Answers to Gripshöver Questions 62-184

A62: The 1855 Know-Nothing Riots
A63: 1861-1865;
A64: 4
A65: 1st : Holy Roman Empire; 2nd : Otto Von Bismarck's German Unification; “regime”; Holy Roman Empire; Otto Von Bismarck's Kulturkampf.
A66: Holy Roman Empire; December 25, 800-August 1806; The Empire was formally dissolved on 6
August 1806 when the last Holy Roman Emperor Francis II (from 1804, Emperor Francis I of Austria)
abdicated, following a military defeat by the French under Napoleon at Austerlitz (see Treaty of Pressburg) The non-Holy non-Roman non-Empire was really just a “collection of countries whose populations consist of stinky German barbarians, who got jealous of the mighty Roman empire and decided to call their country with a similar name” lol “Holy Roman Empire was like the children of alcoholics who rebeled, and got purity rings and got into Christian Rock.” ~Colin Quinn; Khan's Academy says that the Holy Roman Empire fell after Napoleon defeated the 3rd Coalition.
A67: John Hunt Morgan
A68: Governance without regard to Idealism.
A69: The struggle is real, and we shouldn't make it harder on others. We should either liberate them
from the struggle, or work to ease the burden of the struggle for others, or we should do no harm to
others whatsoever, for any reason.
A70: 6 (Six). At 12 years of age, we are stretching our imaginations a bit, unless the Black forests of
Germany were as Grimm as the Brothers tell us, to think that William Gripshöver would be forced at
gunpoint into the military; although it's possible. Besides him, however, from Henry Gripshöver, at 15
years of age all of the way up to 58 year old father Johann, all could have be conscripted, which makes
for a total of 6. If we subtract the women, then there's 4 conscriptable men in the Gripshöver
household. If we subtract the women and the old man, then there's 3: Johann the Younger, Henry, and
William. Still, looking at losing 3 of your healthiest grown men to the Otto Von Bismarck machine
probably didn't sit well with them.
Here's the ages and names of the pioneering Gripshövers: Johann “Barney” Gripshöver the
Elder (58), Catherine “Kate” Gripshöver the Elder (45), Catherine Kate Gripshöver the Younger (20),
Johann “Barney” Gripshöver the Younger (18), Henry Gripshöver (15), William Gripshöver (12), …
Theodore Gripshöver (9)? That's it. Ferdinand was 7 years old, and Josef was 3.
A71: Nobody knows why. Not specifically. We can only speculate.
A72: 5 (Five). On Q70, we learned that probably 6 could have been conscripted in 1869, but in 1866,
William would have been 9 years old, much too young, a mere child, to be sending to the frontlines, but
Henry would be 12, which we already determined was a.... maybe... okay. Yeah. They're barbaric.
Destroyed the Roman Empire. Then took it over. Then lost it. Then gained it back. Lost it again. But
are gaining it back ever so Merkelily. So that leaves 5 still able to be conscripted in 1866. Minus the
women, that's 3, and minus the old man, that's 2. So at the very most, Johann the Elder (55), Catherine
the Elder (42), Catherine the Younger (16), Johann the Younger (15), and 12 year old Henry could have
fought in the 1866 Austro-Prussian War. Most likely, however, 15 year old Johann the Younger fought
in the war, and quite possibly, 12 year old Henry. Johann the Younger may have also fought in the
Schleswig-Holstein-Denmark War of 1864, when Prussia and Austria were once allies, in their military
dual occupation over the Schleswig-Holstein lands, of which Denmark had once occupied, but he
would have been 13 years old, so the likelihood of him participating in that 1864 war is just a flip of a
coin. Johann the Elder would have been 53 years old, which is an able bodied man, but it's an old able
bodied man, plus the old able bodied man has a wife, and 7 kids, so let's let him continue to raise more
workers and soldiers for the nation-state war machine.
The1866 7 Weeks War was a war with basically just Prussia on one side versus Austria,
Bavaria,Baden, Wuerttemburg, Saxony, Hanover, and other minor German nations on the other side.
The actual pretext of the war was the control over Schleswig and Holstein, over which both
Austria and Prussia, jointly, as allies, had scored a military victory taking that territory from Denmark
in 1864. Prussia sent troops into Holstein, and Austria's parliament declared war.
By August 23, the 7 weeks war was over with the signing of Treaty of Prague, which gave
Schleswig and Holstein to Prussia, as well as Hanover, Mecklenburg, Grand Duchy of Oldenburg,
Hesse-Kassel, Nassau, Hamburg, Lubeck, Bremen, and Frankfurt outright, which combined the
disunited Eastern and Western portions of Prussia to a make a connected northern German nation.
Prussia's military victory guaranteed a larger geographic area, and therefore, more soldiers and workerslaves.
Hell. It could have been a family affair. They all could have been fighting in the German wars.
Johann would have been in his late 30s when the 1848 German Revolutions happened.
Before the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 commences, the Gripshövers sell their land, and hop a
boat ride on over to Kentucky.

