Ummm. Refusing to let her stay with him is not the reason for what happened to him.
You're being disingenuous.
No it's not. It is totally fucked up. And nikki boy might have gotten a better response if he had focused on that instead of trying to make it another rant against the unfairness to men he sees in every situation.
That's my point. The whole situation is fucked.
However, it's not a "Because wimmen!" thing.
'Because wimmen' was almost certainly a contributing factor. If the genders were reversed, do you think the cop would have been so aggressive in hauling the now female resident off to jail based on a male's accusation? If they were both women? Or if they were both men? This was, at least in part, due to the whole push to always believe a woman's accusations and the politically motivated crack-down on (only) male-perpetuated DV. So what if a few innocent people go through the grinder. They almost certainly were guilty of something. After all, where there is smoke there is fire and women never lie about such things. 'Listen and believe', right?
It's 'Because officer' who broke the law, asking him to leave his home.
It's also not, as the subject says, "Man Refuses to Allow a Homeless Woman to Stay with Him." that was the issue.
It's not because he didn't allow her to stay.
It's because she lied, and because the officer chose to overreach, rather than actually follow the law.
It's because he was quarantined with shingles.
It's because the justice system in Harris County is broken.
There are MANY factors at play here, and while she was the catalyst, there are so many other places to point fingers. In a lawsuit, she might get the bod, but the justice system would get the full brunt, not for believing her, but for what happened for the next month:
quote:
The arrest that would lead to more than two months in Harris County Jail and cause Cruz to lose his job and his car and almost his home, however, had nothing to do with assault — an accusation police and prosecutors agreed did not withstand scrutiny.
quote:
According to the deputy’s offense report, the woman had not a mark to show for it, and everything on the table, including a chess set, was neatly in order. In his report, the deputy mentions he punched Cruz to “get control of the scene.”
quote:
Even though Cruz spent more than two months in jail before prosecutors dismissed the interference case against him for lack of evidence, Cruz would see a judge only one time. He would not even be present at his own bail hearing, where defendants are — in theory — constitutionally guaranteed the right to tell a magistrate they can’t afford that bail amount or to ask for a personal bond. Unable to pay the $3,500 bail, Cruz waited in jail, and was actually quarantined in his pod with more than 20 others for the better of two months after one of them contracted shingles. Cruz could not leave to go to the rec room, the library, the chapel, not even to court, trusting that his court-appointed defense attorney would handle it.
quote:
Cruz’s case, however, also presented additional problems: For one, why was he never afforded a bail hearing, which, as Texas Criminal Justice Coalition attorney Jay Jenkins said, is supposed to be a constitutional right.
Very simply, she started it, but Harris County, which has a number of lawsuits against it for crappy handling of cases, was the big fuck up here... and the article very clearly points out that many times this happens not to men accused of domestic violence, but to people falsely accused of drug charges, and even found innocent (after pleading guilty, to get out of their system somehow).
Again, I state, disingenuous.
Its not just texas however.
There is an unlimited amount of money to be made through the criminal [un]justice 'just-us' club in this country and that is exactly what and why they do it.
If the country was 100% crime free they would still invent crimes to keep their jobs.
It not just Harris county its the whole damn country and its built right into the system.
US law is broken (actually its the way its always been) and we never seen it in our faces like we do now thanks to the internet. Seriously its always been this way and 'this way' has long since become a national institution.
In fact if you take a closer look you will find that a lot of tickets are priced so its not quite worth hiring an attorney, so people instinctively take the cheapest way out.
Bravo for this mans sacrifice to bring it into the open in a clear cut case that shuts down statist reprisal.
We live in the land of institutionalized extortionist thugs and the legislatures and courts (especially the lower courts) have long since become interloping enablers. If you try to come in as a pro se' rest assured they will force you into an appeal usually from municipal to county, and for civil thats often after you run the gauntlet against several administrative hearings paying a fee each time, that are also in violation of your rights.
The so called original intent and understanding of the republic was lost a long time ago
