IN THE BEGINNING

> 24 may 2006 / IN THE BEGINNING - for months back in 1998 i sent email messages to the city of sunnyvale complaining about the excess speeding in our neighborhood, and nothing was ever done about it, that is not until i received this message from the city of sunnyvale...shortly after receiving this message i almost got run over and was attacked by a neighbor who was one of the speeding offenders i had complained about to the city...

to make a long story short; 1) sunnyvale neighborhood police officer beninger ended up serving me with a temporary restraining order that if taken seriously would have prohibited me from standing in the same spot in the street where i got attacked!?! - in fact; i could not even be in my own house if i took this bogus temporary restraining order seriously, and - 2) officer beninger had the gall to show up in court to 'protect' and represent my attacker (!?!), and even seemed to be coaching them as witnesses!?!...

i showed up in court and accepted the bogus 3-year restraining order and only had a largely blanked-out 911 readout as evidence, and it looked alot like these neighbors might try to extort money from me (money i did not have) so i let them run me through and accepted the bogus order anyway, because i like courtrooms about as much as i like getting my teeth drilled at the dentist...

and the strangest thing about all of this?...after repeatedly calling the sunnyvale police department after being attacked by my hostile neighbor, asking for them to file charges, as this man was acting increasingly hostile after the attack - i finally left a note on my hostile neighbors' doorstep that said "you will be be charged with attempted vehicular manslaughter - merry christmas" (a friendly note which was used as 'evidence' in court!?!) - and you know what?; my brother died in a head-on collision exactly one year later on christmas eve, a collision deemed an accident but...and my hostile neighbor has since moved away...

and to top it off;- 1) the police chief quit his job shortly after the bogus restraining order was issued, an admission of guilt if you ask me because he never followed up on trying to contact me after this message was sent in mid december, and adding to this; - 2) shortly after my brother passed away the city of santa clara razed the mortuary where my brother laid in a casket a few months before and turned it into high density housing complex...

the city of santa clara has had it out for me ever since i spoke out at a few council meetings and made fools of them all on camera a few years back, and leveling the mortuary near where my mother and brother were both laid to rest was the city's way of showing me how they felt about the situation...this is where my beef with the city got personal, and i have NEVER forgiven them for retaliating against me in such a way...it just shows you how truly evil the government can be at times, and this is just one of the many reasons patricia mahan should NEVER be a county supervisor...what is she gonna do next?...turn the mission cemetary into a golf course?...i wouldn't put it past her...

anyway, mister-o's attacks against my neighbors' property have subsided lately (see MISTER-O segment below) and i thought his evil streak was over, but no - instead he threw a batch of duck food out into the street yesterday afternoon in attempt to coax the ducks into the street and get them run over; otherwise known as ANIMAL CRUELTY (i swept most of it into the gutter)...

then this morning i woke up to; a) feed the ducks across the street like i have done for many years as usual; - b) where i have permission to do so, and - c) where the CITIES SUNNYVALE AND SANTA CLARA BOTH INSTALLED duck crossing signs years back and have pretended not to see them ever since; i could hear mister-o (see MISTER-O segments below) yelling some kind of jibberish off in the background...

he started following me across the street to sic his dog on me (he's actually the nicest dog in the world) then came over onto my property, so i went and got the hose to spray him in self-defense and he started to flee the scene (it felt great to douse that crazy old fucker)...he then came after me again and i disappeared into the house and waited for him to leave, then came out to spray him again and disappeared into the house again!?! - at this point mister-o was livid (and soaking wet); but he was also on my property and attacking me so TOO FUCKING BAD!...

he eventually all-out violently attacked me (which i believe was witnessed by my dad) and even left his hat at the scene as proof of the encounter, and after pushing him 5-6 feet away a couple times (it felt alot like wrestling an angry pig) it seemed as though he wanted to kill me, so with his wife screaming at him in the background "fred stop it" "fred!" "fred stop it!" i broke away and went inside to call the cops as MISTER-O sprayed the hose at our front door, bringing water into the entryway...

the sunnyvale police showed up - and other than one good young cop with glasses - they were their usual idiot non-union sunnyvale cop selves; i just got violently attacked and was somewhat hysterical (this is the 3th or 5th time i have been attacked and the cops have done ZERO - NADA, SO YEH; YER DAMN RIGHT I'M HYSTERICAL!) and lady cop starts insinuating that i was on drugs or something...

