went to dollar tree, 3208 e Washington, large black negro claims he's the manager, ordered me out of the store because I didn't buy anything, but I had already bought stuff but had to come back for the bleach.
then he got even more hostile and threatening.
need to call corporate. not getting wifi here.
The Dollar Tree corporate office is located at 500 Volvo Parkway, Chesapeake, VA 23320. Their phone number is (757) 321-5000.
At Dollar Tree, Inc., we believe everything starts with people. From our associates to our leaders to the communities we serve, how we treat people matters most. We also believe when we are free to be ourselves, we are better able to connect with each other, our customers, and our communities.
To
Mike Creedon, Jr.
Dollar Tree
500 Volvo Parkway, Chesapeake, VA 23320
Today, 4/4/25, at about 1 pm, I was ordered away from your store at 3208 e Washington St Indy 46201 by a person claiming to be the manager, perhaps because I was walking out of the store without buying anything.
If he hadn't gotten violent and hostile I would have been happy to explain that I had already taken out my first bag, was going to my van to check my shopping list, while my wife was still inside looking for bleach.
Your web site states: At Dollar Tree, Inc., we believe everything starts with people. From our associates to our leaders to the communities we serve, how we treat people matters most.
How you treated me today was wrong. I am writing to seek written clarification of whether I am banned from that store, and if so why.
I am elderly, disabled, and hard of hearing, and I not know precisely what he said; this is why I am asking in writing for whether or not I can continue to be a customer there, as I have been for many years.
I am requesting a reasonable accommodation for my disability. The accommodation I request is that that particular manager leave me alone. If they are literate, I would welcome a letter from them.
That person and I happen to be of different races. I do not know whether that was a factor. I did not feel welcomed. I do not know for certain whether his conduct toward me would constitute assault. It seemed threatening. Although I was in the right I did not want to make more of a scene so I left, but I am extremely upset.
I happen to be an attorney, and currently have one ADA complaint open with the State of Indiana against a different business on the same street, but I would prefer to resolve this matter internally.
I was just trying to get some tweezers and bleach, and now my whole day has been disrupted.
I am concerned that this situation may escape, so I hope to hear from you soon. ^ escalate ^

Thursday, February 27, 2025
so today was typical.
I get back from a had day at work, and i take my laundry down to the laundry room and there's some guy there smoking. and when I asked him to leave, and he didn't leave, it escalated.
she physically attacked me. he might have had a gun.
she is going around claiming that I put my hands on her, which is the kind of dangerous lie that is likely to get me killed.
dusty threatened me because she fooled him about what the situation was. we had a good talk.
so I need to make a few notes, his crimes and torts, then hers.
his torts, trespass, tresspass again, nuisance? the smoking. does not need a concealed carry permit.
need to know his name. need to look up his criminal history, do a warrant check etc.
her torts today, trespass? her defense is a lease.
battery, assault, what was the conversion thing? I think that was someone else.
extortion. she's trying to get me to pay her to leave, much like mighty.
the bank fraud. her own, and in concert w mighty and Zack.
it's at least an hour later. I've been screaming and shaking. I'm pretty worked up.
I went today to get my social security card. Was unlawfully refused service. 1625 N Post Rd. #6.
I was told that I have to have an appointment to get a card. That was a lie.
I was told that there is a law that says so. I asked which law, she couldn't tell me. There's no such law. It was another lie.
What there is is a policy letter, but they are not implementing the policy, which states
"We want to make clear that we will not turn people away for service who are unable to make an appointment
or do not want to make an appointment. For example, members of vulnerable populations, military personnel,
people with terminal illnesses, and individuals with other situations requiring immediate or specialized
attention may still walk in for service at our field offices. "
I should not have been refused service.so far there's been no way to contact sss, so all i've done so far is Yelp like a Karen.
Dear Colleague, In our ongoing commitment to serve the public more efficiently, we are expanding appointment-based services at our local Social Security offices. By scheduling appointments, we will aim to reduce wait times, streamline service delivery, and improve the overall customer experience. Nearly 400 field offices have already moved to appointment-based service this year. These offices have seen significant improvements in wait times due to more efficient and helpful visitor experiences and increases in the number of customers able to complete their business online. We are implementing appointment-based services nationwide in two phases. The first phase is a transition period now through January 5, 2025. The purpose of this transition period is to educate our customers about needing to schedule an appointment for SSA services. As a reminder, many of our services can be provided via phone with an appointment and do not require a customer to walk into an office for service. Effective January 6, 2025, we will require customers to schedule an appointment for service in our field offices, including requests for Social Security cards. We encourage customers to become accustomed to our: • online services, where many transactions can be completed conveniently and securely, and • automated services available on our National 800# at 1-800-772-1213. Customers who are not able to handle their business online or with the automated options, may call their local Social Security office or our National 800# to schedule an appointment. We want to make clear that we will not turn people away for service who are unable to make an appointment or do not want to make an appointment. For example, members of vulnerable populations, military personnel, people with terminal illnesses, and individuals with other situations requiring immediate or specialized attention may still walk in for service at our field offices. Some of our offices also have minimal to no wait times, and they will still serve customers who walk in. We appreciate your partnership in sharing this information and helping our customers through this transition. Thank you for your continued support as we work together to improve service accessibility and responsiveness. Sincerely, Dawn Bystry Associate Commissioner Office of Strategic and Digital Communications OEA.Net.Post@ssa.gov

