'MUSCLES' jumping off the couch--'Jumping to conclusions can land you barking up the wrong tree'' Jumping to conclusions can land you barking up the wrong tree '
    To this day years later, with much rumination and soul-searching, it still is
    incomprehensible to me that so many levels of authority and peoples were
    made aware of these issues---yet there has been no response in any form 
    for the public's health and safety from any one or any agency's department!
 
    This I know---that if all this worthless hoopla has happened to me, then        in "some" form it has happened to others.  I finally had to come to the   
    conclusion that no one was capable of saying 'sorry'.  It just had to be that
    no one cared to know and no one knew better to do so.  It just had to be
    that no one could help themselves enough to get more concerned or
​    involved---not for the nation's sake, and not even for themselves!
     
    On another note, one lesson from this debacle:  Supporting local small-
    business-owners should include having them feel safe in seeking help and
    protection from the local town agencies they pay for. 

     On another higher note, some morals from this debacle:  Assumptions should never be made if there is no respect
     or diligence to listen to someone in the first place.  Jumping to conclusions will most likely end with poor discernment
     of the situation.  Earning respect, trust and admiration includes an ownership of mistakes and learning from them.
     Pursuing and upholding truth prevents tying everyone and the system all up in a twist.

Closeup of 'MUSCLES' sitting in front seat of vehicle pondering--'In reality, I'm the hero---I guided the way back, and gave my whole heart & ' In reality, I'm the hero in this saga! I guided the way back, and gave my whole heart & "MUSCLES"-power without a word. '
  All I know for sure is this.  I did not have to go to war to experience injustice and
 horror--I experienced it right here at home.  And I do not have to concern myself
 with "non-americanized" terrorists--I already have been doubly-terrorized and
 doubly-betrayed by my own fellow countrymen.  
​
 It appears that "stalker" and "protector" have become almost indistinguishable,     neither concerned with "honorable-conduct" nor "content-of-character". 
 What ever happened to the importance of righteousness and virtue?.....  
 How about showing ANY kind of strength in character & soul?   

 I have had to greatly revamp expectations of my fellow countrymen over & over 
 & over again throughout these past years!!  If there are no consequences for the   vandalizing stalker who terrorizes by "stalking"---and there are no consequences   for the protectors who cause more harm by not "protecting & helping"---is it
 no wonder that our nation is in the condition it's in?! 

 How can a society expect to stand for truth and justice if "bulliers" are not held accountable for acknowledging and   amending their indiscretions?!  And when have persons in this country become so lame and weak as to not own up 
 to their mistakes and actions?!  Where's the ownership and compassion for mistakes made against one's fellowman?!

 I can almost guarantee that the state of this country will become much worse as the nation's "justice system continues to
 crumble".  As the people lose strength for individual self-reflection, lose humility for individual self-control & correction,   and lose maturity for selflessness & righteousness (as opposed to selfishness & self-righteousness)--the justice system
 will fall within it's own crumbled foundation!  
                       IN ANY EVENT--
                       The one-word description for what I had to work myself out of?     "SHATTERED".
                       I had been left appalled, stunned, wounded and alone in a country which I no longer recognized.
                       I had been stopped cold in my tracks---left to find my own way back---and left to figure out why
                       I ever placed my pride, respect and trust in what & whom I did in the first place!
​
                       How would I ever come to grips with such vicious assaults which would never be acknowledged,
                       much less rectified or apologized for?  Before we address that answer, let's consider some thoughts.
​                                                                               -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
​
                                    The battle for finding my way back to peace and to a redefined reality required excruciating
                         perseverance.  Enduring that period of time demanded herculean effort, strength and patience.
                         There are few words for the appalling mistakes and assaults I experienced at the hands of others, 
                         and the long-lasting disruptions it caused in my life and to the business.  However, there are no 
                         words for the profound silence of ignoring and dismissing any responsibility for such negligent 
                         conduct--and worse, no means of attaining justice with the truth. 

                         It amazes me that our nation's people want to live in a nation which stands for truth and justice, 
                         with civil rights and freedoms, but individually don't rally when injustice is witnessed.  It does
                         no good to just offer judgments or opinions, or expect the offended to just "get-over-it and move-on", 
                         or "wake-up", or "get-above" themselves.  Voicing judgments and opinions is just a "lazy" way of doing
                         nothing. 

                         And certainly it does no good to turn or run away from injustice as if it doesn't exist--or to "cower"
                         from the awful mistakes made at someone else's expense--or to look away, hoping the whole problem
                         "will just go away". 

                         When have adults in this nation become this complicit?!  Being weak and denying the wrongs of 
                         this country, did not build this country.  Being a coward is not the way to build civility, maturity,
                         professionalism and wisdom!
​

​​​                                                                        -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​​
​
​                            To deny the truth of what is really happening is to 
                    believe a falsehood.  To believe other than what is the
                    truth is the definition of delusion!  Being silent and dis-                          regarding the truth is being guilty of complying with the
                    the deception--and being silent is justifying the injustice. 

                    If reactions are only apathy and inaction which perpet-
                    uate the delusion (or the victim is conveniently blamed),
                    it becomes a fool's game with only a pretense of equal
                    rights and respect for everyone.  

                    And so it is the same when truth is ignored with no
​                    valid concern or correction for a neighbor's injustice--
                    there can not be "justice-for-all" no matter how you 
                    spin it.

' What happened to the "tooth" & nothing but the "bone"-a-fide "tooth" ? '
                    If incidences are not brought to light or acknowledged or learned from, the errors are silently 
                    condoned.  The deeds become doomed to be repeated, undermining the nation's values and
                    principles all the more.  Eventually trust and belief in them are eroded altogether!               

​                                                                                       ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                                                More Pondering and Thinking

               Also consider---
​          "Truth" should not be "relative", or "subject-to-opinion", or fickle. 
          "Truth" should be universally understood for it's irrefutable value, and be upheld by all! 

               If the truth is only a personal "self-serving" opinion or fabrication, there can be no "common-unifying" truth
          to base justice on.  In other words, truth should not be "relative" to each individual because there would not
          be a "universal" understanding of what truth would be.  In such a case, justice also would become just another
          individual opinion--and no one would be on the same wavelength!  Whose "justice" would be followed?

Picture
' Even our DOGGO-PACKS are built upon TRUTH!!! Our survival in the wild DEPENDS ON mutual TRUST & RESPECT!!! '
   In other words, truth must be a guiding common-denominator for the
   nation to keep "on-course".  That is---to keep the ship "on-course", the
   ship's compass for "due-north" must be respected and universally worked
   at by all!  Each individual must be responsible and strong enough to keep 
   their own compass "due-north" for the sake of the whole ship's direction.  

   If the compass-readings are allowed to become "relative", and each
   individual is "rowing" to any "relative-due-north", the ship will never stay
   "on-course".  If the ship is allowed to drift "off-course" without correction
   at any level for the ship's "true-due-north", it won't be "on-any-course"
   for any individual onboard much longer.  Inevitably the ship will drift
​   willy-nilly, split and divide!

   In these present times, it is no wonder our citizens sense cynicism,
   division, discord and distrust.  No wonder the nation is in such an
   upheaval!  As part of the very foundation, the all important "rudder-of-
   the-ship" also must be trusted to steer straight & true.  It takes truthful
   trustworthy respectful communication among all individuals to keep
   the ship's direction "true-due-north".

          Re: see page 2!!      in April or May 2018!!  Previously, this corner was the only corner of the building that had
                                           no camera.  This location is where the ambulance was brought in--and there had only been
