Again, I would like to thank all for their support. Now that considerable venting has gone on, I would like to ask everyone to take a deep breath. We're all angry, very angry but this is also creating an impression that a bunch of angry guys with guns are going to descend upon Olympia and wreak havoc.
I am taking sufficient steps to ensure the protection of my rights, and to address the disturbing issues that were raised. Suffice it to say I am not planning to let this go unchallenged. Wheels move slowly, and as I am moving into my work week somewhat slower. To make things more fun my laptop monitor died on my and I have to lug a big 17" CRT up to the laundry room to get a Wi-Fi signal. Yes, I know some techincal fixes and am also getting a new laptop this week (I hope) My phone is out of airtime until I get paid again Thursday. So between work and communication issues, I am a bit sluggish. The OPD and the entire city have been swamped by the reactions from the Port Protests. Sadly I have gotten tossed up on top of the heap with all the other complaints, this is a hurdle I will have to overcome.
As I have mentioned, I have requested a meeting. I don't know when this will happen, but I will do everything I can to ensure that it can. Right now the whole dang city government knows what is going on. What happens next depends on how well I can "pitch" my side. I am a sales professional, so this comes easy. I just have a more interesting audience, and I'm not playing for commission this time.
If needed, I will get a lawyer. Right now, a little bit of relaxtion is good for the soul. I'm still pretty pissed, but I have a few more cards I haven't played.
I read in a book somewhere, that the favored weapon of the West was not the sixgun, but the lawsuit. I hope my carrying one will not lead to the other.
Thanks again for the solidarity and support. I look forward to a dinner meeting. I am wondering if we should invite a cop?
