Help the Least of These, His Brethren
And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Doctor! Will Justice Live? Human Rights Viewed As Terrorism
Articles in this blog do not open in a new window. Please read all before opening links, or use your back arrow to return. There is an earlier draft of the article at my Google profile. However, I was not permitted by those who monitor and control my Internet input to make changes to the profile, so I entered the data in this blog. I was not allowed to add the two scriptures about lawyers (Luke 11:30 and 7:52). I do not know why the Google profile document is considered more damaging to the parties the outlaw censorship staff seek to protect than this blog. Perhaps it is because they change the taglines to blog posts at will and prevent them from being carried on the Internet. Last week, I noted that the censorship force had attacked my Google bookmark for the Jewish Virtual Library www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/. That title was removed and substituted with another. Since plans to erect camps and intern Americans were introduced in House Resolution 645 and mass quarantine was listed as a possible punishment for citizens who refuse H1N1 vaccines during a state-declared emergency in Massachusetts, I suppose the cyberstalkers do not want Americans reminded of what concentration camps were like for Jewish people. It is encouraging that the cyberstalkers do not want people to have a vivid remembrance of that. Maybe there is still some hope of avoiding that future. My writing is censored, and I must remain home due to stalkers assigned to do I don't know what when I leave home. See my ignored 911 police call report in the signature block of this blog. Make a donation if you are able.

Human Rights Advocacy Treated As Terrorism
Mine is the only American family in the 21st Century to have a member secretly arrested and returned as a corpse without any police accountability, arrest records, full autopsy report, and denied any investigation whatsoever. This was to have been done without Larry Neal's family protesting his death or even asking what happened. Because his survivors did both, we suffer persecution in the form of stalking, cyberterriosm, and censorship. See http://WrongfulDeathOfLarryNeal.com
Due process of law was denied regarding Larry Neal's demise in 2003. His death was swept under the rug. After seeing how little regard is given to the civil and human rights of acute mental patients and their families, I founded and direct Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill. It is an online organization with over 200 members who advocate removing the 1.25 million mentally dysfunctional people in prisons and jails to mental hospitals and community care, depending on their offenses and ability to survive outside a controlled environment. Other human rights organizations are also under cyberattack.
CYBERSTALKING PRESIDENT OBAMA'S HEALTH CARE PLAN eMAIL
President Obama sent an email informing people about his proposed national health care plan. On it he gave a link to pledge support, and he invited recipients to share the email with friends. I posted it at my Care2 Sharebook. I have videos to show that cyberstalkers pulled the link from the middle of the president's email to the bottom of the page (this is how they seem to delete data). Other changes were being made to the deocument as well - paragraphs were moved toward the bottom, likely to be deleted. I sent a copy of the doctored document to Sen. Webb, and it is still in my Sharebook. I also recorded the cyberattack on the president's email to the comments of an article I wrote concerning him at NowPublic.com and posted the doctored document. The entire bottom half of the president's email turned into a link before I pulled the plug on my modem, which seemed to end their connection to my Sharebook. I filmed the cyberstalking like I do in many cases, because some people prefer to think of the interference I have online as being glitches.
CYBERSTALKING ON USPRA
Treating the mentally ill instead of imprisoning them would hurt prison profiteers' profits. See an incident regarding US Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association (USPRA):
.
I notified USPRA that its link to an announcement for its suggested national health care insurance plan was not working on Facebook because spaces had been inserted. I found that the link had extra coding at the end when I removed the spaces and copied/pasted the link into my browser. Only after I removed the extra codes after the html. at the end of the link was I finally reached the organization's site. Then I discovered that although all the links within the site were blue and underlined, one important link for readers to support the organization's proposals was not actually a link at all - it was simply underlined, blue words. The person who published the document was apparently intended to be duped, and it worked until I reported the problem to the organization. Here is the URL. See the fake link in the final paragraph on page 2:
US Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association (USPRA)
.
AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE HELP FOR ALL HUMANITY Plan (or AHHH! for short).
http://www.uspra.org//files/public/Marcie's_response_to_healthcare_reform_bills.pdf
People are intended to believe that all such computer issues are "glitches," although that is far from the case. I have endured so much cyberstalking that I could give lectures on it - "Recognizing Cyberstalking 101."
When human rights groups and organizations get a response rate that is lower than anticipated for a large emailing project, it would behoove them to use a computer with a different URL to check all links. It is a good idea for human rights organizations to check their links periodically, anway. Months ago, I republished a copy of a mailing from President Obama regarding his proposed national health care plan. He had requested that recipients share the information on the plan with their friends. While I typed an introduction inviting my Care2 friends to read the president's letter, the link that was on his letter for people to pledge support for the health care plan was being removed from my Care2 Share. I captured evidence of the cyberstalking on video and wrote about it. It is one of the videos I will publish to demonstrate the attack against human rights that is underway.
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WHO QUESTION MURDER CONVICTIONS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION
Advocacy is discouraged regarding wrongful convictions, criminalizing mental illness, the death penalty, and other justice issues. Free speech suffers when one works for justice for convicted persons. Northwestern University is fighting an order to release information on the students who question murder convictions.
"In the previous decade, Medill students had uncovered some of the most high-profile wrongful convictions in the city. The class had worked to secure the release of 11 innocent prisoners, five of whom were scheduled to be executed . . . The students have raised questions about the murder conviction of Anthony McKinney. In response, the state attorney's office issued a subpoena for the students' grades, grading criteria, expense reports, syllabi and e-mail messages -- mine included," reports Nicole Lapin, of CNN. See the entire article at this link: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/11/06/lapin.wrongful.conviction/index.html?eref=rss_us
CYBERSTALKING AND IN-PERSON STALKING TO HIDE LARRY NEAL'S WRONGFUL DEATH COVERUP
.
Organizations and human rights ativists should take time to actually try to open some of their links that appear on the Internet to ensure they lead to the referenced work. Occasionally, my links on the Internet do not lead to the article referenced. A few times, the referenced artiles were actually deleted, parked with an Internet parking service, or the online links would not open. I found that on my "Naked Demonstration Planned to End Censorship," article, the URL led to another of my articles instead. "Naked Demonstration" had been covertly deleted.
Secondly, rganizations and activists should also post their contact information on the home page, because sometimes tabs are missing or not permitted to open, which happened when I accessed the Veterans Against Police Abuse website recently.
Third, copy the first page of all petitions periodically (at least once daily) to ensure that the numbers beside signatures have not slipped backwards, which indicates that some petitioners' signatures were removed.
.
I regret the attack on human and civil rights that is underway. Some of my earliest memories are of my brother, Larry, reciting great historical speeches. His favorites were the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America, the Gettysburg Address, and the Declaration of Independence. Because Larry was already sick since his case of mumps at age 8, he recited the speeches loud and repetitively.
I was six years younger than Larry. I wish you could hear how proudly he'd recite the Pledge of Allegiance. I wish I had it on tape. I heard so much about "liberty and justice for all" all my life from Larry's recitations at home, on television, and because I had to stand and recite the Pledge myself every school morning with one hand over my heart, that I was completely unprepared for the lack of justice that followed Larry's murder. I really thought it meant something. Don't laugh at my innocence.
When my grandmother took me every weekend to the bus depot for our trip to visit my aunt in Memphis, she never explained why she would clutch my arm tight and make me wait until others boarded the bus first - people who arrived long after we had. My grandmother liked to get there early and chat with the people at the counter and other passengers. By the time I was about 8, I figured out that the white people in town had better houses than the African Americans. But we did not talk about race in my house, so it was just something that I was aware about and had no ill-feelings attached.
We knew all the white families in town by name and history, and they knew all of us. They were Mr. Taylor at the grocery store, and Ms. MaryEllen, whose children my mom helped to raise. They were Ms. Ruth and Ms. Margaret, spinister sisters who always made us candy for Christmas. I was never taught to consider anyone as being better or worse. They just looked different and had more. I thought they liked me - I liked and respected them. This is not something happening just to my family. Apparently, there is some program against African Americans seeking justice, especially after deaths by police officers. Listen to Shawn Holley, an attorney who worked with the Johnnie Cochran Firm for 17 years until being terminated along with other black attorneys and staff in his LA office immediately after his demise:

People need DOG JUSTICE! http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/dog-justice-poem-and-petition-for-larry.html
I had no idea until Larry's death that black citizens were perceived as being expendable like Larry without explanation or investigation, although I was middle aged. Of course, I knew there was prejudice, but nothing on this scale. I don't think anyone in my family knew how bad the problem still is, and neither do people I speak with or they would not advise me to contact the media. They cannot seem to understand that Larry's wrongful death coverup is protected news. You would never have known about it except for his family's efforts to inform. Those who engineered the cover-up did not know that Larry was from a family of writers who keep journals and write short stories as a hobby, not for publication. Unlike others in the family, I did aspire to publish children's stories after retirement. What a morbid change it is to write about my brother's secret extermination and realization that my family members are perceived as having no worth, and certainly no inaleinable rights, in the country where we live. This is true althouogh numerous family members serve in the military or are veterans; some work as civil servants; and all human life deserves respect.
How was I to know when I called 911 when followed and accosted by four cars of men and a USDOT truck on September 27, 2008, that no police would respond during the hour my young grandson and I waited for a police rescue that never came? No one would have been able to convince me prior to Larry's extermination that I could have affidavits from business owners and guards where I worked attesting to my stalking, but no one would investigate the illegal acts intended to make me stop writing about Larry's extermination in Memphis Shelby County Jail and the elaborate cover-up facilitated by The Cochran Firm while it pretended (under contract) to be Larry's wrongful death attorneys.
For us, America the Beautiful has turned out to be like Nazi Germany. I now live under self-imposed house arrest for safety and write about our experiences like Anne Frank did. If we are ever attacked here, my writing serves as skin under our nails. But likely, that would not be investigated, either. It is back to slavery days for the Neals, or the 1940's when black men could be lynched with no questions asked or even allowed. I recently spoke about my worst stalking event during a radio interview with Rev. Pinkney, an African American minister who was imprisoned for quoting Deuteronomy 28, and he lived under court-ordered house arrest for 90-days after prison release. Listen to the interview below:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Rev-Pinkney/2009/10/11/MARY-NEAL-A-WARRIOR
I was a guest on the Rev. Pinkney blogtalk radio show on October 11, 2009. I placed the widget at this article, but cyberstalkers switched it with a Rev. Pinkney show where I was not interviewed. The link above should begin w/ Rev. Pinkney speaking of his house arrest (which ended on 10/16) and greeting the Pinkney family. I am brought online within a few minutes of that. On 10/31, I discovered cyberstalkers had switched the radio interview to one on which I was not a guest. My "sin" was asking what happened to Larry Neal and advocating for other mentally ill people behind bars. Why don't you commit that sin with me?
If you would like to join nearly a thousand other people who asked that the USDOJ investigate the secret arrest and wrongful death of a handicapped American, my brother Larry Neal, please email them at AskDOJ@USDOJ.gov and/or join the petitioners:
.
WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?
Petition http://www.petitiononline.com/Neal/petition.html
.
I am more censored than other human rights advocates in order to contain news of Larry's elimination and absence of just resolution, which was followed by intimidation and persecution to quiet his family. But it is certainly not limited to my advocacy to decriminalize mental illness. I have also witnessed evidence of other human rights organizations besides the two above being censored without their knowledge.
CYBERSTALKING RE: THOMAS ARTHUR'S DNA TEST RESULTS INDICATING INNOCENCE
My brother Ed graduated from high school when the Viet Nam War was underway. He volunteered and served in the Marines. Larry tried to enlist, but of course, he could not. My uncle used to talk to my brothers about his time in France during WWII. Some of my nephews are in Iraq now. We thought we were an American family. I guess that sounds silly. I thought the Pledge meant us, too. Frankly, I doubt if the Pledge applies to all white Americans, considering that Thomas Arthur is a white man on Alabama's death row months after his innocence was indicated by the DNA test results in July. The test results were promptly sealed by the court while plans to execute Arthur continued. That was kept out of the media, too. See the poll I published to announce his DNA results that are kept secret, just like my handicapped brother Larry's extermination was. After free speech and free press go, the rest of citizens' rights usually topple fast.
Should Thomas Arthur Be Executed for Telling a Fibb
http://www.votingcentral.com/VotingCentral/displayPoll.do?pollId=1236f80e-49c4-163d-b520-0cb9ffffffd4
I discovered that the title and the link to my Care2 News Network article about Arthur have been switched online (see it below). I suppose it means Arthur might still be executed since they are still hiding the article that broadcasts his DNA test results. I suppose if they can catch me away from home one day, my justice articles would just disappear instead of cyberstalkers limiting their exposure online. Perhaps Arthur would be executed the very next week. Who cares whether people in the slave class (people who exist on paychecks and fixed incomes rather than dividend checks) are innocent or guilty? The media still has not published Arthur's DNA test results, although his case got nearly as much publicity at one time as the Troy Davis case does now. Because Arthur's DNA test results were withheld and cyberdogs moved my story about his DNA not matching the crime scene evidence, things do not look good for Arthur.
A thousand people read the poll and the article at Care2 News Network. Please send it out to people. (The link is above.) Let everyone know about this man's DNA test results, and maybe the likely innocent man will not be executed. Arthur's daughter printed his actual DNA test results indicating his innocence at his blog. His lawyers cannot publish them because a judge sealed Arthur's results. If the DNA test results had indicated guilt . . .
See below how they matched my Care2 article about Arthur with a link about breast cancer! I often get ads about induced cancer and have received cyberthreats about it, also. Johnnie Cochran died of cancer soon after signing with his new partners.

