Your situation is very complicated, but I believe that no human should be put to death by a system of government. We are better than that and more people need to admit it, take it to heart and do something about it. I will support your cause and will tell your story One Eagle.
Best Regards, Todd

Milo, you mentioned you had been attacked also that same day? I know you said you would go into that in a future blog but I was wanting to ask more about it, anyway. (smile, sorry if I am nosy but I am interested in whats happened in this case and wish I had heard about it sooner) Your injuries sounded severe such as a blow to the back of the head which can cause some serious damage....did you ever get that looked into or were you denied the right to medical care that was decent?? I hope you were not hurt in a way that has continued to affect you badly. I suffered a head injury and have suffered from tonic-clonic seizures ever since. Yet before my head injury was brought up, it took forever for the neurologist to rule out epilepsy which was ruled out 100 percent yet the EEG (brain scan) showed what appeared to be "scar tissue" as they said at the front of the skull.....Ive not had another EEG since due to insurance reasons (which isnt surprising!) but hopefully it IS scar tissue and not something that has grown, something worse. But luckily I think I am fine, as it has been years since that first scan. Also, when you mentioned the broken nose and blow to the back of the head- I know my cousin once received a blow to the back of the head so severe it broke her nose and blacked both her eyes from the hit to the BACK of her head!! She never had to be struck in the front at all, due to the severity of the blow to the back which caused what they call a HINGE FRACTURE. She too has problems until this day with vision, depression, personality change since the attack, etc. Sounds as if you are lucky to be alive especially coming from someone who has firsthand experienced a head injury and also helped nurse a relative (cousin with hinge fracture) who ended up in the CCU (critical care unit, worse than the intensive care unit) and wasnt even expected to live!! Thank God she has, but she has totally changed personality wise like a total different person. No kidding. I still love her, and am there for her though always. You said in this entry you have no one to call anyway, what happened to any family you have? Are they out of the US or have you lost contact with them? Wishing you the best and my apologies if my long winded reply and questions are annoying! Take care! -CC

Were you able to recognize or get a look at the person who attacked you the same day? I also forgot to ask that. -CC
