The Day the Traffic Did Not Stop in Hartford

At colleges and universities across the United States faculty and administrators, with enthusiastic support from misguided journalists, enforce a strict speech code prohibiting unkind words about black people. homosexuals and Muslims. Hate speech, as it is called, is permitted against Christians, Jews, white heterosexual men, and Israelis.

Minow, Law Students Condemn Perceived Anti-Semitism

At the richest university in the United States, with an endowment of $37 billion, Harvard University campus police, who are poorly trained, abuse their privileged state police power by harassing older civilians with disabilities, and breach their contract with the host city, Cambridge, MA, by harassing tenants they promised not to evict.

These events indicate the depravity of wealthy and powerful institutions in this nation, the twisted values where bullying is encouraged and tolerated. Young people are taught not to say or think bad thoughts. But it is acceptable behavior for wealthy and powerful people and institutions to ignore vulnerable people under attack by wealthy and powerful people and institutions, abusing their police powers. It is acceptable to stand by and watch while bullies with guns harass vulnerable citizens.

Establishment politicians wonder why Donald Trump is so popular.

[Updated: April 21, 2016]
In 1995 the Massachusetts rent control law was repealed by statewide referendum. Before the repeal Harvard University maintained a waiting list for non Harvard affiliates to get access to Harvard University housing. After the repeal the university made an agreement with the city of Cambridge, MA. Harvard gave about 100 affordable units (whatever that means) to the city. In return Harvard was allowed to restrict their property portfolio to only Harvard University affiliates. But they agreed not to evict any tenants who were in place when rent control was repealed. There were some abuses, when aggressive superintendents served notices to quit to non Harvard tenants. After the thirty day notice period the supers appeared at the doors of those tenants and demanded that they vacate their premises. Some young women were intimidated and they abandoned their belongings in the basement and left. Harvard employees tried three times to do that to me. Each time I asked if they had a court order for eviction. They did not and left.

Nonetheless it did not stop the superintendents and their police employees from questioning the presence of non Harvard affiliated tenants. I do not count the number of times I had to explain why I was a tenant in a Harvard owned building. It is understandable for the students who are only in the buildings for a year or two. But their police indicate they are extremely negligently trained. Being unaware of the agreement and not providing the same treatment to non Harvard affiliates as they do for Harvard affiliates shows their selective enforcement of laws. It may be a violation of the HUD Fair Housing Act.

But it also shows a conflict with the current White House's attempt to eliminate any kind of segregation, housing separating wealthy and poor residents. Here is a link to an essay about the current effort to integrate whole cities moving poor residents into wealthy neighborhoods.

Obama Administration Sticking it to Whitey
By Robert Weissberg


But Harvard University's deal with the city of Cambridge allows it to segregate its housing limiting it to students, faculty and staff. One defender of Harvard asked "Is Harvard the only university that does that?" No they are not. What happened to the benefits of diversity? 

But the university does not honor its part of the agreement. Their poorly trained and abusive police officers and employees conduct a relentless campaign of criminal harassment. One explanation is they try to persuade me to leave their property. It is not unknown in Cambridge, MA. Harvard campus police and their superintendents relentlessly harass an elder man with a disability, trying to provoke him so that they can evict him. Their police who nonsensically claim exclusive jurisdiction on their property refuse to assist this same elder when he is victimized by criminals at his premises. They pretend he is imagining the crimes, not a one time occurrence, but several times most recently in March 2016. On several occasions the campus police refused to respond at all. The emergency dispatchers assist these abuses of power denying access to police protection. But city and state officials refuse to hold Harvard accountable for their criminal abuses of this white elder man with a legal disability.

