Blessed are the Homeless For They are Free

The first time that I saw a homeless man was in Grand Central Station in New York City, NY.  The gentleman was passed out on the stairway.  People were walking right by him getting on and off the trains.  In my mind,  I saw a man in need of help.  My first instinct was natural.  I was "concerned" for another human being.  I wondered if this man was dead or alive.  There were no mobile phones back then. I appeared to be the only one making such a fuss about a man being passed out.  Then a kind stranger said to me that the man was probably homeless and sleeping, and that it would be safer to leave him alone. I took this stranger's advice.  From that point on, I learned to ignore the homeless population.  It was the safe thing to do.

Now, twenty years later, I, like many of you, have also ignored the prison system because I felt only bad people were trapped in it.  It was the safe thing to do.

Now, it is the time of awakening. 

Ignoring mass incarceration is no longer the safe thing to do. 

People are being railroaded into mass incarceration for crimes that they did not commit on a regular basis regardless of educational background. The traps are constantly being reset.  Now, I have a cousin trapped in the system with a life sentence for crime(s) that he did not commit.  I am being told that it happens all the time.  How can modern day slavery be commonplace in 2016?  How can people turn a deaf ear to allow this injustice to continue?  Surely, people must see that this "organized criminal injustice system" becomes stronger every single time someone gets railroaded without any contest.  The court systems are out of control in towns such as Augusta, Georgia, USA with erroneous arrest dates on file, missing trial transcripts, and other corrupt malpractices.

Mass incarceration makes homelessness look like a "walk in the park" for at least, the homeless are

FREE.

It is the right thing to do.

Augusta, GA: Was Burglar Railroaded with Rape Charges?

(Assistant) District Attorney Ashley Wright states "I don't think that I can make him anything but LWOP. Sorry." 

(i.e. LWOP means life without parole.)

Inmate Michael C. Blocker says that he thought that he was signing a plea deal for "Burglary" only -NO RAPE.  So what if the only count on this "Defendant's Change of Plea" was count #1 Burglary when the defendant signed?  Suppose Count #2 Rape and Count #3 Kidnapping were added to this document AFTER the defendant signed. #Railroaded

AGAIN, Inmate Michael C. Blocker says that he thought that he was signing a plea deal for "Burglary" only -NO RAPE.  So what if the "Burglary 1-20 years" was the only offense listed in line item #6 of this "Plea of Guilty (Nolo Contendere)" form when the defendant signed?  Suppose "Rape 10-20 or Life years" and "Kidnapping 1-20 years" were added to this document AFTER the defendant signed. #Railroaded

AGAIN, Inmate Michael C. Blocker says that he thought that he was signing a plea deal for "Burglary" only -NO RAPE.  So what if "Burglary" was the only unlawful act listed in line item #31 of this "Plea of Guilty (Nolo Contendere)" form when the defendant signed?  Suppose "; kidnapping ; rape" were added to this document AFTER the defendant signed. #Railroaded

Inmate Michael C. Blocker says (Assistant) District Attorney Ashley Wright was doing a LOT of writing before handing paperwork over to Judge James G. Blanchard, Jr. #Railroaded

The State could have wrapped this case up in 2007 by offering a "plea deal for burglary only," but (Assistant) District Attorney Ashley Wright and District Attorney Daniel J. Craig may have had another agenda for defendant and repeat (burglary) offender Michael Blocker.

As mentioned in a previous article on this blog, the rape case was EXTREMELY weak WITHOUT any report of an internal vaginal DNA Match. http://applebaumparadigm.blogspot.com/2015/12/2007-augusta-ga-rape-case-revisited.html

 As far as the kidnapping charge goes, initial charges were Rape and Burglary only.  Kidnapping Charge was added later.
