I know this sounds like bullshit. I don't blame the skeptics. I'd be crying bullshit, my damn self. If you'll tell me the litmus test you need, I'll lick the strip, friends. I'm not making this up: This is not a drill. I wish i could tell you just how much i wish I WAS entirely full of shit.

I've sent off 3 emails to LA civil rights lawyers. I'm hoping that LAPD is a soft enough target with deep enough pockets to get a hungry shark on my team. I did read something about them having to settle a similar case for 150k, so one hopes thats just enough blood in the water.

My phone number is listed, as I am poor. My address appears with that information. I assume that is how they found me. What baffles ME is...my name isn't Jose whatever the dude was. Clearly, the number belongs to someone else now...so wtf?!

I did not get their names, and I know thats a major screw up. Every time I tried to reach for a pen and my notebook, another salvo of "Hey (forgot name), I really think we should take these kids" would start up and...

Deer. Meet Headlights.

If i could leave, having either the means or a place to land if I did, I'd go. Right.Freaking.Now. I LOATHE Los Angeles. I come from a small family, all of whom live here.

Incidentally, I am in Lancaster, which is northern LA County. I am not in LA itself. Lancaster is not just sorta red, its REALLY red. Lancaster makes Orange County look blue. Our (thankfully) deceased former state congressman was Pete Knight. You know, the author of the Defense of Marriage Act? Yeah, THAT Pete Knight. This place is not just red, folks, its Neo-Con CENTRAL. These are the loonies that voted for Buchannan. Oh, and they own the local paper >.<

Theres three libs here, that I personally know. Every now and then we sneak off into the desert and hug a joshua tree. Its all part of our plot to turn everyone gay. Shhh. Don't tell.

Please excuse the levity. Its that or cry.

Yessir Officer, I cannot tell a lie, I did put that envelope under that pile of garbage...

*edit...number is listed, not unlisted, sorry
