrible mess. Below is a picture of part of the mess they left behind, when they were arrested in February of 2016.


Another question some people might ask is whether or not it is now legal to question authority in the ongoing conflict involving the Dakota Access Pipeline. On Thursday, police arrested 141 people, Native Americans and environmentalists, who protested in North Dakota because the crude oil pipeline will go through water supplies and burial sites. Police have been brutal toward protesters, regardless of whose land is involved. Why do the Bundy Brothers get to stage a standoff, while others cannot even exercise their first amendment rights?

Frisbee Golf, Anyone?




While on the subject of abuses of law enforcement, and unlawful search and seizure, here's some cell phone footage from Ankeny, Iowa. A cop was simply not satisfied with a routine traffic stop and expressed an unrequited desire to unlawfully search the car he had pulled over. The driver declined the offer, and eventually left, but not without recording the incident. Now the police in Iowa want everyone to know that they are terribly sorry about the whole thing, and that it is just a small, isolated incident. Once again, the advice is worth reiteration: always record interactions with police.

Another Kansas Amber Alert


This is a picture of fifteen year old Nomei Velazquez, from Texas, and an older man with whom she disappeared yesterday, after school. In fact, she did not go home from school yesterday. Juan Delacruz, the suspect, drives a silver 2004 Volkswagon Passat, with Texas plates DF7T507. There is an active Amber Alert for Nomei, whose nickname is "Mimi", and her cell pinged, earlier this evening, in Lenexa, from a cell phone tower along Rt. 35. Nomei is about 4' 11'' tall, and about 120 lbs. Delacruz is about 5' 11" tall. 

Here is what a 2004 silver VW Passat looks like:


If you see the vehicle or Nomei and Delacruz, please call the Kansas Bureau of Investigation at 800-572-7463 or dial 911.

Kansas Focuses On Stalking?

Yes, you read the question correctly. WIBW has reported that Kansas is (ahem, cough, cough, cough, smirk, giggle, cough) focused, because January is National Stalking Awareness Month, on reducing the number of stalking incidents in Kansas! Where's the eye-rolley when I need it?


In March of last year, a woman whose son's romantic overtures had been consistently rebuffed by a young girl at Frankfort High School, in Marshall County, Kansas, decided to stalk the girl's mother by following her through Frankfort one evening and getting out of her car when the girl's mother parked at her home. Instead of using the principal's office as a place to promote her son's wild oats and desirability as a prom date, the woman wanted to use the front lawn of the girl's family. She also wanted to blame the girl for her son's obesity and the resulting medical and self image problems. The magistrate judge in Marshall County denied the family a no-stalking order.

Later on, during the summer, the son of the Marshall County prosecutor took a drive through the cornfield of a Marshall County farmer. He used a vehicle belonging to his parents, the same vehicle he has used on mailboxes in Marysville, Kansas, in the past. (information courtesy of neighbors and victims) No protective orders, as of yet, have been issued against this particular hoodlum to ensure his arrest should he revisit the homes and properties where his tire tracks have been found in the past; yet, a random citizen was almost blamed for damage to county attorney's vehicle, damage which most likely incurred while her own child was using the vehicle to vandalize the property of others! The Marshall County magistrate judge thought that this was proper, until the random citizen consulted an attorney. When the Marshall County prosecutor realized that she was going to have to begin to pay out of her own pocket for her frivolous legal actions and accusations against innocent citizens, she ceased her false accusations of the random citizen, yet did nothing to warn others to protect themselves and their cornfields, gardens, and mailboxes from the real threat and the vehicle used for damaging property. So much for stalking awareness in Marshall County. Any anti-stalking laws in Kansas are only used in Marshall County as a form of harassment, not as a form of protection. Those who truly need protection are denied.

Fast forward through a couple of seasons of threats and harassment to stalking victims in Marshall County, followed by denials of protection orders from the magistrate judge. The day after Christmas, the lawn of the family of the above mentioned Frankfort stalking victim had a drive-through visit by a vehicle belonging to the family of the stalker that they had in March. The sidewalk was also used as a street for vehicular traffic. Law enforcement declined to make an immediate report about the incident. Very early the next morning, the same vehicle plowed, once again, through the victim's lawn, grazed her front porch, and proceeded through the neighbor's front lawn. Had Angela Hecke, magistrate judge of Marshall County, Kansas, seen orders against trespassing and stalking as anything besides political tools to be used against Jews, and other non-christians, perhaps the family experiencing the threat of getting run over by vehicles could have had an order in place, ensuring attention from law enforcement at the onset. It's hard to imagine that Kansas is focused on stalking when a magistrate judge encourages repeat instances of drunk children driving on sidewalks, into lawns, and up to the front porches of victims.