A122: Miami and Erie Canal used to flow underneath where Central Avenue is built today, and the Miami and Erie Canal was dubbed “the Rhine” because it was located next to a Little Germany that was formed in the same place. The Rhine River is a River in Germany, so “Rhine” was associated with the new German immigrants. The first portion of the Miami and Erie Canal completed in 1827, and the canal flowed between downtown and Over-the-Rhine, which reminded German immigrants of the Rhine River. They dubbed the canal (now Central Parkway) “the Rhine,” and from this grew the name “Over-the-Rhine.” Music Hall, located on Elm Street next to Washington Park. Music Hall was originally called Saengerhalle, and was built in 1878 to give a permanent home to musical performances and expositions. Today, Music Hall is home to the Cincinnati Symphony and Pops Orchestras, Cincinnati Opera, and May Festival. Little Germany, with residents pouring in from various European German states, starting in the 1830s and 40s. People spoke German, ate German food, read German newspapers, and built German-style houses and churches, although it is important to remember that there were many different customs, habits, attitudes, dialects of the German language, religions, and classes present. The Miami and Erie Canal, completed in the Cincinnati area around 1827, ran along what is now Central Parkway, separating Over-the-Rhine from downtown. Pork-packing plants, soap and tallow factories, and various light-industries developed along the canal.Throughout the 1830s, first-generation German immigrants who had originally settled east of Main Street were lured by the low cost of land and wood-frame houses beyond the canal. The working class residents could access the original city (downtown) only by crossing bridges, and they likened this to crossing the Rhine River in Germany: thus the name Over-the-Rhine. But "Over-the-Rhine" may have had a negative connotation, too, and some sources say it originated from the more affluent German families, who made their fortunes in OTR, but who lived in the suburban hills of Mt. Auburn, Walnut Hills, and Clifton.The old St. Mary's Church, with its Greek Revival and Late Victorian architecture, was built in 1842, and is the oldest standing church in Cincinnati. The Roman Catholic church still holds mass in German and Latin, just as it did at its inception.The Miami and Erie Canal was a canal in Ohio that ran about 274 miles (441 km) from Toledo to Cincinnati[1] and created a water route from Lake Erie to the Ohio River. Construction on the canal began in 1825 and was completed in 1845 at a cost to the state government of $8,062,680.07
A123: 1) a German, 2) a German, and 3) the Germans; respectively: 1) John Augustus Roebling; grew up first 23 years of his life in Prussia (Muhlhausen Erfurt, Arnsberg); 1867 when Suspension Bridge was constructed; John Augustus Roebling was PRUSSIAN. Born in Prussia. The John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge spans the Ohio River between Cincinnati, Ohio and Covington, Kentucky. When the first pedestrians crossed on December 1, 1866, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world at 1,057 feet (322 m) main span.[3]Today, many pedestrians use the bridge to get between the arenas in Cincinnati (Paul Brown StadiumGreat American Ball Park, andU.S. Bank Arena) and the hotels, bars, restaurants, and parking lots in Northern Kentucky. The bar and restaurant district at the foot of the bridge on the Kentucky side is known as Roebling Point. John Augustus Roebling (born Johann August Röbling, June 12, 1806 – July 22, 1869) was a German-born American civil engineer. He is famous for his wire rope suspension bridge designs, in particular, the design of the Brooklyn Bridge. 2) Ferdinand Von Miller. Indian Mound stood where Fountain Square is today. Dedicated in 1871. Von Miller was born in Fürstenfeldbruck.After a sojourn at the academy in Munich and a preliminary engagement at the royal brass foundry, Miller traveled to Paris in 1833, where he learnt from Soyer and Blus the varied technique necessary for bronze working. He also visited England and the Netherlands, and after his return to Munich worked under his teacher and uncle Stiglmayr, whom the Crown Prince Ludwig had induced to devote himself to bronze foundry work and to the establishment of the Munich foundry as a state institution. Miller soon took his uncle's place, and upon the death of the latter was appointed inspector of the workshop.

