Page 20 of43 THE STUFF HE GAVB HER. THE DENTIST SAID THAT MY MOTHER "ASKED FOR IT." MY MOTIIER WAS ANGRY, SHE SAID THAT SHE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THE DRUG AND CERTAINLY WOULDN'T ASK FOR IT OR ANY OTHER DRUG. SEE, MURTHA IS VERY CLEVER. THE PUNK NEARLY KILLED MY MOTHER AND HE SCREWED UP MY TEETH. I WOULD SOON LOSE MY DENTAL BENEFITS AND SPEND THE NEXT SEVERA! L YEARS WITH SENSITIVE TEETH THAT HURT WHENEVER I OPENED MY MOU1H AND DRANK ANYTIllNG COLD. THIS IS ONLY ONE OF PERHAPS A HUNDRED DIRTY TRICKS I ENDURED DURING THE FIVE YEARS I WAS ON PROBATION. I ALSO WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED AFTER I WAS PUT ON PROBATION AND WAS LIVING AT THE SALVATION ARMY. ONE NIGHT I WAS AT THE SHELTER AND A CONSTABLE COME IN AND ARRESTED ME FOR A TRAFFIC 1HING THAT HAPPENED A YEAR EARLIER. MURTHAS GOONS PULLED ME OVER FOR SOMETHING AND GAVB ME A TICKET I DIDN'T PAY. I WENT TO JAIL AND THEN CAMBRIA COUNTY CHARGED ME WITH A PROBATION VIOLATION AFTERWARDS. I WENT TO CAMBRIA COUNTY COURT. I STOOD IN FRONT OF JUDGE KRUMINACKER AND TOLD HIM THAT THE ONLY REASON I WAS HERB IS BECAUSE MURTHA HAD WHITE JOHNSTOWN COPS PICK UP A BLACK MAN AND KILLED HTh1 AND HUNG HTh1 BY HIS SOCKS AND CALLED IT SUICIDE. THE JUDGE LET ME GO HOME. AFEW DAYS LATER I READ IN TIlE NEWSPAPER TIlAT THE COURT TRANSCRIPS FOR THE DAY I SAID TIIAT HAD DISAPPEARED. NOW THERE WAS NO RECORD OF ME SAYING THAT. NOW, I WANT TO WALK YOU THRU SEPT. 11,2001. WHEN I GOT PUT ON PROBATION I WAS ORDERED TO UNDERGO STRESS AND ANGER MANAGEMENT COUNSELING AT THE VA HOSPITAL IN ALTOONA,PA. I WENT ABOUT ONCE AMONTH. BY THEN I WAS USUALLY SO SlRESSED OUT FROM MURTHAS DIRTY TRlCKS FOR THE MONTH THAT I NEEDED COUNSELING. A MONTH EARLIER I WAS IllT BY A CAR THAT DARTED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WHEN I WALKED BEHIND IT. IT SENT ME FLYlNG AND CUT ME UP PRETTY GOOD. I WAS PULLING GRAVEL OUT OF MY HANDS AND SUCH A WEEK LATER. THE DRIVER JUST LAUGHED AND ROVE AWAY. LUCKlLY I MADE IT DOWNTOWN TO CATCH THE DAV VAN IN GOOD SHAPE FOR mE RIDE TO ALTOONA. I WAS ABOUT 30 MINUTES EARLY, SO I WALKED TO CONEY ISLAND FOR A HOTDOG.[IF YOUR EVER IN JOHNSTOWN.....] AS I PASSED THE NEWSPAPER STAND I SAW TIIE HEADLINE: JUDGE SMlTH NOMlNATED BY PRESIDENT BUSH FOR SEAT ON THE U.S. APPEALS COURT. JUST ONE STEP BELOW THE U.S. SUPREME COURT." I WAS SO HAPPY THAT I HAD TEARS IN MY EYES. I ALWAYS HOPED THAT MURTHA WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO MESS WI1H JUDGE SMITHS CAREER BECAUSE HE WAS THE JUDGE THAT 1HREW OUT MY FEDERAL CONVICTION FOR THREATENING TO MURDER MURTHA. MURTHA WORKED HARD TO CONVICT ME AND WANTED ME IN PRISON. WHEN liTHE HONORABLEII JUDGE SMITH TOSSED MY CONVICTION AND ACQillTTED ME, I HEARD THAT MURTHA WAS LIVID. THE STORY APPEARED IN THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER ON CHRISTMAS DAY. IT WAS THE BEST CHRISTMAS I EVER HAD AND I DIDN'T EVEN GET ANY PRESENTS. NOW THAT JUDGE SMIlH WAS ONLY ONE STEP AWAY FROM THE SUPREME COURT, I KNEW MURTHA WOULD BE OUT OF H! IS MIND WITH RAGE. I WAS HAPPY ON THE RIDE TO ALTOONA. BUSH JUST GAVE MURTHA A BIG SLAP IN HIS BIG UGLY FACE BY NOMINATING runGE SMlTH AND I LOVED IT. I KNEW I HAD TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE MURTHA WOULD TAKE IT OUT ON ME. ONCE I GOT TO THE VA, I WENT INTO THE WAITING ROOM AND SAT DOWN AND PUT THE TV ON TVLAND OR SOMETHING. AS I SAT THERE A MAN CAME IN AND SAT RIGHT NEXT TO ME AND SAID VERY COYLy ll WHY DONT YOU PUT ANEWS CHANNEL ON OR SOMETHING.II SO I PUT ON "THE TODAY SHOWII. I SAW THE WORLD TRADE CENTER WITH A HOLE IN IT AND SMOKE COMING OUT. THE MAN NEXT TO ME BEGAN TO LAUGH AND SAIDII WHAT'S THIS NOW?II I SAID I DIDN'T KNOW BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE BUlLDING IS ON FIRE OR A 5/1112004