endbreastcancer.care2.com/c2c/groups/disc.html?gpp=67...
*******************
I caught the above cyberstalking by typing "Thomas Arthur Poll" in my Google browser. The article has zero to do with breast cancer. Cyberdogs may move it from the Internet now. They sometimes fix things the way they should be when I report interferrence, but I work with cameras ready and made many films of the wrongdoing.
I also have evidence that the "www" in my Care2 online links was replaced in some posts with the word "primate." Instead of taking people to my Care2 article that the links reference, those links led to a picture of an large ape. I understand that is meant to be a racial slur. It only shows how prejudice and evil the cyberdogs are as well as those they serve. African Americans and whites who are not wealthy, like Thomas Arthur, should pray that those who are doing this are never in a position to make decisions about them. They have my 86-year-old mom and me trapped in our home, afraid to leave because of stalking and denial of police services.
CYBERSTALKING TO PREVENT MARY NEAL'S SUBSISTENCE
I put a PayPal at my blog for the public to help me continue to stay home with her and write about these matters, but they delete my taglines to keep people from finding my blog and seeing that we need help. They want to starve me out of the house to harm me, we believe. Police ignore me when I call for help. I write about Larry's murder, and it was supposed to be kept secret after The Cochran Firm Fraud. My mom and I are like gang rape victims who are inconvenient after the crime. The people who mistreated Larry and our legal case against the jail are so rich and powerful that it is preferable to dispose of us than to prosecute them or enforce the law and have The Cochran Firm pay its just damages for defrauding us after Larry's death - merely holding the case against the jail that killed Larry 10.5 months totally inactive while pretending to be working in our behalf. When we sued, The Cochran Firm said it had no office in Georgia and that our suit was therefore served wrongly. It was served to the Atlanta office of the firm, but the court dismissed our case, saying there was no Cochran Firm office at all in Georgia. The commercials never stopped, and the law firm never stopped answering the phone, "Cochran Firm."
There was no need to even pretend to tell the truth, because an African American family of military men, civil servants, and taxpayers is "immaterial." The secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal did not get the attention given to dog abuse in the country where he was a citizen - and it still has not. Tell me, where do you stand here? Have you got your "inalienable rights" on tight enough?
MAINSTREAM MEDIA BLACKOUT
Certain news is blacked out of the media. I don't know who determined that Larry's death was to be a secret, but folks follow and accost me because I chose to write about it myself when I saw the media would not. That is why it is important to check alternative news sources - independent news, group mail, and stay close to the Lord, because He leads His children through His Holy Spirit.
See the short web page at the link below, and use the DOCUMENTS tab to access court documents and other proof for the allegations I make.
MEDIA BLACKOUT RE: COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD
http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com/story/story07.html
My justice quest started out to be about Larry's wrongful death lawsuit against the jail where he was secretly arrested to prevent his access to life-saving heart meds. But along the way, I learned that many other people - black and white, young and old - are also in need of DOG JUSTICE. I wrote a little poem about it:
Rabbit's Hole, by Mary Neal
Stumbled down a rabbit hole
Thought therein I would find gold
Instead, found people needing help
From cruel dungeons where they are kept
(all rights reserved)
The Cochran Firm Fraud is a disappointment to me on many levels. It was harder for me to give up my ideals about this country than to accept Larry's death. Because he died under secret arrest in Memphis Shelby County Jail, I thought something would be done about that crime, but it does not look as though that will happen. I remain amazed that pit bulls' deaths are investigated, but not a handicapped American's. Apparently, accountability is conditional on who might be found to be accountable.
INALIENABLE RIGHTS DENIED
During the last few years, I learned that our "inalienable rights" are really quite alienable. I found there are 1.25 million sick inmates like Larry who are criminalized for a handicap they did not ask for and cannot change. I discovered there are also innocent prisoners of all races who are deprived of a chance to prove their innocence through DNA tests or new trials because advanced testing methods or their evidence of innocence arrived after conviction - too late. Numerous innocent inmates and their families discovered the truth about "inalienable rights" before and since I did.
Human rights are not respected as they should be in the U.S.A. Perhaps they never were as much as I thought, but I believe it is worse now than years ago. I am not sure. Knowing the lack as I do, I am therefore concerned about H1N1 vaccines' safety and especially now that authorities in Massachusetts wrote a Marshal Law Bill to enforce vaccines at the threat of FEMA camp internment. It is disturbing to read offers by people who comment on news articles, saying they can help residents leave the country before it is "too late." I never anticipated seeing such videos or reading any such suggestions.
Over the last few years, I tried to remind people of what America is intended to be - in my own mind, anyway. I thought we could work on improving things together and move closer to justice - together, like every generation before us. I don't know if I believe that any longer. It indeed seems hopeless if handicapped people can be murdered and no one in any position of authority lifts a finger to apply due process. It seems useless if I can be stalked for asking what happened to Larry and not many people have enough nerve or concern to stand with my family. We thank all those who did and do stand. Many others who would be supportive are not permitted to receive our news because the Internet is on lockdown. Television went digital and can be turned off any time, and even Americans' phones operate off satellite. Someone could pull the plug on all communication at a whim.
If I seem paranoid, look at our court files and you will know why. See my article on my ignored 911 call for the link to our federal lawsuit against The Cochran Firm and several more deaths and abuses to other "unacceptably different people" like Larry that occurred in Memphis after Larry's death. It is outragious to have a handicapped realtive secretly arrested, returned naked and dead with no questions allowed. It is unimaginable to sue a famous, well advertised law firm for fraud and have it go to court and claim nonexistence - and win! It was incredible to watch that same law firm on televison undertake representing another family of African Americans who lost a family member to police violence just six months later - also in the State of Georgia, where it does not "exist." The Cochran Firm "represented" Ms. Kathryn Johnston's survivors, also. The 92-year-old police murder victim's survivors received no damages yet, either.
Perhaps most people already knew the truth about citizens' rights but only pretended to think otherwise. When the time really comes to stand and claim so-called "inalienable rights" for oneself or another American, knees get weak and strong voices whisper. Maybe it has always been that way and I was deceived. It is hard to judge. Larry's secret arrest and elimination, my family's denial of due process, stalking, and ongoing censorship to hide his death, as well as the uncensured lawyer fraud that followed, make me realize this country is very different from what I was taught and believed. It feels like the Matrix.
.
CYBERSTALKING AGAINST AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL'S SOUTHERN
REGIONAL CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT
My final example of censorship regards Amnesty International. Around 3:30 a.m. on October 29, I published news at Care2 News Network that Amnesty International planned its Southern Regional Conference to be held in Atlanta on October 30 - November 1. The Care2 News Network article is at the link below. It has very few notes because it was not allowed to go on Care2's normal lineup of articles. The eCards I sent to 200 individuals and groups with the link arrived in addressees' mailboxes empty. The ecards were stripped of the link that would take them to Amnesty's conference announcement. This also happened on September 1 when I sent eCards announcing Thomas Arthur's DNA test results. See the excerpt on Care2 News Network below:
Care2 News Network Announcement of Amnesty International's Atlanta Conference
http://www.care2.com/news/member/513396753/1289391
The Amnesty International Group on Care2 has approximately 40,000 members, many of whom live around or in the conference area. Therefore, after publishing the news, I posted the organization's announcement at Care2's AI Group and at Town Crier Group. Because of the low number of notes my announcement received on Care2 News Network, I do not know if the postings actually published. Sometimes when I post at Care2 and other networks, the only place the posting shows is at my own PC. I have to use two computers to see what actually shows on the Internet. On one, I log on as a network member, but not on the other PC. The second computer lets me know if my member posts actually publish.
THE LINK BELOW SHOWS THE STORIES IN CARE2'S "NEWLY SUBMITTED" lineup. My Amnesty article should have appeared on Care2 News Network's "newly submitted" list, but it did not. Amnesty International is so popular with Care2 members that many of them would have noted the news about the Southern Regional Conference and the article might have gone to Care2 News Network's front page. The conference might have gotten more support than the cyberstalkers wanted AI to have.
http://www.care2.com/news/submitted/?page=5&display=recent
This link is the Care2 ecard as it went out to addressees - stripped of its data about Amnesty's conference and the link for them to reach Care2 News Network. I filmed myself preparing and sending the ecards, but the justice system is such that one probably cannot expect any justice about such censorship: http://www.care2.com/send/preview/1301-34962-25290-3854
AI's conference announcement was buried on the network that CARES.
CYBERSTALKING TO PREVENT ADVOCACY TO DECRIMINALIZE MENTAL ILLNESS
In the Care2 ecards that were stripped of data, I also had asked people to please help Jeremy Smith. He is another acute mental patient wrongly imprisoned for mental illness. The link to his petition is below.
.
Justice 4 Jeremy Petition - Lifelong Schizophrenic Man in CA Prison Hole http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/JusticeForJeremy
Smith is a young man who faces the possibility that California may add time to his prison sentence for talking back to a prison guard - making a "terrorist threat." Who can be terrorized by a sick young man who is already bound in prison in the "hole"? Like Larry, Jeremy was also schizophrenic from childhood. Additionally, Jeremy has a low IQ indicating retardation. He has been in solitary confinement for years just for hitting another mental patient at a hospital. I hoped to help people like Jeremy be hospitalized or receive mandated treatment and subsistence in their communities. "Let the mentally ill out of prisons," I said. Instead, it appears that many more who are equally innocent might soon be joining Jeremy, instead. While some advocate for prison reform and reducing America's high incarceration rate (the largest in world history), others in positions of power plan to erect FEMA camps capable of holding many more prisoners. It is discouraging.
In the 1800's, Dorothea Dix decriminalized mental illness in a country where people did not make money from incarcerating the least among us, His brethren. Now, California taxpayers may be forced to pay for Jeremy and/or others to serve life in prison for making "terrorist threats" in a three-strikes state. Like other schizophrenics, Jeremy often acts irrationally, so I don't doubt that he said something during a period of lunacy that he should not have said. All it takes to lengthen sentences for America's acute mental patients is to deprive them of meds or change their dosage or prescriptions. Many chronic mental patients eventually do something that is worthy of arrest, or if already incarcerated, they act contrary to prison rules and are banished to the "hole" - out of the way.
.
HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCACY TREATED AS TERRORISM
My RSS feed was also stopped on Care2, and my appeals to the HelpDesk are ignored. I have no "reply all" button for my email box there, which limits my ability to communicate with more than one person at a time, but the network will not respond to my requests about it. Many of the Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill (AIMI) members report interference trying to post news and comments about criminalizing mental illness at AIMI. One woman reported that after she joined AIMI, her URL was on a "watch list," and her police friends could not open emails she sent to them. They told her the notice on her emails said the message came from someone who might be a member of a "terrorist group." After that, I received daemon mail messages with the words "Whitelisted" as the reason for their return. This may be done in part to discourage AIMI members from being as active in the advocacy for decriminalizing mental illness as they would. Very active AIMI members have as much trouble posting to the group discussions as I do, and several had repeated computer issues immediately after joining and posting news about our subject matter. I have replaced six computers or had wipe-cleans done within the past year.
As the director of Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill, I admonish people to do only two things to decriminalize mental illness in America: 1) pray that God will move the hearts of our legislators to care about people more; and 2) write to representatives to support decriminalizing mental illness. Praying and lobbying elected officials are solutions that worked for Dorothea Dix, the Sunday school teacher who reduced the number of mentally ill inmates to .07% before her retirement in the 1800's. But praying and asking for CHANGE in the 21st century are classified as terrorism. I am the one who lives in terror just knowing that America has become a country where contacting leaders and praying are viewed as threats and a place where a citizen can be secretly arrested and returned dead with no explanation given.
TRUTH AND JUSTICE TERRORIZE SOME PEOPLE. WE ADVOCATE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS AND COMPASSION FOR SICK PEOPLE IN PRISON. WHY WOULD THAT TERRORIZE ANYONE? EVERYTHING ON OUR SITE IS OPEN TO PUBLIC VIEW. EVEN MY PERSONAL EMAIL BOX IS MONITORED AND OPEN TO SOME PEOPLE'S VIEW. WHERE IS THE TERRORISM? I AM A CHRISTIAN DOING THE WILL OF GOD ACCORDING TO HEBREWS 13:3 AND MATTHEW 25:40. PLEASE DON'T KEEP MENTAL PATIENTS IN DARK 6'x9' CELLS, NAKED AND CHAINED. PLEASE SEND THEM TO HOSPITALS FOR TREATMENT OR CARE FOR THEM IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. THAT IS OUR ONLY MESSAGE. WHERE IS THE TERROR? THAT ONLY TERRORIZES PRISON PROFITEERS WHO SHOULD RE-INVEST IN SOMETHING HUMANE LIKE HOSPITALS AND CLINICS.
If people are not alarmed at the continuing loss of rights for the sake of security first from terrorists and now from H1N1 virus, they should be. People may feel far superior to a sick African American man like my brother, but a nation's moral fabric can be determined not by how the highest and richest are treated, but by how the people perceived to be least are treated. In case any of you did not know it, you live where a sick man was killed for being a nuisance who sang too loud, and no one will address it except to persecute and threaten his elderly mom and sister for asking WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL. An injustice anywhere is an affront to justice everywhere - Martin Luther King, Jr.
In a country where secret arrest and extermination of private citizens was unheard of, first, they came for Larry Neal . . .
The state of justice is critical.