A135: Black Friday.Black Friday, September 24, 1869 was caused by two speculators’ efforts, Jay Gould and James Fisk, to corner the gold market on the New York Gold Exchange.[citation needed] It was one of several scandals that rocked the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. In the late summer of 1869, Gould began buying large amounts of gold. He never sold this gold. This caused prices to rise and stocks to plummet.[citation needed] After Grant realized what had happened, the federal government sold $4 million in gold. On September 20, 1869, Gould and Fisk started hoarding gold, driving the price higher. On September 24 the premium on a gold Double Eagle (representing 0.9675 troy ounces (30.09 g) of gold bullion at $20) was 30 percent higher than when Grant took office. But when the government gold hit the market, the premium plummeted within minutes. Investors scrambled to sell their holdings, and many of them, including Corbin, were ruined. Fisk and Gould escaped significant financial harm. 1869 24 September. Earlier in the year, Jay Gould and Jay Fisk attempted to drive up the price of gold and corner the market.  On this day, "Black Friday,"  President Grant releases $4 million and drives the price down, an action that causes a stock-market panic.

Susan Jean King, an innocent, is in jail currently?
Louisville (KY) Metro Police Detective Barron Morgan heard Richard Jarrell’s confession and immediately told his supervisor, the Commonwealth’s Attorney, and after they ignored him, people’s hero Barron Morgan informed the Kentucky Innocence Project.  Louisville Metro Police Chief Steve Conrad, lead case detective Todd Harwood, and the police department did not want Richard Jarrell’s confession to be known to anyone, especially the Kentucky Innocence Project. Barron Morgan contacted the Kentucky Innocence Project after Harwood refused to interview Jarrell and told Louisville detectives that “we were opening a can of worms,” Morgan later told the assistant chief in a memo.  Morgan said that, when he re-interviewed Jarrell the next week, Jarrell told him that Harwood had come to talk to him but had given him the impression “he wanted him to keep his mouth shut.”  Harwood denied he discouraged Jarrell from cooperating but was unable to produce a recording of the interview, saying he had lost his tape recorder. After Kentucky State Police complained in May that the detective was interfering with King’s conviction, which came after the crime went unsolved for eight years, Conrad ordered an investigation, according to the documents, which Morgan’s lawyer, Thomas Clay, obtained under an open-records request.  “I understand the need for justice, but I’m not sure I understand contact with an outside group before we know what we’re dealing with,” Conrad wrote to his assistant chiefs on May 28. “Unless there was some compelling reason for Detective Morgan to contact the Innocents (sic) Project, we need to initiate an internal investigation to understand why he didn’t treat the information in a confidential manner,” Conrad wrote to his deputies later the same day.  The next day, Maj. David P. Ray told Assistant Chief Kenton Buckner in an email that he had spoken to a Kentucky State Police lieutenant colonel and “apologized on behalf of LMPD for Morgan sticking his nose in this.” Police Chief Conrad now says that the emails were only an “initial reaction” and Morgan “should have taken this situation up the chain of command.”  However, Conrad’s claim is contradicted a judge’s statement that Morgan only shared the confession after consulting with his supervisor and the county commonwealth attorney’s office. The Kentucky State Police contacted the Louisville Metro Police Department in May and demanded that it bar one of its detectives from cooperating with the Innocence Project.  Testifying in July during a hearing on King’s motion for a new trial, KSP Lt. Jeff Medley acknowledged that his captain ordered him to ask Louisville Metro Police commanders to call off Barron Morgan because “he hadn’t investigated the case and didn’t know all the facts.”

Kerry Porter, imprisoned for murder, is exonerated, freed after 14 years.
Louisville Courier Journal, 12/19/11, by: Andrew Wolfson. After serving 14 years behind bars for a murder he insisted he didn’t commit, a stunned Kerry Porter learned Monday that he was exonerated and hours later was released from prison. “He was virtually speechless,” said Melanie Lowe, who won Porter’s exoneration after a five-year battle. He said it was a lot to take in … and that he was a little nervous” about returning to the real world, she said. “He’s never held a cell phone or seen a flat-screen TV.” Jefferson Circuit Judge Irv Maze signed an order dismissing Porter’s conviction and ordering him released “immediately and without delay” in the 1996 murder of Tyrone Camp. That came after Commonwealth’s Attorney Dave Stengel agreed to clear Porter. “We have finally come to the conclusion that Kerry Porter did not commit the offense,” Stengel said at a news conference. Kerry Porter, who was serving 60 years for murder at the Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex in West Liberty — and wouldn’t have been eligible for release until 2040 — has always maintained that another man, Juan Leotis Sanders, was responsible for Camp’s slaying. Stengel said his office hopes to charge others for the murder and has several suspects, whom he wouldn’t name. But Lowe and Stengel offered starkly contrasting explanations for what led to Porter’s wrongful conviction. Lowe blamed it on “investigative tunnel vision” on the part of police and the prosecution, while Stengel said Porter destroyed his own credibility by making up a story that he was with his girlfriend at the time of the crime. She turned out to have been in a drug-rehab clinic.

