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.

William Gregory was freed in 2000 when newly available DNA
testing showed he had been unjustly convicted seven years earlier for rape and
attempted rape, he sued the city of Louisville and the state and won
settlements totaling $4.6 million.

Edwin Chandler was awarded by a Louisville jury of $8.5
million.
Major told WAVE 3 he hopes this case spurs lawmakers and
legal experts to take a closer look at the death penalty and legislation that
dictates how police interrogations are conducted.
Eight-and-a-half million dollars for nine years a Louisville
man never should have spent behind bars -- that's the settlement reached
between the city and a man convicted and then exonerated for murder. It’s the
largest wrongful-conviction settlement in Louisville in years.

In 1982, Michael VonAllmen was arrested and charged with
rape and related crimes. After serving 11 in prison for the crime, he was

VanAllman sued the police department over the case, claiming misconduct had led
to his false conviction.
Judge it!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

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?

Clarence Davis vs. Kentucky Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance, insurance dispute.
1990. http://www.americantowns.com/ky/warsaw/organi...
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.

Carroll County Water District vs. Whitehorse Development vs. Gallatin County Water District
Mr. Smith will testify about the current boundary of the District with the 1983 and 1998 boundary changes. He will establish for the record the physical boundaries of the District utilizing maps and charts previously filed with the Commission, and indicate where Gallatin County
Water District (“GC WD”) has intruded upon the District’s boundaries with its water line extension. By way of background, he will explain the capabilities of the District and its financial investment in Gallatin County which was made in an effort to provide water at the request of the then-Gallatin County Judge Executive Clarence Davis to the area of the county that was not served with water. He will explain to the Commission that when the District boundary was enlarged to include a portion
Df Gallatin County by consent of the Carroll and Gallatin County Judge Executive, the District managing board was expanded to include voting members from Gallatin County.
"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)
Saturday, July 28, 2012
“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.
Kids Named "Junior" Have Narcissists As Parents
Thursday, June 14, 2012
Mao
Zedong said he saw his abusive father as the dictator, and him, and
his mother and sisters as the poor peasants, and he wanted the
peasants to overthrow the State, just as he wanted his mother and
sister “peasants” to overthrow his abusive father. In Paulo
Freire's Pedagogy of the Oppressed, we see how The Oppressor
does not acknowledge humanity in the Oppressed, instead they see them
as objects. Humanity can only come from the Oppressed. George Carlin
said on folks who allow others to call them Junior: “I have no
respect for any man who allows people to call him Junior, I
immediately think he's a chump and a loser. To me, Junior means lower
than, lesser than, beneath. Putting “Junior” on a kid's name is
just a way for a father to control and demean his son and prevent him
from having an identity of his own. I don't like that whole
cult-of-the-father thing in the first place. But apparently some
guys' self esteem is just low enough that they accept it. I have no
respect for them.” [page 20, When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?]
On
April 31, 1984, Marvin Gaye II, the Superstar, who sang “Let's Get
It On”, and “What's Going On?”, which starts out, “Mother
Mother, there's too many of you crying. Brother Brother Brother,
there's far too many of you dying. You know we've got to find a way
to bring some love in here today. Yeah, Father Father, we don't need
to escalate. You see, the War is not the answer, for only Love can
conquer can Hate. You know we've got to find a way, to bring some
love in here today. Picket lines, and picket signs, don't punish me,
with brutality...”, was shot by Marvin Gaye “Senior” (adults
don't act like he did), who was a nobody loser, that nobody in the
world gave a fuck about, except Marvin Gaye II's Mother. Marvin Gaye
“Junior” was shot and murdered by his own father, his own flesh
and blood, in the West Adams district of Los Angeles at his house in
Gramercy Place. Marvin Gaye the Nobody was arguing with his wife,
Alberta Gaye, and Marvin Gaye the Superstar intervened. The argument
escalated, just as Marvin Gaye the Superstar had warned us it might
in his song “What's Going On?”, and Marvin the Superstar knocked
the old man Marvin the nobody down. Faced with the humiliation of
being knocked down by a person he had considered a piece of shit
worthless loser his whole life, Marvin the Nobody immediately goes
into his room, grabs a pistol, and comes back, and shoots two shots
right into Marvin Gaye II, killing him immediately. This reminds me a
lot about my old man, and it's not surprising to find out that