[Updated April 16, 2016 7:41 PM ET]
During the first week of April 2016 three crime families (Kennedy cult, Midwestern Outfit, and California crime Syndicate) and their government, police and psychiatric associates teamed up to conduct a brutal harassment campaign. They are mostly from New Jersey and New York. Primarily they consist of American hating, Jewish hating and Israeli hating Muslims, white hating black racist homosexuals, and a black lesbian employed by Harvard University campus police. (I have no evidence to suggest these Muslims have any connection to terrorist organizations.) Harvard University property management runs a criminal business renting out a unit above mine for these criminals to conduct their campaign of disturbing my sleep every one hour or just keeping me awake. They intrude into my computer as I try to use it. When I conduct errands they exhibit their despicable psychopathic beliefs and perhaps their practices. After 45 years of using young women as bait (I am now 70 years old) and when that failed, young men as bait, they now have begin using toddlers as bait. This is a clever idea from misguided psychiatrists who are unable to make a valid evaluation (contrary to law due to lack of consent, and relentless government and crime family lies),  after 40 years of trying. Their limited knowledge (though they believe they are omniscient) and extraordinary need to control others makes it imperative that they continue to use drugs, provocations, ridicule, insults, character assassination, humiliation and behavior conditioning trying to make me into a homosexual, and to try to have me arrested for some provoked criminal act. There is apparently a shortage of psychopaths and homosexuals in Massachusetts. They need to import criminal creeps from New York and New Jersey. Local state and US law enforcement officials in Massachusetts are aware of this ongoing criminal enterprise and stand by when they are not participating or providing material support. In politically correct Massachusetts, and at Harvard University both apparently run by homosexuals in the Kennedy cult, black homosexuals and Muslims are victims and cannot be designated criminals. They cannot even be suspected of crime because it would hurt their feelings. This allows the same criminals to conduct a relentless campaign against a white elder civilian with a legal disability for 45 years. On Friday April 15, 2016 they employed a prominent foreign government official who is also a psychiatrist to conduct an evaluation (contrary to law) at a public event. It shows how thoroughly corrupt and misguided even the most educated and highly regarded professionals can be.  

Police and their criminal political leaders say "He's crazy." in order to discredit me, for over 45 years in three states. Women I met and spoke with in Cambridge, MA declared to me emphatically, that Sarah Palin is NOT a woman. Black activists demand killing police, and are celebrated in churches and at Harvard University with funding from George Soros. Muslims who want to kill Americans, Jews, Hindus, Christians, Buddhists and to destroy Israel are celebrated and protected from criticism at Harvard University and in Cambridge, MA. They walk around freely, no one watches or harasses them, and are considered normal in Cambridge, MA host city for Harvard University, MIT and Lesley University. But they think of me as mentally ill.  Another clever lie these criminals broadcast is, "He's dead." "He's not real." "He's a body double." That assists their being ignored when I complain about criminal activity directed against me. That is the environment where I live.

Near the end of this previous entry,

http://enoughroom.blogspot.com/2016/03/holy-week-march-21-27-2016.html

is the initial report on continued and enhanced criminal abuse by Harvard University campus police. At first I thought it was more negligent training. But it is simply more abuse of privileged special state police powers. I suspect it is one more Harvard University lawyer directing criminal abuse of a vulnerable person. This is not a unique pattern of abuse by Harvard Law School lawyers. During several periods in the past 25 years, lawyers and students at Harvard Law School stirred up controversies trying to force me to become entangled in the court system. After being so caught up in three states where organized crime families, criminal police and lawyers, thwarted my efforts at relief in the court system, I realized the courts were not open to me. Crime families and police, (FBI too), ensured I did not win any cases. They paid off judges, or simply did not file papers as required by law. When taxpayers paid for lawyers after police frame ups, criminals paid the lawyers to work for the criminals not for me. When I prosecuted the lawsuits myself court clerks and judge's law clerks, often Harvard Law School graduates simply dismissed my efforts. On one occasion, e.g., Bercaw vs. Mandak, in the Supreme Court of the United States, the briefs were not even filed with court as required by law. The papers in state court actions, were diverted to private attorneys who used my research because of their stupidity or their laziness. Fake orders were stamped in the clerk's offices and sent to me as if they were real. 



Corrupt lawyers and clerks wasted all together about 8 years of my life by corrupting courts in three states. And when I write about it having given up trying to get elected officials to address court corruption, and getting free from corrupt police, politicians who are mostly under the control of Harvard University criminals, get upset when I criticize them. They all seem to be unaware of Lord Acton's observation that power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. They appear to believe that Harvard University employees are exempt from that aphorism. They think Harvard University employs only gene screened, morally superior and intellectually superior humans.