Over 3 Years and Counting, "Dahmer" Fucked With Me

Only 38% of Louisville topix users believe that "Dahmer" has not completely ruined this site. This leaves 62% of Louisville users who believe there's no redemption for this website, and that there's no redemption for that kkkkunt.http://www.topix.com/forum/louisville/TCOVMLB...

Here "Obs/Neu/rick/LOL/hahaha/ etc" was voted a lowlife and a coward.http://www.topix.com/forum/louisville/TAH90VI...

The top five posts--LOL with 56%, Scarecrow with 7%, Observation with 9%, Neutral Party with 9%, and Nate Higgers with 7%--are all the same person. For years, Ohio Cowgirl, and Politically Incorrect, have been conversat'n and validat'n this douche since I've seen this sight. The top 5 posts of this poll, show that Louisville topix users, the few still browsing around, and voting, believe that "LOL" is the worst human being to have ever lived, though, it's not clear if most folks understood that this anonymous oppressor creeper molester terrorist is all 5 of these names, and probably a million more.http://www.topix.com/forum/louisville/THUHV9F...

Here "Dahmer" loses hands down in a "#1 white supremacist pedophile" poll.http://www.topix.com/forum/louisville/TGH7U10... Dahmer lost to Michael Jackson, Moses, the Catholic Church, and Christopher Columbus!!! Even if this doesn't show any real truth (though it is interesting how many historical titans were child rapists just like Dahmer), it does show a burning hatred from Louisville topix users for this despicable lowlife.
2 posts down from this thread: http://www.topix.com/forum/louisville/T4AQD61... we see Dahmer writing about my sister's "lil mermaid" underwear, on the 2nd post down. Dahmer doesn't know my sister. He doesn't know me. But he does not care. He will write whatever criminal words he needs to, in order to get that laugh he had with me, 3 years ago, when I was genuinely reaching out to folks about things going on in my life... but not anymore. I've turned cold and uncaring, as you all are. It will not matter if I cry about anything, my abuse, my children's cancer, homelessness, b/c Americans just refuse to care... they're used to the prison system, and the have-nots evidently luv to keep it going.

Dahmer has a pedophilic criminal mind, he's writing all about it, all over the Internet, against a poor young minor female, whose done nothing to anybody. I like the name "Dahmer" for you... that's the name I bequeath to you. Lil Jeffrey Dahmer Jr... you try so hard, to be so tough... but all yall got is a keyboard, eh? Keyboard plus ignorance equals head on a stick.

Where's the Reverend? I should go hang out with him. There's one good man on this forum.

