Mary - I have similar concerns about the treatment of mental health patients when it comes to the criminal justice system / health system interface. The two operate almost independent of each other at times - it's as though you are a criminal even though your actions might be symptoms of a mental health problem that needs treating in hospital. Here we have the national health system which I think makes things a little better as there is no notion of  'cost' via private hospitals/ambulances etc. The video - I only see it on YouTube and it downloads to REAL as a format that won't upload at NP - try rediting your video by saving it a lower resolution - maybe as avi or wmv file but smaller file - i think you should be able to upload it then.

Yes - Freedom is a two way street!

The censorship force attacked this article repeatedly.  My articles about THE COCHRAN FIRM FRUAD reveal that there is a plot to deprive Americans, particularly black Americans, of due process of law after the deaths of Americans by police.  Much of the information that should be in the COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD CONTINUES UNCHECKED BY POLICE ARTICLE is in the article below - which has also been attacked by the censorship force that is assigned to work against my postings at NP.  The article can be seen at Care2:

KATHRYN JOHNSTON MURDER:  Atlanta Police Refuse to Release Records
http://my.nowpublic.com/culture/kathryn-johnston-murder-atlanta-police-refuse-release-records


THE FOOTAGE that should show with this article are YouTube videos Cochran Firm Fraud 1 and 2 and a photo of Larry Neal, whose wrongful death the Cochran Firm's Fraud prevented from investigation and accountability.  Whenever I try to update this article, it gets hidden behind the Iron Curtain.  It would be wise if people did not do things they find shameful.  If they do, then it is wise to not add to previous wrongs.  There is always a day of reconing either here or in the hereafter, and sometimes both.

Let me know if a re-write is needed or if NowPublic can dig the article out of hiding where the cyberstalker put it.  I know much more now about what happened and why, so either way suits to me.  The article begins with my June update regarding the law firm of Carlyle Copeland Semlar and Stair being notified that Plaintiffs will fine suit against that law firm and The Cochran Firm for fraud - putting forth fraud and perjury regarding the Atlanta office of The Cochran Firm's existence in two courts - Georgia Sup. Ct. and USDC, Northern District of GA - tricking two judges - Judge Wendy Shoot and Judge Timothy Batten.  Such fraud was entered to deny Plaintiffs' civil rights and deprive Plaintiffs of due process of law. 

It is also Plaintiffs' allegation that The Cochran Firm was behind the in-person stalking that Mary Neal endured until she went into seclusion at home.  This is borne out by the fact that Cochran Firm attorney Angela Mason supplied USDC with the color of the vehicle that followed Mary Neal most often.  Such things as were done in this case violate U.S. Code 18, sections 242 and 245. 

Eventually we will go before a judge who is not so easily duped - or whatever.

******************

Thank you for your comments, LotusFlower .  I have learned much more since writing this article.  I did not know then that mental patients may be turned out of the nations hospitals with the FULL UNDERSTANDING that they likely cannot conduct themselves by the rules of society and that subsequently, they will probably land in prisons and jails for quite small infractions of the law sometimes, like Larry committed.  Once in jail, plenty of mental patients get time added to their prison sentences, because it is hard for them to understand and follow directions.  One mother wrote to me that her schizophrenic son is now facing life in prison for merely hitting someone.  He lives in a "three strikes" state, and he already hit another inmate or mental patient twice before this last time.  Each time this acute mental patient lashed out like a little kid when he was afraid or aggitated, it was counted against him as a criminal assault.

IT MAY ALL COME DOWN TO MONEY!  American taxpayers pay $185 billion annually to incarcerate 2.3 million Americans, and more than 30% of those detainees may be the mental patients.  Many of our prisons are private corporations - SICK PEOPLE JAILED FOR PROFIT.

Acute mental patients should be hospitalized in a secure facility, or released for mandatory treatment in their communities if they committed no violent crime. 