Kentucky is the
#1 State in the US for Mental Illness. Fascist psychopaths are
everywhere.
Marvin
Gaye the Superstar was pronounced DOA, dying one day before his 45th
Birthday (April 2). Marvin Gaye the Nobody was asked if he loved his
son, and snidely, he remarked, “Let's just say I didn't dislike
him.” Marvin the Nobody also had some weird habits regarding
wearing women's dresses, and having a sick perverted side to him,
that questions his sanity, and sexuality. Perhaps as a repressed Gay
Man, Marvin Gaye the Nobody couldn't ever actually bring himself to
say that he loved his Son, since he was a Man, and he would have felt
“gay” for doing so. I remember my Mother telling me that she knew
how to raise girls, you just love them, but she was perplexed by how
to raise a boy. Um, you love them all the same... that's how.
Alberta
paid for the bail bond of $30,000 to get Marvin Gaye the Nobody out
of trouble. After pleading “No Contest” to a Voluntary
Manslaughter case, and copping a Plea Bargain, Marvin the Nobody
Son-Murderer, was sentenced to 6 years in prison, which was
suspended, and instead, he got five years probation. So who knows if
he served 1 minute in prison for his crime. During the sentencing, a
deeply emotional and frail Marvin, Sr. told the court that he
regretted killing his son. As quoted during the sentencing, Marvin
the Nobody Son-Murderer said, “If I could bring him back, I would.
I was afraid of him. I thought I was going to get hurt. I didn't know
what was going to happen. I'm really sorry for everything that
happened.” One expert said that the reason why Marvin the Nobody
Son-Murderer killed his son, was because of the humiliation of having
his son push an old man down, and since Marvin the Nobody the
Son-Murderer only thought his Son should get hit, and beat up, and
disrespected, it was too much for Marvin Gaye the Nobody Son-Murderer
to handle, and so he murdered the only Marvin Gaye Superstar that
ever existed.
When
Macaulay Culkin was younger, his father was making him sleep on the
couch, and making his Superstar son live like a destitute. Like Joe
Jackson, Kit Culkin was living his dreams through his son, since both
of them were failures in their own lives. Macaulay Culkin,
eventually, got a lawyer, emancipated himself, and gained custody of
his siblings. Speaking of Kit Culkin, and Macaulay Culkin's book,
Junior,
Macaulay said, “I think there’s two different fathers that I
have. I have my father, and I have the one in my head. The real one
is gone and should be gone. But I think I was looking to put the one
in my head to rest. Kit Culkin would black out all the terrible
things that he did, and that hurt me more, because he’d go to bed
at night thinking he was a good person. People do bad things in their
lives. And those sort of things are forgivable. That’s half the
point of having confession in church—you need to be able to fess up
to what you’ve done. He just couldn’t. It was some kind of
mechanism in him or some kind of craziness. I knew from a very early
age that I better take notes on him. Notes on how not to be, notes on
how I don’t want to be when I grow up.” In a sense, Culkin has
aged in reverse.
When
looking at how Michael Jackson dealt with his personal issues,
Macaulay Culkin decided to go a different direction. “One
of the things that I always thought is that I could have turned out
that way. I’m a fairly sheltered person, but I could have just put
up a fortress around myself, bought a big chunk of land somewhere,
and said, ‘Fuck all y’all!’ But I made a decision when I was 14
that I was going to live life, where I think he made the opposite
decision. It’s a cool little world that he has, but at the same
time, it’s become a little more distant from reality.”
Michael
Jackson, deprived of a real children, and love, as a child, used his
entire life to give love to the millions of oppressed all around the
world. Michael Jackson even wrote a love song to a mouse named Ben,
because he loved and cared so much, about all living creatures. Joe
Jackson, however, shows no remorse for his assaults on his own
children. When asked about the abusive household, he said, “Yeah, I
beat him all the way to the bank.” Not only was he proud and glad
of what he did, but seemed to not acknowledge that he was the main
culprit in Michael's demented world. Child molestation charges aside
(which are serious charges), Michael had a Neverland Ranch that was
away from the world, much like William Randolph Hearst's Xanadu, the
newspaper' mogul's secret land resort. Michael Jackson turned inward
on himself, and Macaulay said that he was going to do the opposite,
and “live life”.
From
a young age Jackson was physically and mentally abused by his father,
enduring incessant rehearsals, whippings and name-calling. Jackson’s
abuse as a child affected him throughout his grown life. In one
altercation—later recalled by Marlon Jackson—Joseph held Michael
upside down by one leg and “pummeled him over and over again with
his hand, hitting him on his back and buttocks”. Joseph would often
trip up, or push the male children into walls. One night while
Jackson was asleep, Joseph climbed into his room through the bedroom