Gallatin County Judge-Executives

http://news.google.com/newspapers... "Counts against Gallatin judge are dismissed", in Park City Daily News, January 16, 1976. Burlington, Ky.(AP)-- Traffic charges against Gallatin County Judge Clarence Davis, including a charge of driving while intoxicated, have been dismissed on a technicality by Boone County Judge Bruce Ferguson. Boone County Patrolman Marvin Smith, who arrested Clarence Davis Nov. 16, was scheduled for trial in Gallatin County Court Friday on counter charges brought by Davis. Bruce Ferguson said, however, that he understands that charges against the police officer will be dropped by Special Gallatin County Judge John Lane Ackerman at Warsaw. Bruce Ferguson said Marvin Smith did not have jurisdiction when he arrested Clarence Davis in Gallatin County. Marvin Smith said he chased Davis' car at speeds of 120 m.p.h. across the county line. Marvin Smith said he struck Clarence Davis on the head with a flashlight when the Gallatin judge resisted. Charges of reckless driving and driving without a license were filed against Clarence Davis at that time, Marvin Smith said. Clarence Davis charged Smith with assault and official misconduct. Bruce Ferguson said Marvin Smith erred when he brought Clarence Davis back to Boone County to file the charges. Bruce Ferguson said the law required the officer to take the prisoner to authorities in Gallatin County to file charges." -January 16, 1976 There was another story about Queen city barrel, but I'm not clear on the details. January 19, 2001. From Cincinnati Enquirer: http://enquirer.com/editions/2001/01/19/loc_k... Man, 65, pleads guilty to drug charge COVINGTON — A member of a prominent Gallatin County family pleaded guilty Thursday to distributing 50.62 grams of methamphetamine Oct. 11. Aundis Davis, 65, of Glencoe, could get five years in prison when he is sentenced April 19 in U.S. District Court. He appeared in court Thursday morning, when his trial was set for Monday. But Mr. Davis decided to plead guilty later in the day. According to federal court documents, he told an FBI informant that he could sell him some “white stuff” and “crystals” for $1,200 an ounce or $300 for an “eight ball.” The complaint said that, on Oct. 11, the informant gave Mr. Davis $2,200 in marked $100 bills while under surveillance. The informant then received 50.62 grams of meth. Mr. Davis was arrested the next day. His brother is former Gallatin County Judge-executive Clarence Davis. Marie Helms vs. George Zubaty http://www.leagle.com/decision/2007747495F3d2... On July 15, 2004, Helms went to the office of the Judge Executive of Gallatin County, Kentucky, Defendant-Appellee George Zubaty ("Zubaty"), to voice her concerns about the proposed county payroll tax. When she arrived at the office suite Zubaty shares with several other county officials, Helms learned from his receptionist, Ms. Chipman ("Chipman"), that Zubaty was out of town at a conference and would not return that day. Chipman, who has known Helms for a long time, agreed to let Helms sit down and stay in the office. Helms launched into a criticism of the proposed tax, complaining of the hardships it would impose on everyone working in the county and calling Zubaty a "lying son of a bitch." Chipman testified that Helms was "just kind of worked up, kind of a little bit more and more as she talked." Defendant-Appellee Winslow Baker ("Baker"), who shares an office suite with Zubaty in his capacity as Zoning and Planning Administrator, returned from lunch several minutes later while Helms was discussing the tax with Chipman. He testified that, as he walked through the reception area to his office, he heard Helms say that "she was going to move into that office, we were going to have to feed her and clothe her there, she wasn't going to leave." This testimony is corroborated by Chipman's statement that Helms told her "she was just going to homestead until she got her $70 back." Not long after his arrival at his office, Baker heard Helms call Zubaty a "son of a bitch." He walked out into the reception area and asked Helms to leave, telling her she was disrupting the office. Baker testified that her behavior prevented him from making and returning phone calls about zoning and planning matters, and that he asked Helms to leave because her complaints "got pretty loud at times" and he thought they "could conduct business better if she would leave." When Helms refused to leave, Baker called 911 and reported that they had "a disruptive person in the judge's office." He then informed Helms that he had called the police. Defendant-Appellee Officer Brent Caldwell ("Caldwell") responded to the 911 dispatch and, arriving at the office soon after Baker's call, found Helms still sitting across from Chipman. Baker informed Caldwell that Helms had been asked to leave the office because "he was unable to conduct his course of work." According to Caldwell, Chipman indicated that the disruption was about the payroll tax. When Caldwell asked Helms to leave, she informed him that "the attorney general told her that she had every right to be within a public building." Officer Caldwell told Helms that she was "absolutely correct" until she was asked to leave, but Helms indicated that she would only be leaving if Caldwell put her in handcuffs. Caldwell told Helms that he would rather not arrest her, and asked her again to leave. When Helms refused, Caldwell arrested her and charged her with Criminal Trespass in the Second Degree under Kentucky Revised Statute § 511.070. On January 4, 2005, a jury acquitted Marie Helms of criminal trespass. On March 23, 2005, Helms filed this lawsuit claiming that the "criminal case was prosecuted against Plaintiff by Defendants in an attempt to intimidate her from speaking out against matters of public concern." The complaint names Zubaty and Baker as defendants, both individually and in their official capacities with the county. It also names Donnie Gould, City of Warsaw Police Chief, Travis Simpson, Mayor of Warsaw, and Officer Brent Caldwell, City of Warsaw, as defendants both individually and officially. The district court granted summary judgment for Defendants on Helms's federal claims and dismissed her related state claims without prejudice. Helms timely appealed. Would anybody know what happened with that payroll tax? March 28, 2012 Clarence Davis vs. Clifford S. Lilly, et al April 25, 2012 http://kdl.kyvl.org/catalog/xt7ksn010j2f_3/te...