Harvard University produces politicians, see e.g., Barack Obama, Deval Patrick, Ted Cruz, Elizabeth Warren, Ken Reeves. Not even candidates with Harvard Law School degrees have any respect for the laws and the constitution. The lawlessness of the current White House and his appointees are remarkable among corrupt administrations. Not even the similarly corrupt journalists is there any concern about how the government steals taxpayer funds and corrupts the legal system. Harvard University collects money in obscene amounts and purchases land to build monuments to their egos, as Saddam Hussein used to do in Iraq. Harvard University awards degrees to privileged candidates, then promotes them in media propaganda. See the utopia they brought to the United States?

New York Giants Jay Bromley Interviewed By Manhattan's SVU, About Rape Allegations



New York Giants' Jay Bromley

[From article]
New York Giants defensive tackle Jay Bromley is facing possible assault charges after a woman accused him of raping her during a date that went horribly awry in a Midtown hotel.
[. . .]
Bromley and the woman have both spoken with investigators, with detectives from the NYPD Special Victims Unit interviewing Bromley Saturday, sources said.
The woman and Bromley [. . .] met via Instagram, ­according to sources.
Bromley, 23, picked up the 26-year-old woman at her Brooklyn home Friday, and the two hit a hookah bar in Manhattan.
They ended up in a room at the Hyatt Herald Square hotel in Midtown early Saturday.
“She said she willfully performed oral sex on him,” a source said. But then “something took place where she didn’t want it to take place.”
The woman started vomiting, and the sexual contact stopped,
[. . .]
An infuriated Bromley then forcibly grabbed the woman, turned her around and began having sex with her against her will, the woman alleged to police investigators.
“The victim told Mr. Bromley to stop, but he kept going,” the source said.
[. . .]
The woman was treated at Roosevelt Hospital. Saturday afternoon, detectives escorted a woman, her head and face covered by the hood of her jacket, in and out of the hotel.
A credit card in Bromley’s name was used to pay for the room, a police source confirmed.
[. . .]
Bromley, who grew up in ­Jamaica, Queens, played in 16 games for the Giants last season and notched 36 tackles.
The Syracuse University star signed a four-year, $3 million contract and is set to make $605,000 for the 2016 season.
[. . .]
Bromley was a crack baby born to a drug-addicted mom. His pimp father was sentenced in 1994 to 8¹/₃ to 25 years in prison for manslaughter after beating a prostitute and tying her to a basement radiator.
When Bromley was 3 months old, he was abandoned on a stranger’s doorstep in Jamaica. His father’s sister took in the boy with her family and raised him as her own.
He played football at Flushing HS and earned a scholarship to Syracuse University.
“They’re not going to give away money for sob stories, I don’t care how bad someone’s story is,” Bromley told The Post for a 2014 profile. “They ain’t just drafting people just because they got good stories.”
“You don’t forget where you come from or the things you see growing up.”

Massachusetts Public Records Law Will Be Fixed By Those Unaccountable to The Law?




Couple of teeny errors and tiny omissions by the foxy Honorable Representative. Records requests have a ten day response time. MGL Chapter 66. Municipalities ignore requests. Others deny any records exist, or delay, delay, delay. The legislature and the governor are exempt from public records law. The reason remains a mystery. Accountability? Guy asked the fox about security at the hen house. Fox replied, "Just fine. May need a few teeny, tiny tweeks but nothing major to worry about. I'm working on repairs myself." Current law allows attorneys fees at discretion of judge. Current law gives Attorney General discretion to file suit and force compliance. Seldom if ever done. Definition of public records needs to include special police departments, e.g., Harvard University campus police. See below report for more details. Contact Society of Professional Journalists, Region One. Sorry Rep. Fox, I mean Rogers, I think you missed the mark.

[From article]
the governmental agency that is the record holder is obligated to fill that request within 15 days. The record holder, however, may assess fees associated with the production of that record and is unlikely to be subjected to enforcement of the law, as there are neither strong enforcement mechanisms nor the ability to recoup legal fees by way of a court order.
[. . .]
concerns from municipalities about abusive requesters who make an unreasonable number of requests
[. . .]
records access officers
[. . .]
instances in which holders request further extensions, raise objections to the request or requester, or in which requesters appeal to supervisors.

allows the Attorney General to proactively intervene to seek these penalties. There will now be real risk of significant consequences for avoiding compliance