Oh stuff a sock in it, McQuade! You don't know anything more about what happened to Kyron than Kiara does!
 
You know exactly who you are. And you also know that you have an insatiable interest in this case, particularly in probing facts and fantasies that have not been speculated or published by law enforcement. You do this, in fact, so much that you actually impair the chances of this case being solved. No missing child deserves that.
 
I am curious, you smelly, lazy, mooching creature; just how do you know which posters on the internet know something about what happened to Kyron and which posters don't? Don't you think it's time to become productive and SHARE that knowledge with law enforcement? As you do not have any children, you have no idea what it is to parent, and be responsible for a family, so what is your interest in this case, anyway? Blackmail? Did you see something and decide to use it to scare someone into paying you a stipend for the next few years? It's beginning to look that way to me, because your counterproductive rants really do nothing besides put Kyron in greater danger, should he still be alive, and break the hearts of family members even more. I think you should stfu.
 
 
Your dumbass cryptic message to me about black cadillacs really looked like a threat. No one's gonna pay you for anything until you get a job. Stop taking up space in emergency shelters that is meant for people who've been affected by emergencies.
 
 
This is Kyron Horman. On the left is how he looked at age seven, when he disappeared from his school in Portland Oregon, in June of 2010. The next to pictures are age progressions. If anyone knows anything about this case that could bring Kyron home, please call the numbers under his pictures.

Kansas Cops And Addison Mikkelson



Such insecure police officers. Beating up older women and breastfeeding mothers in Kansas hasn't satisfied law enforcement's hunger for violence; now they are after children! Seventeen year old Addison Mikkelson had a new camera the day before yesterday. He went out to take pictures, and settled on an arrest that was being made at a Kwik Stop in Topeka, Kansas. No one had a problem with Addison and his camera; he was on the sidewalk. Just as things were winding down, an unoccupied cop approached Addison to snoop at his ID and express annoyance and paranoia at being caught on camera. Another idle officer soon joined. When Addison asked why his ID was necessary, the cop put his paws on the camera. Addison asked him to leave it alone, and the cop kicked it. Then he picked it up, and promising to handle it carefully, put the camera down in the snow. Believe it or not, there are actually a few Topekans who think Addison still owes respect to law enforcement in Kansas! Sorry, Kansas, but respect is a two way street. It has to be earned, and these officers did not earn this teenager's respect.

The two wannabe swat team dudes then decided to arrest Addison. Now he has been charged with obstruction of justice. They cited jaywalking as his crime, yet arrested him for something completely different. Should jaywalking be a crime that carries jail time in Kansas, and should a teenager be plucked off the street by violent cops for jaywalking or for using a camera?

When Cops Kill People In Front Of Your Face




It might be a better idea to dial 911 and only give a location and very brief description of the situation, when reporting lethal police brutality, rather than explaining that the police have just beaten someone to death. Ask for an ambulance, describe the brawl, but don't reveal that law enforcement made the whole thing happen. If the dispatcher knows the police are beating someone to death, he or she is very likely to allow the beating to continue until law enforcement calls. Certain targets are chosen in advance, and will receive no help from emergency dispatch. Once the ambulance arrives on the scene, capture the response on video. If the police do not immediately cease and desist their battery of the victim, and move aside for paramedics, that footage should be copied and turned over to the FBI, the local media, and to the general public for scrutiny. Under no circumstances should it be kept private. Even a victim who is lucky enough to survive has a responsibility to cancel law enforcement's free ticket to beat their chosen targets to death.

Cierra Swodeck Is Missing

 
 
Cierra Swodeck, of Lawrence, Kansas, is seventeen years old and was last seen on October 6. She was in foster care in Russell, Kansas, and it was "reported" to her natural mother that a "friend"drove Cierra from Russell to Topeka. It has been almost twenty days since this young lady has been seen by anyone who knows her. That's long time for a seventeen your old to be missing.
 