The Gallatin County Public Library opened in 1978 with less than 8,000 books housed in a remodeled laundromat on West Pearl Street in Warsaw, Kentucky. Today our library is a beautiful 6,800 square foot building on West Market Street that contains 21,000 books along with scores of videos, CDs audio tapes and several computers with Internet access. The library's inception followed years of hard work in the 1970s by original board chairman Charles Warnick with members Mary Evelyn Beverly, William Coates, Doris Combs, Barbara Liggett and Richard Rider. Each of these individuals along with regional librarian Phil Carrico and former Gallatin County Judge Clarence Davis shared a vision of a free public library in Gallatin County. It's due to their efforts that today, Gallatin County enjoys one of the most beautiful libraries in the Commonwealth - one that has served as a model to many others in the area. Located in its temporary location for six years, construction on the current library on West Market Street was completed in 1984.

"FOX19 Investigates: County executive violating a judge's order?" Sep 23, 2013 By Matthew Nordin http://www.fox19.com/story/23507984/fox19-inv... Earlier this year, Searcy says he met with McFarland asking the judge/executive, who oversees the county's 911 dispatch system as part of his duties, to take his competitor off the list. After not hearing back, Searcy went to court. His attorney convinced Kentucky Circuit Court Judge James Schrand to order McFarland to take the competitor off the list and to follow the county's own guidelines when it comes to approving big rig tow truck operations. The competitor is still on the list. So Searcy's attorney, Grant Axon, asked Judge Schrand on Monday to hold McFarland in contempt of court. On the stand, McFarland testified that he "absolutely" followed the judge's order. But he concedes that Searcy's competitor was only off the approved tow truck list for anywhere from "30 seconds" to a couple of hours after the county received the judge's order. McFarland says the county attorney's office, which is representing him in court, informed him that they checked with dispatchers and Searcy's competitor has the correct paperwork on file. So McFarland says he was satisfied that he'd met the judge's requirements. Judge Schrand did not make a decision during Monday's hearing. He is giving Gallatin County until Friday to provide more documentation. Then he'll allow Searcy's side to respond. So it could be a couple of weeks before there is a ruling. Judge/Executive McFarland and county attorneys declined to speak on-camera with FOX19 while the judge is considering how to rule.

"Harassment Communications" ($2,500)

The prettiest eyes have cried the most tears, and the kindest hearts have felt the most pain.”

During my nearly two decades of childhood, I lived in a reign of terror as a child slave with an abusive father. While violence was put on my Mother and my Sisters, being the only boy in the household, I was treated the worst. Later on, my Mother would tell me that raising girls was easy, because you're just supposed to love them. But when it came to raising boys, she didn't understand. She would also later tell me that she didn't remember any of the violence, when it was a routine, habitual thing. It was like she was trying to get me to forget all that happened, as if that was even possible. Or perhaps she was lying to herself. I don't know.

At the dinner table, I sat at the right hand of the father, and would get smacked, daily, for doing mundane annoyances. Sometimes I'd have my elbows on the table, or I'd drink my drink too loudly, or really any trivial thing that my abusive father would find disagreeable, would illicit anger and violence. This is the story of my first two decades of my life. It's painful to remember, but I feel, at least to a receptive audience, there's much to be gained from the pain of my youth. Sometimes, hitting me in the head wasn't good enough, he'd want to destroy my soul, as if any hint of having my own thoughts or personality that would pop up would have to smashed. Sometimes, instead of just direct violence, he'd take my cup full of Kool-Aid, and throw it in my face. So the violence was horrible, but it was much more than that. It was the humiliation, publicly and privately, and it was the jokes, and then there's the laughing. I was my abusive father's whipping boy, a scapegoat, somebody to make him feel powerful, an outlet for him to unleash his anger. He liked calling me a “wiener”, and would constantly impress his friends, his wife, my cousins, by making fun of me. It was a nightmare. A long, violent nightmare, that never stopped. I lived in constant terror, and I was ignorant to having dignity or pride in myself. I never thought to leave, or to run away, till I was 17, because I didn't realize that I was a victim, and that a different, better, life was possible.