Search for my other articles on NowPublic.com by putting "Mary Neal" into the NowPublic search field under "subject."  The shortage of inpatient facilities and mental hospitals releasing chronic mental patients, especially without providing for their subsistence and without any mandates to continue their psychiatric treatment, mean PRISON for many sick people.  It also means homelessness, and in some cases, it can bring disaster on the community at large.  Massacres like the one at Virginia Tech result from the restrictions against mandatory treatment for acute mental patients in crisis.

Thanks again for your comments.  The media acts like this does not exist.  I am pleased that some few people are beginning to find out about it.  Remember the slogan, "EACH ONE TEACH ONE."  This is news that must spread by word of mouth, evidently.  But then, so was the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and look how successful that was and is today!

Blessings,

Mary

I disagree with one comment you made regarding the massacre at Virginia Tech resulting from restrictions against mandatory treatment. The media wanted everyone to believe that he was mentally disturbed to overlook what the true problem was. He did not have a mental problem. He was upset and fed up with the wealthy having the power and the ability to be above the low or middle class because of their monetary status. He even stated so on the video he left before or after the killing. That is the same picture that is painted when a person of color tries to defend themselves or wish to seek "so called" justice for a complaint or matter and often times are killed in the process then the police or representatives/media they depict them as being a drug abuser.

Hello, John.  Thank you for your comments, which present an interesting viewpoint.

You wrote regarding the young man who was responsible for the VA Tech massacre that he was not mentally ill, but he was fed up with the wealthy having the power and ability to be above others due to $. 

I ask you to consider, John, how many things you may be fed up with.  Have you ever gone on a rampage and killed 32 people?  Of course not.  Can you imagine how fed up my family members and I are to beg year after year for SOMEONE to give us the courtesy of an explanation about my brother's secret arrest and death in government custody -- something that is the law, after all -- and authorities essentially tell us to go F ourselves?  But what do we do?  We continue to ask for records, tell others about our justice denial, and persue justice in court.  That is what rational people do, John, even when they are fed up -- not mass murder and suicide.

Here is something one of my heroes wrote:

LET NO MAN PULL YOU SO LOW THAT YOU HATE HIM.

ALWAYS AVOID VIOLENCE.

IF YOU SOW THE SEEDS OF VIOLENCE IN YOUR STRUGGLE, UNBORN GENERATIONS WILL REAP THE WHIRLWIND OF SOCIAL DISINTEGRATION.

                                - Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Thanks again for sharing your opinion.  And consider that it is best never to use a drastic, tragic, permanent solution for what may be only a temporary problem.

Blessings,

Mary

This article has been updated.  My title, which was chosen a year ago, is still very fitting.

If true, this is a sad situation.

However, we have to remember that we're only getting one side of the story here, which is usually the case when reading about something on the internet.  Sometimes full knowledge of the facts can reveal an entirely different story.  Who knows.

Hello, Maggie's Mom.  I never ask anyone to believe without irrefutable proof.  There is no reason to live in doubt.  Look in the DOCUMENTS tab at this website for authentic documentation from the Georgia Superior Court case:  http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com

Because the Neals v. The Cochran Firm case is public, the court docket and pleadings filed can be reviewed by anyone with a free USDC PACER account.  See this link:

COURT DOCKET -  http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-gandce/case_no-1:2007cv01935/case_id-145173/ 
 
See affidavits from a neighborhood business owner, and federal employee, and college student as well as a security guard's report regarding my being stalked on computer and in person. I have more affidavits to pick up.  They could not do these things without being seen by others because I am careful to always be around others.  See also proof of perjury having been allowed in federal court without censure, etc., as attachments to Plaintiffs' pleadings.  Some documents will be loaded onto the website later this month or in May. 

See the article Mary Neal Requests Meeting with USDOJ - http://my.nowpublic.com/world/mary-neal-requests-meeting-usdoj-updated-comments 
to access a link to the police report on a couple of my stalking events and the incident when I was waylayed at a neighborhood store after 10:p.m. on 9/27/08, called 911 and got no response during the hour my little grandson and I waited while surrounded by men on cellphones (one in a USDOT truck).  No investigation ensued.

