Anyway , the police forced me to come to court to testify against them, the cops towed my car and told me I could not get it back until after the trial, until I testified, and the day of court was the same day as my Best friends funeral, so I went to the funeral but soon as I got there the detectives called me and said they'd put a warrant out for my arrest if I didn't hurry up and get down to the court house... And guess what, they didn't even end up needing me that day.!!!! I sat there all day while the THUGS took pictures of me and made threats to me and followed me out the court house. So, I missed my friend funeral, for nothing..Me and this dude went to kindergarten together, we were Neighbors almost our whole lives, we played sports together, we were best friends.. The court system made me a victim once again, by forcing me to miss my best friends funeral... RIP Matt Koppers, you're missed! Thank you for your service, Marine!!! The courts let anyone in the court room, so as I'm up there on the stand, the shooter and like 15 of his gangster friends are all there in the court room getting a good look at me, taking pur pictures etc. They were following us after the court dates, they had pictures of my car, my license plate, pictures of my mom's work building, my girlfriends apartment building and pictures of one of my other cars while it was parked outside a store on the other side of town.

So right and I'm so glad u pointed this out. These types' tactics are sooo difficult to explain and something like 'plain 'ol gaslighting' barely scratches surface. Seems like this lil blip here gets a little closer to exemplifying how they roll. In most of life, friends/fam, etc. aren't around to hear (or it's done in front of others, with a 'look' or similar that only the victim has tuned into to; bc responding to that look, or knowing where his head is has allowed her to try to control a tiny bit of her safety) all that led up to her defending herself, maybe her lashing out, etc. All they know is what the perp allows them to see, laying another brick on the foundation of 'her being the problem' that he's been 'hinting' at to them. If she does not know that these types nor these tactics exist, she's going to assume he thinks & treats others similarly to her. She's going to internalize this in some type of way like this: "Wow, yeah he DIDN't say I accused him. What is wrong with me that I'm acting all defensive? Why did I totally read into ... wait... read into what, again? I don't even remember (cognitive dissonance occurs when ur 2 realities conflict; ie ur gut & experience vs the facts ur TOLD)... Wait.. where ARE his papers... DID I take them? Aw man, how would I feel if someone came at me all defensive and acted like I just did to him?! And for NO reason!!? Shoot, I REALLY need to work on myself and REALLY need to show him I care and I'm soooo sorry, baby (works even better when he acts hurt - which is against her internal values to do to another - coupled then ALSO with the dopamine she has been missing from him showing any emotion and/or only anger, stonewalling, etc. Hurt is closer to love, and would traditionally mean we are vulnerable to another)!" They know EXACTLY what they are doing. And I believe they have the 'time/energy' to twist all aspects/sides bc they have no emotion invested. And maybe even that they have been granted supernatural (the demonic kind) skills & insight. Once in a while they may have a total loss of control and lose their minds, but even that is usually not done in public. EVERYTHING is strategized, even things like ACTING out of control and plowing through a crowd of neighbors & families.

Because look at who the father is. She gave away her most precious asset, now she must live with the consequences of that choice. For, more than likely, the for the rest of her life.
