I do not like how I am not using these meetings to my advantage. There's no need for me not to feel and sound confident. I am just blah.. indifferent, unenthused and somewhat directionless. I have been finding my own peace lately but there is no real drive to do anything at this moment. Perhaps I feel any prior endeavor is futile from this position.
I have gone on so long without what I have desperately needed that... I feel a bit lost and even if I had everything that I felt I needed for months given to me now... I am sure I could find some direction and accomplish something that I want, but there's likely not enough time. A friend who had warned me in the very beginning that this is what they do. They just drag everything out and stall you. For him, the price was losing his Son. I find this unacceptable.
Witnessing an Assault & giving a Police Statement.
Two nights ago, over the course of roughly five hours, I witnessed one guy get slapped with an open hand and several hours later take two punches in the head. It wasn't really the punches in my perspective that did him in, it was the fact he was intoxicated. He stumbled and fell smashing his head into the hard asphalt driveway knocking him unconscious. This resulted in a rather large unsightly stream of blood flowing away from his head and my obligation to get him an ambulance. He didn't even look like he was breathing.
Of course the above also resulted in having to give a Police Statement. I shouldn't have said Report in the Audio, but rather 'Statement'. This next resulted in taking some personal flak as questionable people witnessed my speaking to an Officer. I have at least temporarily become known as 'Statement Guy'. Threats erupted to my person immediately after and they have continued on even until this very morning. Mostly, it is just senseless drama but these people do not seem to get it.
For starters, the incident is on camera. It is all recorded. Whether I give a statement or not the whole thing will be seen on recorded video. Next, the guy could have easily died from such an injury. He and the rest of us deserve the dignity in that outcome to have had things reported properly. Moving on even further, the guy who threw the punches woke me in the middle of the night to apologize and state that he was sorry for what he did. That he was glad I was there to look after the other fellow. This same communication was repeated again yesterday. We have no issue with each other.
So as you can see the people who take issue with my Statement to the Police are a little misguided. These people are struggling with the guilt of their own misdeeds. If they themselves chose to stop going through life doing these wrong deeds, they themselves likely would not feel the need to go around threatening people. It is a fear of their own misconduct that drives them in these matters. Of course, there's also that urge to try and prove themselves when really, they have nothing worth proving.
Reducing Bail Frequency
His Supervisor is not in. The simple answer is that no one cares.2018-05-16
Often while I write these pages, or afterwards there are edits, additions or omissions, I'd like to change. I did make a proper statement to the police. I gave him everything to know about the incident. In the recording however, in my having to repeat the statement for an audio recording, that was not stated to the same effect. That almost me stating in the recorder the bare minimum. Not that any of this matters.
If anyone is wondering, the guy that was hit and consequently fell, he has a fractured eye socket, a broken bone in his shoulder and fractures in his arm. Meanwhile, I still have the same idiot trying to involve himself in my affairs that have nothing to do with him this morning.