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him. ~Luke 7:30
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. ~Luke 11:52
There was a time when my writing about the censorship at Google or to online friends made a difference. The censorship force would often remedy whatever problems they had caused. They are much bolder now. That may be significant, and not in a good way. Nevertheless, in God we trust.
The Bible says: "She hath done what she could." Mark 14:8
I have reported to authorities and to We the People how things are now. It may be a long time before I am this active online again. I may watch my work and review emails. My computers have their mics open within a short time after I bring another computer home. No one in the household opened it or can close it. I change the language feature to something obscure, and it gets changed back to English. I prefer privacy, although that, too, may be an illusion that is fast fading. At least if I am offline in my home, cyberstalkers will not be able to use the mic feature to know when I am leaving home. The last time this happened was two months ago when three cars followed my sister and me to my daughter's house a few blocks away. I grow weary of cyberstalkers and in-person terrorists who are sent to persecute my family for making inquiries about the secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal. We are denied any official effort to curb same. It only grows bolder. I made videos of real-time cyberstalking to notify the public where we really are regarding human and civil rights, especially the Bill of Rights. I pray that you don't oversleep. It's KoffieTime!
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27
Blessings!

Stressed-out Robber Prays with His Victim
This blog does not open links in a new window. Please read all before using the links or use your back arrow to return. Thanks!
Sometimes, life veers far away from our chosen course. Stress that results when this happens causes some people to act out of character. However, temporary insanity defenses are seldom used because they seldom work. Consider the desperate gunman who prayed with the frightened clerk he robbed at a check-cashing business before finishing the robbery, then later surrendered. He was reportedly an unemployed veteran.
AP - 10/21/09 - INDIANAPOLIS - Police say an armed robber spent nearly 10 minutes on his knees praying with a clerk at an Indianapolis check-cashing business before fleeing with $20 from the register.
Security video from the Advance America branch clearly showed the man's face during the stickup Monday, and a 23-year-old surrendered Tuesday on a preliminary charge of robbery.
Police say the robbery took an unusual turn after the gunman came around the counter when the clerk starting crying and talking about God.
The man said he had a 2-year-old child to support and asked for prayers about overcoming his hardships.
Police say the man removed the bullet from his gun and gave it to the clerk before taking her cell phone and the money.

**********************************
Desperate people sometimes do desperate things in desperate times. We must always strive to keep our balance, even when suffering hardships. The young robber now faces the possibility of a lengthy prison term, which certainly did not help his family who he was so anxious about. When one finds oneself considering crimes or violence to self or others as an answer to problems, that when it is important to get professional help. Nothing positive comes from applying negative solutions to hardships.
.
The article above does not give full information on the robber, but it would not be surprising to learn that he had no previous criminal history. Hopefully, the court will consider that the man was suffering from an overload of stress and that he did not hurt anyone. Everyone connected to the case is traumatized, including the clerk who underwent the terrifying experience. I know what it is like to have my safety threatened. Please see the article at the link below about my worst stalking experience since trying to get justice for the secret arrest and wrongful death of my mentally and physically ill brother, Larry Neal. It includes the actual police report I filed, but no case number was assigned and no investigation ensured:

Regardless of the negatives we encounter, it is usually within our power to FOCUS ON POSITIVES. Many philosophers, sociologists, psychologists and others have excellent advice to offer regarding keeping a positive outlook. A favorite quote about this is below:
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. ~Philippians 4:8
The Jackson's recorded a video that reminds one to focus on the GOOD TIMES! If there is little happening at present to make us smile, let us reflect on happier times and recognize that life is full of hills and valleys. The next hilltop experience may be closer than we think. The vast majority of things people worry about never happen, and some of our most precious memories were surprises we did not engineer. As the character Forest Gump said, "Life is like a box of chocolates."
GOOD TIMES, by The Jackson Five
Balance is important. There is a time to grieve, and we should allow ourselves room to feel disappointment and seek help if grief or feelings of despair threaten to overtake us. But there is also a time to cast off our gloom and find something to rejoice about. When you fall, when you lose, when someone leaves your life through death or a failed relationship, allow yourself time to feel sad, but always pick yourself up again! Like Forest, grab another chocolate and see what is inside!
Helping others is a very good way to shift the focus from one's own problems. I write about injustices as a way to help people who need exposure to their victimization. See the list of articles on the left side of http://www.freespeakblog.blogspot.com/ But I also write about the positive things that are happening in the area of justice, and there are many! We must accept that there are positives and negatives in life, and some are out of our control. We change what we can, and learn to adjust to what we cannot change immediately. It is best never try to handle everything yourself, which can easily lead to feelings of being overwhelmed. One can shift a rock, but it takes more than one to push a boulder. With your help, we will continue to advocate for treatment to replace prisons for acute mental patients (as inpatients or outpatients, depending on their offenses and level of ability to cope in society) who need help pushing the boulders in their lives. No one should be punished for having a disability.
Today, there are approximately 1.25 million mentally ill people incarcerated in America. Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill and I would welcome your support in the handy Donations Appreciated button on the upper left side of my the blog. Your assistance informing others about the critical need to deliver our most vulnerable citizens from prisons and into treatment facilities or community care programs can be accomplished easily by using the ADD THIS button. The good news is that advocacy helps. More mental health courts and drug courts are used now to divert people from incarceration into treatment programs that help break the cycle of recidivism and reduce cost to taxpayers. Jail diversion programs offer the hope of a return to wholesome living for program participants. The success rate for assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) programs is high. Kendra's Law (mandated treatment plus subsistence assistance) was responsible for around 90% reduction in homelessness, imprisonment, and hospitalization among New York participants compared to their experiences three years prior to joining the program. AOTs should be applied to save lives and reduce crime and the prison budget across the nation.
Success stories like the Kendra's Law program results help one's outlook considerably. Numerous injustices that prisoner activists, human rights advocates, and the general public write elected officials about and sign petitions to change are answered with a positive outcome, but that news gets less coverage than when a victim is subjected to police violence, discrimination is uncovered, etc. Positives deserve equal attention. For instance, you may wonder months from now what happened regarding the desperate young robber and his family and victim in this article. With the increased use of jail diversion programs, there may be a slim possibility that the young robber could get the psychological and other help he needs instead of being imprisoned for years. In fact, there are new provisions specifically made to assist veterans of recent conflicts who become entangled with the law.

The following link is to one of my favorite videos. People of different races, nationalities, and ages are dancing together, sharing music and fun - armed only with string instruments to make a joyful noise! Strife can upset one's balance as much as the financial trouble faced by the hapless robber in the account above. As people learn to respect each other despite differences in opinions, races, cultures, and across socio-economic lines, there is a corresponding lessening of tension. This can only happen throughout society when the human rights and civil rights of all people are equally protected. There was a time when the notion of African Americans and Caucasians sharing a seat on public transportation was considered absurd by many people. It took enforcement of anti-discrimination laws to make it a commonly accepted practice. Equal justice for disenfranchised people in the justice system regarding both criminal and civil law, mental patients, wrongly accused defendants, and others, is another radical change that can never happen unless and until members of society and governmental systems prioritize it.

Voting Central, Why Omit My Polls re H1N1 Town Hall Meetings?
Links do not open in a new window at this blog. Please open links after reading all or use your back arrow to return to the blog.
VOTING CENTRAL, I NOTE THAT MY POLLS ARE SKIPPED IN THE TWEETS YOU SEND. IS THERE SOME REASON WHY I AM GIVEN MEMBERSHIP BUT DENIED THE FULL USAGE? Denial of full service on Internet sites to which I have membership happens to me quite often. Did someone tell you to skip my polls? I am greatly censored because my family are victims of the only secret jail death of a citizen in the USA for whom no records or explanation was given. Therefore, I am being censored while people wait to catch me when I leave home. See http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com/
I am copying the DOJ, because this seems to be an infringement on my First Amendment rights to freedom of press and it happens often - I request they find out what is behind this omission by Voting Central and others. If my First Amendment rights are gone, I should have been told and given a reason. Since Voting Central has other polls regarding H1N1, it cannot be that the subject of my polls asking (1) do Americans feel we need town hall meetings; and (2) should any country have a special serum for dignitaries and the military. Right?
See this article:
Mary Neal finally Heard from Police re: 911 emergency call
http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/mary-neal-finally-heard-from-police-re.html
Furthermore, I am unable to access Voting Central at all today. Are you having technical difficulties, or is my URL having techincal difficulties reaching you? My two polls you omitted carrying on Twitter are in this article:
Will H1N1 End Freedom in America?
http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/will-h1n1-end-freedom-in-america.html
Hopefully, our officials who conducted town hall meetings about other health care matters would not mind meeting with constituents about H1N1 vaccines, particularly since Massachusetts already issued a Marshal Law Bill on October 13 and President Obama declared the U.S. as being in a state of emergency on Oct. 24. Many people are very concerned about the possibility of enforced vaccines and the threat of FEMA camp internment and/or $1,000/day fines that are provided for in the Massachusetts Marshal Law Bill (in the event an emergency is called in that state). I await your response as to what was so objectionable about my polls that they were omitted from your tweets, Voting Central. If it was not my polls that were offensive, then please tell me who instructs Internet sites to omit the news and views I publish. I feel strongly that were it not for my prolific publishing, harm would have already come to me or another member of Larry Neal's immediately family, as we live under threat for asking WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL.
Below are the Voting Central Polls from Oct. 23 to Oct 11, and mine are both omitted that published after the Massachusetts Martial Law Bill passed on Oct. 13. Why are mine omitted?