~

anyway; i went inside to call the FBI citizen's complaint hotline for the 50th time, and made sure the cops outside heard me talking on the phone...the moment they heard the word 'FBI' they sort of jumped up and started going to work, walking over to mister-o's house...my dad went out to talk to the cops and the lady cop started asking him all kinds of out of bounds questions regarding my economic status, and even made some comment about my mental health of all things!?!...can anyone say 'psychological operations'? - how about 'debasement'?...i didn't think so...i just got attacked, and this lady has the gall to question my mental health!?!...

~

if a woman is hysterical after being attacked, she is a hysterical woman; but if a man is equally hysterical after being attacked, he is crazy?...is that it?...i'm crazy and you're hysterical, is that it?...she is just another woman who is part of a larger problem; mandating that all men remain stuck in a devolutionary, insensitive, violent planet of the apes mindstate...decorum isn't even for city council meetings let alone for after one has been attacked! - you know; i get sick and tired of dealing with these spiritually dead decorum-obsessed government people...it's like they're all zombies or something...
~
tell you what; women asked for equality and liberation years back, and i still do not see this grand vision manifesting for the good of all yet...anything you can do, i can do, lady! - and you know; i just got attacked SO WHO GIVES A CRAP ABOUT HOW MUCH $$$ MONEY $$$ I MAKE!$!...

~

furthermore; i got done with calling the FBI and went back outside, and proceeded to make the cops aware of my web site (and particularly the TRAFFIC PATROL section below) - i told them they are wasting their time sitting around at peterson when the kids are in lockdown during class...cops need to be out patrolling the neighborhood for speeders to keep the kids safe in the mornings, maybe lunchtime and especially after school - otherwise it is a waste and they should be out doing other things during lockdown...they agreed to stop the cakewalking and promised to be on it soon...

~

most of the officers left the scene except for two; one was the original dike lady santa clara cop from the first incident with mister-o (see MISTER-O continued segment below) and she had NO BUSINESS being at the scene as this was strictly a sunnyvale incident, according to the nice lady i talked to at sunnyvale internal affairs a few moments later...like the sunnyvale officers; if she has no intention of protecting and serving me, she has no business being in this neighborhood - give out speeding tickets or stay out!...you know; as an artist at least i do my job by questioning authority; cops need to start doing their job as well by protecting and serving - so get to work!...
~
and you know; even though on some level i really like the lady cop, but! i must say that she strikes me as your typical biased female police officer (just like the other lady sunnyvale cop) who has it out for confident men, or just men in general - but the other cop was a pretty cool moustachioed sunnyvale cop who looked like a field commander or something who just wanted to leave and get back to work...instead of arresting mister-o, lady cop said she is going door to door soon in a neighborhood divide-and-conquer attempt to see who really likes the ducks - and who does not (i'll get 500 signatures by next week if you want to know who likes ducks, be-otch! - for every person who hates the ducks, there are 15 who like them, and i can prove it...for every vocal critic there are 15 silent duck lovers)...

~

the city of santa clara has known for years that i take care of the ducks they illegally displaced from the 1333 lawrence expressway pond, as this was a done deal years ago; and besides; SUNNYVALE NEIGHBORHOOD POLICE OFFICER BENINGER WAS THE ONE WHO ORIGINALLY TOLD ME TO GO OVER AND FEED THEM AT 1333 LAWRENCE EXPRESSWAY, which led to me continuing to do so ever since...
~
and! if you read my BAD COP - NO DONUT section @ http://likroper.com/OGNOCT2004JAN2005.html - the santa clara police have more often than not been crooked in my encounters with them, going back some 20 years or so...in fact; my dad went down to talk to a santa clara police officer about today's incident and the questionable cop behavior we experienced, and apparently he couldn't even look my dad in the eye when answering him (my dad was a loan officer/repo man for many years and he knows when someone is giving him a line of crap)...

