From the Hotel from hell..

Well I am still being harassed by ...People around this area I live in. I live in a residential hotel, different than the one I used to live in. I have since escaped from there, but I didn't move that far away. In the last couple of days I have heard people walk by my door. One person said..

" Yeah you real strong, but we gotta to hit you." Today a girl walked past my door and said "They want to sew him, why did you punish him?" I'm assuming she was with someone when she said that, she was with her gangster friend (the one who said the previous thing).

One unpleasant surprise when I moved into this new place is that One or two of those street thugs that hung out at my previous Hotel, The Oaks, live here at the Madrone Hotel.
One of the nice reason I picked this place to live in was because its only one block away from the police station, also is very quiet,and cleaner than the Oaks (and no apparent drug trafficking and prostitution,but the Police sometimes are worthless. No wonder so many people take the law into there own hands cause O.P.D doesn't seem able to do it for them.

I was so upset about fearing that my life might be in danger, I called the police . Talk about an exercise in futility, try getting police help if you feel your live is in danger! You may get the "run -around" (unless your some famous celebrity), and risk sounding pretty crazy. All the police dispatcher ended up doing is putting me on hold, after a couple of minutes I hung up, after all, has she said ; I don't know the names or have a description of thoses who are echoing these threats , the threats are indirect , that is they don't call me by name, but you know when some one is talking to/or about you! The threats are mostly the same.

Its seems insane to ignore these threats, as a week ago I called the Gang division of the Oakland police department, an I had a hard time convincing him of anything.
He didn't believe my life was in danger, I couldn't convince him any gang had anything top do with it,(after all I couldn't prove it) but he reassured me that I should take it easy, that I would be okay. I told him alot, I did feel alittle reassured after that. Its hard to convince someone your life may be in danger when you don't really know the people involved who are making the threats...alot of them are disaffected African-American youth, probably led by someone or thing, ( CRACK sales).

All I know is that this whole thing stemmed from my stay at the Oaks hotel. While there this troll was after me (Rm 711) and harassing me, I asked the hotel management to move me to another room, they wouldn't. The only time that changed was when I filed a complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing...and starting protesting outside the building. The Oaks hotel then considered moving me to another room, and when that happened the threats to my life, intimidation to other members of my family came. The California department of Fair Employment and Housing also is supposed to investigate threats and acts of intimidation particularly when it concerns retaliation in filing a complaint of discrimination and such. But like the Police whenever I complained to the investigator......I might as well have been talking to dead air. She wanted to know names faces, why, when, where, how many ,what time. This I didn't often know.

So why don't I leave here altogether? After all you have to have a special permit to carry a concealed weapon in California, its pricey and "Iffy" to get such a permit ( +500.00) if they approve it. Its illegal in California to carry such a weapon without a permit and probably a felony to use it even in defending your life in California. Plus, who'd want to use it, I would.

Moving seem like a good idea, I often relate this to my mother, and siblings. They all think I'm nuts. Plus I worry about my mother and she seems to want me to stay and keep my job. Maybe she wants me dead. My father, siblings and other relatives say to me," don't worry about your mom take care of yourself". But my mom seems convinced that I should stay and keep my job, and maybe seek psychiatric help. My youngest sister says the same, my counselor think I should take measured vacations...That I need a plan.

My job is another part of this , while I have a little money available, I hate to leave it.But even my job situation might be changing cause all this stuff that's happened to me in the last couple of years has affected my job. Maybe its definitely time to go, but I'm stuck in a groove, its hard to see when or where will I'll have to run, but run I may have to. I hope its not about getting out( of the Bay Area) while I still can.
