Great Things Happening With Vegas Heat

It has been about two weeks, since, I have been able to do anything that write in the text box for the title of my blog; therefore, everything, I wanted to say, I had to say in abbreviated fashion, but I still had huge titles.  Hopefully, those of you who don't like reading long ass blogs, were grateful for the vacation from my verbosity, and those of you who love the longer, verbal assaults, will as least get a buffet dinner today, rather than just a little snack.  I have missed writing my blog the way I have for the last year and a few months, so we will see if I can still remember, how I used to do them.  Okay, just to get you up to speed on my travels, since, last week . . . I started out in Missoula, Montana, because I wanted to be in that city for the new grand opening of the Poverello Homeless Shelter, which, I am glad to report from first hand witnesses, that they absolutely love it, couldn't be happier, and whomever made the plans, designed the building, and did so with known needs in mind did an excellent job, and there was even a Christmas tree gracing the dining area, for the one meal that I got to eat there, other than the celebration for the opening.

You Have Heard of the Street Lawyer . . . Well Now, You Know a Street Stylist--What an Inspiring Story!

So many times, where a person lives, makes all the difference on how they behave, and I think there will be a marked upswing in the attitudes, personal feelings of safety, and needed care, that amazing changes, will happen, and hopefully many people who stay there, either for a few days, for for the 45 day transitional housing allowance, or more long term residents, like the vets, many will be able to say, you transformed me . . .  Along the lines of behaving better, based on where you live, or under what conditions, you find yourselves in, there was a great article in the Law Vegas Review Journal, about a high end, hair stylist, from New York, who for the last two years, almost every Saturday, hits the streets in search of homeless people who need hair cuts.  In the article, Mark Bustos, found a homeless man, who also had HIV or Aids, who was living in a homeless shelter, and he volunteered to cut his hair.  After the styling hair do, the man, said, You still got it baby . . . and he went on to state, that he felt like a King!  

Mark Bustos, started cutting his friends hair, in his parent's garage, so his friends could pocket the hair cutting money, their parents gave them.  He went on deciding to make a living, and ended up being a really great stylist, probably because he started his profession at the ripe young age of 12 years old!  But, he often charges up to $150 per hair cut, to top end clientele, so he really knows how to make people look stunning.  After cutting one man's hair, the guy looked in the mirror, and said, I wonder if anyone is hiring?  Mark, never saw the man again, on the streets, and hoped, that was due to being inspired by his new, hair cut, and a good one can do that much for you.  Other hair stylists have tried to join Mark, and tag along, which is prefers, so roll alone, and tells them, just get out on the streets and do your thing, many have joined in the effort, once they get over the fear of dealing with, bed bugs and boogie men!  Lol!  They really are not that scary, you just need to get to know them, many have had amazingly interesting lives, and just see things a bit different that your average Joe and Jane, who prefer to play it safe, and get your old 8 to 5, jobs.

SOMEONE HAS SET THE STANDARD FOR COOL . . . MANY ACROSS THE NATION JOIN EFFORTS TO MAKE PEOPLE LOOK & FEEL GOOD!

Along this line, there are also stylists in Kalispell, Montana, who volunteer to cut kids hair before school, and it seems to me, while I was down here in Vegas, there was a similar thing happening down here, I remember seeing some kids, coming into the Nellis Blvd, McDonald's, were I can get free refills, on a Diet Coke for a buck, so always tempting, but several kids came in right before school started, and they were styling for sure, coolest hair cuts, I had seen!  And a group of hair salons, stylists, and photographers, volunteered, to do hair, make-up and take free family photos, so people could have some great pictures of their families, to commemorate the Christmas Season of 2014 . . . I think, this happened in Missoula, and it seems, that they were inspired by someone, and that may have been, Mark Bustos, actually?  Kudos to all of you, there really is nothing that makes you feel better, than a really nice hair cut!

Vegas Police, Doing it up Right--Community Policing, Piloting Shirt Cameras, and Working with Faith Leaders on Policies that will Guide Police Interactions, Rather than just the Cops' Words

Now these are some pretty impressive statistics, dropping crime rates, by 75% in as community, with the nick name, the Baby Ghetto!  Under the mantra of No More Room for Violence, one of the toughest communities in Las Vegas, officially called, Sierra Oeste, police, neighbors, parents, and kids, celebrated, a one year challenge to clean up the image, the mistrust, and outright fear, of the people who lived there, too afraid to come out of their homes before, holding a BBQ dinner.  If anyone is a somewhat, regular reader of this blog, or may have read my kind of sarcastic blog, last August, when my cousin overheard on the radio, that the cops were sponsoring citywide, neighborhood BBQs, and my reaction, was, yeah, like, run if they say, now what was your name again?  LOL!  I thought, I am so sure, that anyone is going to voluntarily go have dinner with the cops . . . perhaps, at Christmas, you might let your little, pre-pubescent teens, Shop with a Cop, but I wouldn't trust them!  LOL!

Well, apparently, law enforcement worked some magic, in the Baby Ghetto, and it worked!  The year long initiative transformed a crime ridden community, to place where people feel comfortable, even welcome the cops presence there, it is like a new community, one that has no more room for violence, and it is working, domestic violence is down, assaults, sexual assaults, robbery and property crimes, now that is the way to transform all communities across America.  One of the really great things about our federalist system, is that is seems, that most good ideas, come from the ground up, then spread, statewide, moving from state to state, as cops from around the country, meet, share their success stories, as I am sure this will be, both as a success, and as a story to be told, and ideas to be shared with other struggling communities, giving everyone ideas of what to do with a lack of trust, that is rampant, in all walks of life, not just on the streets.  

  

I remember being here in August, and is was hotter than hell, in fact, the bottom of my running shoes, would heat up, just walking a block or two down the street, that my feet were literally being cooked, in my shoes, for about an hour after any short walk . . . the reason, now, that I have black shoes on top, with white soles on the bottom.  But I remember, reading this sign on the buses, and the streets, that said, Vegas heat is nothing to mess with, or something along those lines, and I applied that to their cops, rather than the sun . . . sounds, like they are taking a different approach, citizens should not be afraid of law enforcement, and having some face time with them, talking with them, and working out problems, can really help.  And that is just what is going on here, again, in Vegas . . .

Faith Based Community Leaders Helping Cops Make Policies

One of the most prominent groups of people, and the most effective, in controlling the crowds, and demonstrations in Ferguson, Missouri, was the members of the community clergy. As confrontations between cops, militarized and protesters happened, often faith leaders, with the trust and respect of the community, either stepped in, circled the protesters, protecting them from direct blows, or worked to keep the agitated, youth, working for good, rather than looting, stealing, and acting out, looting and burning stores, homes, or overturning police cars.  So this is a very critical part of the community to pull into the decision making bodies, to help write, work on, and agree to a strategy, that will work, in local communities, that differ in make up, backgrounds, and value systems, that the police, don't have time to find out about, that make a huge deal, when getting to the street mentality of the community, or changing things on the streets. 

Las Vegas cops, got several community grants, to use to pilot their use of body cams, and to work on the policies surrounding the use and implementation of the cameras, and the faith based leaders told the cops, that is was imperative, that they help to write the policies, that cops use.  It is a proven fact, that the more skin you have in the game, the more you will work to make your ideas happen and work.  There were several great pictures of this meeting taking place.  From the looks on the faces of both the cops, and the clergy, there were exchanges of information that was unknown, or not understood, prior to the meeting, with perplexed looks on their faces, I am sure, that each side will better understand the workings, to issues, and the challenges, of making this pilot plan work, and how educational. We need policies, not police, to determine, the order of the day, the dictates, justice for all, fairly and evenly meted out.  The faith leaders, said, once they know what the expectations of  law enforcement are, the community churches, can work with the youth, and educate them, so there are no more losses of life, and everyone, will know, before hand, what is expected, and what the outcome will be, if a, b, or c happens, leaving no one guessing, what the policies are . . . so good!

The focus on policies, take policing to a new level, one of professionalism, immunity, protection for both the cop and the suspect, or person being stopped, detained, or questioned!  This takes away, the element of arbitrary and capricious justice!  One size, fits, all, and application of the law, is married to science, if you will, and those strategies and policies, that appear to work the best, within the framework of the law, as codified, either by constitutional or statutory laws, can be carried out with uniformity, colorblindness, and fairness.  And I think, that is about all anyone can expect.  With cops having to make hair-triggered decisions, they need, something concrete, some training, that will kick in, that has become almost part of them, like Miranda rights, have of the past, something that protects all parties, and makes the exchanges between cops and community, clean, with uniformity and order, that can be relied upon, carried out, firm but fair . . .

Comfort is the Killer of Creativity

This last week, David Choe, a renowned painter and Facebook multi-millioniare, came to play in Las Vegas, and enjoyed himself to the point of excess, which is the order of the day, in this town referred to as Sin City, but the man, made some pretty astute comments, that caused me to stop and think, and it might help you also, when you get a bit down . . . he said, My best work came from rejection, hatred, getting dumped, and living in miserable conditions.  When he drops $250,000 on a single hand of Poker, or whatever his gambling choice of the day is, remember, that when all is said, and done, he chooses, to live in a small, shabby apartment, so he can remain at the top of his game.  There is no magical formula for success, or creativity to spring from, and for pure genius to come out of all of us.  We are where we are, we take it from here and go forward, with whatever it is we are dealing with as a person, a city, a state, country, or world . . . We are meant to do amazing things!

