Post 3 : Trouble finds me, as always
I don’t really know where to begin, but I'll write it out.
John and I went to the pen because Todd was almost done work, so we went to wait for him.
There was this grandma with her grand-daughter there, and I was playing with the kid, she was like one year old, really cute and funny. So we were entertaining her, me john her aunt and her grandma.
I was fiddling with my hack, and she was all interested in it, so I started to play a bit, so she could have fun, she liked it. So I hit it around a few times.
Then the security guard came from behind me, and he said I was not allowed to play.
So I asked, why I am not allowed. He said, "You’re just not and then I asked if I could play outside. he said "no, not anywhere on property"
He had a huge lack of respect about him from the start, and I was trying to figure out where I stood, I did not know what the rules were and he knew, so I was asking, he took that to be "attitude". I simply wanted to know what I could/could not do. After all, the security guard is the one to ask.
At one point, I said I had been outside a few weeks ago and a kid drove by and threw an egg at me. "Where were you then?" I asked him.
Anyhow, then he says "alright I'm going to have to ask you to leave"
we were just talking I mean, Jesus. So I say "hold on, I’m just waiting for a friend. why do I have to leave"
he says "are you refusing to leave?"
"look,..." by the time I had even formulated my sentence in my head, he grabbed me and put me under arrest. I would not let him arrest me, I never made a move to hurt him, simply talked to him, and tried to reason with him. I kept saying "this is wrong, I didn't do anything" and "this is not moral. What are you doing, think about what you are doing"
anyhow, then 3 of them were there, taking me down, I had done nothing wrong ...only talked. And they took me down. I broke a tooth, they all fell on me, and my blood was everywhere, My chin was open.
I asked them to pick up my tooth piece (they did not), I was still really level headed, I tried to talk to them some more, but all I got was shoved and insulted, especially by the main one who started all of this. I turned around and spit at him, he hit me. And said "you have a disease"
I fail to wonder what disease I have, honour? ethics? I simply asked questions and got jumped. And then did not want to be taken in, I was trying to talk, why use force? I did nothing deserving of it.
Now I’m looking at court sessions, and I might get a record for this? Maybe even jail? Where is justice?
A man should be able to ask questions of a guard, especially if he represents the police, that is the point of them, to help us is it not?
Well I was released today thanks to charlotte and her mom. (my ex girlfriend)
all in all. I tried to entertain a little girl, and ended up in jail. go figure.
Would appreciate some help. Seems to me I finally had my life under control, and I was not angry at everything anymore, I love my girlfriend, I don’t hate the world, and I don’t hate everything. I was finally moving on, took me long enough. but I was finally making a life for myself.
OH, and I have been working for 3 weeks at green earth, doing HUGE shifts, doing this work they need to get done, and I was hoping to get hired permanent, so I worked my ass off, she ended up saying she would give me time. And turned out she was giving me full time position. ...but now I am not allowed at the pen any longer, SO I have no job anymore.
P.S. the grandma gave me her card because she could not beleive how bad I was treated. Apparently also a guy who was there gave his number to Todd and john, so I have like 4 witnesses. Don’t know if that helps me. Please give me advice and help.

I wrote the previous when I came home that very night.
My friend john who was there also was outraged at what happened, he feels guilty he did not do anything. He keeps a journal and feels the guard was out looking for blood
The woman who was there also feels the guard was out for blood.
I even feel the other guard could not get over how fast things escalated.
