An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

I'll start out with this pamphlet:

Zen and I began our protest as planned today, and despite the cold weather and wind we stayed put the whole time. The PV crew didn't have quite as big of a turnout, and everyone seemed to be a bit late in arriving. One couple parked and came over to us and asked what we were protesting. We explained a few things but when one of us mentioned something about PV overmedicating patients they interrupted with sarcastic comments like "are either of you doctors?" "how long ago were you at PV?" "was Doctor Raman your psychiatrist?" we then realized they were actually PV parents/grandparents, and I started filming. Later we had an employee from the hotel across the street come over to us said he remembered me from the last time and wanted to know about our protest. We also had a person in a pickup stop to inquire about our signs, who thought we were protesting a cheating wife. About this time the parents meeting was coming to an end. The older couple from earlier emerged from the hotel and the female decided to do a little catwalk strut and bow for us on her way back to their car. Then a parent in a pickup really squealed his tires in his haste to exit the parking lot, whether this was because he didn't want us to get his plate number or because he just endured a three hour long brainwashing session I don't know. Robert "Bob" Pegler then left with a female passenger, both again ignoring us and avoiding eye contact.

Here's the video:

(sorry for the shakiness.. I was shivering from a combo of cold and nervousness, and when you're shooting video at full 10x zoom the littlest movement has a big effect.

The boat launches closest to PV that I could find are here and here. There is also this boat ramp right on the peninsula, but I suspect it's privately owned although it looks to be open to the public.

To anyone wondering what PV and Country Inn & Suites said to the police during their phone conversation:

You gave me a real good idea.  I should call the redlands five-oh and ask for their tapes.

BTW: anything visible from teh public eye is fair game to photograph or videotape.  You did nothign illegal.  It's absurd they would waste valuable police resources on that crap.

You can actually get almost any government documents by using FOIA requests (911 phone calls, dashcam video, paper reports, etc.) like I did. Unfortunately the police car that showed up for me didn't have a camera running at the time, but at least I was able to get the 911 tapes and these reports:
Doc.1
Doc.2

 

Wow.  Didn't know you could get such stuff through FOIA.  There is a call made to Blount Co. Sheriff's Dep't  I'd like to get a copy of.  What do you ask for?  Could you ask for a record of calls made about PV to the local Fifes?

I'll PM you about the details, but I can probably get it for you.

The first PV protest on September 27 went very well, and this one should be even better- there will be a few more attending this time, and Che was kind enough to send me a better camera to document everything.
This upcoming protest on November 22nd will again be in front of the RDU Country Inn & Suites at 201 Airgate Dr Morrisville NC 27560 from 8:30am to 12:30pm while PV has their parent's meeting inside.
Parking is available right nextdoor at the I-40 Park & Fly lot for $7.00, let them know you won't need a shuttle.
Bring your own signs, but they should be no larger than 24in x 24in or have metal supports/handles.
Feel free to PM /email me with any questions, or just discuss here.

Hey peeps...
I was just wondering when the PV  physical protest is going to take place because I would like to attend in support of the survivors.

Sent you a PM..

I think Peninsula Village definitely deserves to be on that list, of course I am a bit biased... but if you're factoring size into this I could see why PV isn't included.