There are some questions that do not appear to have been addressed by the media in Cierra's case. First; why did law enforcement and the media wait until over two weeks had elapsed to publicize this case? Second; why isn't law enforcement airing this case? Why isn't social services doing more about it? Why is the natural mother, whose parental rights had been suspended by the foster care system, the only person who cares enough about Cierra to pass out flyers, talk to the media, and look for her? Third; Where were the foster parents when Cierra went missing, and what is their timeline on October 6? When a child or an adult is missing, and is being held against his or her will, if the missing person is going to be murdered, it usually happens within the first three hours. Two and a half weeks is way too long of a time to wait to give the case attention. Social Services and the foster parents also have a share of responsibility in this; the taxpayers should not have to think that child protective services will snatch children from parents who love them, place them in living situations hundreds of miles away from home, and not lift a finger, or a phone, when children disappear. There is a Marshall County Kansas foster parent who allows foster children to drink and drive drunk, and even though the police are required by law to arrest any child in DCF custody caught drinking, they never bother.....so it comes as no surprise, here, when law enforcement takes twenty days to start publicizing a foster child's missing persons' case. And, of course,  what were those foster parents doing on October 6, did Cierra have a cell phone, and why did they not have enough control over the goings-on in their state approved foster home to ensure that Cierra did not leave without asking? Finally, did Cierra really go to Topeka with a friend?
 
Anyone with information about Cierra or her whereabouts should call the number to the Russell County Sheriff's office on the poster above.

Your County Prosecutor Might Have An Ethics Problem If

Your county prosecutor might have an ethics problem if:

►She cherry picks juries to consist of close friends and relatives of plaintiff.

►She knowingly charges people with crimes they did not commit.

►She falsely claims she does not have evidence that she does, indeed, possess when discovery is requested, only to reveal, at trial, that she has the very same evidence, and has had it all along.

►She targets random people by calling as many of their friends and associates as she can find, threatening them with legal action if they continue friendship with her "target".

►She continuously becomes entangled in cases from which she has been recused due to conflicts of interest.

►She bribes witnesses or threatens witnesses, depending on her needs, in order to compensate for her lack of litigation skills.

►She spends all day on Facebook and other social media sites, while sitting in her taxpayer funded office.

►She attempts to bias judges using information unconnected to any case from said social media sites.

►She orders law enforcement to refrain from arresting underage drinkers who are prosecution witnesses in current cases she wants to try.

►She destroys her own property in order to gain attention and sympathy.

►She blatantly lies in court.

►She uses law enforcement as her personal goons, while others need law enforcement for legitimate reasons.

►She attempts to use federal law enforcement agencies to attempt stop malcontents from photoshopping her picture.

►She does not understand the first amendment.

►She instructs local law enforcement to use violence against victims of domestic violence, in order to ensure that they will testify.

►She threatens the security of children in order ensure that mothers will testify, or testify falsely, to suit her agenda.

►Her prejudiced tendencies interfere with her judgment, her job performance, and her ability to be impartial and fair.

All of those flaws are symptoms of two major problems when found in elected prosecutors. Obviously, any fighter who resorts to dirty or dishonorable means in order to win does so because he is either not entitled to the title of "winner", or unskilled and unequipped badly enough to lose in any skirmish. Both are disconcerting in a county or district attorney. Another problem that should not be overlooked by voters in a locale wherein such persons as prosecutors are elected is the moral issue. Remember what rolls downhill? This happens when corrupt and dishonest officials at the top run rampant, unchecked. It is bad enough when a dishonest congressman or senator is bought, but a county prosecutor can be used by rich and prominent bullies within a community to harm and ruin the lives of those who are not wealthy enough, or otherwise equipped, to stand up for themselves. Such officials are bad for the communities the allegedly serve.

There IS help for such individuals. The help often comes in the form of an official complaint to the bar association. In the event that your county attorney is elected, help can also come in the form of a recall or an impeachment, should the bar association take it's sweet time to pull the license of such an individual. Help also can come in the form of a lost election, should an opponent and informed voters prevail. Chronic failures in personal and professional ethics on the parts of elected officials, especially within law enforcement and the court system, are serious. The community should not ignore it.

University Of Southern California Rape Case

 
Actual response from law enforcement to a victim over a sexual assault at the University of Southern California. Does this mean that if a gun does not fire, it was not attempted murder? Or if the fire went out before any damage was done, it was not arson?