All Killed By Tsarnaev Brothers in April 2013 

[From article]
A jury's ruling today to sentence marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death is "justice" and a warning Boston "will not tolerate terrorism," survivors and police said after the verdict.
"This is nothing to celebrate. This is justice," said first-responder Michael Ward. “He wanted to go to hell and he’s gonna get there early."
The verdict against Tsarnaev, who'll turn 22 in July, was announced by U.S. District Court Judge George A. O'Toole Jr.'s courtroom clerk Paul Lyness. Tsarnaev showed no emotion as the verdict was read.
Marathon bombing survivor Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who lost a third of her left leg in the bombing, told the Herald she's "happy with the verdict."
"My heart goes out to everyone in the survivor community and to the victims' families," she added. "It's still a lot to process right now."
Only three of the 12 jurors bought into the defense argument that Tsarnaev was influenced by his older brother Tamerlan. The jurors unanimously agreed that Tsarnaev showed no remorse for the marathon attack and its aftermath that killed four young people, maimed 17 and injured hundreds.
The jurors unanimously voted to put him to death for the week of terror.

Anne Stevenson states, "we hope that Jahar has a road to redemption while he’s behind bars, which includes education and social interactions with others who can help him give peace to those he hurt." Stevenson arrogantly speaks for others, but does not reveal what children value the convicted mass murderer's life, as hinted in the headline. America granted him and his family asylum from an oppressive nation, showered them with gifts, gave them freedom. The brothers showed their gratitude by killing people who did him no harm. American veterans live in shelters and on the streets. What values are promoted by this essayist?

Baltimore, MD Police SWAT Team Employed To Capture Woman Who Shoplifted $8.50 of Groceries




[From article]
It was about $8.00 worth of groceries, but it cost police 7 hours and a lot of resources.
SWAT teams, a mandatory evacuation and a scissor lift–Baltimore County police pulling out all the stops to arrest a shoplifter who lodged herself above the highest walls of the Giant store in Arbutus.
Crews erring on the side of caution, fearing where the shoplifter was hiding could cause the ceiling to collapse.
Police say the woman climbed on top of some items, making her way into the area above the ceiling.
[. . .]
Corporal John Wachter says supermarket security detained the woman at around 3 o’clock Tuesday afternoon for stealing a bag of chips and some hair accessories totaling $8.50.

Private Police Out of Control In Virginia As In Massachusetts




Massachusetts special state police fall into this category of private police who operate under state statute. But the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that their records are not public. The chief judge at the time was Margaret Marshal, former General Counsel at Harvard University which employs many special state policemen. They are negligently trained and abuse their authority. Their jurisdiction is limited to the property of their employer, i.e., Harvard University. But they assert their authority on city streets and land adjacent to their property. They use their authority for personal and for political purposes. They do favors for faculty and administrators at the university. There is no way to address their abuses in Massachusetts because of the enormous influence of Harvard University on the state government and currently at the White House.

[From article]
Like more and more Virginians, Youlen gained his police powers using a little-known provision of state law that allows private citizens to petition the courts for the authority to carry a gun, display a badge and make arrests. The number of “special conservators of the peace” — or SCOPs, as they are known — has doubled in Virginia over the past decade to roughly 750, according to state records.
The growth is mirrored nationally in the ranks of private police, who increasingly patrol corporate campuses, neighborhoods and museums as the demand for private security has increased and police services have been cut in some places.
The trend has raised concerns in Virginia and elsewhere, because these armed officers often receive a small fraction of the training and oversight of their municipal counterparts. Arrests of private police officers and incidents involving SCOPs overstepping their authority have also raised concerns.
[. . .]
In neighboring D.C., a similar designation called “special police” requires 40 hours of training. Maryland officials leave instruction to the discretion of employers but have no requirements. Other states have similar systems.
[. . .]
No ­authority regulates the conduct of SCOPs or addresses complaints against them, although a court can revoke their commissions. The state does not track the number of arrests they make or citations they issue.
Most SCOPs patrol corporate campuses, work for neighborhood associations or perform code enforcement for counties or cities,
[. . .]
A 2012 study from a University of Illinois College of Law assistant professor found that private police are “chronically undertrained” and nearly a third nationwide face almost no regulation.

