Lapses Of Reason & Moments Of Frustration

[Guest guest]

Hello gypsyis4u ,In reference to your comment:• Again, if you are

still reading this...I do apologize & ask for your• forgiveness. Thank you

again for listening.• ~Robin~

Peace & Greetings

Robin; you've done nothing to be "forgiven" for... All our views are based on

perception/experience, and under the circumstances, your frustation/s are

understandable...Being retired military and law enforcement, I've also dealt

firsthand with both the "faults" of our system and people, as well as their

higher attributes...What rattled my cage, were the assumptions that all who

remained in New Orleans were idiots, and deserved what happened (dont remember

You being one alluding to that). In a prior post, I stated that many not only

had No way out; many had nowhere To go... Such is Not an assumption, as I've

been volunteering with relief efforts at the Astrodome and had opportunity to

see and speak with many displaced survivors...

As tragic as the state of global affairs are today, Janna realistically and

correctly pointed out that we (earths tennants) are caught up in something far

bigger. The Wheel turns, and will not stop until the cycle is complete. This is

inevitable and the result of thousands of years of evolution; or lack

thereof...

Blessings

Hi Robin,

 

I'm glad to hear that your son was found 'not guilty'

of what he was actually innocent.

 

I know that being out the $10,000 bond has got to hurt

(that's a crime in itself).

 

But look at it this way, your son was one of the lucky

ones. When I was in law school in 1989, the statistics

were that 95% of all criminal cases that went to trial

resulted in a 'guilty' verdict. Actual guilt or actual

innocence is irrelevant, sadly. It's all about what's

provable. And to win against the word of a law

inforcement officer is lucky indeed.

 

I'm sorry for your experience, and hope it doesn't

jade your son at such a young age. We hear too many

cases of people being let out of jail after 20 years

due to DNA proof that they were innocent - and STILL

people think they are somehow guilty or they would not

have been convicted!

 

No wonder that you feel angry and frustrated. But, for

being lucky enough to prove his innocence, Congratulations!