Mary Neal Finally Heard From Police Re 911 Emergency Call When Waylaid
FOREWORD: People are quite serious about hiding secret jail deaths and abuses. A large municipal area has apparently decided that some citizens are too "unacceptably different" to live - chronic mental patients and people in the GLBT community. Therefore, they are subjected to arrest (even secret arrest), abuse, and death. This information is protected in mainstream news, ignored by authorities, and if families of the abuse and murder victims complain, they suffer persecution and endangerment. The actual police report regarding my worst stalking event and twenty-two (22) links are this blog. Also, please see below my EMPTY CHAIR AT CHRISTMAS poem about our Holidays without Larry Neal, my brother who went "missing" but was actually under secret arrest until death. At the end are my Cochran Firm Fraud videos - two of them. I report the contents of this blog because cyberstalkers sometimes delete (or render invisible) portions they consider most damaging. If you think it cannot be done, remember the rocket shot through the moon recently and ask a savvy computer tech. Please visit over 170 other articles I also published at http://NowPublic.com/duo - Links herein do not open in a separate window. Please read all before opening links, or use your back arrow to return. YOUR help to continue giving Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill is urgently needed. Secret arrests and murders of mental patients and people in the GLBT community must not be tolerated. Thanks!
December 2008 - I feel it promotes security to keep the public informed as my family continues our justice quest regarding the secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal in Memphis/Shelby County Jail, so this is the latest installment. I discussed my most frightening stalking event during an interview on the Rev. Pinkney Blogtalk Radio show on October 11, 2009 at this link: MARY NEAL, A WARRIOR http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rev-pinkney/2009/10/11/mary-neal-a-warrior - Although we had numerous other stalking episodes (online and in person), September 27, 2008 remains the most frightening because of the USDOT truck leading other vehicles.
THE POLICE REPORT FOLLOWS THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION BELOW.
September 27, 2008 was indeed a dog night. Interesting news events unfolded about a month after my Chevron ordeal regarding abuses to inmates in county jails. Secondly, Duanna Johnson, who was to become a litigant against Memphis Shelby County Jail, was murdered execution style on November 9, 2008, just weeks after my grandson and I escaped the stalkers at Chevron. Johnson was a transgender person who was beaten in the jail's intake area, and a videotape of her beating was broadcast worldwide. I tried to make contact with Johnson through GLBT online sites where I left warnings about the potential for danger her lawsuit might present and the stalking I endured; however, she never responded. I was disturbed because when I called Johnson's lawyers' office in June when the video of her beating at the jail was released, I learned that Julian Bolton worked with her attorneys. Bolton was the 20+year Shelby County Commissioner who created the conflict of interest in my family's never-filed wrongful death of Larry Neal lawsuit against the jail where Johnson was assaulted. Bolton was the managing partner of The Cochran Firm's Memphis office when the law firm contracted with my family although the Shelby County Commission owns and operates the jail where Larry died and where Johnson was beaten.
The Cochran Firm defrauded our family by pretending to prepare Larry's wrongful death case for court while it actually did ZERO but lied to Larry's survivors about legal work being done for 10.5 months. Duanna Johnson's lawsuit was never filed, either. When she was murdered in November, her time was running out to file suit in Tennessee, which has only a 12-month statute of limitations for such complaints as Johnson's beating and Larry's wrongful death.
At least three recent federal lawsuits involving death and abuses of mental patients did get filed against Memphis police and/or Shelby County Jail after The Cochran Firm Fraud in Larry's case (Larry died in 2003, and the other three mental patients' lawsuits were filed in 2006 ). There may be others, but not all incarcerated mental patients have family members who would know about or care enough about their abuse or deaths to file suit. Some people consider GLBT people as being mentally ill, also. That could be why Johnson's abuse was tolerated by all the police in the intake area on the video at the link below, and her injuries were ignored by the nurse who can be seen attending to the officer's hand which he claimed to have injured while beating Johnson. The former policeman later threatened to sue for his "on-the-job injury."
Unfortunately, the attorney who filed lawsuits for the three dead or badly abused mental patients reportedly had a heart attack after filing the suits, and their civil actions stalled. Lawsuits for abuse and deaths of "unacceptably different" people in Memphis like Duanna Johnson, Larry Neal, and other victims, encounter bad luck.

Duanna Johnson's Beatdown by Memphis Police (See the VIDEO near the middle of the webpage)
See raw footage of the police brutality and Ms. Johnson's interviews:

Footage of Duanna Johnson's beating in the intake area of Shelby County Jail is removed from every site for which I post the link. I was disappointed to note that even the website for "LGBT Hate Crimes" removed the video of Johnson's brutal beating, but I suppose money talks. See the former home of the video at this link. http://www.lgbthatecrimes.org/doku.php/duanna-johnson . Sellouts are more common than one would think.
Like many chronic mental patients, Larry was released in the early 1970's from the mental hospital where he had been an inpatient for two decades. Subsequent to that, Larry was frequently arrested for conduct that related to his mental condition: paranoid schizophrenia. He was denied readmittance for long-term inpatient care, but Larry was admitted from time to time for crisis intervention when he suffered from heightened delusional episodes. Larry also was hospitalized many times in the last few years of this life for his bad heart as well as for pneumonia and other respiratory problems. He faced declining health because he did not know how to dress appropriately for the weather, and he usually walked many miles each day. Unfortunately, Larry's family was not legally allowed to restrict his movements, and the care homes where he was placed also placed no restrictions on Larry's autonomy.
When Larry's family asked that he be readmitted to the mental hospital as an inpatient in order to save him from repeated arrests and declining health, the requests were refused. On August 1, 2003, Larry died in Memphis Shelby County Jail while being held under a secret arrest that lasted for weeks while his family and social worker searched for the mentally ill heart patient as a missing person. During that time, the jail repeatedly denied having Larry incarcerated. Police were simply sick of "fooling with Larry Neal," as a relative had been warned a couple of weeks prior to Larry's "disappearance."
My family's justice quest is intended to ascertain information and accountability about Larry's secret arrest and demise and to hold The Cochran Firm responsible for its fraud as our wrongful death attorneys in the matter. Investigative help from the USDOJ, which was in overview of Shelby County Jail in 2003, is denied Larry's family. Discovering that my family is deemed undeserving of the investigative effort of Michael Vick's dead dogs is why dogs became the symbol of our justice quest.

Since I am still uncomfortable driving after my experience of September 27, 2008, when I was accosted by four cars and the US DOT truck and 911 did not respond to my emergency call, this will be the first Christmas ever when I will not get out to the malls and enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of Christmas with my family. It simply takes all the joy out of going places when one has to beware of who is driving nearby and observe how long the same car has been trailing. However, I certainly hope all of the administrators and members of NowPublic and our readers have the merriest of times throughout my favorite holiday season.

On September 26, 2008, FourWinds and NowPublic.com published my announcement that videos would be released to expose The Cochran Firm Fraud. We hoped to save other families from being defrauded by a law firm that had a widely-advertised Atlanta, Georgia office, but managed to have itself declared nonexistent in Georgia Superior Court. (Our videos did not save survivors of 82-year-old Atlanta police murder victim, Kathryn Johnston, however. Many African Americans still do not use computers where I have published information about this, and mainstream media blacks out news of The Cochran Firm Fraud. The media's failure to report that the major law firm declared its prolifically advertised Atlanta office nonexistent to dodge standing against my family's fraud lawsuit in court while its commercials continued should be a matter of concern for all people and cause one to wonder what other news events might be similarly withheld from the public. What else might we be uninformed or misinformed about, and who decides what news gets published in America? According to former Cochran Firm attorney, Shawn Holley, after Johnnie Cochran became terminally ill, the firm turned racist and embarked on a program of delivering its minority clients substandard legal services. Google for her NPR interview online for related news and listen at this link www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=12171473 ) My worst stalking experience happened the next time I left home after The Cochran Firm Fraud video announcement was published. Before then, my stalkers' intentions seemed to be intimidation. All year they left me alone whenever relatives came to help or when I pulled into a crowded business lot. After announcing the videos would be released, that changed.
December 2008 - I finally heard from DeKalb County, Georgia Police Department regarding the night my grandson and I were followed by numerous vehicles and sought cover at the neighborhood Chevron station. As I reported in a previous story, I wrote to my representative, Congressman Hank Johnson, about the drama and my apparently being on a "no-response list" for 911 emergency services. Congressman Johnson asked Chief Bolton to look into the matter, and subsequently, Major Conroy recently called me and looked up the police record. He reported that my distress call was placed to the DeKalb County 911 operator at 10:18 p.m. and that police arrived at 11:11 p.m. to the Chevron station where my grandson and I sought cover that very memorable night.
That was apparently after my son-in-law arrived at Chevron and my Nissan was sandwiched between his car in front of me and my niece's car directly behind me, and we all drove away, sticking close to each other's bumpers for security. We hoped that whatever the men who followed me into the Chevron station planned would not include taking out three cars of people, including two little children.
My niece had actually arrived to rescue me about 20 minutes before my son-in-law, but it turned out that we needed more help leaving the Chevron station after waiting for the police who never arrived, while those cars just sat and facing the service station - part of the time with their motors running and headlights on and men walking around looking at us talking on cell phones. When my niece and I started out of the drive to the street, the US DOT truck came directly behind my car. That is why I signaled my niece to not leave and we re-parked. Of course, so did the US DOT truck and the other vehicles. After that, we all sat there until my son-in-law arrived, and they let us go - apparently aborting the mission, whatever it was. Whew! If you think smoking takes years off one's life, try living through an ordeal like that!
I asked Major Conroy why the police officer who allegedly responded an hour after I placed the emergency call did not at least call my home to ensure I was OK when the officer finally got to Chevron and found I was gone. Major Conroy responded that the number I gave the 911 operator was the store number where I used the phone to call for help. I seem to remember giving my address to the 911 operator also, so I placed an order for the 911 tape.
Frankly, I don't know which was worse about September 27: being followed and accosted at the Chevron station, or believing the police were not interested in helping my six-year-old grandson and me. Looking back, I believe seeing the US DOT truck on my bumper as my niece and I tried to leave Chevron and watching the truck re-park when we did was the most scary thing I ever experienced while awake, because of the implications.
It was not until more recent events in the news that I began to have a clearer understanding of the possibilities of why this truck followed me. Dogs never were a more apt symbol than yours truly on September 27. I felt completely dogged out by everyone in government, and the idea still completely blows me away every time I think of it. The following link has some familiar phrases that include the word "dogs" and their origins: http://www.phrases.org.uk/search.html?cx=partner-pub-1661211094230592%3A7u5dot-xy7q&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=like+a+dog&sa=Search#1132
Some citizens are indeed treated worse than dogs. Larry Neal's relatives are certainly treated worse than Michael Vick's dogs.
Note: Bracketed data was not in my original police report but was added to make it easier for you to realize what we face. Major Conroy called me over two months after my seige at Chevron, after I reported to Congressman Johnson that DeKalb County Police ignored my endangerment. No investigation ensued, and no official ever asked for license numbers of those who stalk me and followed other members of Larry Neal's family.
Major Conroy, attached is the completed tape request and a report on the stalking incident and others like it. I would appreciate any follow-up the police are willing to do to bring an end to my harassment and endangerment. Below are helpful links that may have pertinent information. However, I have no proof at this time that my being stalked is actually connected to my lawsuit against The Cochran Firm for fraud, unless you count the fact that Cochran Firm attorney Angela Mason knew exactly what color the vehicle was that followed me from work each night in January and February [and she reported it to USDC in a pleading she filed in our federal lawsuit against The Cochran Firm. I had NEVER told anyone the color of the vehicle. Because I read detective novels, I was aware that police always withhold some bits of vital information about crimes in order to see who will give himself away. It seems to work. See a few of our affidavits in our case. We have other witness statements, as well, that we expected to present to our jury, but our case was dismissed instead. Pleadings are public and available to those with a free USDC PACER account. See docket no. 22, final paragraph: http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-gandce/case_no-1:2007cv01935/case_id-145173/ ]
.
Please let me know if you have any problems opening or reading the document attached. It should be six pages. Let me know if there is anything or any investigative effort applied to my harassment.
Thank you for your follow-up, Major. I appreciate any attention you give this matter.

