Cop- Out Stories

[RTP2003]

I split from 2nd pase when my foster brother, Dave Pipkin, got put on a 3day away from home.  I didn't trust him, so as soon as I knew I wouldn't have to deal with him, I got up early in the morning and walked out of the motel room my dad had rented.  I called some friends back home and they bought me a bus ticket.  I stayed at my friend's place, slept on the couch for about a month, until one day I woke up with a detective and a bunch of Straight parents surrounding me.  They found out where I was staying from a Phys. Ed. intern at my old school who had seen me at a record store.  He wrote down the tag number of the car I got into, which was registered to my friend at the house I was staying in.  No-good busybody!

I came back, got confronted, etc. and left again from school in Tampa after scamming my way to 4th phase.  I think I'd been on 4th for about 3 0r 4 days.  I hid out in the woods in Tampa for a little while, then got accosted by Steve Meade, Bill Yacko, Richard Monterro, and a couple of other goons.  They brought me to some house (Yacko's?) and watched me that night and took me back to Straight the next day.  Straight tried to get my parents to try to court order me there after that, and my dad filed the papers in Duval county instead of Pinellas or Hillsborough, so I actually had a chance of winning. It was an amazing coincidence how the abuse was toned down once I had a court date--I guess they didn't want me to be able to show the judge any bruises. Andrew Keane and some other Straightling phaser went with me to court.  At the hearing, they decided to delay it for three or four days so my count-appointed lawyer, the great Stephen O. Parker, esq., could prepare my case.  Andrew Keane nearly shit a brick when my lawyer told him that I did not have to go back to Straight.  They had  a hissy fit until the State's lawyer said he'd call the cops to get them to take me to juvie until the hearing.  The honorable Mr. Parker advised me to go back to Straight until the hearing, telling me that he didn't see any way that they would be successful in their attempt to court order me.  I went back to Straight, played air guitar and cliqued with other misbehaver/non-complying types ( a big round of applause to Dave Lively, John Sullivan, and a couple of others whose names escape me now--thanks for the support!) for about 3 days, then went to my hearing with Kurt Jones and Richard Monterro. That limey faggot child-abusing ex-priest Chris Yarnold was Straight's expert--what a joke. Straight also had some lie-filled deposition by one of their quack shrinks, too.  The shrink had called me "the most happy-go-lucky fuck up" he had ever seen.
 When the judge said those magic words, "I deny the motion", I broke out laughing and shook my lawyer's hand.  Kurt Jones looked like he was going to cry, Richard Monterro looked stunned, like he couldn't believe that the Almighty Straight's plans had been thwarted, Yarnold shook his head, and some Straight parent who was there for kicks got a disgusted look on his face and walked out of the courtroom.  He told me in the hallway "You'll never work for me" (ooh what a threat) to which I replied "Damn right I won't".  I was free. :wave:

YEEE-FUCKIN-HAWWWW!! :nworthy:  :wave:  :grin:

I love hearing stories like that!!

Holy shit!!  Kurt Jones, Andrew Keane, Richard Monterro, Bill Yacko...OMG!! I remember them....Kurt had a sister Julie too, so did Andrew..Nancy.  

Remember Debbie and Terri Mauriello fighting like all hell???  DAMN, I wish I would have had the guts to do that back then.  Shelly Howard and Kim Bradley were pretty fucking harsh on me...I'd have LOVED to have knocked Kim's fucking teeth out.

When the government's boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence.

Oh yeah the Mauriello sisters were hellions!  I used to love to watch them raise hell.

Shelley Howard I don't remember too well.  I do remember Kim Bradley being quite a bitch.

Richard had an older brother, Oscar.  I remember Roger Amundsen used to give him a lot of shit. He would alternate between "sitting" and complying.  He was a real prick to me in group a couple of times, so I never sympathized.  I remember him and George Harvard (redneck from Hilliard, FL) going out of their way to fuck with me one time when I wouldn't "motivate".

Joe told me about when he and George Hondrelas (sp) were newcs and came out of the back seat of the car head first w/ a suitcase that they slammed the o/c with.  They stayed gone for a couple of days, but were brought back.

Remember Geoff McKelvey's yacht the Miss Chris??

There are two kinds of people; those who's lives have been somehow touched by harsh tragedy and those you don't know very well.
-- Ginger Warbis

[RTP2003]

I remember all the 4th and 5th phasers went out on the yacht-- I was on 1st phase, so it didn't mean that much to me.  Wasn't McKelvey's dad some big-time Straight donor?

[Cayo Hueso]

yeah, he was....he lived in the same bldg. in NY as Billy Joel...he was some record bigwig, I think.  I had just made 4th so I got to go. Beautiful yacht.  54ft.

If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the
government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees.

I remember Kelli Van Zil taking off from trainee...when they brought her back in, it kinda freaked me out.  One day she's leading raps, confronting the shit out of people, couple days later SHE'S getting ripped.

There were other staff too that left and were brought back but I can't think of who they were right now.

Remember David Laird???  I read an editorial reply he wrote to the Times after the article re: Sammie, Chris, Richard a couple years ago.  Completely pro-program.  I wasn't surprised though.  He was WAY too gung ho on his phases and staff.

...to disarm the people (is) the best and most effective way to enslave them...

[Froderik]

Cayo, I'm sure you must already know this, but she (Kelly) was brought up to the Springfield, VA program sometime in 83 or 84..(?) She was kind of a 'hottie' as I recall,,

[Cayo Hueso]

I may have been there when she was moved, there's a lot that I CAN remember but there's also a lot that I don't.  She was a pretty girl.  

What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that
they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long.
--Thomas Sowell

[RTP2003]

David Laird was a fucking psycho.  He was way too gung-ho and seemed to really enjoy confronting people.  His sister, Kathy, was in the program too.

I remember seeing Kirsten Marriott in an intake room after they brought her back.  I was delivering lunch to the room.  I think they sent her to Va., but I don't know.  Jeff Leugers was sent back to group after being on Staff.  I read on the Yahoo site that he killed himself.  He was actually pretty cool with me when he was my o/c, but I thought he was kind of goofy.  There's a couple of other staff members I wouldn't cry over if they chose to follow his footsteps.  I don't know what Jeff was like as a Staff member, but he seemed like just another victim when he was in group.
