Quit Trying To Fool Me 'Feds'!
[The following letter was written at the end of July in 2015. Since that time I have noticed a greater police sensitivity when the media reports on curbing violent activity in dealing with the criminally insane. I am saying that now there may be more police training on how to handle violence from insane people. This is not to say that all shootings have diminished -- but that as reported there seems to be less killing of mentally ill persons.]
Here shown is the letter:
To the 'Sheriffs' of the World:
I had first written an eBook on Mental Illness -- Bob Does Everything Backwards: Writing Out of an Illness
and you have tried to test me if I would be violent -- or even 'jihad' violent. Give Me A Break Will You!?
You sent me a Pakistani girl via the Internet to see if I would fall for 'Taliban jihad' stuff. You thought you were tempting me. You made me talk about violence and ask why people shoot up others in schools, churches, playgrounds, movie theaters and public places. Why do you do this? How long are you going to be tempting the very ones that need help? Someone should make 'You' the example.
I'll tell you why these things happen. Your whole system is based on isolation. Isolation is the first step towards stigmatization which happens over & over in our society. Certainly I am not impressed with cops, feds, society or anyone else who is bias towards those with social needs. These are the tendencies and even tactics which you use to probe "unstable" people who, in fact, just need to grow and learn. Why do you make people move towards the bad? Where is your compassion?
At least I've got a strong backbone to put up with your crap. Others not so strong buckle and lose their lives -- or buckle in other ways and pick up weapons like guns. Then where are you? Yes you are saying "Tsk,Tsk -- poor souls" or much worse you jump into your 'rescue fantasies' and with uniforms become nothing more than vigilantes.
I am sick of how business and justice are 'accomplished' in this country. All you do is act to isolate then wait until the stigmatized person acts out only to be arrested or shot. When you have waited long enough your 'rescue fantasy' will be too late as well. Then you will hear your own "Wailing", and then will all of us hear those always failing words,"It was unfortunate, but...."
Okay let's all calm down -- I will too!
Look, I have written a book about mental illness. It says a lot -- it reads well. Why are you so afraid of telling me that I write clearly and well? This book needs to be read by many. Here is the title: Robert N. Franz"The Stigma of the Mentally Ill". You need to buy it and review it as I need reviews. I get sick of your empty promises and "to-reads" which I see too often on Goodreads.com. I now have added the book to this blog post. The Stigma of the Mentally Ill: Bob Does Everything Backwards
Finally, I am able to show you the reader my title and cover. I am relieved that once again this work can be considered as highly readable nonfiction. Thank you.
Perhaps I get too involved in the emotion of the argument. Perhaps I feel strongly that leading the vulnerable and unstable to commit crimes is so very unjust. Actually, I only hope that people will learn a better way before making a personal dramatic permanent blunder -- costing a life when such lives do not have to be lost.
I am bound and determined to continue onward. If I have to I'll talk to everyone I may meet and sell each a copy of my book "mano a mano".
Who am I fighting? Those who do not want to see vulnerable people get their due chances.
So much could be accomplished in this country if only we could accept everybody -- have all of us take on decent roles -- and act in the public's interest. Let's get to it. Here is the link to obtain my book -- amzn.to/1R1Oayq. Please go to it!!
[On May 3, 2016 I witnessed KYW CBS 11:00pm News, Philadelphia, PA report on the new training that the Philadelphia police were implementing which dealt with high stress situations. Not only were police body cameras used but actual scenarios were played out and rehearsed. This all was done to save the lives of everyone! You cannot ask for a better response from those who desire to truly keep the peace! This first sign could mean that with more community work our cities and society may get to a better place!]
Sincerely written, and
Respectfully submitted,