All persons requesting a 911 recording should submit the request in writing, pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, pursuant to the Georgia Code, 50-18-70. Acknowledgement or Response to your request shall be sent to you within three (3) business days (Georgia Code 50-18-70 (f)).
The request should include the following:
Your name, address, contact number and fax number (if available)
______________________________________
Regular phone no. 770.651.8413 [added 770.559.4690 in 2009]
The date and approximate time of the incident: 10:18 p.m. on September 27, 2008, according to police records as relayed by Major Conroy, of DeKalb County Police.
Brief description of the incident: I have been regularly followed and stalked by parties unknown since successfully serving suit to The Cochran Firm in its Dothan, AL office, Memphis, TN office, and to David McLaughlin, our assigned attorney regarding plaintiffs’ allegations outlined at the website http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com/ .
I wrote thousands of people about being stalked home from work at night as I depart the Atlantic Center Building at 1201 West Peachtree St., Atlanta, GA. Guards who work there have observed my harassment and are witnesses to parties unknown hiding in their vehicle parked next to mine me on the otherwise deserted parking lot, apparently waiting for me to exit work. Cochran Firm Attorney Angela Mason answered my email to The Cochran Firm about the stalking by complaining to USDC about my email, saying I should not accuse a lawyer in that law firm of having a Caucasian man in a WHITE vehicle follow me. I believe she unintentionally gave herself away, since I never told anyone the COLOR of the vehicle that stalked me regularly, but somehow that attorney obviously knew. See the docket in our federal court case: Neals v. Cochran, Cherry, Givens & Smith; United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia; Civil Action File No. 1:07-cv-01935-TCB.
On September 27, 2008, my grandson wanted a treat, and I took him to Kroger at Harriston Road and Redan Road. The microphone feature on my computer is open (although I did not open it), and I am unable to close the feature. I was told by Microsoft Corporation that I am NOT the administrator of my own computer when I asked that firm to install extra firewalls and security. Microsoft could not help me. I suppose the microphones are used to monitor my movements, enabling others to anticipate where I am going and when, since I was laid off from my job in late February and no longer have a set schedule. (My computer is completely taken over, as I reported to DeKalb County Police in a report filed 5/10/06 with Officer Perkins, no. 2426, case no. 06‑064301, Center Precinct. I reported to Officer Perkins about my stolen emails, telephone tampering, and electronic communication interference; however, DeKalb County Police ignored Plainitff’s police report, just as my 911 call to DeKalb Police was ignored on September 27, 2008.)
Leaving Kroger around 10:00 p.m. on 9/27/08, I noticed several cars that had pulled into the Kroger lot when we did were waiting and pulled out of the Kroger lot when my grandson and I departed. The cars proceeded to travel down Redan Road headed toward Panola, which is the route I was taking. Realizing we may be again victims of stalking, I did not turn right on Panola Road to go home, not knowing whether these stalkers would open fire on us when I exited my car at home. Instead, I crossed Panola Road and made a quick left into the Petro service station at the corner of Panola and Redan. The vehicles also made the left right behind me. I proceeded across the lot at Petro without stopping and crossed Panola Road and entered the parking lot of the Chevron station at the corner. So did the vehicles that had followed me from Kroger. I got my grandson out of the car and we went inside the Chevron station. I stopped carrying a cell phone months ago when I realized it was easier to lose my tail when leaving work at night when I did not have a cell phone with me. Therefore I needed to call 911 Emergency police from inside the store, which is what I did. Officer Conroy reported to me today that I left the store’s phone number on the 911 tape, but I am sure that I gave my home address. No officers got back in touch with me regarding my emergency call until after I wrote to Congressman Johnson and Chief Bolton about the negligence of DeKalb Police to respond to my 911 call and follow up on my apparent endangerment and continuous stalking.
After waiting for about 25 minutes (which felt like a lifetime) for police to come, my niece came to help me get home safely. In the past when I was accosted this way and called for a family member to escort me home, those following me would give up and leave me alone. This night, they did not give up. The US DOT truck that was among those following me pulled right out of its position where it parked at the gas pumps when it followed me into the Chevron lot as though the driver was still going to follow me, although I had my niece to help me get home. That kind of outright harassment was new and very frightening, indeed. They were not backing down this time because I had family help and had told customers and storekeepers about being followed. Some of the customers were so afraid for me that they volunteered to wait in their cars until police came to save me and see me safely home. But no police came.
I then called my son-in-law and told him we were surrounded at the Chevron station and that no police came in about 30 minutes. I told him how my niece and I started out of the drive to go home and those following us were persistent enough to be coming right behind us, so we had to re-park. My son-in-law then came to our rescue. By the time my son-in-law arrived, I had been held up at the Chevron station for nearly an hour. During this time, the vehicles stayed, including the US DOT truck that went back to park when my niece and I gave up trying to get home without more help and re-parked.
My son-in-law got in front of my car and my niece got behind my car and we kept tightly on each other’s bumpers, and that is how I got home safely.
This is one of several occasions when I was surrounded by men in multiple cars who converged on neighborhood businesses where I was and milled around talking on cell phones, looking at me and not shopping. On one occasion, the manager of Franklin's Printers had to close her shop because everyone inside was afraid as these men filled the sidewalk outside and some remained in their vehicles parked just outside the computer/printer business. Employees leaving work at Franklin's had to exit out of the back door! [See the affidavit from the business in my USDC court case - Neals v. The Cochran Firm. I seldom went anywhere alone except to work, and I never go to isolated locations without guards. Therefore, most of my stalking has witnesses we expect to present in court - IF we can ever get before a jury. The frightening thing is that their stalking is open and notorious as though the men feel above the law. Because we are denied resolution on Larry's death and The Cochan Firm Fraud matter, I recognize the men probably are above the law. That is why my elderly mother and I just stay home now and hope we do not get attacked in our home for asking WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL.]
Another time, I was followed down Harriston Road and went into Ms. Winner’s (at the corner of Harriston and Redan) to be around people, thinking that would promote safety. The vehicles followed me in there, and some of the drivers came inside, and others stayed outside. I left Ms. Winners when two thuggish looking men entered and one of the men who had followed me inside the restaurant looked at them, then at me, and nodded his head as though to indicate me. I left Ms. Winner’s and went to Kroger on the same lot and told the guard I was being followed and had to call someone to see that I got home safely. As I wrote before in this report – having a family member escort me had worked in the past to get rid of those following me. As I spoke to the Kroger guard, three of the same men who were in Ms. Winner's came into Kroger and picked up the hand-carry baskets. I was held up in Kroger awaiting assistance for about an hour. During that entire time, the three men just walked up and down the aisles and put items in and then out of their little baskets, never going to the register to pay for anything and not leaving. Kroger’s guard asked if he should call 911 for me, but I declined because someone from my family was on the way to help me get home.
The Chevron station incident was the worse stalking event because of the apparent inclusion of the US DOT truck and the lack of assistance by DeKalb 911 and because of how notorious the stalkers were, apparently not caring that other people recognized they were after me. [The store has security cameras, and I hoped the police would look at the tapes and perhaps ask on television for the public to help identify the men, but nothing was done. In retrospect, I recognize that the men fully realized their stalking was being videotaped, but they were not concerned about their likenesses being captured by cameras in Chevron, at Ms. Winner's, the supermarket, or the parking lot outside Franklin's Printers.]
The reported location of the incident: Chevron service station at corner of Panola and Redan Roads.
A case number (if one is available): Please assign a case number.
The reason for the request: Police report and investigation requested.
Are you requesting (check one or both) I request both a 911 Cassette recording and a 911 printout
The costs are explained below and are accepted in Check or Money order only.
* The minimum approximate cost would be $20.00 (explanation is listed below:
* The cost of the cassette tape recording is $15.00.
* The cost for the CAD print out is $.25 per page in addition to the cost of any redaction (Portions of the documents may have been redacted based on O.C.G.A. §§ 50-18-72(a)(3), 50-18-72(a)(16), 50-18-72(a)(11.1) and 50-18-72(a)(13).
* The labor cost for the recording and/or research is based on the hourly rate of the Shift Supervisor who is qualified to make the tape.
I understand and agree to the cost of reproduction of my 911 tape and reasonable fee for administrative costs. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE ASK ANGELA MASON HOW SHE KNEW WHAT COLOR THE VEHICLE WAS THAT REGULARLY FOLLOWED ME TO STONE MOUNTAIN FROM DOWNTOWN ATLANTA WHEN I EXITED WORK AT NIGHT DURING JANUARY AND FEBRUARY 2008, AND MANAGED TO STAY ON MY TAIL NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRIED TO LOSE THE VEHICLE BY TURNING INTO DIFFERENT SERVICE STATIONS, ETC. One night I had to pass my house and proceed back to Harriston and go into Kroger and call for assistance. After I stopped carrying a cell phone, it was much easier for me to lose my stalkers. I prayed about the situation after the Caucasian man was waiting, hiding in his vehicle next to mine on the otherwise empty lot (there were three vehicles, one on either side of mine). Atlantic Center Building at 1201 W. Peachtree has the guard’s security report on this incident.
After praying, God immediately blessed me to be laid off so that I could stop going through that nightly ordeal. God is good all of the time! However, with the microphone feature open on my computer, my movements are still tracked, apparently. I have bought five computers since my initial lawsuit against The Cochran Firm in 2005, trying to get rid of the computer administrators who take over my computers. In our initial lawsuit, the Atlanta office of The Cochran Firm where we served suit alleged that it was not a Cochran Firm office, and Georgia Superior Court dismissed our lawsuit on that basis.
Since successfully serving the federal lawsuit, I have had to have the hard drive replaced twice in one computer, trying to get rid of other people being my Computer Administrators and opening the microphone feature on my computer and destroying my documents at will. I bought my present computer in September, but within minutes after bringing it home, it was taken over also, and the microphone opened at the bottom of my screen. Now I just give up trying to go anyplace, and I have no money to keep buying computers or replacing hard drives. These people can do whatever they want, apparently. Two things that the Computer Administrators have done with my current computer that interferes with my court preparations are (1) they apparently disconnected my CD player and disc burner (that device no longer shows up in my computer hardware list at all!), and (2) they destroyed my USB device where I stored files related to the court case.
************************
That is the end of the police report I sent Major Conroy. I included many details because I thought there would be an investigation. Wrong. No investigation ensued (just like Larry's secret arrest and death), but our online and in-person terrorism continued. Some time later I was told that everything that happened to Larry and to his family was "immaterial," presumably because we are - a family of taxpayers with numerous active-duty military service members, civil servants, and veterans. Below is Larry Neal's picture on his last Christmas when he proudly modeled his new coat before the camera. Read my poem below about our family's subsequent Christmas Holidays without Larry, called "Empty Chair at Christmas."
Christmas 2008 - I never thought we would come to another Christmas Season without having resolution regarding Larry’s secret arrest and death in government custody after filing our federal lawsuit against The Cochran Firm, but here we are. The shroud of secrecy surrounding these events has been punctured by our Internet advocacy, but censorship remains tight in mainstream media regarding Larry’s justice quest and our work to help 1.25 million other mental patients who suffer in America’s prisons for reason of their mental dysfunctions.
Despite not being able to shop this Christmas, I am blessed with life, unlike Duanna Johnson, the transgender woman who also planned to sue Memphis /Shelby County Jail, but was shot and killed execution style a few weeks after my Chevron station fright night.
Unfortunately, the poem I wrote last Christmas about my family’s denial of justice is still applicable this Holiday Season with only one edit needed: four years of dogging out Larry's elderly mother and family and atrocious treatment as U.S. citizens have turned into five years.
The unbridled stalking – open and notorious – seems to indicate that resolution is never intended to take place. But we trust in God. If you think this is all there is to this drama, you are very wrong. However, of all the parties to The Cochran Firm Fraud, only that law firm had a sworn contract with Larry's survivors to be our agents of justice after his death, so they are the ones we tried to sue. My mom fell in the lobby of the Memphis office of The Cochran Firm exiting the building after signing what turned out to be a completely bogus contract the law firm never intended to honor. Until that fall, our mother was very vibrant and enjoyed cooking, doing housework, attending church services, and she was active in Senior Citizens of Stone Mountain. Since her fall while exiting The Cochran Firm after signing contract with tears in her eyes the day after Larry's funeral, our mother is unable to comfortably move around in our home and has to use a wheelchair when she goes out. She is in constant pain and has nightmares about the different scenarios under which Larry might have died. The Cochran Firm Fraud prevented us from learning the circumstances of Larry's incarceration and death, which any honest attorney would have uncovered during discovery. Those unethical lawyers never conducted any discovery, although they falsely reported to us that a vigorous discovery process was underway during the 10.5 months The Cochran Firm merely held our case inactive while the statute of limitations was passing - to PREVENT us from having the opportunity to hire lawyers who would really sue Shelby County Jail.
When I saw on television that The Cochran Firm was representing Ms. Kathryn Johnston's family after her murder by police officers during the world's worst no-knock warrant case, I felt very sad that the media withheld the information about our family's victimization. I know that law firm cares nothing about elderly black women like Ms. Johnston and my mother. Apparently, the firm is doing its job and is intended to continue. I do what I can to warn others by writing about The Cochran Firm Fraud prolifically online while having to fight cyberstalkers to publish and endure cyberthreats like the coffin ad that I published the link to at my Google profile (Google "Mary Neal Google profile"), threats to my family like photos of children with their heads being held in toilets, and lethal injection tables with my name underneath (a printscreen shot is filed in our USDC court file along with an affidavit by a neighbor who saw it one of the many times the lethal injection bed labled "Mary Neal" popped out at me when I opened Internet pages). You can also see the lethal injection bed threat in the comments way, way down beneath my NowPublic article "American Concentration Camps Proposed in Congress - H.R. 645," unless my comment with the lethal injection bed was cleaned up like so much of my work is. If so, I have printouts. (Pray with me that elected officials do not intern American citizens in FEMA camps as threatened. I am quarantined in my own home for standing for justice. Ordering people to stay home who refuse vaccines should suffice in the event of an H1N1 crisis.) Oddly, one cyberthreat I received often when working in my Yahoo email box concerned induced cancer. I know that chemists can really do such things and that Johnnie Cochran died of cancer shortly after partnering with the new owners of his firm, but I hope that is a coincidence. U.S. Code 18, Sections 242 and 245 are not honored regarding my family's victimization. I wish that the U.S. Constitution meant more than it does and that all Americans really had "inalienable rights" that could not be set aside.
Because my family is allowed to be treated this way, we cling to God and rejoice, knowing that He is enough all by Himself. He promised His protection to people who have faith in Him, saying He would never leave or forsake us even unto the end of the world. In God we trust. I also rely on YOU who read this to assist us financially since I am trapped at home like Anne Frank and cannot get out to work. (I look for work to do from home but must be honest and warn potential employers that every word I type is monitored and no spyware or anti-virus programs can stop it, so that is a drawback.) Also, please help other unsuspecting families like Ms. Johnston's relatives by sharing this news. Alert people that their health may depend on understanding that some reports are withheld in mainstream news and curtailed online by censorship.

