they tried to make me go to rehab

I said no no no...

persecution complex
The central belief of every moron is that he is the victim of a mysterious conspiracy against his common rights and true deserts. He ascribes all his failure to get on in the world, all of his congenital incapacity and damfoolishness, to the machinations of werewolves assembled in Wall Street, or some other such den of infamy. ”—H.L Mencken

is there a conspiracy among cops against certain citizens?...yes, it's called "law enforcement" and if you can't obey the laws that our society passed to maintain order, then you're gonna get bopped! but Lance and the News-Press can't shut up about their conspiracy theories...so Judge Brian Hill issued a gag order for good reasons..he didn't institute a "gag law" restricting freedom of the press as the News-Press claims..and what was the hurry getting this story out before Lance's trial? so Lance could try his case in the press before his trial ....

gag order
n. a judge's order prohibiting the attorneys and the parties to a pending lawsuit or criminal prosecution from talking to the media or the public about the case. The supposed intent is to prevent prejudice due to pre-trial publicity which would influence potential jurors. A gag order has the secondary purpose of preventing the lawyers from trying the case in the press and on television, and thus creating a public mood (which could get ugly) in favor of one party or the other.

and now ironically, thanks to the News-Press paranoia, any serious investigation of Officer Beutel will be impossible because of Lance and Wendy's recklessness..Beutel has already been found guilty in the News-Press, therefore cannot be treated fairly....neither Lance nor the News-Press filed a complaint against Beutel....instead they decided to try her in the paper before Lance's criminal trial....if you can't see through that smokescreen..you need some Visine...(thanks Dr. Laura for that line!!)

ok... so here's the list of characters Peter Lance uses to support his conspiracy theory that the SB cops are running around arresting innocent people ....

these are the people he wants us to believe

Mike Kenny..resisting arrest and previous DUI
John Thynne..DUI and violating probation
James Blanco.."handwriting expert" kicked out of his professional organization for ethics violations..settled the case but was not allowed to stay in the AAFS and was barred from suing them again....
Robe Roblinski....retired cop from the Isla Vista Foot Patrol....Robe is gay and wants to marry his boyfriend, but guys like the Rev Thomas James, another witness and homophobic man of the loin cloth, won't let him!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer...hey..how'd Buffy get on the list??
Taurino Torres..driving with an expired license and claiming that a temporary license was back at his house after Beutel arrested him...well, duh, why didn't he have the temp license on him..oh I see, another poor little ignorant dumb Mexican victim...PULEEEZE!!
Sarah McLachlan ...did this chick get busted for drunk driving? no, she just annoys me and should be in jail...I don't believe anything she sings
Cruzito Cruz..if you read the local online publications, Cruzito is everywhere writing long one-paragraph stories about his victimization by the cops....really, this guy is a jackass...he's been arrested nunerous times, resisted arrest, and according to the Daily Sound story, had an incident at O'Malley's Bar that escalated to violence when the bouncers said he was smoking dope in a pipe and tried to confiscate it..Cruz got violent and the "bouncer put pipe smoker in leghold until police arrived.."

Case Facts:

On Aug. 3, 2003, plaintiff Cruzito H. Cruz, 30, a youth counselor, was in J.J. O'Malley's Bar in Santa Barbara. While on the back patio, he lit a pipe and started smoking. Bouncer Seth Woodhill tried to stop Cruz from smoking, and a fight ensued. Woodhill ended up putting Cruz in a leghold for 15 minutes before the police arrived and took Cruz to jail, where he spent one night.
Claiming physical damages, Cruz sued O'Malley's and Woodhill for battery, false imprisonment, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Cruz claimed that he was smoking "ceremonial tobacco." He also claimed that Woodhill gave no warning before choking him until he lost consciousness.
Plaintiff's counsel claimed that O'Malley's was negligent in failing to properly train Woodhill.
Plaintiff's counsel also claimed that Cruz spent a night in jail due entirely to the negligence of O'Malley's and Woodhill.
The defense disputed the allegations, contending that Cruz was smoking marijuana.
The defense also contended that Woodhill warned Cruz before grabbing him, and that Woodhill acted reasonably at all moments.
Police witnesses testified that Cruz was belligerent, and that they had to use mace twice to subdue him.

Injury:
Cruz claimed soft-tissue injuries that he treated with chiropractic manipulations and massage therapy. He also claimed a lost tooth, lost consciousness and a burst blood vessel in an eye.
Cruz claimed about $15,000 in medical specials, adding an unspecified demand for pain and suffering.
Defense counsel disputed the treatment, saying that it was unnecessary as Cruz didn't start his therapy until about five months after the incident.

Verdict Information: The jury returned a defense verdict, finding that Woodhill did not intend to harm Cruz and that there was no unlawful touching.

ie, he lost the case....poor Cruzito, another victim of circumstances..all these guys are their own worst enemies!! and Lance forgot to include this info about Cruzito in his story!
as a taxpayer shelling out money for these silly trials, I demand these losers be locked up and throw away the key....bunch of little cry babies!

tomorrow..the trial of Peter Lance for DUI....let's keep our eye on the ball, people..Lance is hiding behind Wendy's skirt and her ex-husband's money running a fool's errand....which is what I'll be doing if I get to the court house on time!