If You Are Still Bitching & Moaning about the Cost of Obamacare--STOP SMOKING!

Smoking costs burden our healthcare system--of every $10 spent on healthcare in the U.S., almost 90 cents is due to smoking, that is from a study coming out of the Center for Disease Control . . . we are all  in this together!  We all need to do our part to keep costs low . . .

Good News or Bad News?

Cops collected 4,000 plastic weapons and toys they collected from children who were asked to exchange toy guns for other toys and sweets . . . just FYI.

WE ARE GREAT, AMERICA . . . KEEP SHARING YOUR IDEAS, CREATIVITY, AND GOOD WORKS!

Remember . . . the Gift of Gifts, JESUS!     

GARDEN OF PEACE: NORTH KOREA & CUBA ALL IN ONE DAY, NOT BAD, SINCE BOTH WERE ON THE LIST OF COUNTRIES, ONLY 4 FROM AROUND THE WORLD, THAT AMERICA DID NOT HAVE DIMPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE PRESIDENT OBAMA OR THE SECRET GARDEN OF PEACE, ANTI-TERRORIST GROUP, MAY TAKE ONE MORE OFF THE LIST, IRAN, LEAVING ONLY ONE NATION TO HEAL RELATIONS WITH, AFTER THE BIG THREE GO DOWN--THE ALLEGED TERRORIST GROUP, TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SONY HACKING, TERRORIST THREATS TO THEATERS WHO SHOW THE FILM "THE INTERVIEW", AND HACKING OF EMAILS, PERSONAL INFORMATION AND COMPANY NOTES AT SONY . . . HEROES WHO JUST MIGHT HAVE STOPPED THIS ACT OF WAR, BEFORE IT BECAME A WAR! IT IS ALL IN THE NAME, THE CLUE, WHY AND WHO . . . (1) SONY WAS IRRESPONSIBLE TO MAKE A MOVIE, WITH THE CIA, WHO IS ACTUALLY A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, AND NOT A JOKE FOR ASSASSINATING FOREIGN LEADERS, SEEKING TO HAVE KIM JONG UN ASSASSINATED--I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE STORY WAS THAT THE TWO JOURNALISTS WENT OVER AND ACTUALLY BECAME FRIENDS, AND DECIDED NOT TO CARRY OUT THE ORDERED HIT OF KIM; HOWEVER, ONE CLIP OF THE MOVIE THAT I SAW ON THE NEWS, ACTUALLY SHOWED KIM BEING ASSASSINATED, NOT A JOKE IN OUR COUNTRY OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES, WHERE THAT IS A DAILY THREAT, AND A REAL THREAT. NORTH KOREA, WITH BIG BROTHERS RUSSIA AND CHINA, STANDING BEHIND THEM, READY TO JUMP ON THE CHANCE TO TAKE IT TO AMERICA AT ANY TIME, ARE A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER--IT IS NOT WHO YOUR ENEMIES THINK YOU ARE, BUT WHO YOUR ENEMIES, MIGHT ANTICIPATE, JOINING YOU--ANY ENEMY THAT IS AN ENEMY OF MY ENEMY, IS A FRIEND OF MINE. SOMEONE ON MORNING JOE MSNBC NEWS, THIS MORNING SAID, WELL, OR MAYBE IT WAS FOX OPINION, BUT SOMEONE COMPARED IT TO MAKING A MOVE ABOUT THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT BUSH, OR EDWARD SNOWDEN OR JULIAN ASSANGE . . . AMERICA IS A FAR CRY FROM NORTH KOREA, AND EDWARDS AND ASSANGE ARE NOT WORLD LEADERS. (2) KIM JONG UN, IS YOUNG, AND SAW THIS AS AN "ACT OF WAR" AND IT ACTUALLY IS, WE ARE JOKING ABOUT THE ASSASSINATION OF A WORLD LEADER, LIKE THAT NEVER HAPPENS . . . 4 TIMES IN AMERICAN HISTORY, AND IN MANY OTHER COUNTRIES! (3) KIM IS YOUNG, WHAT SOMEWHERE AROUND, ONLY 29 OR SO . . . HE IS NOT A MATURE LEADER, HAD HIS UNCLE KILLED, HIS AUNT LOCKED UP, AND HE DISAPPEARED FOR ABOUT 63 DAYS, SOME THINK FOR HEALTH ISSUES, WHICH CAN BE A REACTION TO STRESS, OR IT COULD BE MENTAL ILLNESS, OR WHATEVER, NOT SOMETHING WE WANT TO ACTIVATE FOR COMEDY REASONS . . . HAVE YOU SEEN THEIR ARMIES, MARCHING IN THEIR RED SQUARE? (4) LIKE WE HAVEN'T HAD A HISTORY WITH NORTH KOREA, HAVEN'T ALREADY GONE THERE, A PREVIOUS MILITARY ENGAGEMENT? (4) SERIOUSLY, THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD, NEEDS TO BE SENSATIVE TO WORLD POLITICAL ISSUES, OR HIRE SOMEONE WHO IS. I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND OUT THAT SONY HAD MADE A FILM LIKE THIS. AS A CONSTITUTIONAL LAW ATTORNEY, I AM FULLY FOR 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH, BUT TAKING LIBERTIES, WITH WORLD LEADERS, WHO ARE LIKE POWDER KEGS, JUST WAITING TO GO OFF, IS ANOTHER THING ALL TOGETHER. (5) THE GARDEN OF PEACE--IT IS ALL IN THE NAME, SYMBOLICALLY, TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, MAY EVEN BE THOUGHTFUL, SOPHISICATED THINKERS, WHO SEE THE WORLD AS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE, THAT NEEDS PEACE, NOT WAR, AND TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES, TO DEACTIVATE OR DISENGAGE, AMERICA AND FOR THE SAKE OF NORTH KOREA, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT, OR WE GET INTO ANOTHER MILITARY CONFLICT, LIKE SYRIA, IRAQ AND AFGANISTAN ARE NOT ENOUGH FOR US TO DEAL WITH--THEY COULD BE FORMER EMPLOYEES, WHO DIDN'T AGREE WITH THE PROJECT ALL THE WAY ALONG, AND WARNED SONY EXECUTIVES, OR JUST PEOPLE WOULD ARE MOVING FOR PEACE AND TAKING AN ACTIVE PART. (6) THE FBI, STATES THAT THEY ARE ALMOST SURE THAT THE HACKING WAS DONE BY NORTH KOREA--DON'T YOU THINK THE FBI OUGHT TO BE SURE? INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, IS FAR BETTER THAN BLAMING AN INNOCENT PARTY WHO WAS JUST UPSET, SEEING THEIR HEAD BLOWN ALL OVER THE BIG SCREEN, AT THE DICTATES OF THE CIA, WHO HAS NO BUSINESS CALLING THE SHOTS FOR ANY COUNTRY, INCLUDING OUR OWN! AS I LISTENED TO THE FBI, ANALYSIS OF THE WHOLE HACKING THING, THEY BLAME NORTH KOREA, A LIKELY SCAPEGOAT, WITH MOST OF THE MASSES WHO ARE ASSES, AND THAT GOES TO THE TOP OF THE RANK AND FILE OF CONGRESS AND THE NEWS, BLABBING OFF ON SOMETHING THEY HAVE GIVEN LITTLE THOUGHT TO, AND THEN BLASTING THEIR OWN INANE IDEAS TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY! AND THEN THEY LAP IT UP AS IF IT IS THE TRUTH! THE HACKING APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN DONE FROM OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY . . . REALLY, THEN, JUST MAYBE IT WAS NOT NORTH KOREA WHO DID IT! THEN THE FBI SAID THAT IT WAS A VERY COMPLICATED HACKING JOB, THEN IN THE SAME BREATH, TURNED AROUND AND SAID THAT IT WAS SO SIMPLE, THAT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE DISGRUNDLED EMPLOYEES OF SONY! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER MAN! AND ADDING TO THE GARDEN OF PEACE, PRESIDENT OBAMA, SHOCKED THE NATION, AND ADDED CUBA BACK INTO THE GARDEN, OPENING TRADE, EXCHANGES AND TRAVEL THAT HAS BEEN BLOCKED, SO EVEN CHRISTMAS PRESENTS TO FAMILY MEMBERS COULDN'T CROSS INTO CUBA! CUBANS AS WELL AS AMERICANS ARE CELEBRATING THE 50 YEAR LIFT OF SANCTIONS IN TRADE AGAINST ONE OF OUR CLOSEST NEIGHBORS. YOUNG REVOLUNTIONARIES LIKE THE CASTRO BROTHERS, AGE, MELLOW, CHANGE, AND RAUL CASTRO AND PRESIDENT OBAMA'S 45 MINUTE CONVERSATION WAS HISTORY MAKING! PRESIDENT KENNEDY, SHORTLY BEFORE HE WAS SHOT, WANTED A DIFFERENT, BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH CUBA, AND THAT WAS WHY HE WAS SO PISSED OFF AT THE CIA, BUSH, AND OTHERS WHO WERE PLOTTING TO OVERTHROW CASTRO OR ASSASSINATE HIM . . . LIKE KIM DOESN'T HAVE HISTORY TO LOOK AT! IN FACT, JUST SHORTLY BEFORE THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION, THAT WAS AN INSIDE CIA JOB, ALONG WITH OTHER ENTITES WHO WOULD BENEFIT POLITICALLY FROM HIS DEATH, KENNEDY WANTED TO RIP THE CIA INTO A THOUSAND PIECES FOR LYING TO HIM, NOT FOLLOWING ORDERS, CONTINUING TO SHIP GUNS INTO REBELS, AND DOING WHATEVER IN THE HELL THEY WANT, AND WE THINK THEY HAVE CHANGED? KIM HAD EVER REASON TO FEAR, THAT INFORMATION IN THE MOVIE, MIGHT ACTUALLY BE THE TRUTH! WHEN THE UNITED STATES CUT OFF TRADE WITH CUBA, GUESS WHO THEY WENT TO--YOU GOT IT, RUSSIA. NOW WHO WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE BREATHING DOWN YOUR NECK FROM 90 MILES OFF THE SHORE OF FLORIDA. THAT IS ALL WE NEED IS A STRONG ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA, WITH CUBA ALLOWING MILITARY BASES TO BOTH RUSSIA AND CHINA, AS FELLOW COMMUNIST PLAYERS! THERE IS ALWAYS THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS, AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, WE CAN ALL JUST WORK TOGETHER AND HAVE A GREAT NEW PLANET, WAR FREE--WHY NOT? RUBIO, ACTING LIKE A SPOILED BABY AND OFFSPRING OF CUBAN EMMIGRANT PARENTS, PISSED THAT HIS FATHER'S ENEMIES ARE NOW WORKING WITH AMERICA, SAID, THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST NEGOTIATOR IN THE WORLD . . . YOU DUMB ASS! HE IS PULLING OFF GREAT SHIT, THAT NO OTHER PRESIDENT HAS IN 50 YEARS. LIKE THE PREZ. SAID, THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY IS TRYING THE SAME THING FOR 50 YEARS AND EXPECTING TO GET DIFFERENT RESULTS! LET'S TRY SOMETHING NEW! LIKE A WORLD, THAT WORKS TOGETHER TO END WAR, END DISEASE--CUBA, ALLEGEDLY HAS DEVELOPED A CURE FOR DIABETIES II, THAT WE DON'T HAVE! THERE ARE ALSO 400 MEDICAL STUDENTS ATTENDING MEDICAL SCHOOL IN CUBA, AND THEIR ONLY CRITERIA WHEN GRADUATING, IS TO WORK IN RURAL AMERICA! DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A COUNTRY TRYING TO HURT US? MANY CONGRESS MEMBERS, SAID, WELL, THEY GOT THIS OR THAT, AND WE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING. JUST HAVING GOOD RELATIONS WITH OUR NEIGHBORS, IS ENOUGH, AND THE BENEFITS COULD BE AMAZING, IF WE ALL WORKED TOGETHER, DIDN'T TRY TO GET YOUNG MUSICIANS TO STAGE REVOLUTIONS AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT IN CUBA--REALLY, LET GO OF THE PAST, CUBANS, HAVE THE GOVERNMENT THEY WANT. YOU GET MORE WITH HONEY THAN VINIGAR! WE CAN'T BE AN INFLUENCE FOR DEMOCRACY, BEING THEIR ENEMIES! MY SON IN LAW IS OF CUBAN DESCENT, AND I AM SURE HIS MOTHER, WHO STILL DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH, HAS BROTHERS, SISTERS, NEICES AND NEPHEWS OVER IN CUBA! MY SISTER AND BROTHER-IN-LAW WENT TO CUBA A FEW YEARS AGO AND LOVED IT; CUBA USED TO BE AMERICAN ELITES PLAYGROUND . . . WE COULD BUILD THEIR ECONOMY THROUGH OPEN TRAVEL, AND WHY NOT? THANKS GARDEN OF PEACE ACTIVISTS, WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES, TO SAVE US FROM AMERICAN GREED, STUPIDITY, AND WORKING FOR A WORLD OF PEACE. OUR WHOLE EXPERIENCE, SYMBOLICALLY, IS TO RETURN TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN, WHERE MILK AND HONEY FLOWED FREE AND EASY . . . WE CAN DO THIS WORLD! CONGRATULATIONS, ONE STEP FOR HUMANITY! GREAT RELEASE OF HOSTAGES, SPIES, OR WHOMEVER . . .