DEKALB POLICE CHIEF BOLTON FIRED
http://www.11alive.com/rss/rss_story.aspx?storyid=127284
DECATUR, Ga. -- DeKalb County CEO Burrell Ellis has formally terminated the employment of DeKalb Police Chief Terrell Bolton effective Tuesday.
According to a release from Ellis' office, a termination letter was forwarded to Bolton and his attorney, William McKenny.
The chief is fighting back. His lawyer says firing him is illegal.
There was never much doubt that Ellis would fire Bolton. Even Bolton's attorney expected it to happen.
"There's just a lot of stuff you don't expect a professional chief of police of a large, urban police department to be doing," Williams said.

UPDATE - October 20, 2009
It still makes me tremble to read that article and police report. Please donate to our advocacy to decriminalize mental illness in America and for my subsistence. I am still stalked and seek employment to work from home where I feel safer. At least if they come here, YOU will know what happened. I felt when so many vehicles followed me that they planned to stage a road accident. Meanwhile, I write about justice issues - hundreds of articles and blogs and thousands of emails to help deliver sick people like Larry from prisons into mental hospitals or assisted outpatient treatment programs, according to their ability to function in society and their offenses. I lead Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill, the online advocacy I founded to decriminalize mental illness in the tradition of Dorothea L. Dix, who successfully did that in the 1800's. Ms. Dix's advocacy was not faced with opposition by prison profiteers, and neither was she ignored by the media to help hide news of a relative's murder like I am. Decriminalizing mental illness in the 21st century is much more challenging than in the 1800's; therefore, we need your support.
Approximately 1.25 million mentally ill people are in prison in America, and many of them suffer cruel incarceration - solitary confinement in dark isolation, naked to prevent them from harming themselves in environments where harsh methods are used to control them during psychotic episodes - Tasers, restraint chairs and tables (such as those that caused the deaths of a Michigan teenager,Tim Sauders, and famous singer Sean LeVert). Imprisoned mental patients are also controlled by gassing them and even by starvation, such as was endured by Anthony Gay, age 35, in an Illinois prison. He is a mentally ill plaintiff in a federal lawsuit against prison doctor, Rakesh Chandra. The doctor allegedly had guards to repeatedly handcuff Gay's naked body to a cold, iron bed frame in a solitary cell and deny Gay food for 32-hour periods. Please read about Gay's torture in the article at this link (a SHORT article, I promise!):

My family has still no information on the circumstances under which my brother died, and it has been more than six years since his death. Memphis Shelby County Jail refuses to release any reports or give us any accountability about my brother's death - a happy, harmless, lifelong schizophrenic man - even when presented with a federal subpoena. It must have been something horrible for so much to be done to prevent authorities having to say. The Cochran Firm Fraud was followed by online and in-person stalking and other persecution of his family members who are denied police services. Since Larry died under secret arrest in 2003, we pray that he was not waterboarded to train interrogation experts for Guantanamo. Poor Larry.
Please give if and what you can in the handy PayPal and credit card depository on the upper left side of the FreeSpeakBlog to help us continue to expose how acute mental patients fare behind bars and how their families suffer. Another way to assist is by sharing my blogs and articles on your websites, emails, and in your social networks. Together, we can decriminalize mental illness in America and help expose other problems faced by disenfranchised persons. Public support helps turn things around. If not us, who?
The police report herein was first published in December 2008 in NowPublic.com. It is about my most frightening stalking event. It was re-published here in order to update it. I am no longer permitted access to update my NowPublic articles, as my membership privileges were suspended after publishing my "Michael Jackson's Death - The Conspiracy Theory" series wherein I re-published and expounded on a theory linking his death to his intention to advise the public not to accept H1N1 vaccines during his planned concert series. I did not actually believe the theory at the time but considered it interesting enough to research and write about instead of watching Michael's videos replay on TV immediately after his death. It hurt me to watch them. I believed while writing the first article in my conspiracy theory series that Michael died of regular heart failure. Now we know different.

Mary Neal's worst stalking experience since Cochran Firm Fraud started - 911 Emergency! http://bit.ly/lkakm
December 2008 - I feel it promotes security to keep the public informed as my family continues our justice quest regarding the secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal in Memphis/Shelby County Jail, so this is the latest installment. I discussed my most frightening stalking event during an interview on the Rev. Pinkney Blogtalk Radio show on October 11, 2009 at this link: MARY NEAL, A WARRIOR http://www.blogtalkradio.com/rev-pinkney/2009/10/11/mary-neal-a-warrior - Although we had numerous other stalking episodes (online and in person), September 27, 2008 remains the most frightening because of the USDOT truck leading other vehicles.
THE POLICE REPORT FOLLOWS THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION BELOW.
September 27, 2008 was indeed a dog night. Interesting news events unfolded about a month after my Chevron ordeal regarding abuses to inmates in county jails. Secondly, Duanna Johnson, who was to become a litigant against Memphis Shelby County Jail, was murdered execution style on November 9, 2008, just weeks after my grandson and I escaped the stalkers at Chevron. Johnson was a transgender person who was beaten in the jail's intake area, and a videotape of her beating was broadcast worldwide. I tried to make contact with Johnson through GLBT online sites where I left warnings about the potential for danger her lawsuit might present and the stalking I endured; however, she never responded. I was disturbed because when I called Johnson's lawyers' office in June when the video of her beating at the jail was released, I learned that Julian Bolton worked with her attorneys. Bolton was the 20+year Shelby County Commissioner who created the conflict of interest in my family's never-filed wrongful death of Larry Neal lawsuit against the jail where Johnson was assaulted. Bolton was the managing partner of The Cochran Firm's Memphis office when the law firm contracted with my family although the Shelby County Commission owns and operates the jail where Larry died and where Johnson was beaten.
The Cochran Firm defrauded our family by pretending to prepare Larry's wrongful death case for court while it actually did ZERO but lied to Larry's survivors about legal work being done for 10.5 months. Duanna Johnson's lawsuit was never filed, either. When she was murdered in November, her time was running out to file suit in Tennessee, which has only a 12-month statute of limitations for such complaints as Johnson's beating and Larry's wrongful death.
At least three recent federal lawsuits involving death and abuses of mental patients did get filed against Memphis police and/or Shelby County Jail after The Cochran Firm Fraud in Larry's case (Larry died in 2003, and the other three mental patients' lawsuits were filed in 2006 ). There may be others, but not all incarcerated mental patients have family members who would know about or care enough about their abuse or deaths to file suit. Some people consider GLBT people as being mentally ill, also. That could be why Johnson's abuse was tolerated by all the police in the intake area on the video at the link below, and her injuries were ignored by the nurse who can be seen attending to the officer's hand which he claimed to have injured while beating Johnson. The former policeman later threatened to sue for his "on-the-job injury."
Unfortunately, the attorney who filed lawsuits for the three dead or badly abused mental patients reportedly had a heart attack after filing the suits, and their civil actions stalled. Lawsuits for abuse and deaths of "unacceptably different" people in Memphis like Duanna Johnson, Larry Neal, and other victims, encounter bad luck. Either they are never filed, or jail abuse-related cases are dismissed before reaching jury.
Baxter and Friends Website (See the three lawsuits, including one about a mental patient who was shot 21 times and survived. I noticed that when I elected to view the .pdf of the lawsuits on 10/19/09, they no longer open. They are public records, however.) http://braxton.freshbits.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Duanna Johnson's Beatdown by Memphis Police (See the VIDEO near the middle of the webpage)
See raw footage of the police brutality and Ms. Johnson's interviews:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IAPTk69XPo
Footage of Duanna Johnson's beating in the intake area of Shelby County Jail is removed from every site for which I post the link. I was disappointed to note that even the website for "LGBT Hate Crimes" removed the video of Johnson's brutal beating, but I suppose money talks. See the former home of the video at this link. http://www.lgbthatecrimes.org/doku.php/duanna-johnson . Sellouts are more common than one would think.
Like many chronic mental patients, Larry was released in the early 1970's from the mental hospital where he had been an inpatient for two decades. Subsequent to that, Larry was frequently arrested for conduct that related to his mental condition: paranoid schizophrenia. He was denied readmittance for long-term inpatient care, but Larry was admitted from time to time for crisis intervention when he suffered from heightened delusional episodes. Larry also was hospitalized many times in the last few years of this life for his bad heart as well as for pneumonia and other respiratory problems. He faced declining health because he did not know how to dress appropriately for the weather, and he usually walked many miles each day. Unfortunately, Larry's family was not legally allowed to restrict his movements, and the care homes where he was placed also placed no restrictions on Larry's autonomy.
When Larry's family asked that he be readmitted to the mental hospital as an inpatient in order to save him from repeated arrests and declining health, the requests were refused. On August 1, 2003, Larry died in Memphis Shelby County Jail while being held under a secret arrest that lasted for weeks while his family and social worker searched for the mentally ill heart patient as a missing person. During that time, the jail repeatedly denied having Larry incarcerated. Police were simply sick of "fooling with Larry Neal," as a relative had been warned a couple of weeks prior to Larry's "disappearance."
My family's justice quest is intended to ascertain information and accountability about Larry's secret arrest and demise and to hold The Cochran Firm responsible for its fraud as our wrongful death attorneys in the matter. Investigative help from the USDOJ, which was in overview of Shelby County Jail in 2003, is denied Larry's family. Discovering that my family is deemed undeserving of the investigative effort of Michael Vick's dead dogs is why dogs became the symbol of our justice quest.

