I met a man, via the internet, he claims to have been married to one of the Redgraves, and he was taken to the bank. Yes, the Courts had their way with him and he was picked clean, and when they were done picking, they boiled the bones, to make sure they got all of the meat. Nothing left, not even anything to lick your fingers left that’s how bad they jammed him. I corresponded with him, for a minute and it’s sad but I know it’s the truth when it comes to the Courts.
I today sat in a court room, traffic court mind you. Yes just traffic court, but the injustice was no less injustice as it is when you are dealing on an unlimited basis. It was digustingly racist, maybe I’m just being butt touched, I’ll let you decide…..
The clerk read off a bunch of names of people who were dismissed, why not to sure.. no reason, they just said your cases have been dismissed, and told them how to get their baile money refunded… the court room empties out, except… except, people with african names or people originally from that region.. I swear, out of about 30 people we were down to about 5 people all from the african region, or at least african sounding names…
One man who happens to be a doctor was accused of not stopping at a stop sign on the corner where he has lived for some 23 years. The cop was coming up the street from the opposite direction, and noticed the man did not stop at the stop sign… The judge “so, did you stop?”, the man “well, yes your honor, I’ve lived there for 23 years and I always stop at that stop sign”, judge “really?” the judge sounded just like joe pessi, “so, how long did you stop for?” the man “oh, I don’t know, probably about 2 seconds”, the judge “guilty”….
The next guy, the judge “so, were you on your cell phone when the officer saw you?”, the guy “no, I was not”, the judge, “but the officer said he saw you”, the guy “well you honor it was a mistake, maybe he thought I was but i was just looking at the time on my phone, because I had to pick up my wife at 8.30 and i was making sure that I was on time because i left the house a little late”, judge “well he says he saw you going southbound and when you saw him you cut acrossed the lanes”, guy “your honor, I was pulling into the hospital where my wife works. you honor, i brought my telephone records to show you that I was not on the phone for at least a half hour, it was impossible for him to have saw me on the phone” judge “ok, let me see that, now you say you were picking up your wife at 8.30 correct?” “yes”, “ok, and you were running a little late?” , “about how late?” man “ooh, only about five minutes” , Judge’ “ok, so about five minutes, so that makes it about 8.35 when you were pulled over by the police officer, and you say it had been at least a half hour since you were on the phone?, so please take a look here and tell me what time it says here on your phone record” , man “ok, lets see here, let me get my glasses, alright, it says here 8.10″ judge “you said a half hour, guilty… next…” What the fuck was that about?
A hundred years ago, i had to do some community service, and at the time my wife was on her death bed, so i go into court and ask for an extension. I tell him, she’s critical and she’s gonna die any moment and i want to be there for her, he says to me “for what? you just gonna sit there?” ok, I slept in the back of my jeep last night, if you want to call 5 minutes at a time for a total of 45 minutes sleep, and it was in the hospital parking lot, and i went stright from the hospital to the court, and i hadn’t even brushed my teeth ok? and he just asked me what? did he really just say that, or is it sleep deprevation? must be the latter cause if it wasn’t he’s gettin an ass whoopin…. I said “what’d you just say?” ” he said, what’re you gonna do just sit there?”, I knew that muther f’er said that, I knew it was lack of sleep, goddamn it not now… “yup, if I have to, that’s what I’m gonna do”, “well sir your request is denied”, “what, you must not have heard me”, “no I heard you, but apparently you don’t get it, you sir are a criminal”, “what!?”… fade to grey… wah,wah,wah…. you ever get so pissed off, shit is flyin out of your mouth and you hear it, but it’s like an out of body experience, and you are standing next to yourself and your next to yourself is standing next to him, and they’re having this conversation and commenting on what your saying? “oh damn, no he didn’t just say that”, “oh, yes he did, tell him to go….” , “no, don’t you must control yourself at this moment. stop it, don’t say those things” , “nah, broa, let that shit out, fuck that punk, let him talk to you like that, he ain’t shit, but a grown assed adult with a black dress with the zipper in the front, tell him to turn that shit around so you can put your foot….”, wah, wah, wah, then I’m thinking to myself, oh shit, and I’m lost again words are flyin, judge or no judge, I’m going to jail for contempt… “oh yeah, well lets get some shit straight, ok, fuck this, my wife is dying and you gonna talk shit to me?” I was so done, i knew it, but it was enough to be talked to like I’m some child who this man does not know who believes that he is so important that he’s going to dictate from that desk whether or not i can spend my wifes last hours with her? I’m on this side of the desk, i’m a free man, no man will ever shackle me or tie me down as if I don’t know my place amongst those that believe they have some sense of control over my life, i chose to abide by the laws, i am not under any illusion that i have to because they tell me i do, so as long as I’m free, this is my life…. I was done for sure… but all of a sudden the Asst d.a. jumped up out of her chair and said “your honor, I’m familiar with this case and this man is right, its ok your honor”. I wanted to walk over to that woman and smack the shit out of her….. I mean I appercaite it and all, but fuck him, i don’t need anyone to talk on my behalf… he says “well, umm, umm ok then i…”, I turned around and walked the fuck out….I even balled up my fists and placed my hands behind my back as i was walking cause I could feel the bailiff coming my way… and all i heard was wah, wah, wah, of the judge and i unclenched the fist of one of my hands and put it out in front of me and left the otherone right behind me incase the wanted to put the cuffs on, but with the other hand that was extended before me, it hit the door and the door flew open an smacked into the wall, and i hit the next door, and the sun hit my eyes and i had a deep pain in my chest, my eyes burn, i didn’t see things the same anymore, my eyes were beginning to see new.
I jumped in my jeep and i drove the 15 miles back to the hospital and sat with my wife. and I told her that I was going to go get our son and I’d be back as soon as i could… It took me about forty minutes round trip and as we walked in to icu, there was a lot of commotion, and we walked into the room and it was full of nurses and technicians and a couple of her doctors. my son was only eleven, and i walked him over to this little kind of waiting room and i said, “so what do you we should do?” and he looked up at me and said “i think we have to let mom go, dad”, so i put my arm around his shoulder or so it seemed, but what i was doing was placing my faith in my son, i was placing everything that i was and will be into my 11 year old son, because i didn’t want him to hurt and I didn’t want his mother to be without him, and i couldn’t stop anything, least of all i couldn’t stop wantint to stop it, and i placed my faith in him that he will be alright. and we walked into her room where they were using the defibulator and thump and her body jumped up violiently as her neck went one way her body went another, it was frantic, one person would hand another a syringe and they stick in in the iv while anotehr person was counting and it was people rushing doing things and her two main doctors were barking orders and they looked at us because they’ve known us for 11 years, and they gave me the look, and all of a sudden my son said “stop”….
Everyone faded into the walls, no one went out past me or my son out the door, they just melted, and they were gone except the two doctors, who were now crying… they were crying and i was standing there while everything was spinning and spinning and the floor was slanting and the doctors came over to me, and i said “thank you”, “we’ll be fine, thank you so much”. and my son and i just stood there, and i told him I’ll leave him alone with his mother, and he said “ok, but wait just a second”, my eleven year old son told me to wait a second, so i did, “he walked past me and opened the door, there was a priest standing there, and my son said to him “father, can we pray”, wtf? so we did…
After a few minutes, of them being alone, my son came out and we went for a walk, and we walked over to the clinic where he grew up taking his mom three times a week all his life and we thanked all the nurses and doctors and spoke to some patience we knew and thanked them some more. we walked over to a different part of the hospital, we went to other floors we went to the cafeteria, we walked and thanked people…. and we walked some more….
My life has never been the same…
