About 30 minutes later, there was a knock at the door. I answered and was greeted by a state trooper. He asked, are you warning your neighbours about a robbery? I repiled yes we are all concerned about our environment here. He replied, NO! You are concerned about the environment here, I just received 7 complaints from your neighbours for harrassment. He says, let me tell you something, if you continue to talk about this with anyone in the park, I'm going to arrest you. The following night the electricity went out and all H broke loose next door. Their was a fight between the dealer and 3 of his customers. There were death threats and glass breaking in the street. I left the kids with a friend and ran across the park to knock on the owners door. His wife answered and with a pressured voice said, what are you doing knocking on my f door at 10:00 at night? I explained to her what was happening in the park and she said, call the police you idiot!  I explained that a power line must have failed and that the phones were not working. She slammed the door. About 30 minutes later, the same state trooper showed up once again and said to never knock on anyone's door in the park. I decribed my neighbour and the incident which had taken place over an hour ago. He responded by asking if I were taking drugs?

In the mornings I would walk my daughter to the bus stop for pre-school. A preacher who lived on the corner approached me and said that the people living at my neighbours trailer were selling bags of white dope to young kids. I asked, you mean teenagers? No! ten year olds he claimed. I asked him, why don't you call the police the next time you see this sort of activity? He replied, what good would it do when it takes the police about 30 minutes to get here? I then phoned the state troopers and spoke to them regarding this matter. They simply stated that no one has issued complaints about this guy. I then took up the new attitude of......When all is said and done, eat me.  I rented a u-haul and packed everything in 2 days. I took a stand that day. Regarding justice? I had to make a decision on my own. In order for my kids to live a healthy life, I had to make a stand. It's very much in the past now but, I still don't understand this experience and have a difficult time in making an analogy of the situation. I have never been good at dealing with life experiences in the style of this one.     

For the life of me, I did not know this man. I thought in my head, Excuse me but I am holding a little girl in my arms. What the H is your problem? I said nothing and was confused. I rode over to an old friend's house and he said that the guys dog was killed on the day that me and my first wife had seperated. The dog was struck by a car and died on Rt. 40 in Buena N.J.   He told me the guy's name and it took about an hour to remember the incident. My wife at the time, had taken the dog in and cared for it. She was friends with this guy who lived behind us. The day that my wife left, I packed my things and also left. This person has been blaming me for the death of his dog for 25 years and it wasn't my doing.

I called a phone number listed with the guy's last name and spoke to a woman. I asked if she was related to this chap and she said yes but, would not reveal if she was the wife or mother. I stated that I did not appreciate his attitude and that I would like to clear up the issue. She hung up. Minutes later, a State Trooper called my house and asked if I had spoken vulgar to the woman? As it turns out, there was a guy living next door who I knew in my youth that painted a bad picture of me to the officer. He was friends with the guy who was feeling anger over the loss of his dog. The trooper then said that I would be getting a summons to court. I asked him: Doesn't my story matter to you? He repiled No! it does not! not after the way you have treated this woman.

I said, don't you yell at me! Do you think just because you are a police officer, I'm scared of you? I simply told him that I wasn't going to back down regarding this particular incident. The police then drove to the music store to obtain information from the staff who at the time, witnessed the entire confrontation. Not only did they deny seeing such an incident happen but, they lied and said that I was not even in the store that day. Don't you love it? Such a lovely bunch aren't they?

I hired a lawyer and it cost me three hundred dollars. I went to court and the lady dropped the charges. Excuse me but, did I just pay $300 dollars for this guy's anquish? Is that the concept? I have detached myself from the Vineland music store staff since then. This happened 25 years ago and come to find out, this guy was having a fling with my first wife. The dog was part of their means to an end. These types of people are dirt bag degenerates that are on a red neck mission. This guy is a school teacher. God help us!  Everytime my butt is in a sling like this, I tend to get foul due to the territory it derives from. Listening to ZZ TOP and watching the super bowl, and beating the crap out of my wife, and hating black citizens because the color of their skin is different from mine, is not my cup of tea, if you know what I mean? I was minding my own business while shopping in their store. I will never forgive these people for what they did during a crucial time when I was raising and providing for my little girl. I will resent them naturally for the rest of my life.