Since I am still uncomfortable driving after my experience of September 27, 2008, when I was accosted by four cars and the US DOT truck and 911 did not respond to my emergency call, this will be the first Christmas ever when I will not get out to the malls and enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of Christmas with my family. It simply takes all the joy out of going places when one has to beware of who is driving nearby and observe how long the same car has been trailing. However, I certainly hope all of the administrators and members of NowPublic and our readers have the merriest of times throughout my favorite holiday season. See the YouTube videos made for our protection at the links below:

On September 26, 2008, FourWinds and NowPublic.com published my announcement that videos would be released to expose The Cochran Firm Fraud. We hoped to save other families from being defrauded by a law firm that had a widely-advertised Atlanta, Georgia office, but managed to have itself declared nonexistent in Georgia Superior Court. (Our videos did not save survivors of 82-year-old Atlanta police murder victim, Kathryn Johnston, however. Many African Americans still do not use computers where I have published information about this, and mainstream media blacks out news of The Cochran Firm Fraud. The media's failure to report that the major law firm declared its prolifically advertised Atlanta office nonexistent to dodge standing against my family's fraud lawsuit in court while its commercials continued should be a matter of concern for all people and cause one to wonder what other news events might be similarly withheld from the public. What else might we be uninformed or misinformed about, and who decides what news gets published in America? According to former Cochran Firm attorney, Shawn Holley, after Johnnie Cochran became terminally ill, the firm turned racist and embarked on a program of delivering its minority clients substandard legal services. Google for her NPR interview online for related news and listen at this link www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=12171473 ) My worst stalking experience happened the next time I left home after The Cochran Firm Fraud video announcement was published. Before then, my stalkers' intentions seemed to be intimidation. All year they left me alone whenever relatives came to help or when I pulled into a crowded business lot. After announcing the videos would be released, that changed.
December 2008 - I finally heard from DeKalb County, Georgia Police Department regarding the night my grandson and I were followed by numerous vehicles and sought cover at the neighborhood Chevron station. As I reported in a previous story, I wrote to my representative, Congressman Hank Johnson, about the drama and my apparently being on a "no-response list" for 911 emergency services. Congressman Johnson asked Chief Bolton to look into the matter, and subsequently, Major Conroy recently called me and looked up the police record. He reported that my distress call was placed to the DeKalb County 911 operator at 10:18 p.m. and that police arrived at 11:11 p.m. to the Chevron station where my grandson and I sought cover that very memorable night.
That was apparently after my son-in-law arrived at Chevron and my Nissan was sandwiched between his car in front of me and my niece's car directly behind me, and we all drove away, sticking close to each other's bumpers for security. We hoped that whatever the men who followed me into the Chevron station planned would not include taking out three cars of people, including two little children.
My niece had actually arrived to rescue me about 20 minutes before my son-in-law, but it turned out that we needed more help leaving the Chevron station after waiting for the police who never arrived, while those cars just sat and facing the service station - part of the time with their motors running and headlights on and men walking around looking at us talking on cell phones. When my niece and I started out of the drive to the street, the US DOT truck came directly behind my car. That is why I signaled my niece to not leave and we re-parked. Of course, so did the US DOT truck and the other vehicles. After that, we all sat there until my son-in-law arrived, and they let us go - apparently aborting the mission, whatever it was. Whew! If you think smoking takes years off one's life, try living through an ordeal like that!
I asked Major Conroy why the police officer who allegedly responded an hour after I placed the emergency call did not at least call my home to ensure I was OK when the officer finally got to Chevron and found I was gone. Major Conroy responded that the number I gave the 911 operator was the store number where I used the phone to call for help. I seem to remember giving my address to the 911 operator also, so I placed an order for the 911 tape.
Frankly, I don't know which was worse about September 27: being followed and accosted at the Chevron station, or believing the police were not interested in helping my six-year-old grandson and me. Looking back, I believe seeing the US DOT truck on my bumper as my niece and I tried to leave Chevron and watching the truck re-park when we did was the most scary thing I ever experienced while awake, because of the implications.
It was not until more recent events in the news that I began to have a clearer understanding of the possibilities of why this truck followed me. Dogs never were a more apt symbol than yours truly on September 27. I felt completely dogged out by everyone in government, and the idea still completely blows me away every time I think of it. The following link has some familiar phrases that include the word "dogs" and their origins: http://www.phrases.org.uk/search.html?cx=partner-pub-1661211094230592%3A7u5dot-xy7q&cof=FORID%3A10&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=like+a+dog&sa=Search#1132
Some citizens are indeed treated worse than dogs. Larry Neal's relatives are certainly treated worse than Michael Vick's dogs.
BELOW IS MY POLICE REPORT
AND 911 AUDIO TAPE REQUEST FILED IN DEKALB COUNTY, GEORGIA
AND 911 AUDIO TAPE REQUEST FILED IN DEKALB COUNTY, GEORGIA
Note: Bracketed data was not in my original police report but was added to make it easier for you to realize what we face. Major Conroy called me over two months after my seige at Chevron, after I reported to Congressman Johnson that DeKalb County Police ignored my endangerment. No investigation ensued, and no official ever asked for license numbers of those who stalk me and followed other members of Larry Neal's family.
Major Conroy, attached is the completed tape request and a report on the stalking incident and others like it. I would appreciate any follow-up the police are willing to do to bring an end to my harassment and endangerment. Below are helpful links that may have pertinent information. However, I have no proof at this time that my being stalked is actually connected to my lawsuit against The Cochran Firm for fraud, unless you count the fact that Cochran Firm attorney Angela Mason knew exactly what color the vehicle was that followed me from work each night in January and February [and she reported it to USDC in a pleading she filed in our federal lawsuit against The Cochran Firm. I had NEVER told anyone the color of the vehicle. Because I read detective novels, I was aware that police always withhold some bits of vital information about crimes in order to see who will give himself away. It seems to work. See a few of our affidavits in our case. We have other witness statements, as well, that we expected to present to our jury, but our case was dismissed instead. Pleadings are public and available to those with a free USDC PACER account. See docket no. 22, final paragraph: http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-gandce/case_no-1:2007cv01935/case_id-145173/ ]
.
Please let me know if you have any problems opening or reading the document attached. It should be six pages. Let me know if there is anything or any investigative effort applied to my harassment.
Thank you for your follow-up, Major. I appreciate any attention you give this matter.

Your name, address, contact number and fax number (if available)
______________________________________
Regular phone no. 770.651.8413 [added 770.559.4690 in 2009]
The date and approximate time of the incident: 10:18 p.m. on September 27, 2008, according to police records as relayed by Major Conroy, of DeKalb County Police.
Brief description of the incident: I have been regularly followed and stalked by parties unknown since successfully serving suit to The Cochran Firm in its Dothan, AL office, Memphis, TN office, and to David McLaughlin, our assigned attorney regarding plaintiffs’ allegations outlined at the website http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com/ .
I wrote thousands of people about being stalked home from work at night as I depart the Atlantic Center Building at 1201 West Peachtree St., Atlanta, GA. Guards who work there have observed my harassment and are witnesses to parties unknown hiding in their vehicle parked next to mine me on the otherwise deserted parking lot, apparently waiting for me to exit work. Cochran Firm Attorney Angela Mason answered my email to The Cochran Firm about the stalking by complaining to USDC about my email, saying I should not accuse a lawyer in that law firm of having a Caucasian man in a WHITE vehicle follow me. I believe she unintentionally gave herself away, since I never told anyone the COLOR of the vehicle that stalked me regularly, but somehow that attorney obviously knew. See the docket in our federal court case: Neals v. Cochran, Cherry, Givens & Smith; United States District Court, Northern District of Georgia; Civil Action File No. 1:07-cv-01935-TCB.
On September 27, 2008, my grandson wanted a treat, and I took him to Kroger at Harriston Road and Redan Road. The microphone feature on my computer is open (although I did not open it), and I am unable to close the feature. I was told by Microsoft Corporation that I am NOT the administrator of my own computer when I asked that firm to install extra firewalls and security. Microsoft could not help me. I suppose the microphones are used to monitor my movements, enabling others to anticipate where I am going and when, since I was laid off from my job in late February and no longer have a set schedule. (My computer is completely taken over, as I reported to DeKalb County Police in a report filed 5/10/06 with Officer Perkins, no. 2426, case no. 06‑064301, Center Precinct. I reported to Officer Perkins about my stolen emails, telephone tampering, and electronic communication interference; however, DeKalb County Police ignored Plainitff’s police report, just as my 911 call to DeKalb Police was ignored on September 27, 2008.)
Leaving Kroger around 10:00 p.m. on 9/27/08, I noticed several cars that had pulled into the Kroger lot when we did were waiting and pulled out of the Kroger lot when my grandson and I departed. The cars proceeded to travel down Redan Road headed toward Panola, which is the route I was taking. Realizing we may be again victims of stalking, I did not turn right on Panola Road to go home, not knowing whether these stalkers would open fire on us when I exited my car at home. Instead, I crossed Panola Road and made a quick left into the Petro service station at the corner of Panola and Redan. The vehicles also made the left right behind me. I proceeded across the lot at Petro without stopping and crossed Panola Road and entered the parking lot of the Chevron station at the corner. So did the vehicles that had followed me from Kroger. I got my grandson out of the car and we went inside the Chevron station. I stopped carrying a cell phone months ago when I realized it was easier to lose my tail when leaving work at night when I did not have a cell phone with me. Therefore I needed to call 911 Emergency police from inside the store, which is what I did. Officer Conroy reported to me today that I left the store’s phone number on the 911 tape, but I am sure that I gave my home address. No officers got back in touch with me regarding my emergency call until after I wrote to Congressman Johnson and Chief Bolton about the negligence of DeKalb Police to respond to my 911 call and follow up on my apparent endangerment and continuous stalking.
After waiting for about 25 minutes (which felt like a lifetime) for police to come, my niece came to help me get home safely. In the past when I was accosted this way and called for a family member to escort me home, those following me would give up and leave me alone. This night, they did not give up. The US DOT truck that was among those following me pulled right out of its position where it parked at the gas pumps when it followed me into the Chevron lot as though the driver was still going to follow me, although I had my niece to help me get home. That kind of outright harassment was new and very frightening, indeed. They were not backing down this time because I had family help and had told customers and storekeepers about being followed. Some of the customers were so afraid for me that they volunteered to wait in their cars until police came to save me and see me safely home. But no police came.
I then called my son-in-law and told him we were surrounded at the Chevron station and that no police came in about 30 minutes. I told him how my niece and I started out of the drive to go home and those following us were persistent enough to be coming right behind us, so we had to re-park. My son-in-law then came to our rescue. By the time my son-in-law arrived, I had been held up at the Chevron station for nearly an hour. During this time, the vehicles stayed, including the US DOT truck that went back to park when my niece and I gave up trying to get home without more help and re-parked.
My son-in-law got in front of my car and my niece got behind my car and we kept tightly on each other’s bumpers, and that is how I got home safely.
This is one of several occasions when I was surrounded by men in multiple cars who converged on neighborhood businesses where I was and milled around talking on cell phones, looking at me and not shopping. On one occasion, the manager of Franklin's Printers had to close her shop because everyone inside was afraid as these men filled the sidewalk outside and some remained in their vehicles parked just outside the computer/printer business. Employees leaving work at Franklin's had to exit out of the back door! [See the affidavit from the business in my USDC court case - Neals v. The Cochran Firm. I seldom went anywhere alone except to work, and I never go to isolated locations without guards. Therefore, most of my stalking has witnesses we expect to present in court - IF we can ever get before a jury. The frightening thing is that their stalking is open and notorious as though the men feel above the law. Because we are denied resolution on Larry's death and The Cochan Firm Fraud matter, I recognize the men probably are above the law. That is why my elderly mother and I just stay home now and hope we do not get attacked in our home for asking WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL.]
Another time, I was followed down Harriston Road and went into Ms. Winner’s (at the corner of Harriston and Redan) to be around people, thinking that would promote safety. The vehicles followed me in there, and some of the drivers came inside, and others stayed outside. I left Ms. Winners when two thuggish looking men entered and one of the men who had followed me inside the restaurant looked at them, then at me, and nodded his head as though to indicate me. I left Ms. Winner’s and went to Kroger on the same lot and told the guard I was being followed and had to call someone to see that I got home safely. As I wrote before in this report – having a family member escort me had worked in the past to get rid of those following me. As I spoke to the Kroger guard, three of the same men who were in Ms. Winner's came into Kroger and picked up the hand-carry baskets. I was held up in Kroger awaiting assistance for about an hour. During that entire time, the three men just walked up and down the aisles and put items in and then out of their little baskets, never going to the register to pay for anything and not leaving. Kroger’s guard asked if he should call 911 for me, but I declined because someone from my family was on the way to help me get home.
The Chevron station incident was the worse stalking event because of the apparent inclusion of the US DOT truck and the lack of assistance by DeKalb 911 and because of how notorious the stalkers were, apparently not caring that other people recognized they were after me. [The store has security cameras, and I hoped the police would look at the tapes and perhaps ask on television for the public to help identify the men, but nothing was done. In retrospect, I recognize that the men fully realized their stalking was being videotaped, but they were not concerned about their likenesses being captured by cameras in Chevron, at Ms. Winner's, the supermarket, or the parking lot outside Franklin's Printers.]
The reported location of the incident: Chevron service station at corner of Panola and Redan Roads.
A case number (if one is available): Please assign a case number.
The reason for the request: Police report and investigation requested.
Are you requesting (check one or both) I request both a 911 Cassette recording and a 911 printout
The costs are explained below and are accepted in Check or Money order only.
* The minimum approximate cost would be $20.00 (explanation is listed below:
* The cost of the cassette tape recording is $15.00.
* The cost for the CAD print out is $.25 per page in addition to the cost of any redaction (Portions of the documents may have been redacted based on O.C.G.A. §§ 50-18-72(a)(3), 50-18-72(a)(16), 50-18-72(a)(11.1) and 50-18-72(a)(13).
* The labor cost for the recording and/or research is based on the hourly rate of the Shift Supervisor who is qualified to make the tape.
I understand and agree to the cost of reproduction of my 911 tape and reasonable fee for administrative costs. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE ASK ANGELA MASON HOW SHE KNEW WHAT COLOR THE VEHICLE WAS THAT REGULARLY FOLLOWED ME TO STONE MOUNTAIN FROM DOWNTOWN ATLANTA WHEN I EXITED WORK AT NIGHT DURING JANUARY AND FEBRUARY 2008, AND MANAGED TO STAY ON MY TAIL NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TRIED TO LOSE THE VEHICLE BY TURNING INTO DIFFERENT SERVICE STATIONS, ETC. One night I had to pass my house and proceed back to Harriston and go into Kroger and call for assistance. After I stopped carrying a cell phone, it was much easier for me to lose my stalkers. I prayed about the situation after the Caucasian man was waiting, hiding in his vehicle next to mine on the otherwise empty lot (there were three vehicles, one on either side of mine). Atlantic Center Building at 1201 W. Peachtree has the guard’s security report on this incident.
After praying, God immediately blessed me to be laid off so that I could stop going through that nightly ordeal. God is good all of the time! However, with the microphone feature open on my computer, my movements are still tracked, apparently. I have bought five computers since my initial lawsuit against The Cochran Firm in 2005, trying to get rid of the computer administrators who take over my computers. In our initial lawsuit, the Atlanta office of The Cochran Firm where we served suit alleged that it was not a Cochran Firm office, and Georgia Superior Court dismissed our lawsuit on that basis.
Since successfully serving the federal lawsuit, I have had to have the hard drive replaced twice in one computer, trying to get rid of other people being my Computer Administrators and opening the microphone feature on my computer and destroying my documents at will. I bought my present computer in September, but within minutes after bringing it home, it was taken over also, and the microphone opened at the bottom of my screen. Now I just give up trying to go anyplace, and I have no money to keep buying computers or replacing hard drives. These people can do whatever they want, apparently. Two things that the Computer Administrators have done with my current computer that interferes with my court preparations are (1) they apparently disconnected my CD player and disc burner (that device no longer shows up in my computer hardware list at all!), and (2) they destroyed my USB device where I stored files related to the court case.
************************
That is the end of the police report I sent Major Conroy. I included many details because I thought there would be an investigation. Wrong. No investigation ensued (just like Larry's secret arrest and death), but our online and in-person terrorism continued. Some time later I was told that everything that happened to Larry and to his family was "immaterial," presumably because we are - a family of taxpayers with numerous active-duty military service members, civil servants, and veterans. Below is Larry Neal's picture on his last Christmas when he proudly modeled his new coat before the camera. Read my poem below about our family's subsequent Christmas Holidays without Larry, called "Empty Chair at Christmas."
Larry Morris Neal (May 2, 1949 to August 1, 2003)
Christmas 2008 - I never thought we would come to another Christmas Season without having resolution regarding Larry’s secret arrest and death in government custody after filing our federal lawsuit against The Cochran Firm, but here we are. The shroud of secrecy surrounding these events has been punctured by our Internet advocacy, but censorship remains tight in mainstream media regarding Larry’s justice quest and our work to help 1.25 million other mental patients who suffer in America’s prisons for reason of their mental dysfunctions.
Despite not being able to shop this Christmas, I am blessed with life, unlike Duanna Johnson, the transgender woman who also planned to sue Memphis /Shelby County Jail, but was shot and killed execution style a few weeks after my Chevron station fright night.
Unfortunately, the poem I wrote last Christmas about my family’s denial of justice is still applicable this Holiday Season with only one edit needed: four years of dogging out Larry's elderly mother and family and atrocious treatment as U.S. citizens have turned into five years.
The unbridled stalking – open and notorious – seems to indicate that resolution is never intended to take place. But we trust in God. If you think this is all there is to this drama, you are very wrong. However, of all the parties to The Cochran Firm Fraud, only that law firm had a sworn contract with Larry's survivors to be our agents of justice after his death, so they are the ones we tried to sue. My mom fell in the lobby of the Memphis office of The Cochran Firm exiting the building after signing what turned out to be a completely bogus contract the law firm never intended to honor. Until that fall, our mother was very vibrant and enjoyed cooking, doing housework, attending church services, and she was active in Senior Citizens of Stone Mountain. Since her fall while exiting The Cochran Firm after signing contract with tears in her eyes the day after Larry's funeral, our mother is unable to comfortably move around in our home and has to use a wheelchair when she goes out. She is in constant pain and has nightmares about the different scenarios under which Larry might have died. The Cochran Firm Fraud prevented us from learning the circumstances of Larry's incarceration and death, which any honest attorney would have uncovered during discovery. Those unethical lawyers never conducted any discovery, although they falsely reported to us that a vigorous discovery process was underway during the 10.5 months The Cochran Firm merely held our case inactive while the statute of limitations was passing - to PREVENT us from having the opportunity to hire lawyers who would really sue Shelby County Jail.
When I saw on television that The Cochran Firm was representing Ms. Kathryn Johnston's family after her murder by police officers during the world's worst no-knock warrant case, I felt very sad that the media withheld the information about our family's victimization. I know that law firm cares nothing about elderly black women like Ms. Johnston and my mother. Apparently, the firm is doing its job and is intended to continue. I do what I can to warn others by writing about The Cochran Firm Fraud prolifically online while having to fight cyberstalkers to publish and endure cyberthreats like the coffin ad that I published the link to at my Google profile (Google "Mary Neal Google profile"), threats to my family like photos of children with their heads being held in toilets, and lethal injection tables with my name underneath (a printscreen shot is filed in our USDC court file along with an affidavit by a neighbor who saw it one of the many times the lethal injection bed labled "Mary Neal" popped out at me when I opened Internet pages). You can also see the lethal injection bed threat in the comments way, way down beneath my NowPublic article "American Concentration Camps Proposed in Congress - H.R. 645," unless my comment with the lethal injection bed was cleaned up like so much of my work is. If so, I have printouts. (Pray with me that elected officials do not intern American citizens in FEMA camps as threatened. I am quarantined in my own home for standing for justice. Ordering people to stay home who refuse vaccines should suffice in the event of an H1N1 crisis.) Oddly, one cyberthreat I received often when working in my Yahoo email box concerned induced cancer. I know that chemists can really do such things and that Johnnie Cochran died of cancer shortly after partnering with the new owners of his firm, but I hope that is a coincidence. U.S. Code 18, Sections 242 and 245 are not honored regarding my family's victimization. I wish that the U.S. Constitution meant more than it does and that all Americans really had "inalienable rights" that could not be set aside.
Because my family is allowed to be treated this way, we cling to God and rejoice, knowing that He is enough all by Himself. He promised His protection to people who have faith in Him, saying He would never leave or forsake us even unto the end of the world. In God we trust. I also rely on YOU who read this to assist us financially since I am trapped at home like Anne Frank and cannot get out to work. (I look for work to do from home but must be honest and warn potential employers that every word I type is monitored and no spyware or anti-virus programs can stop it, so that is a drawback.) Also, please help other unsuspecting families like Ms. Johnston's relatives by sharing this news. Alert people that their health may depend on understanding that some reports are withheld in mainstream news and curtailed online by censorship.

