Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well. I hope your mom is doing well and that you hear from your daughter soon. Good luck with trying to get a job!
What's up cool, This is another great share, we have all been there in some form or another. Of course I had a bias for you throughout the share and was rooting for you so when you delivered the final line " I got myself a dog after that" I LOL here at work as it was unexpected. Think about it, you posted this from Cali a while back and at some point in Mass, you created laughter that ended up disturbing the people around me. Bernie would be proud of you.
That is the power of sharing, Ron
P.S. You also got me present to how much I miss Bernie Mack.
Thanks for writing, I worked on the transcription for your post.
I was very interested to read your thoughts on these issues. I'm a white lady from the UK, so unfortunately I'm not exactly qualified to respond! Black youth in this country are definitely targeted more for 'random' stop-and-search interactions with police. Thankfully, our police do not carry firearms (unless a gun is believed to be involved in the crime, in which case a specialist team with advanced training is recruited). Some officers carry tasers or batons, and I believe all city police officers wear a body camera. Still, deaths do occur - on both sides.
From the massive media coverage of recent events in the US involving black suspects being shot/killed, I can only imagine that being a young person of colour in America today must be terrifying at times. I hope that doesn't sound patronising.
Your post has definitely provided some food for thought.
I just recently read something you wrote about your case. You mentioned my name in it (stop giving out my name with anything that has to do with your case or YOU) and made lies about me and the case. You said you were once given physical placement of Alexia while you were in jail. Are you kidding???? First of all nothing ever went to court regarding her. As her mother I ALWAYS HAD CUSTODY OF MY CHILD!!!!! Stop these lies!!! So many lies. You write crazy ridiculous things. I thought you only got 40 years.... did you really get 60????? Just wondering but don't write back. I can't take the lies or any correspondence with you. You lie too much and you are not good for me. I try to keep positive honest people in my life.... only honest good people. Sorry I am done again!!!!!!!! with you. I tried, but the lies.... too many!!!! I don't have time or the mental energy to talk with you about it. It is a waste of my time because you will never get it!!!!! Rereading some of the things you wrote are so not good for me. I stay away from those bad terrible memories of the past and sorry to say you were and are part of my bad memories.... Good by. Sorry but I tried.