WHAT CROSSWALK SIGN?

> 14 jun 2006 / WHAT CROSSWALK SIGN? - i have been told by 3 separate city of santa clara street workers that they would soon install a state law crosswalk sign on dunford way @ thunderbird avenue, but so far it has not happened - this crosswalk is close enough to a school zone to need extra signage, so please tell the city of santa clara to install a new crosswalk sign @ mailto:MayorandCouncil@ci.santa-clara.ca.us - thanks! ~
~

> 14 jul 2006 - THIS JUST IN: a neighborhood jogger got hit by a reckless driver on dunford way @ teal drive on july 10th 2006 at around 6 am in the morning, and the driver probably got let off the hook for not being drunk or something stupid like that...gee, shouldn't sober people be held even more responsible than drunk people?...

~

oh! and what was a sunnyvale police car doing sitting in the raynor parking lot instead of patrolling the neighborhood the morning after the accident?...i have been going on about the traffic and speeding situation here in SUPERBIRDLAND! for quite awhile, and i am willing to show up in court if this jogger person who got hit so desires - can anyone say LAWSUIT?...

~

NOTE: i posted the above segment on my web site a few hours before my 14 jun 2007 arrest where i was thrown to the ground in front of my residence while crossing the aforementioned sign-less crosswalk...

GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION (CONTINUED)

> 10 may 2006 / GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION (CONTINUED) - i called the city of santa clara illegal dumping hotline yesterday and told them about mister-o's illegal dumping rampages (see stories below) and a city truck came by in the afternoon (yesterday i found out that the lady who lives at the property where mister-o was poisoning the ducks is so fed up with him that she is literally ready to move out of the neighborhood if he does not stop) i then came outside to greet the worker and told him about mister-o's childish antics, and speak of the devil; mister-o then drove up...
~

i pretended to not see mister-o as he approached as i have nothing to say to him ever again, and walked away when he got there, and i assumed the city worker straightened out mister-o and that would put and end to the nonsense, BUT NO! - instead about 30 minutes or so later 3 santa clara cops show at the front door wanting to talk to me about the situation...
~

gee, police resources are supposedly stretched to the maximum and there are not enough cops to even patrol our streets to stop the speeding, BUT THEY CAN ALWAYS FIND 3 COPS TO STOP THOSE BRAZEN DUCK FEEDERS! - someone spits on the local 7-11 clerk and there is a warrant out for his arrest; i get attacked and stalked and menaced for weeks, and the cops do nothing? - can anyone say: 'crooked cops?'...
~

anyway, one of the cops was a very nice lady who i did most of the talking to, and i actually liked her a whole lot, she had alot of spunk...she allowed me to say everything i needed to say and seemed to appreciate my brutal honesty and passion...
~

the other two were young cops, and let's just say; - a) i did not get a real intelligent vibe from either of them, and - b) one of them was another one of those openly racist latino cops i keep running into all the time - other than that; they seemed nice though...they basically told me to stop putting the duck food under the lake terrace apartment trees, and/or on the sidewalk or i would be cited for illegal dumping...yes; they turned around what i had just reported about mister-o and tried to accuse me of the same thing!?
~~

furthermore; one of the cops even insinuated that ducks are sitting in the middle of the street on wood duck avenue at 4 am because of me or something...i told them that every year around the new moon of january and/or february the ducks come out of the shadows and roam the neighborhood ANYWAY, and this has been going on for years now whether i feed them or not...
~

my point is this; anyone who wants me to stop feeding these ducks and allow them to die, and especially in the middle of the spring time - is sadly mistaken...how about we put mister-o in solitary confinement for animal cruelty and/or abuse and stop feeding him?...how about that?)...
~