EMPTY CHAIR AT CHRISTMAS
There is an empty chair at our Christmas table
That was yours to fill
It’s been five long years since you left us
And we don’t know why – still
We’ve asked year after year
But no one will answer our query
Why was he arrested – why did he die
Please tell us what happened to Larry
"No explanation! No records! Stop asking!"
This is the official reply
From all the government offices
“He’s dead – let sleeping dogs lie"
But we’ll not give up, my brother
Until we know what is true
There’s an empty chair at our Christmas table
That should have been filled by you
We’ll meet for dinner again some day
At the Lamb’s great Wedding Feast
You’ll have a sound heart and clear mind
No longer last and least
Until then we’ll help those like you
Befuddled, confused, afraid
In jail for mental illness
May our commitment never fade

DEKALB POLICE CHIEF BOLTON FIRED
http://www.11alive.com/rss/rss_story.aspx?storyid=127284
DECATUR, Ga. -- DeKalb County CEO Burrell Ellis has formally terminated the employment of DeKalb Police Chief Terrell Bolton effective Tuesday.
According to a release from Ellis' office, a termination letter was forwarded to Bolton and his attorney, William McKenny.
The chief is fighting back. His lawyer says firing him is illegal.
There was never much doubt that Ellis would fire Bolton. Even Bolton's attorney expected it to happen.
"There's just a lot of stuff you don't expect a professional chief of police of a large, urban police department to be doing," Williams said.

UPDATE - October 20, 2009
It still makes me tremble to read that article and police report. Please donate to our advocacy to decriminalize mental illness in America and for my subsistence. I am still stalked and seek employment to work from home where I feel safer. At least if they come here, YOU will know what happened. I felt when so many vehicles followed me that they planned to stage a road accident. Meanwhile, I write about justice issues - hundreds of articles and blogs and thousands of emails to help deliver sick people like Larry from prisons into mental hospitals or assisted outpatient treatment programs, according to their ability to function in society and their offenses. I lead Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill, the online advocacy I founded to decriminalize mental illness in the tradition of Dorothea L. Dix, who successfully did that in the 1800's. Ms. Dix's advocacy was not faced with opposition by prison profiteers, and neither was she ignored by the media to help hide news of a relative's murder like I am. Decriminalizing mental illness in the 21st century is much more challenging than in the 1800's; therefore, we need your support.
Approximately 1.25 million mentally ill people are in prison in America, and many of them suffer cruel incarceration - solitary confinement in dark isolation, naked to prevent them from harming themselves in environments where harsh methods are used to control them during psychotic episodes - Tasers, restraint chairs and tables (such as those that caused the deaths of a Michigan teenager,Tim Sauders, and famous singer Sean LeVert). Imprisoned mental patients are also controlled by gassing them and even by starvation, such as was endured by Anthony Gay, age 35, in an Illinois prison. He is a mentally ill plaintiff in a federal lawsuit against prison doctor, Rakesh Chandra. The doctor allegedly had guards to repeatedly handcuff Gay's naked body to a cold, iron bed frame in a solitary cell and deny Gay food for 32-hour periods. Please read about Gay's torture in the article at this link (a SHORT article, I promise!):
Prison Torture within the USA, by Mary Neal

See a list of articles in this blog on your left and read about other people who need Dog Justice. Use the handy index field to access articles on other subjects that I write about, like capital punishment, wrongful conviction, excessive sentencing, over-use of force, and more.
My family has still no information on the circumstances under which my brother died, and it has been more than six years since his death. Memphis Shelby County Jail refuses to release any reports or give us any accountability about my brother's death - a happy, harmless, lifelong schizophrenic man - even when presented with a federal subpoena. It must have been something horrible for so much to be done to prevent authorities having to say. The Cochran Firm Fraud was followed by online and in-person stalking and other persecution of his family members who are denied police services. Since Larry died under secret arrest in 2003, we pray that he was not waterboarded to train interrogation experts for Guantanamo. Poor Larry.
Please give if and what you can in the handy PayPal and credit card depository on the upper left side of the FreeSpeakBlog to help us continue to expose how acute mental patients fare behind bars and how their families suffer. Another way to assist is by sharing my blogs and articles on your websites, emails, and in your social networks. Together, we can decriminalize mental illness in America and help expose other problems faced by disenfranchised persons. Public support helps turn things around. If not us, who?
The police report herein was first published in December 2008 in NowPublic.com. It is about my most frightening stalking event. It was re-published here in order to update it. I am no longer permitted access to update my NowPublic articles, as my membership privileges were suspended after publishing my "Michael Jackson's Death - The Conspiracy Theory" series wherein I re-published and expounded on a theory linking his death to his intention to advise the public not to accept H1N1 vaccines during his planned concert series. I did not actually believe the theory at the time but considered it interesting enough to research and write about instead of watching Michael's videos replay on TV immediately after his death. It hurt me to watch them. I believed while writing the first article in my conspiracy theory series that Michael died of regular heart failure. Now we know different.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
.
When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
.
Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. ~ Matthew 25
JAIL IS THE LAST THING THAT MENTAL PATIENTS NEED, AND TOO OFTEN, IT IS THE VERY LAST THING THEY EXPERIENCE. Please join our effort to decriminalize mental illness. No one deserves to be punished for having a disability.
Thanks for your interest. God bless you!