I grew up on a tobacco farm, which has a rich history of slavery, and was constantly being ran, doing house chores, while he watched TV, doing hours of farmwork, in the blistering sun, picking tomatoes, hoeing, cutting tobacco, mowing grass at 2 in the morning, making straight A's in school, even being Valedictorian. I also played sports and was on the academic team, but none of these things mattered, and wasn't worthy of any respect or consolation. The name of the game was about power, control, domination, manipulation... in a single word, it was Oppression. It was Hell. Working in Tobacco, getting Green Tobacco Sickness, aka Nicotine Poisoning, and doing it all for no other purpose, except for being afraid. There was no pay. There was no room to be myself, or to allow my biology to unfold. My abusive father would brag about being the dictator, and he took my Mother's head, and slammed it on the Farm equipment. Around 3rd grade, they separated, but then they got back together. He's been in jail for domestic violence. He'd abuse the pets, brag about how he likes to drown kittens, and he'd talk bad about the Gripshovers, my Mother's family. Mom never objected, or stood up for herself. In her eyes, if she took all the abuse, then that was more guarantee that she was going to Heaven. But she was complicit in the crimes. She witnessed them, and did nothing about it. And as time went on, she'd be the person who'd start the fight, and my abusive father would come in, and “protect” her by carrying on his oppression. I remember being in the bean patch, when I around 10 years old, and my abusive father got in my younger sister's face, and yelled at her, till she started to pee on herself. He then ordered her to go back to the trailer, a ½ mile away, to get herself cleaned up. My sister and I came back, and started to mock her, singing “The Yellow Brick Road”. Later on, I found a picture of my sister where she had X'd her face out, and wrote on the back, “Everybody always hated me.” So my abusive father would pretend to protect a full grown woman against children, but hitting little innocent girls he had no problem with?

There's a lot of insanity here, and he was beat up and molested as a child by his stepfather. So he's a victim himself. But he never got out. He never stood up to his oppressor, he never liberated himself, and still has a close relationship with the person who molested and abused him and his sister when he was a child. He desperately wants his oppressor's approval. I can see the big picture. We also live in a patriarchal racist culture, which hides and protects monsters like him, especially in rural Kentucky, where domestic violence, child abuse, animal abuse, elder abuse, and insanity, runs rampant. I remember some of the major incidents vividly, but since the oppression and violence was routine, it was a constant reign of terror, I internalized much of what happened, and just chalked it up to that's just how things are. I wonder if he was jealous of me because my Mother showed me love, or perhaps he was jealous of the good relationship I had with my little brother (who was born when I was 13 years old). I don't know. I think he's a dysphoric borderline case, but that's for him, and the professionals to figure out. He hasn't even to doing anything wrong, and probably won't. Ever.

Martin Luther King said that in the end, we don't remember the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. I remember my Mother just watching all of it. I remember my Mother just watching all of it, and I remember her face as she turned her head, and pretended not to see the crimes happening right before her eyes. And my sisters. And perhaps everybody was scared, so nobody did a thing. But as a young man, I wasn't being taught anything about manhood. We didn't learn to talk to each other, to cooperate, to have solidarity, to be a loving family. It was about control and obedience, and that's it. Not crying, not showing any emotion, carrying around a handkerchief, these were important milestones for my abusive father to have me cross, in order to be a man. George Carlin said that 95% of the world's problems are because of the dumb things fathers do to their sons. In fact, there isn't much about Manhood that's worth salvaging.

So while these horrible things happened to me, I believe there's much beauty that came from this tragedy. My childhood curse can be converted into an adult blessing, for myself, and the rest of the world. My abusive father is my antithesis. I have such a strong dislike of the way I was raised, I have come to the conclusion that all violence, abuse, and bullying is wrong. Any form of intimidation is wrong. If you can't convince somebody to do something, you must respect that, and walk away. I can't stand any type of Oppression, or Bullying. Self-defense, or defense of another person is the only time violence should even be considered, and even then, it doesn't have to be employed. Stop. Look. Listen. Think. Act.

So this provides a separate narrative to the one that my “criminal” report would suggest. There's several charges that have to do with my upbringing directly. There was a charge of “Filing a False Report”, but was dismissed. My Mother had told me that she got out her aggression on Kurt, my little brother, by hitting him. These sentiments bothered me, and so I called Child Services on them. This was when I was living in Florida with my oldest sister. A month later, my abusive father was friends with the Prosecutor of the town, and while I was staying at a friend's house in Cincinnati, sleeping in the attic, I was charged with Filing a False Report. It was dismissed because it wasn't false. So my abusive father made the Prosecutor drop the charges. This was in 2007.