SILENT & UNLEASHED--TRUE DETECTIVE--I AM POLICE, AND I CAN DO TERRIBLE THINGS TO PEOPLE, AND DO IT WITH IMPUNITY. THAT STATEMENT WAS MADE BY OFFICER COHLE, MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY. HE WENT ON TO SAY, FIGHTING MONSTERS, CAN TURN YOU INTO ONE . . . WE HAD ANOTHER YOUNG BLACK, UNARMED MALE, SHOT IN A WALMART STORE; HE WAS TALKING ON THE CELL PHONE, CARRYING A FAKE ASSAULT WEAPON OVER HIS SHOULDER, RIGHT OFF THE SHELF--POSSIBLY A CHRISTMAS PRESENT FOR HIS BROTHER, THAT JUST HAD A PRICE TAG ON IT, BUT WITHOUT CARDBOARD CASINGS AROUND IT. SOMEONE IN THE STORE--THOSE LITTLE DO-GOODERS, WITH CELL PHONES, AND A BIGOT'S HEART, MUST HAVE SUSPECTED THIS YOUNG BLACK MAN OF BEING A YOUNG THUG, LIKE THEY ALL DO . . . , CALLED THE POLICE, WHO STORMED, SWAT LIKE, INTO THE STORE, NO QUESTIONS ASKED, WITH THE PLASTIC GUN, DOWN ON THE GROUND IN THE ISLE, AND HE HAD BOTH HANDS OVER HIS HEAD, EVEN LOOKED LIKE HE GOT DOWN ON HIS KNEES, AS THE OFFICERS, FINISHED THE JOB, SHOT HIM SEVERAL TIMES, NO QUESTIONS ASKED, NOT EVEN THE THOUGHT, THAT THEY WERE IN A STORE, IT IS CHRISTMAS, AND GUNS MAKE GREAT PRESENTS FOR BOYS. OF COURSE ANOTHER JUSTIFIED KILLING--WITH THE NATION'S COPS, PROSECUTORS, AND GRAND JURIES ON THEIR SIDE, AGAIN, FAILING TO FIND ANY WRONG DOING--OTHER THAN THINKING! TWO WEEKS PAID ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE, WHILE INTERNAL AFFAIRS, DO WHAT THEY GENERALLY DO, FIND NOTHING WRONG . . . AND UNDER THE PATRIOT ACT, THAT IS NOT HARD, KIND OF HAVE THE MENTALITY OF THE OPINION SECTION GUY, I WROTE ABOUT YESTERDAY, THAT IF YOU COMPLY, YOU LIVE, IF YOU DO NOT, YOU DIE. NO BIG DEAL, OTHER THAN, THEY DIDN'T GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO COMPLY, HE ALREADY HAD COMPLIED AS MUCH AS HE HUMANLY COULD! SO? WE ARE NOT LIVING UNDER THE PATRIOT ACT, WHICH IS BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL, AS A MATTER OF LAW AND VOID, HAVING BEEN REPUGNANT TO THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, BOTH IN THE LETTER AND SPIRIT OF THE LAW. AND LET ME REMIND OFFICERS THAT THERE IS A PRIORTY IN THE 5TH, 14TH, AND DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, OF LIFE, LIBERTY AND PROPERTY, OR THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. WE HAVE MADE LIFE CHEAP, ALMOST INSIGNIFICANT, CRUSHING DREAMS OF PARENTS, GIRLFRIENDS, FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND THE COMMUNITY, BUT WHAT THE HELL, IT IS NOT OUR KID--THEY ARE PROTECTED BY THE BLUE AND BROWN BROTHERHOODS, OR THE BLACK SWAT BROS. WELL, ALL OF THESE KILLINGS ARE STARTING TO WEIGH HARD ON MY OLDEST DAUGHTER, WHO IS RAISING THREE WHITE BOYS--YOU KNOW THE KIND HITLER LIKE, BLONDE, BLUE EYED--SO YOU KNOW WHEN SHE IS CONCERNED, WATCH OUT, BUT SHE IS WONDERING IF THEY TOO, WILL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING KILLED EACH TIME THEY PLAY WITH GUNS ON THE STREETS OF ST. GEORGE, UTAH, PLAYING WITH PLASTIC GUNS! SEVERAL YEARS AGO, I BOUGHT EACH OF MY GRANDSONS, A CAMOFLAUGE, JOHN DEER RIFLE, THAT MADE A SOUND LIKE A GUN, OR RAPID FIRE RIFLE, AND THEY HAD A BALL, SHOOTING EACH OTHER, RUNNING AROUND THE HOUSE, OUT IN THE YARD. I DON'T THINK ANY ADULT THOUGHT ANYTHING OF THAT, BOYS AND GUNS, GO TOGETHER . . . HOW DO YOU THINK WE INDOCTRINATE THEM TO GO TO WAR! WHAT, DO WE WANT A BUNCH OF PANSIES, WHO ARE TOO AFRAID TO PICK UP A WEAPON? PUBLIC POLICY MIGHT SUGGEST, THAT THERE ARE TIMES, WE ARE DAMN HAPPY, THESE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN--MY TWO DAUGHTERS WORE ARMY BOOTS, WILL PUT ON A UNIFORM, PICK UP A GUN, AND WEAR ARMY BOOTS! I MEAN, ARE THESE SWAT NUTS, SERIOUSLY, NOT WATCHING WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE STREETS ACROSS AMERICA? THE PROTESTS, FROM ALL COLORS OF PEOPLE, FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE . . . TODAY, SOME WRITER IN THE OPINION SECTION, SAID, WHAT DO THESE PROTESTORS THINK THEY ARE DOING BLOCKING TRAFFIC AND SHOPPING? ONE SIGN SAID, SOMETHING LIKE, WE NEED TO KILL COPS NOW . . . FOR EVER ACTION, THERE IS AN EQUAL REACTION! THAT IS SCIENCE, DO WE NEED TO RETURN TO FRONTIER JUSTICE, VIGILANE JUSTICE, BECAUSE WE CAN'T GET COPS INDICTED ON MURDER CHARGES? YOU ARE ASKING FOR IT, THERE HAVE JUST BEEN TOO MANY KILLED, AND SEEMINGLY WITH NO CHANGES? ARE YOU CRAZY--ASK THE BLM GUYS DOWN IN BUNKERVILLE, NEVADA HOW FUN IT WAS FACING OFF AGAINST THE MILITIA? THAT IS A SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT, TO MAINTAIN A FREE STATE. I MEAN, THIS IS GETTING TO BE A DAILY THING--WHERE ARE THEIR SUPERVISORS, THEIR POLICE CHIEFS, THEIR SHERIFFS, THEIR MAYORS, CITY COUNCIL, COUNTY COMMISSIONERS--THOSE WITH COOLER HEADS? THIS YOUNG MAN'S FAMILY IS SUING BOTH WALMART AND THE COPS FOR THE WRONGFUL DEATH, AND SOMETIMES, ONLY LIABILITY WILL GET THE ATTENTION OF THE COPS; YOU PLAY, YOU PAY! I THINK THESE GUYS HAVE WATCHED TO MANY EPISODES OF "COPS" ON TV. MAYBE TRAINING THEM ON THE GOLDEN RULE . . . DO UNTO OTHER PEOPLE'S KIDS, WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE DONE TO YOUR OWN! THIS IS SUCH SENSELESS KILLING, SO POINTLESS, UNNECESSARY, SUCH A WASTE OF HUMAN LIFE . . . YOU ARE MONSTERS, LIKE THE TERRORISTS, WHO JUST KILLED 141 SCHOOL CHILDREN IN PAKISTAN, YOU HAVE OBJECTIFIED PEOPLE, AS NOTHING MORE THAN SOMETHING TO BE USED TO DISPLAY YOUR POWER TRIP OR PRACTICE LETHAL FORCE ON! I SAW ABOUT 6 MISSOULA PD, HAVING BREAKFAST AT WORDEN'S DELI AND LIQOUR STORE THIS MORNING, FROM ALL APPEARANCES, VERY NICE GUYS, AT LEAST THEY LEFT ME ALONE, AND I CAN'T SAY THAT FOR THE FOUR OR MORE UNDERCOVER COPS, FEDS, OR WHATEVER, AT THE NEW POVERELLO CENTER, THAT SEEMED SO FULL OF LOVE AND JOY AT OPENING, OR THE SNAKE PIT, SETTING A TRAP, HAVING FAILED THAT MORNING, TO MAKE ME MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEAR, SO A COP DOUBLE CAN GET BANK, LEAVING ME OUT ALL NIGHT, AFTER A WEEK OF A