Nasty Lawyers

I got a horrible email today from the family of a victim of local crime. 

The cops arrested a woman for no reason at all.  She had a couple of drinks at home.  No law was violated.  None. 

They put her in a detention center for alcoholics. 

She was raped at said detention center.

She was arrested, again, and charged with yelling at a cop shortly after the assault.   People who are raped and in shock act in unpredictable ways.  Arresting her was improper. 

The city lawyers don't want her to sue the facility, so they are trying to intimidate her by charging her will all sorts of silly crimes.

I've experienced harassment from this group of legal goons before.  My patience is wearing thin.

Sweeties...

Play nice...

Or I'll hit "publish" on all those legal documents I have and show the victim's lawyers the games you play. 

You can behave.

Drop the issue with this woman now and apologize OR I WILL MAKE ALL THOSE EMAILS THEY SENT TO ME OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST THREE YEARS PUBLIC. 

I WILL ALSO POST THE DEPOSTIONS.

I WILL ALSO POST THE DISCOVERY.

I have absolutely nothing to lose.  YOU WILL LOSE YOUR JOBS! 

You need to find your professionalism and your honor. 

50% of the people running for the top spot are women.  2/3s of them were, at one point, dealing with issues pertaining to alcoholism and violence against women on a professional level.   I would not be surprised if one or both of them speak up quite loudly about this. 

At least one of them is a rape survivor who doesn't think that people should be detained for drinking in their own homes.  She thinks the government messes up just about everything it touches.  If the government arrests a woman falsely, detains her and lets a man rape her in said detention facility, it is a travesty of justice.

PERHAPS WE SHOULD DEFUND THE DETENTION CENTER.  No woman wants to be raped.  Seriously, you think you're helping intoxicated people by exposing them to STDs?  What the heck?  I'd personally rather die of the DTs before being raped again.  The VD tests are hell.  Having to explain to my partner and physicians where all those little tears in private places came from is difficult for me, too.  Twenty-five years later and I still have trouble with it. 

The worst part was calling the authorities.  I'm so lucky I chickened out of filing charges against a friend of the family.  I didn't want to go on trial but shudder to think how many other young girls were hurt by this slime ball. 

This is not a joke.  Rape is not funny.  The lawyers are so freakin' lucky the men in her life haven't strung them up. 

Really!!  What the heck are the lawyers smoking?  

What the city pulled IS a fourth amendment violation. 

Crap, I know a woman who will be happy to collect money for the victim's legal fund and consider making a real run for higher office with the promise of OUTSOURCING THE LEGAL DEPATMENT.  They're not doing their jobs anyway.  Why do we need them?

We could always make the LEAD ATTORNEY'S JOB AN ELECTED POSITION. 
If the lead attorney thinks it is cute to charge the rape victim for going into shock and yelling at the female cop who asked if she gave her rapist permission to touch her, I think the lead attorney should resign lest he piss of the women. 

Piss off the men, they posture.  Piss off the women and you have war.  Remember it was the women who took down Pinochet.  They used art to spread word about his abuse of power.  That could be easily done...here.   You want to expand the arts district, don't you?  I'll help...

I'd rather be an activist artist than a [male anatomy part] sucking governmental official.

One in four women will experience sexual assault within her lifetime.  The men in her life will be touched by the experience.  Any politician stupid enough to stay silent on this issue and allow their lawyer to re victimize the survivor has just alienated at least 50% of the voting population. 

The head honcho wants to run for congress.  I'm an artist.  I can make creations that will destroy his chances.  Hmmmmmm.....where to start.  Nothing on the Internet dies. 

He may wish to fix it...NOW!

Oh, and I'm resetting that Warhol clock.  Someone with balls has got to stay in the race and show the wimpy men how the west was won.    Threaten to embarass me and I'll get the new age vote.  I don't want to win....make me the renegade and I've won.  Keep me irrelevant and I'll lose. 


Leave me alone, take care of this and your boy will win.  Piss me off....I'll see to it that a woman will win. 

There are also things I can do to make you tell the truth so...clean this up before I do!

I'm losing my patience with your legal games.  I've played ball for three years.  Don't make me throw a curve ball back at cha.  You will lose. 

Don't make me expose you,

S.

P.S.  I won't sleep tonight.  I'll go to bed scheming ways to bring this out into the national spotlight.
