I just checked my email and this message was there. I erased her phone numbers, just cause. Now, i have to make another call about the shootings. Just a few weeks ago, the attorney generals office called about it. Neither my brother nor I can deal with this. We would like to be able to, but its just to hard. I just wanted to share it with ya'll.

Hi !
I'm not sure if you remember me. I was trying to help BJ find Cleo when he lost her in St Bernard 2 yrs ago. The reason I am contacting you is because I have had people emailing me about getting in touch with BJ and about talking with him about what he saw in St Bernard as far as the dog shootings. I didn't want to contact him directly without talking to you first. Can you please call me when you get a chance? I don't want to talk to you about this through emails if at all possible. My cell is . My home # at night is . I know BJ went through a lot and I also know it is important for as much evidence to be brought out in the open to burn these St Bernard cops, but I don't want to hurt BJ or his son in the process. Please call me when you get a chance.
Thanks,
"Spiritsmom"


I really dont think this will ever end. The results from that damn storm just continue on.

I think your statement is probably very true for every major trauma that we live through. There are always so many out of the ordinary things that happen & so many people doing things that they wouldn't normally do, but feel compelled to do for whatever strange justification that go on in their minds. Choices that people make have consequenses & it seems to me that some people feel the need to see that consequenses/punishment for the actions are there & it seems that others have the need to let go of what happened for their healing process to start.

I think that the problem is that the people who want to see punishment for the actions tend to be very passionate & aren't willing to understand or often even respect the needs of the others who need to let go of what happened & get on with their lives. It seems to me that as long as this type of conflict continues, you are right,'It will never end'. As time goes on & it becomes less possible for those people to enforce the consequenses, it will probably calm down & things will go back closer to normal.

You all lived through a very horrible time & saw horrible things happen that would never happen under normal situations.....it is important for you to do what you need to do for your healing & not be pressured to do anything you can't do & still feel ok with your life.

It's not easy & never will be, but it is important to stand up for what you are feeling.

Thank you eskie. yYou are so very right. It was pretty much impossible to make a decision a few weeks back. Ya'll here helped me to find what i needed. I will ask my brother again, i know exactly what he will say, but out of courtesy i will ask. Then i will call susan, spiritsmom, and talk to her about it.

Every animal rescuer we came across looking for cleo, are good people. They have gone over and beyond. They want whats right and i agree. They respect your wishes and understand. We've been contacted by at least 20 differnt people on this case in just the past six months and all have been kind. We've become close friends with 4 rescuers we meet in the beginning and keep on almost daily contact with them. They all know whats been going on with us and this case and have supported us with whatever decisions we've made. Like ya'll have here at pc.

Ya know, I never thought in my life i'd see an actual angel. But i have. Many of them. And i thank every single one.

I just had a long talk with my brother. After a lot of thought, he told me he wants to follow through with this case. He said he is going to fill out the affidavit and if necessary will appear in court. He said since we talked about it a week or so ago, he is constantly having the same dream of reliving what he witnessed. And he thinks that maybe if he does this, it will settle his soul some. He can identify by name each of those pieces of shite and thats what the lawyers need.

Ya'll please keep my brother in your thoughts, he's going through a very angry and frustrating time right now. And i just hope he doesnt receive any retaliation from doing this by those involved.

If you want, after the affidavit is filled out, i will post it here. Only if you are interested in seeing it.

(((((((((((Thank you all)))))))))))

(((((chalmette)))))) i know it's a tough thing to do, especially for your brother. i will keep you and your brother in my thoughts. i hope he can find peace. i know the pain he's carrying, as i carried the pain of my dad killing cats in front of me. i know it's a hard thing to deal with among the other things you have to deal with. i really hope it works out for your brother, because i know how painful it is.

Hello Chal my To say Friend is not enough,,,,,I hate you still 2 years later go through this stuff,,,,,, Call when it is time . You know I will make ......................( R/T)

Chalmette,

I know that if it wasn't for the possible retalliation, your brother would have jumped at doing this at the beginning. It's like being caught between 2 rocks....one you know you want to do because you know it is the right thing to do....on the other hand, what will happen to your career if you do this?

It is sad when that kind of fear exists because knowing that we should be doing the right thing & putting those horrible people away can continue to haunt (sounds like it did with the dreams).

I know when I caught the home care person stealing my Mothers ID & abusing her....I went to the Adult Protective Services as soon as I could....then I was threatened.......unfortunately for me, I have a tendency to flip off threats & went ahead & took it to the police also. Sad thing was that it was for nothing because there they didn't get enough evidence to put her away. I am sure she is still out there hurting more cancer patients. In the back of my mind, it's telling me that some day, I will find the right approach to get her caught....it's just a matter of time cause I know she did it before.....she will do it again.

But in my heart & mind, I knew I had to at least try to bring her to justice no matter what.....but the fear was there. It's a matter of deciding which is worse....& that's a tough call when your career is part of your decision making process.

I am glad he decided to help go after those people....they need to be held accountable for what they did & I am glad your brother has realized that is important enough to take the risk.

He is in my prayers,
Debbie