Harvard Campus Police, Private, Abusive and Unaccountable; Business As Usual At The MA Executive Office of Public Safety



Charlie Baker, Governor of Massachusetts

2015 brings a new Governor for Massachusetts. But the bureaucracy lags behind and acts the same as under the previous Governor. Over the past 25 years a group of Harvard University campus police and their employees conducted a brutal campaign of surveillance and harassment. It continues in 2015. Never having had any positive response to previous complaints, I stopped complaining to city and state officials. It was a waste of my time, something encouraged by police over 44 years, wasting my time, that is. They all say, "He's crazy." and ignore my complaints. Legally these depraved police employees are abusing a disabled person, with police protection. It is how the Harvard University campus police thugs and their employees are able to cover up their abuses. "He's crazy." covers it all. Bullies love to prey on vulnerable citizens, especially white male citizens, who are not homosexual.

I live on property owned and operated by the President and Fellows of Harvard College. When I experienced criminal acts, my calls to the Cambridge police dispatchers were diverted to Harvard University campus police, who did not respond to my calls. When I was able to get through to Cambridge police they did respond and took my complaint. But the Harvard University campus police (HUPD) did not stop their abuses.





An undergraduate instructor of mine, who now teaches at Harvard Law School told me many years ago if I had any trouble I should call the Harvard University General Counsel. When I experienced the first act of police abuse I called to the Office of General Counsel. There was no positive response, no response at all. No reduction in the harassment by HUPD.

The enabling Mass General Law statute reveals that HUPD are special state police and have jurisdiction to enforce state laws on the property of Harvard University. I noticed how they act outside of their jurisdiction regularly. When I gathered evidence of health hazards over which the city of Cambridge has jurisdiction and not the HUPD, three HUPD officers stopped me and questioned me. When I explained to them that they were negligently trained they became sarcastic, asking me if I was going to train them. I've written many times about this problem and spoke to the city government and to the police in the city of Cambridge. It is a police problem which the city police enable by ceding jurisdiction to HUPD even when they do not have it.

It is unlikely the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety will change the way that HUPD operates. But I want them to stop harassing me. I am not charged with any crime. I have no notice of any allegations against me. But the HUPD freely harasses me and follows me. The last instance was on Thursday January 29, 2015.




At about 3:30 PM I called to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety MEOPS. The receptionist referred me to Lisa Morales, said to be an executive assistant. Her telephone greeting names Andrea Cabral as the Secretary of Public Safety. According to the state web pages Thomas G. Gatzunis, is the current Commissioner. I do not know the difference between the Secretary and the Commissioner. But on my last visit to the MEOPS it was explained to me that the MEOPS does not have jurisdiction over local police. But It does have jurisdiction over state police and the special (campus) state police. 



Thomas G. Gatzunis, Massachusetts Commissioner of Public Safety

Nonetheless Lisa Morales left a voice mail message telling me that the campus police are under the State office of Education. I left a voice mail for her that the state makes the HUPD special state police and thus they are under the MEOPS. The next day she called again stating in a voice mail that she may have someone to refer me to. Aha! The bureaucratic plot thickens.

I know a lot about giving citizens the run around. I've experienced it over many years in large institutions and government agencies.Often it is not intentional, but incompetence. I do not know what it is in this case. I stopped interacting with government as a result of their disinterest in addressing abuses by police. I do not participate in the lawless protests on state highways. I am not a supporter of the "black lives matter" movement which slanders police. But I do object to the abuses of police power for personal and for political purposes which is what the HUPD does regarding me.

I read one book about bureaucracy that explained that the best time to obtain redress and to seek changes is when there is a new administration, e.g., a new governor and his new team. Thus I will send this as a letter to the new commissioner. If there is a response, I will update this post at that time.

Amazingly Speedy Justice


Second Amendment does not say only rational people can bear arms. It says the right of people not rational people. What is truly amazing is that within 2 days the DA OK'd the murder. Why do criminal trials take two years or more? Does it have anything to do with who the victim is?

City Police Have Jurisdiction Over All


Harvard's prestige and money dazzles small-minded journalists who promote popular misconceptions of law. Harvard campus cops (special state police officers and deputies sheriff) do not have exclusive jurisdiction on Harvard property. They have state police powers only on Harvard property. They do not have jurisdiction to enforce city ordinances. Cambridge and Boston police have jurisdiction on Harvard property. Harvard likes to keep all criminal matters under their control to prevent embarrassing events becoming public (see e.g., the poisoning of med students in August). Is research no longer fashionable among journalists?