window. Wearing a fright mask, he entered the room screaming and
shouting. Joseph said he wanted to teach his children not to leave
the window open when they went to sleep. For years afterward, Jackson
suffered nightmares about being kidnapped from his bedroom.
“I never beat him,” Joe is quoted as saying. “I whipped him
with a stick and a belt. I never beat him. You
beat someone with a stick.” A Kentucky Cop told a friend of mine,
“You can beat your kids, just don't leave marks on them.” Child
slavery is still legal on “family” farms, and all abusive
slave-driving farmers know this.
Michael
Jackson named all three of his children "Michael"
(including his daughter): Prince Michael, Prince Michael II, and his
daughter, Paris Michael Katherine. Michael
Jackson took revenge on his father for years of abuse by cutting him
out of his will. The singer made no mention of Joe Jackson in a will
drawn up in 2002. He said he became so scared of Joe he would vomit
when he saw him. Mr Jackson later dismissed the claims, declaring:
“Yeah. He regurgitates all the way to the bank.”
Nathan
Maynard I shot Nathan Maynard II in Martin County, Kentucky. Tommy W.
Woodard II from Harlan County Kentucky shot and killed himself after
his girlfriend broke up with him. Why
would a person named Junior kill themselves ? There's many reasons.
“Junior” signifies ownership, as in, “my kids”, as if humans
are property, and it also immediately gives the young person an
inferiority complex since immediately he has to live in his father's
shadow. Since their Father thinks of him as a total schmuck, so will
the rest of the family, because to hate those folks who your father
hates, is how they think they will get to receive his love. The
reason why anybody shoots themselves (and yes, we've all thought
about it once or twice before) is because they see no other way out.
They're trapped. Gay people shoot themselves. Veterans returning from
the Afghanistan War are killing themselves, when faced with
reentering civilian life. Tommy W. Woodard Junior in Harlan County
Kentucky killed himself, June 2012.
George
Foreman, the only illegitimate son of a large family, was so
traumatized by standing out in this way, that he wanted no confusion
as to who his children were. They would always know who their daddy
was, so he named them all George. A bit extreme, but at least he
admits where it came from. It's clear how narcissistic Foreman
actually is, when you see that his children's names are George
Foreman Jr., George Foreman III,
George Foreman IV, George Foreman V and George Foreman VI. George
Foreman's daughters Freeda George and Georgetta might add that it
doesn't help to force things — girls named after their dads just
sometimes makes things awkward, as President Barack Obama's mother
might have said. Named for her father, her full name was Stanley Ann
Durham.
Charlie
Manson Sr., who was raised in Kentucky, as a racist Confederate
youth, living in a speakeasy with his underage mother, who had the
baby out of wedlock, the father was nowhere to be seen. Manson had a
son, Charlie Manson Jr. (aka Jay White), who eventually blew his
brains out. Lil Charlie Manson killed himself on June 29, 1993, on a
desolate section of highway in Burlington, Colorado, just west of the
Kansas state line. He died at 10:15am, on exit 438 on Interstate 70.
Rosalie Jean Willis, a waitress, is Charlie Manson Jr.'s mother, and
on his way back to Ohio, for some reason he pulled off the side of
the road and shot his self in the head. Charlie Manson Jr. used the
name “Jay White” in life, Charlie Manson Jr's son said: “He
just couldn't let it go,” reckons Freeman. “He couldn't live it
down. He couldn't live down who his father was.”
George
W. Bush, and Martin Luther King Jr. had to outlive their father's
shadows, and sometimes they are able to beat that massive pressure.
Sometimes not. Look at Charles Manson Jr, or Martin Luther King III,
who is a total tool, just dick riding on his father's coattails, and
MLK's legacy of the Promised Land is a torch that somebody else will
have to pick up. Levar Burton, the Reading Rainbow guy, was named
Levardis Robert Martyn Burton, Jr. Randall Hank Williams aka Hank
Williams, Jr. aka Bocephus was a Hank Williams impersonator for
several decades before finally breaking away, and working on his own
material. He's had bouts with drug and alcohol abuse. Al Gore is a
Junior, but has dropped that designation in his professional life.
John F. Kennedy Jr. had a good run, until he died, mysteriously.
Frank Sinatra also was a Junior. A Father's reputation can either act
as a shadow, or a light, depending on the Father. Being a descendent
of John F. Kennedy would be better than being Charles Manson's child.
Depending on who a Junior is born to can have completely different
consequences for each of their lives.
Henry
John Deutschendorf, Jr., a German-American also became famous, as
John Denver. John Denver sang the songs “Rocky Mountain High”,
“Leaving On A Jet Plane”, and “Country Roads”. John Denver's
old man was a Lieutenant Colonel for the Air Force named Henry John
Deutschendorf, Sr. Being an Air Force kid, having to move around
frequently, prevented John Denver from having any real friends, since