(see video clips of baby ducks with their momma recorded yesterday on wood duck avenue clip 1 - clip 2)
~

anyway, i told it to them straight; if the cops are not going to do something about the violent offense by crazy tom that occured a few weeks ago (see CRAZY TOM section below - see: exhibit A / exhibit B / exhibit C / exhibit D) then they can forget talking about duck feeding (i fed those ducks for almost 15 years without incident until i was out of the blue attacked one day for it, so why isn't the SCPD doing their job?)...
~

i then immediately followed the cops in my vehicle as they left my place of residence and went over to wood duck and benton to feed the ducks across the street (wood duck avenue used to have actual wood ducks before the orchard and its' trees were cut down and replaced by the lake terrace apartments, but now it has only mallards) and one of the cops remained to watch me place the food across the street on two properties of allies of mine, and right after i did this, i told him "one of my best friends since the third grade lives right here!" and he quickly left...
~

i used to leave the food across the street many moons ago, but too many people were in too big of a hurry during the dot com boom ran over the ducks as they crossed to eat, so i started moving the food over to the lake terrace apartments long ago...and now the santa clara police are essentially forcing me to put the ducks at risk by moving the food across the street once again, which will likely cause carnage...
~

the campbell police department recently had four detectives searching for the person who ran over ducks on camera at a car wash and it caused a national media outrage, so where are the lamos down at the santa clara police department when it comes to enforcing animal cruelty laws and making it safer for the ducks our neighborhood loves so much, let alone stopping the speeding?...can anyone say NOWHERE?...because of this obvious negligence, yesterday i called the professional standards department of the santa clara police department and bitched to them about this...
~

i think the lake terrace apartments and the cops just want to create another quick distraction from that violent idiot CRAZY TOM - but all i can say is this; i have now brought this whole crooked situation to the attention of the FBI citizen's complaint hotline 1-800-376-5991 (the FBI has recently set up a hotline for tips regarding public corruption at the local, state and federal level - the FBI investigates allegations of public corruption, such as embezzlement, extortion, illegal campaign financing, misuse of official position and bribery)...

TRAFFIC PATROL

> 23 may 2006 / TRAFFIC PATROL - i saw a motorcycle cop working the neighborhood yesterday, chasing speeders and handing out tickets in the process...good job!...also; last week on wednesday, the very next day after the incident with RRJ-3 occurred (see segment below) and according to an eyewitness account by a young neighborhood kid who was in the vicinity walking home from school when the gross exhibition of speed occurred "a blue mini van with teenagers in it" laid down some fairly large skidmarks on thunderbird avenue near dunford way - (see skidmarks) and took off down thunderbird towards lillick...i drove out to look for the mini van and saw two sunnyvale police cars sitting in the peterson parking lot empty!?!...
~

you know; police should only be at schools when a criminal act occurs, because most of the time they just sit around and play prison guard for kids locked within their classrooms anyway, and this is a waste of resources...
~

and while i am on the subject of prisons and prisoners; on may 21st RRJ-3 and what appeared to be the suspect in the blue mini van were making threatening gestures on wood duck avenue while moving down the street towards me on foot ...the very next morning, a duck was found lying dead in the street right where RRJ-3 was standing when making the threatening gestures (i moved the carcass before taking the photo)...

THE RETURN OF RRJ-3

> 20 may 2006 / THE RETURN OF ROAD RAGING JACKASS 3 (RRJ-3) - on february 27th, 2006 RRJ-3 approached my vehicle while i was getting out to feed the ducks at the lake terrace apartments...he pretended to act like a cop around a time when the media was talking about false arrests being made by police impersonators, so since he had no uniform i turned my wheel to the right and attempted to leave, and he jumped in front of my vehicle...not knowing whether this guy was some kind of crazy car-jacker or what, i turned my wheel to the right again and attempted to leave, but he jumped in front of my vehicle again, so i put it in reverse and escaped down the street backwards, turning around near peacock court...
~

i came back and took this photo of RRJ-3 just to document the event because i knew this guy would probably be trouble again down the line, and sure enough i was right...here we are three months later and as i was going to leave duck food on my friends' property where it is legal to do so, out of nowhere jumps RRJ-3...i quickly got into my vehicle and he attempted to keep the door open like he was going to attack me, so after forcefully throwing him back about 4 feet with the door (much to his surprise - i could push him 10 feet if i wanted) i slammed it shut and locked it...
~