BRUTAL COLD, COUGH, AND SORE THROAT, BUT, LIVE HARD, DIE FREE! AND THEY HAVE NO CHARGES AGAINST ME ANYWAY--BUT UNDER THE PATRIOT ACT, THEY DON'T NEED THEM, AS I LEARNED TWICE BEFORE, OTHER THAN THINKING, I AM MY SISTER, SHELLEY, WHO REALLY IS A CRIMINAL, OR RACHEL, MY ALLEGED TWIN, OR KAY, THE COPS INFERIOR VERSION OF ME, THE ATTORNEY ME, WHOM EVERYTIME I WRITE ABOUT THE COP GALS, THEY GO AFTER ME! LOL! I KNOW IN THIS MODERN ERA OF DNA TESTING, AND WHAT NOT, IT WOULD JUST BE FAR TO SIMPLE TO MATCH MY DNA, TO MY CHILDREN'S DNA, BECAUSE THAT MIGHT REVEAL, THE THEFT OF MY SON'S BANDS, MUSIC, THAT WAS LITERALLY STOLEN, AND MARKETED, THROUGH OTHER FAKE BANDS, WITH DIFFERENT TITLES, TAKING CREDIT, FAME, HONORS, MERIT, FROM THE TRULY GREAT, PARALLAX, GOD'S REVOLVER, AND MARALOKA, AND HANDING IT OFF TO THE COP VERSION, OR THEIR KIDS, BEING JEALOUS, ENVIOUS, OR HATING THE MOTHER, MUCH IN THE SAME WAY THEY DID MY CASES, LEGISLATION, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT MANUALS, CLAIMING THIS BLOG, NOW I CAN ONLY WRITE TITLES!!!! YOU KNOW, WITH ALL THE SHIT COMING DOWN ON BUSH, CHENEY, THE CIA, TORTURE, AND THE RECENT, INVOLVEMENT OF AN AMERICAN GROUP CALLED USAID, TRIED TO INFILTRATE SERBIAN AND CUBAN, HIP HOP BANDS, AND MUSICIANS, TO START A YOUTH REVOLUTION AGAINST THE CUBAN GOVERNMENT, LIKE IN HONG KONG, OR IN AMERICA, DURING THE VIETNAM WAR, OR OCCUPY WALL STREET--I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED FOR ONE SECOND, THAT THEY JUST GOT A COVER GROUP, AND DID WHAT THEY DID TO MY SON'S BANDS, THE MODEL, OR THE FIRST, BRINGING IN RECORD PROFITS. THESE GUYS ARE ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, AND THEY ARE THE ONES IN CHARGE OF INVESTIGATING FINANCIAL CRIMES? WHO JUST GOT ANOTHER BIG BAIL OUT, TAX BREAKS, AND WILL PROBABLY SEND OUR ECONOMY SPIRILING INTO THE DEPLORABLE CONDITIONS, IN 2008, THE BEGINNING OF THE RECESSION, WHICH HAS TAKEN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, 6 YEARS TO DIG OUT OF--WALL STREET BANKERS, YEAH . . . WE ARE GOING TO LET THEM FUCK US AGAIN, YEAH! THOSE NICE LITTLE REPUBLICANS, WITH RECORD NUMBERS OF NEW JOBS BEING CREATED, EQUAL TO THOSE CREATED BACK 15 YEARS AGO, WITH OIL PRODUCTION, TAKING OVER THE GLOBAL MARKET, HOUSING COMING BACK, ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENERGY, CARBON EMMISSIONS AGREEMENTS WITH CHINA--MAKING THE GOP LOOK REALLY BAD, SO LET'S GIVE THEM CONTROL OF THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE, SINCE ALL THEY DID WAS SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, OH, NOW WE HAVE A BILL FOR $1.1T, GOOD JOB YOU LITTTLE CONSERVATIVES, THAT ARE JUST ADDING $42 BILLION TO THE NATIONAL DEBT, YOU WERE ELECTED TO STOP . . . AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE JUST GOING TO SIT BACK, AND LET WALL STREET BANKERS, FLEECE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AGAIN, AFTER RECORD PROFITS, FOR THE LAST 6 YEARS--THEY SHOULD ALL BE IN PRISON! WHAT CAN I SAY? WHY DON'T WE JUST ERASE PRESIDENT OBAMA'S TERM OF OFFICE--REMINDS ME OF THE AWARD WINNING BOOK FROM THE 60'S CALLED THE "INVISIBLE MAN", JUST PRETEND OBAMA NEVER HAPPENED, STRIKE HIM FROM OUR WHITE CRACKER MINDS, GET BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUAL, GO BACK TO IRAQ AND AFGANISTAN, ADDING SYRIA TO THE LIST OF WARS . . . WITH WORDS THAT SHOCKED ME, IN THE NEWSPAPER, LAST WEEK, IT SAID, WE ARE GOING BACK INTO IRAQ FOR "AS LONG AS WE CAN." WHAT? HALLIBURTON, BOEING, WALL STREET, BANKERS, AND MILITARIZED COPS, ARE ALL BACK, THE VERY THINGS WE HATED BUSH AND CHENEY FOR, WASN'T IS JUST MONTHS AGO, WE REALIZED HOW ASSINE BOTH WARS, WERE, MUCH LIKE VIETNAM? SENIOR MOMENTS IN THE CONGRESS? . . . WILL WE NOT LEARN FROM HISTORY? THERE WAS A GREAT CARTOON IN THE MISSOUIAN, ACTUALLY FOR TWO DAYS, THE FIRST ONE, SHOWED CHENEY, AND HIS USUAL MEAN SCOWL, SAYING, WE DIDN'T TORTURE, BUT WE SURE DAMN WOULD DO IT AGAIN! BUSH IS SMALL IN THE BACKGROUND, CRINGING THAT HE IS ADMITTING TO WHAT MIGHT GET THEM TRIED FOR WAR CRIMES, ALONG WITH OTHERS WHO WERE WELL AWARE OF THAT WAS GOING ON OVER IN THE CIA DARK PRISONS! THE SECOND CARTOON, HAD CHENEY AS A MELTING SNOWMAN, SAME MEAN FACE, WITH THE THOUGHT, MORAL WARMING IS NOT HAPPENING, AND A SIGN AROUND HIS NECK, TORTURE. SONY--TRANSLATION LOST, IN ON THE RUE TO STEAL MY SON'S MUSIC, AND MARKET IT, IS GETTING BACK THEIR BAD KARMA, WHOM I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR, NOW ARE LOSING STOCK PRICES, WITH EMPLOYEES, SUING THEM, AND THE NEW MOVIE, "THE INTERVIEW" IN WHICH THE CIA ASKS A COUPLE OF U.S. JOURNALISTS WHO GET AN INTERVIEW WITH NORTH KOREA'S YOUNG RULER, KIM JONG UN, AND THE CIA ASKS THEM TO ASSASSINATE THE YOUNG RULER--A REALITY IN MANY COUNTRIES, INCLUDING OUR OWN, NOT A JOKING MATTER, WHILE THEY ARE OVER THERE--NOW WITH THREATS OF TERRORISTS ATTACKS, SEEING THIS AS A "ACT OF WAR", CINIMARK CANCELLED 250 THEATER SHOWINGS, SERVES THEM RIGHT, NOT FUNNY . . . ONE OF THE ACTORS, SAID, THIS WILL EITHER SET THE PEOPLE FREE OR IT WILL START A WAR--GLAD I CAN WRITE AGAIN, WAS STOPPED OR BLOCK EARLIER . . . LIFE IS PRECIOUS, LIVES MATTER OF ALL RACES, COLORS, CREEDS, AND WHATEVER, COUNTRIES . . . THE JACKELS AT THE CIA, DON'T GET TO DO WHATEVEER IN THE HELL THEY WANT ANYMORE, EITHER TO INDIVIDUALS, THE COUNTRY, OR OTHER COUNTRIES, FOR GOD'S SAKE, WHAT THE HELL IS THE FRONT ORGANIZATION, USAID, INFILTRATING THE MUSIC SCENE IN CUBA FOR . . . SEX, CUTE GIRLS, THIS IS NOT YOUR ROLE, TAX PAYERS ARE NOT PAYING YOU TO STEAL MUSIC, HANG OUT WITH MUSICIANS, AND TOPPLE GOVERNMENTS. THIS IS A NEW ERA, LET'S GO FOR A TRANSPARENT, OPEN, HONEST, CARING, RESPECTFUL, WORLD, WHERE WE CAN TURN TO THE GOOD IDEAS OF OTHER COUNTRIES, LIKE GERMANY, WHO IS TEACHING AMERICAN BUSINESSES HOW TO MORE EFFECTIVELY MARKET THEIR JOBS, AND GET THE WORKFORCE THEY WANT . . . PEACE IS NOT A DREAM, WE CAN DO THIS WORLD!