I understand what you told me, and I feel for you. The next time the juvenile male of whom you spoke destroys your property or threatens you, file a report with law enforcement. Judge Hecke will probably tell you that you only have hearsay as evidence, but I have personal knowledge of a case where she KNOWINGLY listened to fabricated, completely untrue hearsay and acted as if it were true. Since you and I both know that your version of these events is true, I will go to court WITH you, and ask Hecke, myself, why the person in the aforementioned case is more important than a teenage girl. Even if law enforcement does nothing, insist upon documentation that you spoke with them. That way, if you encounter harm from the same source at another time, you can prove that you have done everything in your power to put a stop to it. When you allow this juvenile male to get away with destroying your property or harassing you, you write him a ticket to harm others, as well, in the future. Godspeed!

New Mexico Law Enforcement Misconduct




I agree with the journalists' statements concerning the misguided arrest of this New Mexico diabetic, who was having an hypoglycemic attack, with the exception of the closing remark. The last statement made on this newscast indicated that because of the investigation concerning this, there might be some "changes in the way police handle medical emergencies". I would certainly not count on that. Not at this point in history, and not without some very serious changes in the amount of power we give law enforcement. Also, police "investigations" are really police cover-ups, most of the time, and those who investigate errant police officers and prosecutors usually make excuses for them, rather than protect the citizens from them.

Is This Who We Pay The Police To Arrest?




Okay everyone; THIS is law enforcement nowdays. The young man in the video was arrested in California because he stopped and filmed the police in action on his cell phone. This is NOT against the law in this country, anywhere, yet; the man was arrested for obstruction of justice. Most likely, the police officers thought, based on years of past experience, that an innocent person arrested for obstruction of justice would not bother to fight, but just plea. And, most likely, these cops thought they could do whatever they pleased, also based on past experience.

Watch this video, and watch what happens to the man's dog, who reacts defensively when police falsely arrest him and manhandle him. It is important to stop allowing law enforcement to get away with this. The best tool that we have to keep the egos of cops in check are digital cameras and cell phones. Remember that.

Smart Dog!




That video is hysterically funny! But the savvy pet owner will take this a step further, and attach a small camera to his pet's collar! That way, the dog, hiding or not, can get his own footage of any police activity on private property, or anywhere, for that matter! It's a whole new concept in accountability of law enforcement! Streaming video from a camera on a pet's collar to a the cell phone, Ipad, or computer of a third party might actually take a sizeable chunk out of brutal attacks by police officers. The prosecutor in Marshall County, Kansas would have to scare and bully defense witnesses all by herself!

 
Maybe a day will dawn, during my lifetime, when law abiding citizens will not have a need to install their own checks and balances when dealing with law enforcement and the judicial system.

Ann Bernadette Cooney Missing

Ann Bernadette Cooney is missing from St. Marys, Kansas, and has been missing  since May 31. She is seventeen years old, and is considered a runaway by Pottawatomie County police. Even as a runaway, twelve days is a long time for a seventeen year old to be missing. If you see her, or know where she is, please call St. Marys Police Department at 785-437-2012.

 
Hopefully, she will be found before this picture needs to be updated.

Advice Concerning Police And Civil Rights

This was shared on Facebook this morning. There's a lot here, so I just shared it as a picture. I would only add a few things. If the police stop anyone, not only do you have the right to photograph and document everything you see, you also have the right to video the encounter. Quite a few police officers do not yet understand this. We have a police officer with Marshall County, Kansas who will even grab telephones, both landlines and cell phones, out of the hands of bystanders to stop children from calling parents and to stop neighbors from calling babysitters and relatives when children are left by themselves as the result of an arrest. In addition to not consenting to any warrantless search of your person or possessions, I would advise that you carry as little personal information on your person as possible. Do not carry you social security card in your wallet, but leave it in a safe place at home. You do not have to give your social security number to law enforcement; cops are not loan officers.....they do NOT need that information for anything! Just tell them you do not remember the number. Only carry one form of identification. If you have a passport, drivers' license, and other types of ID, you only need to have one in your wallet at a time. The less information had about you by law enforcement, the safer you will be. Concerning law enforcement and the rest of the current judicial community, it is best to live among them as in surrounded.

