Double Standard He is black: not smart, gifted, blessed, fearful, emotional, lazy, etc. He is white: smart, hard working, brave, Kingmaker, etc. His life has little or no value. His schoolings were based on teachers that had two or three jobs and teaching to make ends meet. Mentally, his future is scripted, aka, Book of Life is written. Academically, he is fucked. His education is equivalent to a fifth grader. "Our scientists were right," said the Kingmaker. "Control the flow o...

Drugs, Gangs + Dropouts in the B.O.P. by Nate A. Lindell created 6 March 2015 My first encounter with dope was from watching "Miami Vice." It was the 80's and the show was a hit. Practically every episode showed too-cool cops busting arrogant hoods with what was, to me, magical powders, cocaine + heroin. Unknown to me at the time (I was in grade school), my mom was using both of those magical powders. Then, one day, after I came home from the third grade, my siblings + I found ...

A crime that had occurred 37-years ago with no corroborating witnesses. In a he—say, she—say trial, who gets the benefit of the doubt? The accused, or the accuser? In this era of Me T00, is it guilty until you can prove yourself innocent, or innocent unti...

Editorial- The Benefit Seen Sunset. You can't see, but you feel it. The waffs are cooling. Somewhere out there the sky is full of irrelevant, beautiful, wasted colors. The slivers of light usually visible through the cracks of the doors disappear in resignation like tired old guards. On the other side of the wall a lifetime thick, animals change shifts and the sun takes its intermission before beginning its other role as dawn. You're watching your show as that thought about walls th...

Erroneous Interpretation of Applicable Law I was convicted of three counts of attempted second-degree murder among other counts. In 2011, I filed a petition with the Fifth District of Appeal, State of Florida. In Argument Two of the petition, I argued that my appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to argue on appeal that the trial judge must instruct the jury on attempted voluntary manslaughter as necessarily lesser included offenses. On May 3, 2011, the Clerk issued an order to the St...

To expound—without a doubt—would be an exercise in futility, especially to marginalized people suffering from delusions of superiority over members of the population whom have been disenfranchised by crime. Such prejudice against prisoners is unbecoming, degrading, but worst of all segr...

"Father Alert" One of the most effective systems which we have today to locate missing or abducted children is the Amber Alert. Though the use of the national system rose out of tragedy, its current use has facilitated the return of countless children. In a way, we are facing a similar problem: missing fathers. And maybe it is time to create a Father Alert system. I know where we can begin to implement such a system — U.S. prisons. The U.S. prison system houses millions of men; mill...

Found! I found out why no one has an opinion about anything important. It's because having an opinion makes you the unknowing target of people who keep their opinion secret. For example: I'm an innocent man, yet I can't win as appeal despite overwhelming proof, or get a communication. Why? Because, as a result of their false conviction of me, I study cops, lawcrats, bureaucrats, politicians, parolecrats and the media, and I publicize my research so that others may learn how to ...

Is it to much for us as convicted criminals to ask for help? Has the world forgotten that we exist? Maybe a cry that a unqualified mental health professional should get. It is us who have to watch the world suffer, and be met with fears that our next phone call will go unanswered because they have contracted "C19". It was m...

Sooner or later, by the grace of God, I finally got it. Thinking as usual that I am the center of the universe, I would expect that my life's story would be e...