NOT IN AMERICA: COMPLY, YOU WILL LIVE, RESIST AND YOU DIE. THAT IS LOGICAL IN ANY UNIVERSE. THIS STATEMENT WAS IN THE MISSOULIAN OPINION SECTION THIS MORNING, REFERRING TO THE GARNER CASE IN NEW YORK, AND THE BROWN CASE IN FERGUSON, MISSOURI, BOTH UNARMED BLACK MEN, KILLED BY WHITE POLICE OFFICERS. IN THIS COUNTRY, CITIZENS HAVE RIGHTS, COPS HAVE OBLIGATIONS TO GUARANTEE THOSE RIGHTS. AND SINCE WHEN DID PROTECT AND SERVE, BECOME PROTECT YOURSELF AT ALL COSTS, AND JUST CLAIM YOU FEARED YOU WERE IN DANGER, BEFORE KILLING A CITIZEN? LET'S TAKE THE GARNER CASE--ALLEGEDLY ARRESTED, CHOKEHOLD AND ALL, FOR SELLING UNTAXED CIGARETTES, AS SINGLE CIGS . . . THIS IS A BULL SHIT ARGUMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE, BECAUSE, WHAT WAS CEASAR'S, OR THE TAXES, HAD ALREADY BEEN PAID BY GARNER, THE STATE IS NOT ENTITLED TO GET DOUBLE THE TAXES OUT OF A SINGLE PACK OF CIGARETTES. SO THE OFFICERS WERE FAULTY IN HARASSING GARNER IN THE FIRST PLACE, "BUT FOR" THIS HARASSMENT, THE DEATH WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. SHOP OWNERS, DO NOT OWN THE SIDEWALKS IN FRONT OF THEIR STORES, AND I HIGHLY DOUBT, THAT GARNER WAS DOING A KNOCKOUT BUSINESS, THAT THREATENED THE STORE AS TRUE COMPETITION. SO THE OFFICERS, WERE TOTALLY OUT OF LINE IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND MAYOR DE BLAZIO, IS CONSIDERING CHANGING POLICIES, NOW THAT CRIME IS AT A RECORD LOW, NOT ENFORCING TOTALLY LAME ASS INFRACTIONS, IF GARNER WAS EVEN DOING THAT. HAD GARNER'S HEALTH BEEN THE CAUSE OF DEATH, HE WOULD HAVE DIED ON THE STREETS BEFORE THE OFFICERS GOT THERE, OR ALREADY BEEN DEAD . . . IT WAS THE CHOCKHOLD, A PROCEEDURE THAT HAD BEEN BANNED, ACCORDING TO EARLY NEWS ARTICLES--ONE ARTICLE HAD IS BANNED IN THE FIRST PART OF THE NEWS CLIPPING, AND NOT BANNED OR AN ACCEPTED POSITION, LATER IN THE SAME ARTICLE--SOME OF US, THAT NOTE OF THESE DISCREPANCIES, BUT LIKE MOST NEWSPAPERS, THEY WILL EVENTUALLY SPIN IT IN THE POPULAR POSITION, AT THE STRONGARM OF THE COPS! WHICH LEADS ME TO THE FACTS IN THE MICHAEL BROWN CASE . . . THIS CLOWN THAT MADE THE STATEMENT, SAYS, IF YOU JUST LOOK AT THE FACTS, YOU WILL KNOW, THAT THESE TWO MEN, JUST CHOSE TO IGNORE THE OFFICERS, AND FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THEIR DEMANDS, AND SO, THEY DESERVE TO BE DEAD, PLAIN AND SIMPLE . . . YOU SIMPLETON! NOW WHICH VERSION OF THE FACTS, ARE YOU GOING TO RELY ON? THE ONES THAT CAME WITH VIDEOS, FROM WITNESSES, RIGHT AT THE SCENE OF THE CRIME? OR THE PROSECUTOR, PRESENTING THE FACTS, AS THEY CAME OUT OF THE SECRET GRAND JURY, AFTER FOUR MONTHS? THINKING CAPS HERE, WHICH ARE MORE RELIABLE, VERIFIABLE, AND FRESH? I WAS IN LAS VEGAS, IN AUGUST WHEN THE BROWN KILLING BY WHITE OFFICER WILSON, WENT DOWN. I SAW THE EARLY WITNESSES, THREE YOUNG BLACK TEENS, ONE HAD A CELL PHONE VIDEO TAKEN FROM THE SECOND STOREY APARTMENT ACROSS THE STREET, AND IT TOLD A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY, THAN EVENTUALLY CAME OUT, FOUR MONTHS LATER, AFTER THE GRAND JURY, FAILED TO INDICT WILSON, WHO WALKED OUT SMILING, AS IF HE KNEW HIS SORRY ASS WAS COVERED, AND WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD BE--HE KNEW HE HAD HIS TEAM WAS BEHIND HIM, COPS, PROSECUTOR, GRAND JURY . . . SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE, THERE WAS HOPE, BUT NO SURPIRSES! THEN THERE WAS ANOTHER TEEN, WHO FOLLOWED OFFICER WILSON DOWN THE ROAD, AND CAUGHT THE INDICENT ON HER CELL PHONE, WHEN THINGS DIDN'T SEEM RIGHT TO HER, WITH THE OFFICER'S AGRESSION, SHE STARTED THE CELL PHONE CAMERA ROLLING . . . FEARING HIS LIFE, HUH? THAT IS NOT WHAT I SAW IN EITHER VIDEO, RIGHT AFTER THE INDICDENTS--THE PROSECUTOR SAID, AT THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THERE WOULD BE NO INDICTMENT, THAT THERE WERE DISCREPANCIES IN THE WITNESSES TESTIMONIES--YEAH, AND YOUR POINT, YOU HAVE ONE ACROSS THE STREET, ONE BEHIND THE CAR, AND ONE WALKING WITH BROWN--HELL, YEAH, THEY ARE ALL GOING TO COME FROM A DIFFERENT VANTAGE POINT, ALL SEE DIFFERENT VIEWS OF WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT THAT DOESN'T DISCREDIT THEIR TESTIMONIES! HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN THE MOVIE VANTAGE POINT, WITH WILLIAM HURT, AS PRESIDENT? THE MOVIE IS BASED ON THE ASSASSINATION OF THE PRESIDENT, BUT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE 8 WITNESSES, WHO ALL SAW THE SHOOTING, BUT FROM 8 VANTAGE POINTS! THEN, YOU TAKE ALL THOSE VANTAGE POINTS, THOSE WITNESSES, AND CREATE A FACT PATTERN THAT FITS, WITH THE BALLISTICS REPORTS, AUTOPSIES, ETC. IT KILLS ME, THAT THE GUY WHO WAS STANDING WITH MICHAEL, THROUGH THE WHOLE THINGS, WAS DISCREDITIED, DUE TO THE SHOPLIFTING, REALLY? HIS STATEMENT IS NOT COMPROMISED IN ANYWAY, THAT SHOPLIFTING TAPE NEVER BECAME AN ISSUE, UNTIL DAYS AFTER THE SHOOTING! THIS WAS THE FIRST OF THE CONTROLS, THE COPS STARTED EXERTING, AS THEY STARTED TO PROTECT WILSON, AND DO A CHARACTER ASSASSINATION OF BROWN, IMPLYING THAT THE TWO BOYS, WERE JUST STREET THUGS--BROWN WAS TO START COLLEGE THE VERY NEXT DAY! WILSON DIDN'T KNOW JACK, ABOUT THE CIGARS, AT THE TIME, ACCORDING TO THE POLICE CHIEF, THAT WAS ONE OF THE CHANGES IN THE NEWS, AFTER THE SPIN TOOK PLACE, AND WHETHER HE SHOPLIFTED OR NOT, IS INCONSEQUENTAL, THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MURDER IN THE STORE, AND YOU DON'T KILL THE SUSPECT, YOU ARREST, HAUL THEIR ASSES IN FOR QUESTIONING, THEN EITHER BOOK'EM, OR RELEASE THEM, YOU DON'T GET TO KILL THEM! . . . IN THE ACCOUNTS I HEARD, OFFICER WILSON, DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE CIGARS, AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING, HE WAS JUST PISSED THAT THE TWO TEENS, SURPRISE, DIDN'T DIG HIS DEMANDS, AND JUMP TO COMPLY, WHICH IS WHAT REALLY LED TO THE EXCHANGES BETWEEN BROWN AND WILSON--HAD A COP DEMANDED I GET OUT OF THE STREET, THEN BARELLED UP ON MY ASS, HITTING ME WITH HIS SQUAD CAR DOOR, RATHER THAN SHOW SOME RESPECT, THEN CLAIMING FOUL PLAY, WHEN MICHAEL, TURNS ON WILSON, WHO NOW HAS HIS GUN OUT OF HIS HOLSTER, WHICH EVEN HAS A SNAP, HE HAS TO POP TO GET THE GUN OUT, SO MICHAEL, GRABBING THE GUN, POINTED IN HIS FACE, WAS THE ACT OF SELF-DEFENSE, WHICH HE WAS ENTITLED TO! THE WAY THE FACTS, AS I SAW THEM IN AUGUST WENT DOWN, IT WAS BROWN, AND RIGHTLY SO, WHO WAS IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE, NOT WILSON, THE AGGRESSOR! IF YOU WILL RECALL, THE COPS DIDN'T RELEASE WILSON'S NAME FOR 9 DAYS--WORKING OUT THE STORY, AND THEN, THERE CAME THE LEAK, OF WILSON'S SIDE OF THE STORY, FROM SOME UNANOMOUS PERSON, AT A LOCAL BAR--NOW I SUPPOSE, THAT PERSON, WHO WAS TOO CHICKEN SHIT TO EVEN GIVE THEIR NAME, AND WAS NOT THERE, WAS CONSIDERED MORE RELIABLE THAN THE THREE BLACK WITNESSES, THERE AT THE SCENE, YOU KNOW, WILSON'S FRIEND HAD TO BE WHITE, THEREFORE, RELIABLE, AND THE THREE TEENS, WHO NEVER ONCE CHANGED THEIR STORIES AT ALL, WERE FULL OF DISCREPANCIES! GOOD GOD! THE COPS SHOP, THE PROSECUTOR'S, HAD 9 DAYS TO CONCOCT SOME BULL SHIT STORY, TAKING THE FACTS, AND TWISTING IT FOR POOR OFFICER WILSON--MICHAEL WAS NOT THERE TO PRESENT HIS SIDE, AND THE TEENS WHO DID PRESENT THE OTHER SIDE, AS EYE WITNESSES, WERE IGNORED! . . . I HAVE LITERALLY, WATCHED, A WEEKS WORTH OF NEWS VIDEOS, STARTING WITH AN INCIDENT, WHILE I WAS A UTAH ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL, UTAH PROSECUTION COUNCIL, IN THE CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT DIVISION, OF A MAN, WHO NO LONGER WOULD DEAL WITH THE DEA, OR THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION, AND WHEN HE REFUSED TO WORK WITH THEM, HAVING A HARD TIME DECIDING WHO WAS WORSE, THE DRUG DEALERS OR THE COPS, WHO WERE STOPPING THEM UNDER THE FREEWAY, AS THEY LEFT, MY POTENTIAL CLIENTS, CHEMICAL PLANT, TOOK THE DRUGS, AND DEMANDED THE MONEY BACK FROM MY CLIENT! LATER, HIS CHEMICAL PLANT WAS BURNED TO THE GROUND . . . IT WAS THE SIZE OF A COSTCO! HE SAID HE COULD HAVE PUT THE ALLEGED FIRE OUT WITH A GARDEN HOSE, BUT WAS STOPPED BY THE COPS AND THE FIREFIGHTERS, WHO BLOCKED HIM, TOLD HIM THEY WOULD ARREST HIM IS HE CROSSED THE CAUTION TAPE, WHILE THEY CHANTED, BURN BABY BURN! HE GAVE ME 7 DAYS, AND ABOUT 7 TO 10 HOURS OF NEWS, AND WHAT STARTED AS A SMALL CHEMICAL PLANT FIRE, TURNED INTO A TWO WEEK, LIFE THREATENING ORDEAL, WITH MY POTENTIAL CLIENTS, BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE! WHEN A NEIGHBOR TRIED TO HELP, THE NEIGHBOR'S HOME WAS BURNED TO THE GROUND TOO! THE COPS ARE NOT ABOVE REPROACH, AND IF THE OPINION SECTION WRITER, THINKS THAT, HE IS SORELY MISTAKEN, AND HE HAS NOT RUN UP AGAINST THEIR POWER STRUCTURE, AS I HAVE PERSONALLY, TRYING TO DEFEND CLIENT'S RIGHTS, PROTECT THEIR PROEPRTY, AND FIGHT OFF THE CONTROLS THEY HAVE OVER THE PRESS. CHECK THE OKLAHOMA BOMBING OF THE FEDERAL BUILDING, STARTED WITH BOMB EXPERTS, SAYING IT HAD TO BE 16 STRATIGICALLY PLACED BOMBS IN THE PARKING STRUCTURE, UNDER THE BUILDING TO HAVE BLOWN THE WAY IT DID . . . ONE WE LATER, IT WAS SOLEY THE ACT OF MCVEY AND NICHOLS! KIND OF LIKE THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION, OR THE WORLD TRADE TOWERS, WITH NOBODY BEING ABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR BUILDING NUMBER 7 GOING DOWN, LIKE A DEMOLITION, 12 HOURS AFTER THE WORLD TRADE TOWERS? THE WIND, THE ASHES, THE SMOKE? IT JUST HAPPENED TO BE THE FBI BUILDING, TWO BLOCKS AWAY . . . GUESS THEY THOUGHT, NOBODY WAS WATCHING THE NEWS AFTER ALL DAY! WELL I WAS, AND NOBODY IN 14 YEARS HAS GIVEN A VIABLE EXPLANATION FOR THAT BUILDING GOING DOWN! ALL OF THE FACTS, THE STORIES, THE EXPERTS, THE WITNESSES, ETC., JUST MAGICALLY EITHER DISAPPEAR, GET PUSHED UNDER THE RUG, IGNORED, DISCREDITED, OR THE POWER STRUCTURES DISTANCE THEMSELVES, AND PEOPLE LIKE THE NUMB CHUCK, WHO WROTE THIS ARTICLE THIS MORNING, DOES, BELIEVEING EVERYTHING HE IS TOLD, BY THOSE WITH A VESTED INTEREST IN THAT SIDE OF THE STORY, PROMOTING MILITARIZED POLICE FORCES, ALL THE MONEY WE NEED FOR THEM, JUSTIFYING COP KILLINGS, THAT ARE A MORE RECENT THING UNDER THE PATRIOT ACT, GIVING POLICE POWERS, THEY HAVE NEVER, HAD BEFORE, MAKING THEM INFALIBLE, GODS, WITH ONLY SPLIT SECONDS TO DECIDE THE FATE OF SOMEONE THEY ARE ALLEGEDLY THERE TO PROTECT! THE CITIZEN . . . I WAS NOT SHOCKED, BUT HORRIFIED, WHEN SOMEONE INTERVIEWED ONE OF THE COPS, NEAR A TANK, AND HE SAID, THERE NUMBER ONE JOB, WAS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES! WHAT THE FUCK?

