yeah who ,you are a devils advocate pain in the ass......but I dont despise you. and I do get abit out of hand. but hell I have earned my stripes.You never sat on front row. that is my main beef with you. plain .simple ,sorry, but true. I refuse to get inta that "he said ,she said" thing with you. I just am too old and too tired for that schoolyard shit. I have horredus problems with people ,as a whole being robbed of simple shit that the very idea of america SHOULD guarentee us ,but fails to inforce.I dont have a 100 percent grip on you,your real motivations.I am how ever the following, a survivor, a survivor of straight (late 70s) an x paramedic,and an x cop. I was a herion /delaudid/morphine addict. Ive paid my dues to have my opinion. Ive pretty much turned my back on public safety land. because of things ive seen. Ive "succeeded",and failed. Ive been locked up,and "swat" trained.I play 6 instruments,and play at another 5 or so. so needless to say ,me personally I dont have to prove jack.When a body gets locked up,there should be serious ,serious thought put into it. Any time I,meanining me ,seamey locked anybody up I thought long and hard about it. if you made somebody bleed,fine, bye bye...no biggie. but most people ,who get locked up, in a program,denied liberty,denied the ability to come and go as they please,are denied that. Without even the merest semblance of "due process" doesent that bother you? Just by its own lack of merit?OK let me play the devils advocate for a minute....what if YOU were the one being denied....would that change things for you? where would your perspective be then...cause admit it or no...there for but the grace of god,goes you.
Im not sayin this to be a fucker,cause I could do better if I was. Im just sayin,be aware(GOD I HATE THAT WORD) of the baggage folks carry round here,and the damage that both our alma maters did to us and the pain and regret we carry.Maybe try and have some consideration cause some of us still struggle.