i need to sit down with you and explaiin the thing with the ducks and trucks. you dont seem to be getting it yet. i need to get my ducks in arow.
i would like to give you some negative feedback about your job performance, but only when we are both calm so it will be constructive.
otherwise i just bottle this stuff up. let's make a to do list for about a week, and then every day we go over it.
i need a daily email from you summarizing what we did and did not get done.
when i give you an envelope with $500, what i need is an email within 24 hours settiing out where that money wen t so we can keep our books.
it's is july 4th. are you ready to go over june's books?
i will go to the dollar store and get a bag of bags, so i can bag and tag cigarette butts.
danny showed up early, great attitude, gets stuff done.
you guys can use the truck to move the trailer. expect a lot of screaming from dc. but fix the tire first.
and fill out a pretrip inspection report for the truck. which needs a number. i gues si nwill go to the auto stoere and buy some numbers to put on the trucks.
when i was out getting the windows, some guys said they want to buy the van i said bring me a written offer.
do we have the title and keys ready to go?
this cold coffee at wendy's is pretty good, but i'm going to throw it away, i dont think i need caffiene today.
it's now around 8:30. i'll check the storage unit.m i can get justin if he needs a ride. he can work on electric and mechanic stuff.
i also have a task for him to meet the construction company across the street.

if justin wants to use a bobcat to smooth out the alley, i'll pay for the bobcat and his time, but find out how much the rental is first. can we borrow one? probably not. and i'd pay for a load of gravel as well if thsasat helps.
jordan - so we are going today? please also set up a jail visit for denise paul hatch. they may be holding her in seg and not let us see her, i'm not sure.
she's a friend and the center township constable, and they've been holding her for a month over minor stuff.
i figured out how we get jordan. we use him as the plaintiff in a civil rights action against the jal, and then we keep the money. if any.
so danny'ss gonna walk with me and the clipboard and i'll get thaat part started today, but i'

idea is , and pete's cool with this, is we raise a little money "for pete's sake" for dc's medical expenses and pete's work cleaning the park and washington street. so we wil;l learn how to set up a small charitable foundation. dc could be our kin hubbard brown county mr martin impersonator. so we use the kin hubbard images in our literatture.

i want to do riley. in or she shoul;d set up an insiide visit.
it's sunny but raining heavily, mostly in my house. i wonder if there's a rainbow. i'll go check.
discussed rodney w my staff. we suspect he has ulterior motives.
bill yelled at me about the dog. we'll send him a bill for the 4 minutes, no 4 hour minimum, no minimum billable increment.
discussed the zay theft. possible zay theft, could be harley setting him up. gay negro 26, connected to s gladstone.

met ranger slayton around 5 pm.
paid petey $50. we shared water and shared coke. so we use coke for the stranger in a strasnge land water sharing ritual.
i'm starting to give more pushback. when they violate my smoking and dietary rules on the property.
i missed two loads of scrap today because the truck isnt fixed. the truck isn't fixed.
michelle has agreed we can go to a biker bar sometime.
so that's enough notes to wrap up the afternoon.
we want to shop for dresses. but nothing fancy, simple. she has taste.
she might be using that to put off the trip to meeting the prosecutor.
in should ask her to visit Eric or Jill with me as a witness. where they can ask anything they want about me, maybe not her.
dc still in offiice, still yelling about me. he'll figure it out. bright guy. did I mention I took down the tent?
so some of Michelle's clothes are in bags in the yard getting raining on. now 6:18, i'm done here. cut and paste to email.
so this iis the rough right away version, and maybe ii can better organize it later.
i owe rodney a pair of blue pliers with a hook on end. i was going to have him hold onto a ball peen hammer.
we can start getting them engraved, 1 per contractor.
petey agreed to bury the dog. we'll seee. rachel too. we'll see.
you have the van key. i do not. i need a vehicle to get my work done. we told that guy we were taking that fence, and it's very important to me, with a guy ;like that, that i do what i say i will do. it pisses me off when a first contact with a guy makes me look like i don't know what i am doing.