"YOU CAN SAFELY ASSUME, YOU CREATED GOD IN YOUR OWN IMAGE WHEN IT TURNS OUT THAT GOD HATES ALL THE SAME PEOPLE YOU DO." PRESBYTARIAN WRITER, ANNE LAMOTT. GREAT DINNER PUT ON LAST NIGHT, AT THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, FOUR LOCAL CHURCHES SPONSORED THE EVENT, BANDS, CHOIR, CHRISTMAS MESSAGE, PERFECT SERVICE, AND CHRISTMAS PRESENTS . . . SO, NICE, THANK YOU! THIS MORNING, WHILE ATTENDING THE HISTORIC, ST. FRANCIS XAVIER PARISH, WITH A CEILIING AND WALLS THAT RIVAL THE SISTINE CHAPEL, HOLY AND GLORIOUS, REVERENT AND SACRED, THE VOCALIST, WAS LEADING THE CONGREGATION, IN A SONG, THAT HAD THE WORDS, "GOD IS TURNING THE WORLD AROUND . . ." AND RIGHT AS THAT WAS BEING SUNG, I HEARD A POLICE SIREN OUTSIDE, AND THOUGHT, BACK ON THE MORNINGS NEWS, IN THE MISSOULIAN, WITH A PICTURE OF A 'HISTORY-MAKING MOMENT' MARKING THOUSANDS PROTESTING POLICE SLAYING OF BLACK MEN. A DEMONSTRATOR CHANTS DURING A RALLY IN DOWNTOWN MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK, ON SATURDAY DURING THE JUSTICE FOR ALL RALLY AND MARCH, SURROUDING THE REVELER, ARE THE WORDS, BLACK LIVES MATTER; HANDS UP, DON'T SHOOT; AND JUSTICE, ALL LIT UP IN LIGHTS. FROM SAN FRANSISCO TO NEW YORK, BOSTON TO UTAH, WHERE THERE WERE MORE POLICE KILLINGS, THAN KILLINGS BY GANGS, IN THE STATE, PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING OUT, HELPING OUT, AND BRINGING THESE ISSUES TO LIGHT, NO LONGER TO BE DEALT WITH BY THE FAR TO OFTEN, BLACK COMMUNITIES, GRIEVING LOSSES OF THEIR YOUTH, FALLEN AT THE HANDS OF COPS, WITH GRAND JURY INDICTMENTS, BEING FAR TO UNCOMMON . . . WITH THE EXPOSURE OF THE CIA, TORTURE, COP KILLINGS, AND RAPES ON COLLGE CAMPUSES, AT ALARMING RATES, AND OTHER INJUSTICES, THAT HAVE GONE ON FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS IN AMERICA (STUDENTS AT BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA, HAD PICTURES OF LYNCHINGS--HOW FAR HAVE WE COME?), WE ARE FINALLY ACTING, AS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, AND DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT . . . THANK GOD. TRAYVON MARTIN'S MOTHER, IN A LETTER TO MICHAEL BROWN'S MOTHER, SAID, "IF WE CAN'T MAKE THEM SEE, WE WILL MAKE THEM FEEL"--WE FEEL IT! THE TITLE OF THE SMITHSONIA MAGAZINE, I GLANCED AT THIS MORNING, THE TITLE WAS, "GENIUS IN AMERICA" . . . WE ARE GETTING TO OUR BETTER SELVES, REFUSING TO ALLOW SEGEMENTS OF OUR CITIZENS, BE ARRESTED, HARASSED, HURT, JAILED, AND MURDERED . . . WE TRULY ARE BETTER THAN THIS, AND WE ARE SHOWING IT--IT IS ABOUT TIME. THE FOUNDING FATHERS HAD A DREAM, "JUSTICE FOR ALL" AND WE HAVE PASSED CIVIL RIGHTS LEGISLATION, BACK IN 1964, TO HELP, BUT IF THOSE RIGHTS CONTINUE TO BE VIOLATED, THEN WHAT GOOD ARE THE LAWS, AND IF LAW ENFORCEMENT, CIA, FRAT RATS, ARE ABOVE THE LAW, THEN WHAT ARE WE SAYING? AS I HAVE SAID, A MILLION TIMES, AND THE MANTRA OF THIS BLOG, "THE LAW, IS THE LAW, IS THE LAW . . . KNOW YOUR RIGHTS" AND WE WILL ALL HELP YOU GET THEM! ST. XAVIER'S PARISH NEWS BULLETIN LAST WEEK, HAD A GREAT, APPLICABLE SCRIPTURES: "KINDNESS AND TRUTH SHALL MEET; JUSTICE AND PEACE SHALL KISS. TRUTH SHALL SPRING OUT OF THE EARTH, AND JUSTICE SHALL LOOK DOWN FROM HEAVEN." --PSALMS 8:5, HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY, AND HOLY CHRISTMAS SEASON . . .