folks understood that Air Force kids really wasn't homespun. John
Denver's Irish Catholic and German maternal grandmother was the one
who imbued Denver with his love of music. In his autobiography, Take
Me Home,
Denver described his life as the eldest son of a family shaped by a
stern father who could not show his love for his children. In High
School, John Denver was an insecure mess, “a little round flat dot
with no edges and no depth”. John Denver was always trying to
please his father. But John Denver's fathers was never impressed with
his Son. “I always thought my old man wanted me to a football
player or a mechanic instead of a musician. He spanked (assaulted) me
once for not changing a tire right. I felt like I was stupid.”
Henry John Deutschendorf I admits that he was “kind of” rough on
the kids, BUT “it was kind of difficult to be commanding 40 or 50
officers everyday and then switch that off when I got into the
house.” One month, during his High School days, John Denver refused
to talk. Later on, John Denver ran away to Los Angeles, and when his
father reached him, he said that his son's eyes looked like an
animal's, since he was scared to death.
The
38th
President of the United States, Gerald Rudolph “Jerry” Ford II
was born Leslie Lynch King II. Because of Leslie Lynch King's
alcoholism and abusive behavior, Dorothy Gardner left him when
President Gerald Ford was 16 days old. Gerald Ford only saw his old
man once in High School. They had a superficial conversation, and
then Leslie handed President Gerald Ford $25, and left. A few days
after Gerald was born, Leslie Lynch King I came into the bedroom with
a Butcher knife, and threatened to kill them, her, the baby, and the
nurse. Leslie Lynch King Senior had a temper underneath his charm,
and beat his wife, President Gerald Ford's Mother, several times.
Plus he was a liar. Not surprisingly, Leslie King refused to pay
child support. Later on, Dorothy Gardner King married Gerald Rudolff
Ford, when President Gerald Ford was 4 years old. They called Leslie
King I's son “Gerald Ford Jr.”, and then when President Gerald
Ford turned 22, he had it legally changed to honor his Step-Father,
who had raised him. Gerald Ford described his biological father as “a
carefree, well-to-do man who didn't really give a damn about the
hopes and dreams of his firstborn son”.
President
Bill Clinton was born William Jefferson Blythe III, named after
William Jefferson Blythe II, a traveling salesman who died in an
automobile accident three months before Bill was born, in Hope,
Arkansas. “Billy” Clinton adopted his Stepfather's surname when
he was 15 years old. Roger Clinton I was a gambler and an alcoholic,
who regularly abused his wife and half-brother, Roger Clinton II (a
Junior), to the point where Bill Clinton had to intervene, by
threatening violence.
A
cousin of mine, John Kunkle, was born to Alice Gripshover and John A.
Wagner, but after the Divorce, Alice change little John Wagner Jr.'s
name to John Kunkle, after her new husband, Lawrence Kunkle. So John
Kunkle did what President Gerald Ford did (and later Bill Clinton),
and adopted his Stepfather's name. Another cousin of mine, Mike
Dearing II, changed his name BACK to his original father's name,
after his Mother had changed his name to Lemming, his Stepfather's
name. So John Kunkle and Mike Dearing (and Robert Dearing, and Joseph
Dearing) took the opposite approach of each other. One adopted his
stepfather's name, whereas the other threw off his stepfather's name,
and readopted his biological father's name. Which one is right ?
Ultimately, people should be called whatever the fuck they want to be
called, so both of them are right. A Stepfather could be worse, or
better, than the Biological Father, and a person can choose to be
called by either of their names, or anything else they want to be
called.
Tom
Cruise, born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV, grew up in poverty, in a
Catholic family dominated by an abusive father whom Cruise has
described as a “Merchant of Chaos”. Tom Cruise's father, Thomas
Cruise Mapother III, used to beat up Tom Cruise, as a child, like the
bully/coward he is. Tom Cruise says of his abusive father: “He was
the kind of person where, if something goes wrong, they kick you. It
was a great lesson in my life—how he’d lull you in, make you feel
safe and then, bang! For me, it was like, 'There's something wrong
with this guy. Don't trust him. Be careful around him.”
Kurt
Vonnegut, Jr. was born in Indianapolis, IN to third-generation
German-American parents, Kurt Vonnegut Sr and Edith Lieber. When Kurt
was 21 years old, on Mother's Day in 1994, Edith Lieber took too many
sleeping pills, and went out like Marilyn Monroe. His father
virtually gave up on life, and from these origins, Kurt Junior
learned a “bone-deep sadness”. Kurt Vonnegut Jr. said that the
only difference between Hitler and George W. Bush, is that Hitler was
elected. Vonnegut was captured at the Battle of the Bulge, and was in
an underground prison when the bombing of Dresden was unleashed. He
was a part of the 106th
Infantry
Division in England.
Recently,
in Eastern Kentucky, William “Clyde” Gibbons III was caught in
Kentucky, who killed 3 women.