After not getting my feet on any foundation, after 40+ jobs, and 20+ different addresses, I didn't want to burden any more friends, or family, for providing something my parents should happily have provided: Housing. So in 2009, when I was 27 years old, I moved back into the house. I was also curious to see if he was still an abusive person to my younger siblings. While things were cordial between us, he called me “wiener” again, in front of my friends. I didn't say anything to him at the time, but wanted to talk to him about it later on. So I sat down, and respectfully, addressed the issue of him calling me names I didn't like. His reaction surprised me. At first, he pretended to not have heard me, and I repeated that I didn't like to be called “wiener”. He didn't say anything, went out to his truck, and came back, taunting me, and mocking me. He was provoking a fight. I didn't like how he was treating me with contempt, but I stood my ground, and spoke up for myself, for once in my life. He then pushed me. I pushed back. He swings a flying elbow at me, while saying “Don't hit me!”, which made no sense to me, at the time, since he was the one attacking me. I punched him in his arm, and he fell down into the corner of the living room, into his golf clubs. He pulls a golf club out. He pulls it back like he's going to hit me with it. I didn't think he would, but he had the crazy eyes, and he swung at my head, as hard as he could, missing me 2 times, and nicking my ring finger on my right hand. I quickly picked up a golf club that was lying on the ground, and lifting it up like I was intending on swinging, if he was going to continue. That's when he came back to Earth, and backed up into his room. Then he calls the police, and the Prosecutor, makes up a fanatical story about him being terrorized, and how everybody in the house was scared, and was in a hostage situation. I had also called the police, but I called Carroll County police, when he called Gallatin County police, and his police came, but mine did not (the property is on the line between the two counties). It turned out that my abusive father had a videocamera in the other room, and was recording everything. At first, he refused to give it to the authorities, but they forced him to. I was sent to jail, spent the night, and then had 3 separate trials over the same 30 second tiff, of which, my abusive father tried to murder me. Marvin Gaye Sr. killed Marvin Gaye Jr. for the same reason, because his son finally stood up for himself, and pushed him down.

I pushed for Family Counseling, but my abusive father didn't want that. He got my Mom to sign a waiver, saying it's okay to get his own separate counseling, with just him and with my two younger siblings. Family counseling is a no-brainer, but my Mother was willfully duped. Half of Americans believe their parents would have benefited from therapy. The whole “Attempted Murder By Golf Club” has crystalized all that I been thinking before. My “family” watched me get assaulted at least 5,000 times (18 years, daily violence, rounded down), without thinking it was a crime, or something to be concerned about. But the day I defend myself, I'm nearly murdered, sent to jail, forced into a public trial, for some more humiliation, had a restraining order filed on me, and was facing a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison for the 4th degree assault charge, which was dropped. Even when the counselor of the children said that the kids were not afraid of me, and did not consider me a threat, and me and my Mother testified, the Judge still sided with my abusive father. This is ironic because when I was in the house, my abusive father wasn't as tyrannical, since having another man in the house “checks” him. So, like the permanent scar on my ring finger on my left hand where the golf club nicked, now I got a permanent mark on my public record. Hate, pain, and violence is all this man knew, and my Mother has been pushing me to care for him, because “deep down inside”, he loves me. I don't believe it. I think she's been lying to me, because she's been lying to herself, and while it's easy to not think about my abusive father, it makes me sad to think about how cold and uncaring my own Mother was, for such a long time. There's been a slight change in her demeanor, and I am still in contact with her, but it still hurts. Eventually, I plea bargained down to “Harassment Communications”, not trusting the jury would listen, since my hometown had ignored my cries throughout my childhood, so I didn't expect them to change that pattern of indifference, 10 years later.

Since I had been abused during my formative years, these are wounds that will probably stay with me till the end, but that doesn't mean I have to be governed by them. I've walked into the Women's Crisis Center, got lots of great information that's set me on a path of change. I enjoyed counseling. Our friends and family counsel us on a daily basis, but actually having a professional give you insight is wonderful. When my counselor says “I believe you”, that takes a load off my shoulders, and it validates me. So while it's possible for victims of abuse to become abusers themselves, I have a compelling reason to not be a violent oppressor; moreso than a person with a regular, healthy upbringing. I can't stand any, and all, intimidation, physical or verbal, and I will always have a lifelong opposition to intimidation and bullying.. Also, being an oppressor goes against my soul, as it should with everybody, because to be an oppressor, one has to think of the victims who are exploited, as objects, and not as human beings. Oppressors dehumanizes others, which is why humanity can only come from the Oppressed.