i said "what the fuck is the matter with you!?!" and he went ballistic and kicked my door panel, doing about $1000-$1500 dollars damage to my vehicle...i then went home and called the police and the first traffic officer came and heard my story then left to go find RRJ-3 as yet another officer showed up to hear my story again, and he seemed like a pretty good cop...i told him about how i had been contacting the SCPD professional standards division complaining about their lack of action regarding crazy tom and how they told me the lake terrace people just want less food left and how i was attempting to comply with these requests by leaving the food across the street on property where i am allowed to do so, etc...
~

the next cop was initially cool then kinda went bad on me after the initial traffic cop showed back up on the scene...RRJ-3 denied kicking my door and committing malicious vandalism, and i had no proof or witnesses of this attack (other than my bent-up door panel) because for the first time in weeks i did not have my digital camera and pepper spray cocked and ready to defend myself, so the cops just warned him and let him go...i drove by on my way to the chiropractor and RRJ-3 was sitting on his fat ass on the ground talking to the cops looking guilty as sin with his fat girlfriend at his side...
~

after visiting the chiropractor i came back to my friends' house across the street from lake terrace and got them to come outside an play some catch on the street with a football, something i will now be doing alot more of in the future, as i refuse to limit my civil liberties for terrorists in any way shape or form...after a while the manager of lake terrace drove up and told me that the owner doesn't like the ducks anymore and he is paving the pond over in june!?!...i told her that the local ducks have an imprint on this neighborhood and the lake terrace property and/or the area around my residence in particular, as the city of santa clara installed duck crossing signs on my street back in the environmentally-friendly 1990s...and! even if they pave the lake terrace pond, the ducks will still return every spring anyway...
~

and along with the SCPD; she seemed strangely unconcerned about the attack by crazy tom and the damage done to my vehicle, as if these are her thugs doling out her vigilante justice or something...

~~

> also, believe it or not; while talking to the apartment manager who thinks the world revolves around her, crazy tom appeared from behind the trees and i actually talked to him, shook his hand and essentially forgave him for his violent acts...even though he attacked me he seems like a pretty cool dude who cares about the ducks, but he just has a strange way of showing it...i essentially agreed to disagree with crazy tom and the apartment manager, then returned home...

IN RETROSPECT;

IN RETROSPECT; while it is rather insulting that i should have to explain what should be obvious to any intelligent, civilized human being; the last few years of republican rule here in america has apparently brought back humankinds' violent and/or devolutionary (and/or primal - if you will) mindstate, and because of this i feel strongly compelled to comment on the current situation: 1) i have always believed that within the heart of almost all violent people lies a sensitive soul who lacks control, as one who is in control, controls oneself, and; 2) losers essentially have nothing to lose because they have already lost it, and; 3) being violent does not make you a macho or tough, it just proves that you are a fucking idiot, also; 4) my father taught me from day one that violence was no solution for anything, as violence only begets more violence (and psychological testing is only required for those who are a harm to themselves or others), and besides; 5) it takes a bigger person to walk away from a violent situation, as one who does so actually exudes more bravery than one who allows oneself to be drawn into its' evil, and; 6) oftentimes people mistakenly connect violence with heterosexuality when there really is no connection; as there are just as many violent gays in the US military (for instance) as there are violent 'neanderthal' men; making them in a sense one and the same; and since they often all have to take showers together in the barracks or lay in piles on the beach for navy seal training with no chicks in some kind of weird hetero/homo ritual (etc) - its' really all about don't ask - don't tell; 7) heterosexuality is really all about getting laid and i probably got laid more than all of you put together 15 years ago, back when sex was legal; 8) also; if you take into consideration that i am a drummer, if i break any bones in my hands i will not be able to play those drums, and there is not one stinking piece of shit on the face of this earth worth losing even one day of drumming over, and; 9) the only other alternative is to grab a big stick and...but life in jail just doesn't seem all that appealing to me, and besides; 10) i'm just too pretty; 11) but! if you want to bang your head against the prison wall, feel free to do so - although i would advise against it...
