Johnson skates, Thompson suffers!?

A piece about homeless-rights advocate Sean Thompson and his legal situation after the now infamous pie-hurling incident is in the Bee today.

To my mind, and likely that of most others’, the confrontation, where Johnson got pie and Thompson got a punch in the eye, should amount to a wash. Thompson got the worst of what happened at the school, so, Why not have the two guys shake hands and call matters even-Steven?

Consider the many levels of how unjust it would be for Thompson to get tagged with a felony, and spend some portion of a year in jail, while Johnson, Sacramento’s absent mayor, skates away unfazed.

Johnson is currently not earning the money he takes home as mayor. If the city council had proper respect for the citizens of the city, and the money that comes to the city from these citizens, through taxes of various kinds, they would impeach and convict Johnson and boot his lazy ass out of City Hall.

Johnson has been a catastrophe as mayor on many levels. Something like half the “work” he has done as mayor has been promoting himself and using assistants as laborers for Johnson’s advancement nationwide.

As of now, certainly, Johnson has disgraced himself on the local AND national stage. He has NO political future. But, since he greatly aided Kings’ ownership in stuffing hundreds of millions of dollars in their pockets, his future is secured. I would guess that Johnson will get some cushy job with the Kings or the NBA or somewhere, paying $10,000,000/yr.

Now, sure, Johnson won’t have the job for long, but he will pocket millions for three years or so before fully disappearing from public view.

The most-major reason that the Thompson-Johnson situation is a great injustice – even, just, as matters stand right now – is that Johnson has a history of just buying the silence of young females whom he’s sexually accosted. He avoids the scrutiny of the Justice Department, altogether, wholly because he is rich.

Thompson is homeless. He is dirt poor. The “justice” of an unjust legal system lands with full force on his head. It is an outrage. It is disgusting. It is unfair – un-just – to a spectacular degree.

It is known that pedophiles – men who force sex upon children – often have fifty to one-hundred episodes of forced sexual encounters that go unreported. These encounters are unreported because the violated girl (or boy) or a parent doesn’t want the child to endure the humiliation of a court trial on top of the humiliation of the episode when the child was abused.

According to the yellodyno website:
Pedophiles have a strong, almost irresistible, desire to have sex with children. The average pedophile molests 260 victims during his/her lifetime. Over 90% of convicted pedophiles are arrested again for the same offense after their release from prison.
There is no reason to suppose that Johnson or anyone else in Sacramento has abused a child that hasn’t come to the attention of the District Attorney’s office.  But we all should be aware that the problem of sexual abuse of children is, generally speaking, a much, much more-serious and -traumatizing problem than what the public perceives.

More obstacles revealed in effort to make Mather cottages habitable

Mold, asbestos and lead paint, oh my! The 35 cottages out at Mather Community Campus seem closer to being condemned today than ever again being inhabited. But the expectation that some of the cottages can and will be restored to house homeless families before spring abides. A report in the Sacramento Bee tells us ... Some [of the cottages] have extensive mold, a county analysis showed. It's not clear how the county planned to deal with lead paint and asbestos, [Rancho Cordova] Councilwoman Linda Budge said. Still, hope of getting some of the cottages in shape such that homeless families can move in is in play, though not before New Year's day.  Word of where the money might come from to make needed restorations has not been forthcoming, though it is known that the Winter Shelter Task Force hopes to hold a fundraiser to boost the pool of funds to meet the need to keep homeless people warm and safe. At the end of October, placing families, totalling 105 individuals, was

Ron Russell and Summerhills Realty

Readers of this blog should be aware that I am receiving some information that Summerhills Realty and someone named Ron E. Russell is using this blog as a reference in an effort to scam homeless people.  Be aware that Mr. Russell and his business is cited as a possible perpetrator of fraud by a website called Ripoff Report .  See this webpage .  Also, there is this claim of fraud against Ron Russell Properties at the website BizClaims - Latest scams, frauds and complaints . Please be aware that the information of being 'ripped off'' may be coming from only one source is coming from multiple sources, with perhaps as many as twelve persons/couples now pursuing legal action after paying thousands of dollars for services and receiving none of the services that were promised/contracted. While I know neither Mr. Russell nor Summerhills, I do know that an inordinate number of “in links” from readers of this blog have come via summerhillsrealestate.com for quite some time.  I

Loaves & Fishes implicates Buddhism and Jack Kornfield in its June Donations Plea.

The Sukhothai Traimit Golden Buddha was found in a clay-and-plaster overlaid buddha statue in 1959, after laying in wait for 500 years. It's huge and heavy: just under 10 feet tall and weighs 5 1/2 tons. At the beginning of their June newsletter , Loaves and Fishes relates a story, taken from the beginning of renowned Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield's 2008 book The Wise Heart: A Guide to the Universal Teachings of Buddhist Psychology . The first part and first chapter in Kornfield's book is "Part I: Who are you really?" and chapter 1 is called "Nobility: Our Original Goodness," which ought to serve as a clue to what the beginning of the book is about, not that that sentiment isn't strewn through-out the chapter, section and book such that what Kornfield is telling us should be crystal clear. Somehow, the not-ready-for-primetime management at Loaves & Fishes have managed to use Kornfield's wise and kindly words in a way that mangles th
