War in the Homefront

So this guy in a room above me got me thrown into jail. I've never been into jail before. He had this predilection for stomping on his floor/my ceiling early in the morning waking me up . At the time I was working two jobs, my father was in serious trouble ( going to Prison), I just didn't appreciate this guy disturbing my sleep every morning, so I decided to confront him with a baseball bat, just to try to intimidate him , so he wouldn't bother me like that.

This is an older white male , whom I've labeled as a troll. A troll is a sexual predator who preys on younger people for some sort sexual act. To be a troll of this sort you need to have some Power over your victim. In my case this guy is on the top floor , over me. Its hard to fight back when your on the low ground. I am an African-American male 42 yrs old, asexual. My tactic didn't work. It got me three days in jail, although I didn't get very serious, I didn't hit the guy, nor did he shoot me.

Going to jail is not a fun experience. Its like, your whole life as you've known it is over, depending on your stay. I was in a holding cell with about twenty other guys, I didn't know what I was being charged with, I didn't know how long I'd be there . I heard alot about rape in jail, Would I be raped there? and to add insult to injury they wouldn't give me anything to read! I felt guilty, but I felt the other tenant had provoked me, stomping on the floors/my ceiling at odd hours in the morning, I couldn't play my stereo as I been doing in the hotel before and had several more run ins with the law and hotel management, because the guy always complains about my stereo, yet he stays in his room 24 hours a day nearly. I felt I was being held in jail unjustly...visions of Bruce Lee in "Enter the Dragon" entered my mind, I was ready to make a break out the this prison, no way I'm staying in jail for something I didn't do.I felt alittle better when I got out of the holding cell into a more spacious area. Anyway I was there for three days, The incident was downgraded as a "domestic dispute"...and the District Attorney dropped the charges.

I was glad to get out of there ( jail) and lucky too. I promised myself I would never do that again, and if I had to confront that guy again, I'd make sure that the law is on my side. But here I have a disadvantage, he being an older white male, I'm Black...there seems to be a...injustice... The Police told me , as they were taking me to jail, that in the future if I had any complains against this guy, don't confront him personally..call the police. I 've called the police a number of times, and they really did very little concerning my complaints. The cops would usually come back to me and say, "you got to work something out with this guy", as If I was a prostitute or something? I mean my rights are being violated here! Arent the police supposed to enforce the law?

I feel at the mercy of this guy in Rm 711, above mine, He complains about my stereo, so I can't really enjoy listening to the music I used to listen to, he sometimes disturbs my sleep by banging on walls and ceilings , and now its sexual stuff. I think I can actually hear him talking in his room, and usually its something lewd or sexually suggestive, but not specifically directed at me, but there only two tenants around him that could hear this, I feel its directed at me. "Why aren't you Whoring, ( the increasing plight of poor black youth in America these days), " I need a Ho, "Just suck dick", "He needs to be put down", "Cull em".

I 've talked to the people in this Hotel before ,during and after these incidents, I just ask them to move me to another room, so I can avoid this guy. They haven't done anything, I feel as if I'm at the mercy of this guy in 711, he's even suggested in the past that he has a gun ( which your not supposed to have in this place)...can he just shoot me and no one will do anything about it?

One of the reasons I'm writing this blog about these stupid incidents, is because I thought it would be a good idea to keep a written,PUBLIC record of was going on here at this Hotel ...to the best of my recollection. I've recently undertaken some actions ( sexual harrasment/discrimination case against the Hotel ) that might invite some kind of retaliation on me or loved one. So if something happens to me least there is a written record of it here. More later..
