Well, Ricky boy, the pope of the SoFla Blogosphere, has already added his typical snarky comment on his blog. With friends like that…

they musta got some of that bailout money!

Start getting your civil suit together. Confirm who is assisting you and start getting organized. Think through things like who has won against the city in similar cases in the past. Call them. Get on the phone with Jim Defede again and let him know your getting ready to file against the city. Get with that Cigar Mike guy and get his advice – he seems pretty sharp, but actually start to move on it.

It’s time to move from defense to offense.

George: Don’t you have a date with Manuel Tellechea to get ready for? You’re acting like the Babalu Department of State running around to South Florida’s blogs trying to rally support against SFDB.

By the way, thanks for reading SFDB. I know you just can’t resist.

.

TUS,

Considering that Rick convicted me from the get-go, he has no concept of the “innocent until proven guilty” presumption that is one of our fundamental rights in this country.

Carlos: That’s simply not true. You know exactly what I said about how the cops acted. Of course you let my characterization of your behavior override that, but, regardless, Carlos, that’s a cheap potshot that you know is not accurate.

You’ve already made it quite clear here how you pick your allegiances, Carlos. That’s fine. But please don’t mischaracterize my position on your arrest and conviction after being prompted by one of your newfound “pals.”

What those cops did to effect their arrest of you was unnecessary and wrong. I said that from the beginning and I’ll say that now.

And P.S., am I not allowed to have an opinion of what went down that night? Or does everyone who doesn’t totally agree with you “convict’ you? If you recall, I also said that a court would ultimately decide who was right and who was wrong. And they did. Of course, you didn’t like their answer and you appealed. That’s your right and here we are.

But to say I “convicted” you from the get go is utter crap.

.

Rick,

This has nothing to do with “allegiances” if you’re talking about the Babalu vs SFDB thing.

I’ve chosen to remain neutral on that because that blog war is a huge distraction to the main focus of my blog, which is to inform people about the rights of photographers, document these ongoing incidents and to prove my innocence in my arrest.

While I disagree with most everything Babalu stands for, they’ve always supported my cause when it comes to photographers’ rights.

At the same time, while me and you agree on politics more than we disagree, we’ve had our disagreements on this subject.

Perhaps if my blog was dedicated to getting the embargo lifted or getting Joe Garcia elected to the Senate – both which I agree with – these “allegiances” would be more clear cut.

But the topics I write about on my blog are a lot more personal to me than the above mentioned because I have had criminal charges hanging over me for the past two years.

And you’re wrong when you say the court “ultimately” decided who was right and who was wrong. Obviously the decision is not ultimate if there is still a chance for me to prove my innocence.

Anybody with basis knowledge of the law can see that there are huge inconsistencies in my verdict.

But nevertheless, you still have chosen to display a contemptuous and scornful attitude about my appeal process when you report about my updates on your blog.

So now we’ve moved on from me “convicting” you before trial, to being “contemptuous” and “scornful” about your appeal process. I can see the is an unending process where I answer one charge then you move on to something else, because, you know, you have to have something to argue about with me. But I’ll bite.

Show me one instance, Carlos, just one of me being contemptuous and scornful of your appeal process. Just one. Remember, it’s about the appeal process itself, not about you posting pictures of the prosecutor or informing everyone that he played basketball in college or whatever, and it’s not about me thinking that it’s silly that you think your case, out of the thousands that the Miami-Dade SAO prosecutes, deserves to be dropped. Why? Because YOU, Carlos Miller, thinks it should. Go ahead, Carlos, and wade through the accolades I have heaped at your doorstep at SFDB and try to find my “scorn” for your right to appeal.

I’ll save you the time. It isn’t there. It never was there.

You know when I met you back in October, you seemed like a nice guy. In fact, this is what I wrote at SFDB after that meeting…

“Sidenote here: I met Carlos for the first time on Saturday and the guy is a nice guy who is very passionate about what he does for a living. Actually, based upon some of his writings, I think he’s just passionate about life in general. That, in my book, is a very, very good thing and something that I have to give him a lot of credit for, no matter what I think of how he goes about expressing that passion.”

That was then. This is now.

Have a great effing day.

.

I think you’re confusing “priority” with “ego”.

Thanks,
Chaz

Rick,

I’m not going to get into the whole history here, especially considering you deleted your initial comments after my arrest when you shut down your previous blog.

But you did call me an “arrogant prick” and this is coming from somebody who doesn’t even allow profanity on their blog.

Your last two posts about my appeal updates were filled with scorn and contempt.

The fact that you overlooked 1,400 words in my last post and focused on the sentence where I said Vazquez played basketball in high school is very evident of this.

Let’s be honest here, this has absolutely nothing to do with Vazquez but your own paranoia where you think I will one day “out” you to the world. Don’t flatter yourself, Rick, you’re not that important to me.

This also has to do because I refused to take sides in your pissing match with Babalu. Don’t take it personal. I’m just not one to involve myself in other people’s squabbles.

And your post today is filled with contempt, which you admit in your last comment.

it’s not about me thinking that it’s silly that you think your case, out of the thousands that the Miami-Dade SAO prosecutes, deserves to be dropped. Why? Because YOU, Carlos Miller, thinks it should.

See Rick, you prove again and again that you don’t really read my posts. You only read what you want to read out of my posts. Then come out with your own determination of what I wrote.

And now you’re saying you don’t think I’m a nice guy anymore, even though you have not had any personal contact with me since that first time we met?

Don’t you think this is a very one-dimensional approach to judging people?

But this is obviously the way you view the world considering how you lump every republican into the same mold.

I’m as liberal as they come and I don’t do this.

Carlos: I’m not going to waste any more of my time discussing things with you as you hopscotch from issue to issue to issue.

But you need to know this…I could give two flips if you “out” me, whater the hell that means. Count ‘em. One. Two.

Later.

.

Your colleagues are going to give more than two flips once they read what you wrote about them after your Puerto Rico trip.

Rick,

Is that two flips or two snaps with a head wiggle?

We have just read the horrible story of what Tyler Hayes Weinman did to many cats. He is obviously very sick and in the future will be a threat to society. Just review to past animal abuse of many serial killers. I hope you will punish him severely. He deserves it!!!
