I wonder if it will come to the black sedans changing over to this pulling up (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5GRlbKuF4g0/UEKoVce2OOI/AAAAAAAAR_M/X34eMXGtv4U/s1600/gm-obama-car.jpg) at houses if someone dares to insult the one they were waiting for, the GREATEST President of all time.

Gatorade is fantastic! When it was 100 something last summer and visitors HAD to go to the beach, gatorade saved me! So I imagine gatorade and 2 advils work wonders for a hangover.

Post by: 240B on March 01, 2014, 08:00:11 pm
Sorry guys. And yes I was a little drunk. But the cops were here, two of them. There was some fire system plumber who came in because he had to fix something. I said fine. There was no notice and no warrent.
 
He started ripping out my wall. And I said Hey! What the hell are you doing? So, I, as a mistake said, "Get out now." He came back with the landlord and the cops.
 
So no, it was no fantasy.
 
I know this is going to sound very weird, all electronic devices have to reset. As a straight fact of matter, my remote control for the TV, both front and back no longer work. My cell phone will not charge and does not work. My computer was somehow disconnected. I just got it working again now.
 
I am OK,  everything is fine. But Jesus, some weird shit is happenning to me right now.
 
But it is alright. And I thank you all for your concern.

I have sons that are firemen and one an inspector and this is strange. But if they needed to change the fire sprinkler in a condo or something this makes sense maybe. Maybe because you were buzzed it freaked you out a bit. I take it, this was not your home but you rent?

As far as the things not working they may just need reprogrammed because the plumber had to hit the power off to work?

Glad you are okay.

I put up with it more than could stand. The guy was here for hours. At first I was nice. Spoke to him in Spanish and offered him water, but when I got the impression that he was milking it, I told him to hurry the F* up. The longer he stayed, the more pissed I got. And the more pissed I got, the more arrogant he became.
 
I think it is a city shakedown. They are demanding that the fire extinguishing systems be examined and fixed in all apartments in town.
 
On the surface that does not sound bad. But as a matter of fact, they are using this to be able to burst into any apartment or condo, any time of day or night, and stay as long as they want. That is a fact.

I was the dog. I was sitting in my chair, listening to a Mexican who was ripping up home, with a cop on each side. That is no joke. I asked if I could leave and just get out. He said if you do I will arrest you on the spot.
 
So I sat there and watched TV. One cop to right, one cop to the left. I announced everything I was going to do. If I was going to scratch my nose, I would say it. "I'm going to scratch my nose."
 
Those guys would have shot me dead, as I would in a similar situation. I did not move for two hours and am extremely lucky not to be in jail today.

Probably because since he complained and the police came, their contract wouldn't allow the guy to remain in the home without the owner/tenant present.

And since they may get paid by the hour....or since his place was so 'nice' compared to what he normally deals with....he took his time, which aggravated 240B.

Then again, WTF do I know?   :laugh:

The most weird part is that they were going to charge me with 'public intoxication'. I did not want to be 'in public'. I just wanted to be left the hell alone.
 
Man if I was goning to be 'public intoxicated' then it is because those Bastards kicked me out, and made me 'public'.

They could have possibly made it stick regardless of you being inside or outside of your home. There were members of the public inside your home, and the plumber (want to bet union?) could easily claim he'd left to call the police (union) because you had threatened him. Can't think of why else two cops would stay there for two hours, else.

I don't think inside his home would count as "public" enough for public intoxication; however, it would certainly have counted for disorderly conduct.  Of course, the moment he set foot across the threshhold, the cop would have busted him (probably literally) for public intoxication.  And probably resisting arrest from the sound of it.

You have my sympathies, unfortunately in this day and age it's getting more and more to the point where we simply have to knuckle under (for the time being) and suffer these sorts of depredations by the cops (and others) to protect ourselves from being further abused by an arbitrary arrest, one that we do not have the resources - esp. money - to fight.

Update: a few days later.
 
The remotes didn't work because I was so drunk, I was pressing DVR instead of the TV button.
The clocks and microwaves were all blinking because the power was cycled.
The computer was shut down again because of the power, and a loose CAT5e connection.
The knot on the side of my head is because I said something to the cops, I guess? Or maybe I bumped it.
The fact that everyone was blinking sideways, I have no idea, along with the fact that my butt hurt the next morning, can't explain that one.

"We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon."

.....The fact that everyone was blinking sideways, I have no idea, along with the fact that my butt hurt the next morning, can't explain that one.

Ooooh, I hate it when that happens.

Update: a few days later.
 
The remotes didn't work because I was so drunk, I was pressing DVR instead of the TV button.
The clocks and microwaves were all blinking because the power was cycled.
The computer was shut down again because of the power, and a loose CAT5e connection.
The knot on the side of my head is because I said something to the cops, I guess? Or maybe I bumped it.
The fact that everyone was blinking sideways, I have no idea, along with the fact that my butt hurt the next morning, can't explain that one.

Thank you for that update