The Meaning Of Conception

I really thought I was only jesting when I wrote this post, just over a month ago, concerning Kansas Governor, Sam Browncrack, and his proposed legislation stating that life begins at conception. Apparently, the United States actually has a few morons in the judicial branch of government who actually might consider pressing charges against women for spontaneous abortions. In Mississippi and Alabama, women who have miscarried or given birth to stillborn babies have been charged and prosecuted under laws that were written to protect children from exposure to the manufacture and trade of methamphetamine, and in Virginia, legislation requiring women to report miscarriages to law enforcement has been proposed! At this point in our history, we do not have the medical technology to even begin to diagnose the cause of each and every spontaneously aborted pregnancy. How can we charge the mothers with criminal acts? What about the fathers, and possible flawed sperm?
 

It really seems as if, back in the day, when I saw this movie the first time, I heard the chorus as:
"Every sperm is sacred,
 every sperm is blessed,
 if any sperm was wasted,
 God would sure be pissed!"

In Case You Skipped Church On Sunday

Lately, I've been shaking my head at the silly-assed notions of naive, Northeast Kansas, fundamental Christians. Their unquestioning acceptance of an unnecessary messiah from a completely unfamiliar culture for unexplained reasons remains a mystery and a travesty of rational thought to this blogger. If I were to nominate a random Jewish guy for the position of Messiah, it would certainly not be Jesus Christ, or Yeshua; it would be Abbie Hoffman. But then, that idea is actually not original to yours truly. The yearly festival known as Abbiefest showcases drama productions of up-and-coming talent and uses the catchy descriptive phrase: "Abbie Hoffman Died For Our Sins"!

Why did Abbie Hoffman die for our sins? What, exactly, are our sins, as a nation, here in America? Why has any revolutionary of distinction died for our national hypocrisy and complacency? These are questions that our schools are not even teaching our young people to consider. In fact, the young and foolish principal of a certain Northeast Kansas school specifically told me that he does not remind children of their fourth amendment rights when government officials overstep constitutional bounderies and use the school as a forum for evidence and information gathering concerning matters not connected to the school. Interesting......this is NOT what I pay for, via my taxes! It is one of the sins for which many of our leaders, revolutionaries, and military heros, ever since the Revolutionary War, have shed blood and died.

Take a good, long look at the uses of law enforcement to control the general population in recent years. The Christian churches, along with the fairy tale icons they employ, are no longer effective in controlling the masses, so now the government is using police intimidation to scare and control Americans at large. While Jesus Christ did not die for anyone's sins, Abbie Hoffman certainly went out of his way to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable!

The Justice Community Wonders Why It's Not Getting Justice

In light of the recent shooting of a district attorney and spouse in Texas, this article was published on ABC News concerning the recent expressions of disrespect and violence toward law enforcement and prosecutors in the last year or so. Before I say any more, let me state that I do not condone violence, murder, or threats, and that I do not think that violence is an appropriate answer to the misunderstandings that have been mounting, for awhile, between the judicial community and the people they should serve. I think awareness and information are much better tools. That said, I also hope that the families of Mike and Cynthia McClelland will find peace.

Since the Declaration of Independance was drafted, the judicial process has been used, not only for seeking actual justice, but for more subtle means of "sending messages" to certain segments of the American population. The American public has seen, tolerated, and wholeheartedly accepted racist laws and policies, laws that have targeted the poor, sexist practices within the justice system, selective uses of prohibition laws to hound otherwise innocent people, and many, many more abuses of authority and justice. The reluctance of many courts to set aside or throw out guilty verdicts that are contradicted by forensic evidence that becomes available after trial dates is also disturbing. When the population at large begins to take note of criminals with more money and better lawyers experiencing favor in the courtroom, while poorer criminals, and sometimes innocent people, do not get proper legal counsel and are often found guilty of felonies, what do judges and cops expect everyone to think? Not that we haven't always had a certain amount of corruption within government agencies, we have; but since the dubious "election" of Bush Jr. in 2000, the judicial "war on the poor" seems to have become more fervent. Along with that, the economy has gotton less stable, and the number of citizens who have found themselves targeted by law enforcement for no reason and shafted by the courts with no recourse to competent legal counsel has increased. Also, has anyone noticed the number of misdemeanors that have turned into felony crimes lately? Not only does this put certain minorities in prison to serve longer sentences, it strips the targeted minorities of voting rights. Hence, the Fair Sentencing Act. When an entire population becomes legally disenfranchised, and everyday exchanges become criminal acts, the judicial and law enforcement communties should not be surprised at a certain amount of hostility.

