Well senor is set to make his 4th damned appearance on this little charge... Never ceases to amaze me the waste of governmental types.... I'm fully expecting that either the prosecutor will decide not to go forward, or, the nice lady judge will declare the matter moot on a time issue.... I'm still standing fast for complete exhonoration..... Like Alfred E. Neuman put it: What Me Worry :wink: :lol:
Keep at 'em man!
alfred e. neuman, a true guiding spirit.
with you in spirit and strength, senor.
break a leg tomorrow in court
I will admit to a certain sense of exhiliration in that I am completely innocent.. Of course, If the stars are somewhat misaligned and I am somehow found guilty, I'd be really let down... I guess what I'm saying is I have some bit of hope and prayer that actual justice will prevail in the court.... My, what a concept eh??? :wink:
Good luck, mon.

arrrg, the forums were down for a couple days right after your court date.
Wondering how it went... hopefully well?
good question.
Senor?
jail
arrrgh
I doubt this was a jailing offense.

Uh-Oh... Senor... you there?
I think he's fighting a potential ticket and a lifetime ban from the park, neither being hanging nor jailing offenses. Well, maybe in Florida where chads are hung every now and then.
You folks need to remember that Sal usually rolls like a turtle with his house on his back. And he's got neither generator nor usb port up his ass...

Hey there folks.. 'Tis sal.. Thanks mucho for the concern.. Court went ok. Senor got his justice; even have a piece of paper in my wallet that declares that if the police seek to tresspass me they are in violation of the judges order... They did not see fit to rename the park after me, nor did I even get a gazeebo cited in my honor.. Guess I'll be ever traumatized by that... :roll: --- As far as it being a jailable offense; would 'ya believe they actually could give a person a year in the county for such a thing??? The reason I have been absent is that the Sunday prior to my court appearance, I had the misfortune of having a cop come into my little piece of woods and demand that I vacate.. Now, I could not say no, as I was definitely tresspassing on clearly posted property.. The thing that ticked me off is that the cop gave me a choice of either being taken to jail or I could take my tent and all my belongings and throw them in a dumpster about a couple of hundred yars away... Jeez, can 'ya imagine more of an asshole cop??? So,,, senor had to throw away everything he owned rather than go to jail... Then, I had to go about finding another crash spot... Well, I found another spot, and as they say, life goes on...Thanks again for the kind thoughts........
What a crazy story.
Couldn't you throw everything in the dumpster and then just come back and collect what you REALLY wanted?
Piece of parer for your troubles, eh?
congrats.

I guess I could have gone back and retrieved my stuff, but the truth of the matter is that a friend and I were drunk as skunks when the ordeal happened and I was so disgusted that I tossed all the goods and walked away... I mean, sure, it's a minor setback, but I'm figuring I can just go about acquiring the crap again... That's one of those things about being "residentially challenged" ie homeless; If 'ya lose all your stuff, it's really only 1-2 hundred bucks worth of stuff, so not that big a deal to replace..To paraphrase Janis,,,, Freedoms' just another way of having nothin' left to lose :e_wink:
Come live on my farm man... a nice little (almost) self-sufficent farm, I'm working on...
I grow fruit, goji, blueberry, cherry... tobacco... all the entheogens... It's a nice place... come visit.
yeah, i would've hoped the stuff would be retrievable, but if being homeless means being detached from belongings, i say Zen way is good way.
The cop really was a sweet guy, offering up a choice. Why would he care if you just took your stuff and moseyed on along? What possible satisfaction lies in robbing a human being of his few possessions?
oh yeah, highwaymen...
happy new year, by the way.
the planet is turning, turning.
I am glad you are not in jail. Keep on keeping on. If you ever need anything man, anything, I'm only an ocean and an IM away.
Yes, that cop was certainly an example of a corrupted soul masquerading as a public servant... There is no possible justification for causing-manipulating the loss of my stuff... I'd imagine that dude has a Karmic debt list a mile wide, deep, and long... I happened to see that officers two days later as I was exiting a grocery store... I gave him my patented evil-eyed / dissaffected smirk. He just glanced away furtively and made his way into the store...Probably scoring some cholesterol ridden sack of donuts would be my guess.... Thanks for the support peeps.........
Hey Sal,
I'm really glad everything worked out for the most part! It's really cool to see someone who is willing to stand up to the police and actually win in the end! Keep being the awesome dude that you are! I wish you all the best!
Peace,
