Seven years. That is how long ago police, admittedly assaulted me on my own property, in the dark of the night, without cause or warrant during a mental-health crisis. They never announced their presence, and they admit to that as well. A year later, after a prosecutor repeatedly lied on record and openly ignored known science, which in my case was further backed up by some 30+ years of medical and psychological records, a judge compared me to a right-wing fanatic—Timothy McVeigh—before declaring I would be set as an example for the entire country, then sentenced me to the harshest sentence ever handed down for the same crime in that district. All of this is on record.
I had no criminal history and no real history of political rhetoric worth noting. I also did not actually commit a crime when, after an unidentified person kicked open a door to my home and opened fire on me in the dark, my returned fire—birdshot from a shotgun, essentially non-lethal—barely injured this intruder—who forensics show was caught by a ricochet after illegally entering a private residence.

I also did not actually commit a crime when, after an unidentified person kicked open a door to my home and opened fire on me in the dark, my returned fire—birdshot from a shotgun, essentially non-lethal—barely injured this intruder—who forensics show was caught by a ricochet after illegally entering a private residence. These officers—as it turned out only after their violations of policy, procedure, and constitutional guarantees—did have histories of questionable behavior, which included cases dismissed because of similar violations. The judge was denied reappointment to the bench for his career of ill-mannered courtroom behavior and his exceedingly poor record of discretion, shortly after he violated my due-process rights (in several ways, on record). The prosecutor has recently lost his primary because of concerns of financial improprieties and corruption at his office (the latter of which my case openly proves).
All of the above was hidden in plain view, dependent on the naïve trust of citizens in a system that has never properly worked but has more importantly been in a process of cascade failure for at least the last 50 years. A major contributor to that now-epic collapse has been the willful ignorance of politicians, police, prosecutors, and judges towards advancing science. This ignorance being founded, primarily on a near-pathological fear of losing their powers and being forced to adapt to new knowledge. More concisely stated as laziness—habitual laziness.
One of these key aspects of the advanced science I refer to is our new and more complete understanding of neuroscience: the workings of our brains. This understanding undercuts most of the premises that our very antiquated judicial system has been founded upon, especially where culpability is of concern. Since the 1960s, questions of behavioral choice regarding the brain and the mind—once thought to be separate and distinct—have been laid before the courts as both defense and reasonable blame. In the past 20 years, our understanding has grown in leaps and bounds, and in the last decade alone our understanding of brain process has set forth the evidence in no uncertain terms that the physical wellness of the brain is of paramount importance in deter-mining culpability, and again where any punitive actions may or may not be imposed, and further still where the severity of such punishment is to be decided.
The criminal-justice system, from top to bottom, small-town rural and big city, state and federal, has refused to keep up with modern science. DNA is a perfect example, as tens of thousands continue to languish in prisons, wrongfully convicted and outright innocent of any crimes. Head injuries, from cumulative concussions to more immediate and severe injuries to the brain, have also now left tens of thousands wrongly held captive, and in the majority of cases also denied the requisite medical and mental-health care.
I write about this often, having survived a near-fatal traumatic brain injury that reports a mortality rate upwards of 50-60%. I then survived the domestic violence of a wife who saw me suffering for years—including several minor psychological-breakdown events—while she slowly took possession of most of my life (money, phone, car, etc.). Since all of that I have survived 7 years of being openly tortured—including 9 more concussive blows to the head, six by state officers and three by prisoners instigated by state officers, all of which have been reported, documented, and summarily ignored by the state’s officers—while being illegally held captive in contra-diction to state documents that conclusively show I am a victim of bad cops, a dirty prosecutor, and a deranged judge.
I am also the victim of five separate courts, including a state Supreme Court and a federal appellate, all of whom, on record, have openly ignored the evidence and/or violated the law, my rights, and even their own rules. Politicians not only do not seem to cave in the least but also in some instances (every VA state and federal politician) seem to be supporters of the corruption, the brutality, and the flagrant dishonesty, all laid out in black and white, on the record. What do you say when you have concrete evidence—video and photo—that you were brutalized by police, and when politicians—Senators Tim Kaine or Mark Warner for example—write you a rubber-stamp letter saying they cannot help you, or when state Senators such as David Sutterlein (along with 139 other politicians) just ignore you?
They are not only ignoring your horror-filled nightmare. They are also ignoring the advances in science, even as concussion awareness and protocols are blasted on the news daily. Or ignoring the rancid filth that passes as mental-health care, pre- and post-incarceration, even as the TV demands we address such issues, immediately. Mostly, and most importantly, they are ignoring their own failures and culpability in a situation growing more dire with every passing week, with every life, every family destroyed. Those destroyed humans are the result of lawmakers and enforcers who live so far in the past that you feel obligated to ask them which year’s calendar they are using.
I continue to fight for my stolen freedom, in courts whose legitimacy is completely eroded. Against laws and statutes that those illegitimate courts have forgotten even existed. And these courts willfully ignore other laws as needed, for their own convenience. There is science that is solid and accepted everywhere—except in those illegitimate courts. How can this system stand on such a flawed foundation, which is crumbling before our very eyes? In fact, it doesn’t anymore, as the majority of citizens have come to recognize, as I have, its failures and the refusal to adjust.
Seven years. Of beatings, psychological abuse, torture tactics, disregard for my physical and psycho-logical health, ignoring documented disabilities, openly falsifying internal (VA DOC) records to create a—provably—false reality….
You cannot make this up….
But you can document all of it…
Every scrap of paper saved….
Do you want to see?