please respond with your own list or at least an "ok".
in the next week part of what i need from nyou is:
resume
full criminal file
set up those appointments with jill/eric and that prosecutor lady. and go to them. if we have not accomplished this within 7 days, I may lay you off for a week.
let's consider having me rent a legal secretary from the legal secretary shop which is called barristers, for about 8 hours a week, to make sure my hours are being kept properly. I am probably expecting too much from you when you haven't even been trained yet. but when my billing isn't done every day, I lose the $470 in work I did that day, so there will be nothing for the envelopes.
but right now ii can absolutely pay people like Danny and Pete and maybe you. You are getting as lot done, but I need documentation, a daily email works well. you can use blogger or whatever.
I paid danny today to walk around with me to find my computer. took us about 5 minutes. I told him if we were still looking after an hour we would stop. I bring this up to say we need some airtags to help us find stuff.
can we verify if danny's electric bike is not hot? if he has good title, that's collateral.
ok, i'm leaving wendy's, dollar store, stop by home for a minute, put a load in, go to the storage unit,
maybe breakfast at steering or brad's.
have you read any of the cases in the links Brian sent you two weeks ago? if you have, we can spend 20 minutes, billabl;e, discussing it. I have not been hearing from Brian at all lately, which disappoints me.
but partly that's on me, I need to send him a bunch of these files and specific instructions on what to do.
this email is in lieu of an iternerary for today.
usually I write one on the back of an envelope and put it in my pocket for that day, so don't lose track.
I am far less effective when I don't have a plan. I just drive around picking up junk. are the scrapyards closed today?
so I have a water heater in the van, do we scrap it right away or save it for .. I think we save it for kelvin. can you look up if there's a kelvin in indy who does refrigerators? you'll get some false positives in that search.
is there anything we need to do with our insurance guy?
as to our personnel, we need file folders, and in the file folder go their timesheets, writeups, resumes, criminal history etc. maybe blue folders for people and red folders for cases, or something like that.
I need to get more organized on which of our people need what. I cannot keep that all in my head.
so please help me get my ducks in a row. i'm drowning here.
i've been reacting to things happening, but I need to free up a free day where I can start making moves of my own. in chess this is called tempo.
I'm not confident we'll get to the steer inn today, but if we do, what's our agenda?
if I don't get an answer I like I'll come up[ with one.
i will try to put in another half hour here catching up on some of my online work.
today i have to read the complaint from gupta. i wll probably be very upset for a while after that.
somebody pointed out that i can write a bunch of this stuff off my taxes. .

In re State v Michelle Russell
Cause # 41 H 02 1711 CM 1990
Amicus letter to the Court requesting hearing.
Hello. My name is Robbin Stewart, IN 17147-53. I’m a mostly retired Indy lawyer trying to set up a fruit stand, turning one of my hobbies into a small business.
I interviewed a possible secretary. During our background check process, it turned out that she had a fta warrant in your county. As an officer of the court, I cannot and will not hire anyone with an open warrant. She is otherwise well qualified in many respects, although I remain concerned about some aspects, and her background check is continuing.
I have been told by the court no limited entry of appearance is needed. I told her I would stop by the courthouse, try to speak with the prosecutor, and see if they would agree, as a matter of professional courtesy, to agree to ask the court to recall the warrant, set the matter for a hearing, and either finalize the case or arrange a payment schedule. She declined, as is her right.
So I am now asking the court to lift the warrant, and set the matter for a hearing. I will plan to attend but not speak; I think she is represented by a public defender. If she owes money by the end of the hearing, I expect I will volunteer to be financially responsible for the debt.
I am unwilling to consider any arrangement that involves her going to jail in Johnson County, even overnight. Feel free to jail me if you need someone in jail. I would welcome the opportunity to more closely observe your jail conditions.
I am an old man, haven’t practiced in years, and do not know how to electroncally file or that sort of thing. I am submitting a second copy for distribution to the prosecutor, as well as I will email her a copy.
Respectfully Submitted,
Robbin Stewart.