Robert
Lemming likes to yell at his wife, and treats her like dogshit. Named
his baby, his property, Robert Jr, and calls him RJ, like RJ
Reynolds. Robert acting a fool, and when Mom spoke out about it,
Rosie said she should leave. Rosie also told Bill to leave when he
was hitting Robert. She was right about that one. She's wrong about
letting Robert become a Bill. Teresa said that similar violence
happened in Rosie's home, so maybe that's Rosie's problem. She had
lots of power, then her children grew away, and now she's doesn't
have that power, plus there's the “empty nest” syndrome. She
didn't have the power, nor did she have her children. The faces of
abused children, in pictures, are uniformly sad, and haunted looking.
RJ has that same haunted, sad look. That's because he's getting beat
up, and nobody gives a fuck about him. Feeling inferior is one thing,
but being told, directly, that you're inferior, and being smashed by
violence... no, these beasts aren't civilized, nor is this love. I
don't see any good coming from this situation. They don't care for
his body, so how could they claim they care about his dreams ? His
thoughts ? His philosophy ? They don't, nor will they, ever.

I
am not a fan of “juniors”, or the parents who puts that label on
their children. They want them to have an inferiority complex. No
real man will let any other man call them “Junior”. I don't think
any child should have to put up with being Little X. He's not Little
X, he is a person in his own right, not just a clone or reflection of
X and therefore should have a name and identity of his very own.
People who named their children after themselves, in a culture that
celebrates individuality, is only showing how egotistical and selfish
and narcissistic those people are. They are telling the world that
they only love themselves, and that's it. A kid already has the
parent's last name, and he or she is their own person - why shouldn't
they get their own name? A 'junior' or number tacked on at the end
only makes it worse - it goes from being egotistical to downright
insulting (sort of like saying the kid is somehow less than the
parent).
Some
say that naming a kid Jr is a way to carry on the family name. No,
the best way to carry on the family tradition is to build
bonds, share stories, and capture family history in meaningful ways.
Take pictures. Record oral histories. Keep some symbolic belongings.
Also, have a loving home and environment for them to grow up in. Plus
there's residual
reverberations. How arrogant it is for person to name their children
after themselves. That's a decision that reeks of a peculiar
overreaching self-importance. As if it's not enough that children
share their parents' genes, some parents think their kids should bear
the same first name! What makes any parent think she or he is that
special? Plus having same-name kids shows how stupid the parents are,
and demonstrates their total lack of creativity.
