beer ads on TV every 2 minutes, it's acceptable and encouraged, except if you get caught. Now, I am a criminal on par with Capone, Dillinger, The Rosenberg's. I had bad judgment, no question. I made a mistake. There was never a bit of mercy or consideration for one who has never been in trouble. Deals are made all the time but not for one as contemptible as me.
I saw first hand what Morrissey was talking about in Ganglord. The Cop was trying to bait me into
a fight at the police station. Calling me names and trying to give him an excuse to punch me. He grabbed my cell phone and started looking through it without my permission. What is it with these policemen? Wasn't it enough to just process me though, instead I had to be humiliated. Thank God I wasn't black or who knows what would have happened. I got just a tiny taste of what black folks go through and it was very bitter.
Hypocrisy seems to rule the roost in the criminal justice system. My case is all about fines and money. Everybody gets a piece of the pie. My lawyer heartily took my money and did nothing at all. He was so nervous at the preliminary hearing his hands were shaking. I should have just represented myself. He was silent as a proverbial mouse, scared of the prosecutor. It seems to me morality is generally imposed by the immoral. Do as I say, not as I do. We peons must adhere to it. The old adage absolute power corrupts absolutely certainly applies. The government can basically do what they want with no repercussions. Ask the nurse in Utah who refused to let a Cop draw blood on an unconscious patient. The Cop got mad and put her in handcuffs and detained her. The only way this saw the light of day was because there was video.
Sometimes there can be video and it doesn't matter. See Philando Castile and how he was murdered by a cop in Minneapolis just reaching for ID. There have been many other examples of innocent black men unnecessarily murdered. There are many good police but they are complicit if they allow the bad ones to keep going. There is a reason why a lot of people do not like or trust police.
Life goes on and this past year has been a living hell. There has been very little good news. One piece of good news is that Morrissey will be releasing a new album in November called Low In High-School. It's been quite a long time since his last release. I am looking forward to hearing some new music from Our Moz. His music makes living in this abysmal world somewhat tolerable.
As I attempt to rage against the dying of the light, the world grows dimmer each day with no relief in sight. Music from Morrissey is a beacon to those of us who do not fit into the Peyton Place world that we live in. I can only be different in my mind. In the outside world I must conform. I have decided there is a place they can't and will never get to, my mind.
