A common tactic for people on the prowl is to interject themselves into a new culture (for them) which they figure that nobody else is all too interested in since they're not all up in enmeshing themselves into others' business so much.

Sorta comparative, or similar to the dog-in-the-manger concept where the cultural appropriation is still present but I suppose there's something being done, or impersonating, pretending, etc. I seriously knew a man who got involved in having a career (job) working in the justice field, probation (or something) but he worked with offenders in some capacity and then turned out he was one too. Maybe figure I must be hokey joking or making this up but I don't exaggerate. A woman friend of mine, also a veteran, and absolutely from the city here, knew the man too. (He lived in Northglenn as well, was the thing.)

Incidentally, the term "dog-in-the-manger" has been used in literary works, namely (what I personally know of) is Fyodor Dostoevsky, but I can't recall which book exactly. I'd like to bring that point up to young students, that there is much to be gained by classic literature since the same social dynamics have always existed. Ancient China and their plight with being "left behind" due to their writing system is important for U.S. to know as well. Enough of the hokey xenophobia — if people haven't learned by now that it's up to the proletariat to report up the hierarchy to persuade, influence, coerce them into relenting.

I have more information concerning the Colorado HB26-1285 and its inherent problems at https://kylemullica.org/

Again, real quick, the residents of the facility given as example (or the local city's pet peeve) can also have physical medical issues (a.k.a.. "comorbidity") and the emergency calls are required by law so the gov't people touting the activity as a problem is discrimination — of course back to square one is that the point is to ensure exclusion of sex offenders (says the menopause aged high school teacher's assistant — her hubby may catch on to the posit) but there's redundancy and they're like "yeah, that's the point" but that implies that there is some hidden need for watchdog attitude, vigilantism. I was honked at once on the street there and I had no idea who the man was but it seemed to be that he didn't like me there. I was walking along with a inter letter to a VA national cemetery in my back pocket and people are all like I don't belong where I am. The way I look, is the issue. Most my friends are dead who also grew up here.

The Colorado House Bill doesn't apply to other (elderly) assisted living facilities or hospices, religious organization shelters, or other types of residential shelters, i.e., women's shelter (which matters since it is law people are discussing and supposed to be applied equally) but given the subject matter all that is beside the point. What is the point? Once again, here there is a woman who, despite the educated expertise that went into creating the existing system, she just cannot fathom there being people who are not obsessed as she is. Freud used the word hysterical and it is fitting here for Melissa. I steer away from the term in the community I hang out in since there's educated women who might take offense.

Again too is the disproportional representation of people of color who are diagnosed with psychiatric disorders. People often overlook the penal population, and then there is the vocally vehement vigilantes who have to have someone to belittle and demean and enjoy the schadenfreude — people project their aberration onto others, and of course a person's appearance is all anyone else has to go by.

Then there's my friend who I posted a photo of on the city's posts. I think the option was removed since then. The important thing here is that, for whatever reason, the people of the demographic of "mental impairment" (as the Americans with Disabilities Act designation), are unable to socialize with average people (is simplified explanation) but can usually get along fine together. Even co-ed, but separated, living facility (whatever that's called), the residents (usually) get along fine but they will contact emergency services often because they're supposed to, by law. Again on that point is there is a school nearby so there'd be frequent and random police activity there. Seems like that would be a benefit. Any sirens would still be a ways off. Actually they're probably wanting to avoid building a new fire station to better serve the area.

They're wanting to curb the new multi-unit residential buildings though, local small business be damned & all that. Wanting to go "Home Rule" for better local control; where an individual's federal civil rights are handled at a local level for convenience — but theirs, like a little high school clique they have going on. I think with their ongoing water issues they might want to stay on the state's good side, yeah even the funny smelling, bestiality one, (follow the hokey money type thing) — although Governor Schultz did pull off his bit when he pushed his assistant up against a cabinet and prevented her from calling police. (He then called them.) The judge determined that his wad of paperwork (that he forgot to make copies of) was worth millions. I think Elizabeth Hughes would have had trouble getting anything for it though, not like an average pawn shop would be interested. Oh, business rivals (what a joke!).

Speaking of him and his hood though, there was a recent article about one of Missy's misdeeds (the state DNA lab fiasco), and the Boulder DA was accusing the defense attorney of exaggerating by using the word "conspiracy" in the sound-bite. "...When decisions don’t go his client’s way, the attorney launches into a conspiracy theory,”

It still is relevant here since there are still possible convictions for crimes that were not legit. Again, when people bring up the "disproportionate representation of people of color" part and there are those who will celebrate that or those who will plow on regardless. It ain't on them how the world actually works. My father is clear far-right and is all about that posit. He kicked me out of the house when I was seventeen because I went and got a GED. I conned my mother into signing the permission. I had too. I already had social issues, I was an adolescent and (technically) homeless. My father once attacked me with a softball bat and had me on the floor with it across my neck back then too — am I supposed to hate him?

So speaking of that... (I haven't forgot the Boulder thing. I'll still segue back into that in a second.) — My friend was also hurt by her step-dad and forgave him. He was the father to her two younger sisters and my friend took the high road and thought it more important to maintain a sense of family harmony by maintaining the relationship with him. My friend was a "cutter" (I mentioned that.) She also made it through US Army basic training (although discharged after). Her twin sister is a war veteran though and went from the Army to retire from the National Guard.

This same lady, my friend, she also has a college degree and worked in the field of human/social services. She even worked in halfway houses, right up near the people others so despise. Anyway, years ago she did a thought experiment (speculation based on her experience) when everyone was wondering about what exactly happened to Jon Benet Ramsey. My friend said that the girl self-harmed by hitting her own head. That makes sense because she would've felt bad because her mother wanted her to feel bad for wetting her bed when they all had to get ready to leave in the morning. They were planning to spend Christmas with their family out of state. Patsy flipped out and killed Jon Benet. It is really the same kind of attitude here that there's always some other person around to b-lamed for distraction & misdirection.

The situation with John Papola is time sensitive and tragic but nobody even bothers to see what he did!