Ogden v. Marendt, 264 F.Supp.2d 785 (S.D.Ind.2003). Applying strict scrutiny, Judge Tinder found that the statute was not narrowly tailored to advance the state's legitimate interests in preventing campaign fraud or maintaining the stability of the two-party system.
Soon after the injunction was issued, the parties settled. The court approved a final judgment in which all sides stipulated that the statute “is declared facially unconstitutional,” and the court enjoined the Election Board from enforcing it against the plaintiffs.
Quasi-criminal actions include:
- A violation of law, offense, or ordinance, especially a motor vehicle law, parking ticket, or traffic ticket.[5][7][8][9][10]
- Psychiatric matters, such as civil confinement, mental hygiene commitments, and similar proceedings.[11]
- Regulatory offenses, such as health department violations,

This brief (and unclear) reference to the violation of the identification requirement does not show a true exercise of discretion. See Vt. Nat'l Bank v. Clark, 156 Vt. 143, 145, 588 A.2d 621, 622 (1991) (a trial court's "with[olding] its discretion entirely" is an abuse of discretion). Nor does the difficulty of calculating a penalty mean that no penalty can be awarded.

Johnson County and Bob.
Introduction:
Jane Doe is attempting to quash a warrant and set her case for a hearing.
She sent her counsel to make a request for this, either as a matter of professional courtesy to counsel, which was refused, or by court order. The court ruled it was too busy to entertain an oral motion, and may have suggested a written motion. This was reasonable, and the court has wide discretion.
At the entrance to the courtroom was a security desk staffed by Bob. At first Bob was friendly and helpful, and by the end he was again, but there was a middle period where he was screaming, pointing his finger and such. I occasionally trigger that sort of reaction from civil servants, and was unphased. He stated, twice, "You're not a lawyer!". I pointed out to Bob that this was defamatory. The prosecutor confirmed that I am indeed a lawyer, and Bob settled down. There may or may not have existed a video of the incident. If so, retain it; destruction of the file would be a separate tort. ______.
The specifics of what made him flip out were that when he told me I could not bring in my laptop or my phone, I responded by asking for a copy of the court order establishing the policy. Instead of responding civilly to a reasonable and legal request, he became unhinged. He did not assault or physically threaten me, but he seemed armed and dangerous, and impeded my path to the courtroom.
But as I told him, this sounds like defamation. I personally do not choose to sue Bob for defamation.
My client, on the other hand, has no good reason not to. Under Article I section 12, she has a right to open courts. This was violated by Bob's temper tantrum.
The law does not strain at a gnat, and normally I do not sue when merely defamed. Here the point is to show the prosecutor that actions have consequences, and if she chooses, as she is free to do, to fail to extend professional courtesy, I am in the process of joining the Johnson County bar association and will be filing lawsuits on a monthly basis until she gets the point. Some will be big and major, seeking to expose widespread corruption, while others are small and petty, such as this one.
Parties:
Jane Doe is a former inmate of Johnson County. She has served her sentence of _ days. She has paid thousands in costs and fees. She has been homeless and broke. She is unwilling to go into Johnson County, much less ever be locked up there. When she began to describe conditions there, I wondered if she were paranoid or histrionic or exagerating but later I met Bob, screaming to me, lying about me to his cowurkers, in full public view.
During law school 30 years ago, I participated in a clinic for battered women. Many of the symptoms are present in her case. I also grew up in a violent home.
I am not seeking to re-open her case, and I do not practice any criminal law. I had been expecting her to get in touch with her public defender to be represented at the hearing I requested. But at a quick glance it appears she was a used a drug mule, was afraid to testify, and was overcharged in retaliation for using her 5th amendment rights. Classic blaming the victim, an outdated policy that promotes trafficking and exploitation of women. A competent and ethical prosecutor should be aware that there is no proof beyond a reasonable doubt as to her mental state, other than her coerced plea agreement. Her crime was a status offense, and there was I think no allegation of a victim other than herself.
Some prosecutors take the high road, and decline to take cases lacking the reasonable doubt standard. Others, aware that prosecutorial immunity protects a wide range of conduct, use probable cause to put someone in jail, which is an inherently coercive structure,
It does not appear that she was effectively represented, in that she pled to the same offense she was charged with, and received an unusually harsh sentence. It is now ironic that the outstanding balance the state refuses to let her pay is largely for the fees for that possibly ineffective counsel. However, I had Doe little more than skim the docket, anbd it may have been less simple.
In the several years since she was locked up without a trial, much has changed in indiana law. In Timbs v. Indiana, the Supreme Court for the first time incorporated the excessive fine clause. Now, fines or fees must be reasonable. When, as here, the fines are an undue burden, they violate the letter and spirit of Timbs. It is within the court's discretion to dismiss these fines, and I so move.