DO NO HARM--MEDICAL SCHOOL DIE-INS--WHITE COATS FOR BLACK LIVES . . . HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL STUDENTS, STAFF AND FACULTY, LAYED ON CEMENT, SIDEWALKS, AND EVEN IN FLOWERBEDS, TO PROTEST POLICE KILLINGS, CALLING THEM A PUBLIC HEALTH RISK. MEDICAL SCHOOLS AROUND THE COUNTRY JOINED THE DIE-IN DEMONSTRATIONS, MANY LAYING IN THEIR WHITE MEDICAL COATS, FOR 15 MINUTES, WITH A BREAK DOWN FOR EACH MINUTE THEY STAYED ON THE GROUND--6 MINUTES, FOR THE NUMBER OF TIMES, GARNER, CAUGHT IN A CHOKEHOLD BY COPS, TOLD THEM HE COULDN'T BREATH; 4 MINUTES FOR EACH HOUR MICHAEL BROWN'S BODY WAS LEFT ON THE STREETS BY FERGUSON PD, AND I CAN'T REMEMBER THE REST OF THE BREAK DOWN, BUT KUDOS TO YOU FOR SPEAKING OR DEMONSTRATING YOUR HIPPOCRATIC OATH, AND SPREADING IT TO THE COMMUNITY. BLACKS ONLY MAKE UP 14% OF THE POPULATION, THEY CANNOT CHAMPION THIS CAUSE ALONE, FIGHTING POLICE OVER THE 585 OR SO POLICE KILLINGS THIS YEAR ALONE! YOU HAVE CHANGED MY LONG HELD IMPRESSION OF DOCS, AS COLD, CALCULATING AND METHODICAL, AS I WORKED WITH THEM AS GENERAL COUNSEL FOR THE UTAH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, SHOWING WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER, A SHORT CUT TO A GREAT NEW "BEDSIDE MANNER" SOMETHING MEDICAL SCHOOLS HAVE HAD A HARD TIME TEACHING IN THEIR CURRICULUMS. WOULD YOU ADD TO YOUR LIST OF PUBLIC HEALTH RISKS, A COLLEGE DEGREE FOR FEMALES, RISKING A 1 IN 5 CHANCE THAT THEY WILL BE RAPED BEFORE THEY GET THEIR DEGREE. ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE, RECENTLY RAN AN ARTICLE, ON THE RAPE OF JACKIE, A FRESHMAN, AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, ARLINGTON, UrApe, OR ONE OF THOSE COLLEGES BACK EAST, THE OWN WITH THE LITTLE POEMS THAT CIRCULATE, AMONGST "FRAT RATS", ON RUGBY ROAD . . . HEY, TO THE 7 ALLEGED BROTHERS, WHO RAPED JACKIE FOR 3 HOURS, WHILE THE BROS. HELD HER HANDS, WITH A FELLOW ANTHROPOLOGY CLASSMATE, WHO RECOGNIZED HER, WHO CHOSE TO STICK HIS BEER BOTTLE UP HER VAGINA, RATHER THAN RAPE HER . . . FOR SOME SENSATIVITY TRAINING, GOOGLE, SERIAL KILLER, BOB BERDELLA, FOR A THRILL, SEEING WHAT IT IS LIKE, FOR THAT BUZZ, OF ANAL SEX, YOU THINK IS SO MANDATORY, FOR THE GIRLS WHO HANG WITH THE "FRAT RATS" WHO THINK THEY ARE SO COOL, DRUGGING, GANGING, BANGING, BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE 7 OF YOU DICKS, TO SATISFY ANY ONE WOMAN, BROS WHO SHARE CARE, HUH? YOU ARE PATHETIC DISGUSTING LITTLE FUCKING WEASELS! DADDY'S MONEY, CAN'T CURE MALE INSECURITY. AND FOR THE REST OF THE 1/3 OF THE CAMPUS, WHO TRASHED THE GIRL, WHO TRIED TO FIGHT THE FRATS, YOU ARE EQUALLY TO BLAME FOR THIS SCOURGE AND BLIGHT ON THE GOOD NAMES OF COLLEGES ACROSS THE COUNTRY--AND IT SHOULD NOT BE DEEMED THE GIRL RAPED, WHO COME FORWARD, WHO DID THE DAMAGE TO THE SCHOOL'S REPUTATION! I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY TO INCLUDE RAPE WITH YOUR DIPLOMA, YOU FUCKS! DREW, YOU LITTLE CHICKEN SHIT ASSHOLE . . . AND OF COURSE, ROLLING STONE'S MAGAZINE WRITTER, WAS THRASHED FOR NOT INTERVIEWING THE OTHER SIDE, ARE YOU KIDDING, READ THE ARTICLE, AND SEE WHAT JACKIE HAD TO GO THROUGH WITH THE ADMINISTRATION, THE STUDENTS, AND THE CAMPUS COPS--YEAH, I JUST THINK THE RATS, WILL JUST STEP FORWARD, AND RAT EACHOTHER OUT, THEY AREN'T MAN ENOUGH! HELL IT TOOK 7 OF THEM TO DO THE JOB OF 1 . . . ANYONE WHO SIDES WITH THE VICTIM, GETS CRUCIFIED TOO, SO JUST EXPECT THAT--GREAT ARTICLE, TONS OF GOOD INSIGHTS A MUST READ FOR EVERY COLLEGE ADMINISTRATOR, PARENT, AND COLLEGE GIRL, WHO MAY WANT TO CONSIDER, BETTER ALLEGED, "A -" SCHOOLS . . . WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE, NEEDS TO END, WEALTH PRIVILEGE, THINKING YOU CAN DO THIS TO GIRLS, THE FIRST FRAT PARTY, LIKE I SAID, YOU MIGHT GAIN A WHOLE NEW APPRECIATION FOR WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE THE VICTIM, THERE IS A GOOD FILM ABOUT BERDELLA, SONGS, AS HE VICTIMIZED, YOUNG MEN, FROM 14 TO 43 HOURS, STARTING WITH DRUGGING THEM, MUCH LIKE DATE RAPE DRUGS, ALCOHOL, AND OTHER DRUGS, TO PUT THE PERSON IN HARMS WAY . . . DO NO HARM! ANOTHER GANG OF PRIVILEGED, "GOVERNMENT FRAT RATS" ARE NOW GOING TO GANG RAPE, SENATOR, DIANNE FEINSTEIN, FOR BRINGING OUT A REPORT ON TORTURE--LET'S NOT LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF THE CIA, OR THE CLOWN INSTITUTE OF ASSOCIATION . . . WATERBOARDING HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN USED ON PRISONERS, PHILLIPENOES, JAPANESE, AND OTHERS, AND THE FINDING OF THE CIA, WAS THAT TORTURE DIDN'T WORK, OR THAT INFORMATION GAINED WHILE A PRISONER HAVING PAIN INFLICTED ON THEM, IS UNRELIABLE, BECAUSE THEY WOULD SAY ANYTHING TO STOP THE TORTURE, AS ANY PERSON WOULD, SO IN A REPORT IN 1983, THE CIA, STOPPED USING TORTURE AS A MEANS OF GETTING INFORMATION OUT OF PEOPLE . . . BUSH AND CHENEY? ARE YOU SERIOUS, WE ARE GOING TO LISTEN TO THEM, IF WE GOT SO MUCH GOOD INFO OUT OF PRISONERS, AFTER 9/11 THROUGH TORTURE, THEN WHY DIDN'T THE BUSH, CHENEY ADMINISTRATION, CATCH OSAMA BIN LADEN? WHY DID IT TAKE, WHAT ANOTHER 10 YEARS? AND WHAT THE HELL IS OUR PRISM SYSTEM FOR SPYING FOR, CAN'T YOU GET MORE INFORMATION OUT OF LISTENING, WIRETAPPING, EAVESDROPPING? AND WHY DON'T YOU KEEP FOCUSED ON ACTUAL TERRORISTS, RATHER THAN AMERICANS LIKE MYSELF, WHO YOU WANT TO TERRORIZE FOR TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU . . . GET READY DIANNE, THESE BOYS ARE AS INFANTILE AS THE FRATERNITY BOYS, USED TO GETTING THEIR WAY, DOING WHATEVER THEY WANT, AND COVERING UP WHAT IT IS THEY DO, AT TAXPAYERS EXPENSE! DO NO HARM, ALI SOUFAN, A FORMER FBI, INTERROGATOR, SAID HE WAS GETTING A LOT OF INFORMATION OUT OF AL QAEDA, JUST TALKING TO THEM, THEY WANT FREEDOM TOO, YOU KNOW, UNTIL THE ALLEGED, AMERICAN ISIS, DECIDED THAT FBI AND OTHER MILITARY INTERROGATORS WERE INSUFFICIENT, AND SHOULD BE KEPT IN THE DARK, ON WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THESE DARK PRISONS . . . PRIVILEGED INFORMATION, I GUESS. CHENEY, MADE A STATEMENT, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE CONSTITUTION, HE AND BUSH, TRASHED WITH THE PATRIOT ACT, THAT SAID, THEY COULD NOT TORTURE . . . AND THESE WERE THE LEADERS OF THE FREE WORLD, WHAT ABOUT THE GENEIVA CONVENTION, THAT LIMITED WHAT COULD AND COULD NOT BE DONE TO PRISONERS OF WAR! LET THE U.N. PROSECUTE THESE ASSHOLES, TORTURE HAS NEVER WORKED, YOUR OWN CIA REPORTS, STATE THAT, HISTORY STATES, THAT, DO NO HARM!