Recently, I witnessed an exchange between two people, which; unfortunately, resulted in an arrest. While I witnessed most of the incident, I did not see a crime committed by either party. One of the "officers" involved insisted that I had seen a criminal act, and when I continued to tell him what actually happened, he became agitated and told me what my statement should be, informing me that I was about to "find out how powerful police in Marshall County, Kansas are" if I did not "cooperate". Verbatim quote, folks. He also threatened to go inside my house, wake up all my children, and take them away from me if I did not begin to make statements that coincided with the report he so much desired to write. Because I am stubborn and truthful, I stuck to my guns (no pun intended) and stuck to the truth. He got off his high horse when he ran out of threats, went back to the police station in his shiny police car, and wrote a statement that basically and unbasically isn't true. He even referred to yours truly as a "liar' several times. Lots of impartiality he expects from the court, I guess.

Later on, the district attorney, still lacking a written statement of events from yours truly, contacted me to tell me what I needed to say. I interrupted to her to remind her that the truth is more meaningful than her expectations of a guilty plea and the fines she was hoping to collect from the defendant. She became quite disturbed, and told me that she would contact social services and have them remove my children from my home if I did not "cooperate" with her..........! So; not only would I discover how "powerful" the police are when someone confuses them with the facts, I might also discover the consequences of refusing to read a "script" written by a crooked district attorney, rather than offering true testimony!

As it happens, I have been threatened by smarter, more powerful, and sexier individuals than this district attorney, so I promised her that I would be honest and never back away from what I know to be moral and honest. And social services has apparently been too busy with things that are real to come and visit me. But suppose I had taken the bait and drunk the koolaide? "We're gonna have your children taken away from you if you do not testify according to our script that we write for you in advance." "We're gonna take your children away if you don't say the right things to get your neighbor/friend/family members put in jail." That's a loaded threat. If this kind of crooked game is becoming commonplace across the country, it's no big surprise that prosecutors and law enforcement are having problems maintaining their own safety in their communities. Here's another example of the Marshall County Kansas district attorney's tactics, this time with a defendant. The woman was coerced into a guilty plea via threats to her children by the district attorney. According to the Marysville Advocate: "During court proceedings, Baynton’s motion claims, Kraushaar assured her she could file for a departure from the prescribed sentence for the crime she was pleading to, but after she entered her plea she said the attorney told her no departure would be allowed and that she must agree to consecutive maximum sentences. She also states that the state "repeatedly used the issue of the custody of the defendant's children to coerce her plea of guilty." The motion says her attorney "should have blocked this coercion and did not."


The defendant in the above case has already been granted a new public defender. If the court grants her motion to change her plea, that will indicate a lot of judicial and personal waste and aggravation just because the prosecuter is ungifted enough in courtroom strategy to threaten the children of witnesses and defendants whenever possible so as to avoid any real show of litigation skills, or as in this prosecutor's case, lack thereof. If law enforcement and prosecuting attorneys have actually turned a corner in legal strategies and decided that using the children of defendants, witnesses, and others involved in cases is the new forte in courtroom finesse, we can probably expect more anger turned toward the judicial and law enforcement communities.

"hey adkins how about i kill you if you get on my computer again"

......Excerpt from Facebook page of the youthful police officer who enjoys telling older women that they are going to "find out how powerful" he and police force are. In a lot of places, law enforcement is expected to be more mature and set a better example than this. It's also the kind of response law enforcement wants the rest of us to believe they don't want in their everyday lives. Why, then, do they exhibit it and force everyone else to live with it?

To the person who thinks that following me from one location to another in her car is an appropriate means of self expression, (and if you are reading this, you already know who you are) let me inform you of this: stalking another person is unlawful. If you continue to stalk me, and if you continue to harass me and continue to instruct your son to harass me, I will involve law enforcement. No kidding. If you have a problem with the fact that my daughters are not allowed near your sons because you do not supervise your sons properly, and your house is nothing short of an STD-fest when you are not home....probably when you are home too, that's just too bad. No loving parent allows his or her children to spend time with children such as your sons. If you have a problem with anyone in my home, get an expert opinion about what's really going on. I just spoke with faculty at the school, and discovered that what you told me was completely false, so you actually DO NOT have a problem with anyone in my home. What you have is a whining, dishonest son. Do not stalk and threaten others. This is the only time I am going to warn you: LEAVE ME AND MY FAMILY ALONE!


P.S. If you have something to say to me, say it to me. DO NOT take your whiny-assed little problems and complaints to ANY of my children, you dumb bitch.