SPECTERS OF 4 FLYING NUNS, SEEN, HOVERING OVER THE NEW POVERELLO HOMELESS CENTER, AS MISSOULA, MONTANA DID THE FOUNDERS RIGHT, WITH THE LOVE AND JOY, FLOWING OUT THE DOORS AND INTO THE YARDS, ON THIS BRIGHT SUNNY DECEMBER MORNING, WITH CROWDS PACKED SO CLOSE THEY RESEMBLED SARDINES, PEOPLE STANDING ON CHAIRS TO SEE OVER PEOPLE'S HEADS, TO GET A PICTURE OF THE MAYOR, GOVERNOR, DIVISION 8 HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES DIRECTOR, DENVER OFFICE, AND OTHER DIGNITARIES, WHO HONORED THE VISIONARIES, THE WORKERS, THE CONTRIBUTORS, THE VOLUNTEERS, THE ARCHITECTS--AN ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY--AS CROWDS, CHEERED, CLAPPED, SMILED FROM EAR TO EAR, MANY KNOWING WHAT A MONUMENTAL EFFORT THIS PROJECT WAS, WITH STATE OF THE ART KITCHEN FACILITIES, THAT I OVERHEARD SOME GUY, SAY, THIS RIVALS THE KITCHEN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA, A BIT OVERWHELMED BY THE SPLENDOR, GROWING BOXES OUTSIDE, TO HAVE FRESH PRODUCE ADDED TO THE DONATED FOOD, GATHERING ROOMS, DORMS, DAY ROOMS, OFFICES, AND HUGE ENTRANCES, ALL IN MODERN DECOR, WITH QUALITY PRODUCTS, WITH, APPEARING TO ME, NO EXPENSE SPARED; HOWEVER, THE HHS DIRECTOR FROM DENVER SAID, THAT MISSOULA, SPENT THE $1 MILLION THE FEDS CONTRIBUTED TO THE OVERALL COST OF $5 MILLION, WELL--NEEDLESS TO SAY, NOT ONLY HE WAS IMPRESSED, AND SAID THAT HE WAS SO IMPRESSED, THAT THE POVERELLO CENTER, WILL SERVE AS A MODEL, NATIONWIDE; HE ALSO COMPLIMENTED MAYOR ENGAN, AS ONE OF THE LEADERS IN THE 350 MAYORS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WHO HAVE VOWED TO END HOMELESSNESS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES--WHAT A HAPPY DAY, PERFECT WEATHER, AND THE FOOD, DONATED AND SERVED BY GOOD FOODS GROCERS, I THINK, WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, AND FIT THE CLASS, STYLE, AND ELEGANCE, IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT OF THE JOYFUL OCCASSION! ONE MAN IN TOWN STOPPED THE MAYOR THE OTHER DAY, AND SAID, YEAH, BUT WHY WOULD YOU PUT A HOMELESS SHELTER, RIGHT IN SUCH A VISIBLE PART OF TOWN . . . BECAUSE THAT IS THE PROMINENCE, THE PEOPLE OF MISSOULA THINK ALL HUMANS, ESPECIALLY HOMELESS VETS WHO HAVE FALLEN THROUGH THE CRACKS, DESERVE TO BE SEEN, RESPECTED, AND TREATED WITH TOTAL DIGNITY . . . WHAT A GREAT RESPONSE, AND WHO CAN ARGUE WITH SUCCESS. AS I LEFT THE POV PREMISES, HEADING TOWARDS THE CENTER OF TOWN, I LOOKED BACK AT THE MAGIFICENT BUILDING, THE COLORS, THE DESIGN, THE STRUCTURE, AND ITS STATURE IN THE CITY, AND WAS AMAZED BY THE INSPIRING EVENTS OF THE DAY, TRULY PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD WILL TOWARDS MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN, WHO CAN HEAL, LEARN TO FEEL AGAIN, BE TOUCHED BY THE CARE OF A LOVING COMMUNITY, WHO PUT THEIR MONEY AND HEARTS WHERE THEIR MOUTHS WERE . . . I ALSO, HOPED THAT THE HOMELESS, WOULD RAISE TO THE ESTEEM THE CITY SEES THEM IN, KEEP THE GROUNDS NICE, THE BUILDING SHINING, AND THEMSELVES AN EXTENSION OF WHAT IS BEING DONE HERE . . . WHAT AN AWESOME THANKSGIVING & CHRISTMAS PRESENT ALL ROLLED UP IN ONE, A MODEL OF LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL COOPERATIONS IN SERVING THE NEEDS OF THE HOMELESS . . . LIKE I SAID, THE POV IS WORLD FAMOUS, OR IMFAMOUS! LOL! HAVE A GOOD ONE!