Thanks for commenting.  Others might  read this and have doubts, it is such an outrageous tale of New World Order-type collusion.  Sometimes we feel like we exist in the Matrix, so I know it is difficult for others to take this at face value.  But every account I give herein is 100% true and fully verifiable.  Your comment gave me an opportunity to point people to the proof.

I'll tell you something funny:  Even the court did not say Plaintifs were lying about all of the unethical and illegal things The Cochran Firm did - only that these things are immaterial.  Can you believe it?  My guess is that the Constitution has also become immaterial in America.  Maybe they will announce it one day soon.

Attention, NP.  The cyberstalker got upset over the update for this article and hid it behind the Iron Curtain in the edit field.  Please get it out and add this to the article after paragraph #1 directly ABOVE the April 3, 2009 update.  Thanks.

UPDATE - June 5, 2009

The lawfirm of Carlock, Copeland, Semlar & Stair has been notified of Plaintiffs' intent to sue that law firm and The Cochran Firm for conspiring to defraud Plaintiffs and two judges into believing that the Atlanta law office at 127 Peachtree St. Atlanta, Ga where initial lawsuit was served is/was not an office of The Cochran firm in order to illegally have the initial lawsuit dismissed by Judge Shoob of Superior Court of Georgia, and maintaining that farce to allow suit to be brought in USDC under the diversity rule, which required that no Cochran Firm office existed in Georgia.  Other basis of suit will be named on the Complaint.  Carlock, Copeland, Semlar & Stair knew or should have known that it was prticipating in a fraud and submitting perjury in state and federal court as Defendants' attorneys.  Plaintiffs and judges believed the lie until this:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlcolpUzckU

Plaintiff Mary Neal does not intend to run from cars and federal vehicles any more in regard to the conspiracy to deny accountability for the secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal and The Cochran Firm Fraud.  She will request to carry a gun and prepare to go Wild Wild West on the streets of Atlanta if she continues to be followed and accosted, since police refuse to do their jobs.  Adventurous attorneys are invited to write to Mary Neal at P.O. Box 7222, Atlanta, Georgia  30357 or MaryLovesJustice@gmail.com 

A sense of adventure and appreciation for drama are needed because this is the most outrageous legal action ever.  Defendants or somebody seem to be psychopaths who trained with the Taliban.  For more information on the high drama involved, see this article and the comments thereto:

Y'all might want to burn a copy of this.  Bet it disappears soon.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlcolpUzckU

How do you like that?  It turns out that the Atlanta office of The Cochran Firm really is an office of the Cochran Firm after all!  That is one of the partners on the YouTube, and he ought to know!  So that certainly was no small law office in Atlanta merely pretending to be a Cochran Firm office - it is the real thing.  Sure fooled Judge Wendy Shoob of Fulton Co. Sup. Ct. of Georgia, who said our suit was "wrongly served."  Sure fooled Judge Timothy Batten of USDC, who accepted our lawsuit on diversity.  Sure fooled Plaintiffs.  The fraud is still fraud, but it is a different fraud altogether.  I am sure the judges were tricked about this - neither of the esteemed judges would knowingly allow fraud and perjury in their courtrooms, now would they?  There is a saying in Georgia - "How 'bout them dawgs?" referring to the ball team, of course.

Did y'all know that undisclosed conflicts of interest are habitual with some law firms?  Allstate apparently had the same problem with these folks as the Neals had.  Luckily, Judge Vesvoco must have attended the right ball games and functions to know whats what. Of course, Allstate has enough money to get justice in America.  That is probably why the judge ruled in their favor when the conflict of interest was presented.  Lawsuits cost hundreds of dollars to file.  How much is justice?

I must apply for at least two positions weekly as a UI requirement.  I apply for many more than that and invite you to copy and share my cover letter with potential employers - just send them a link.  I think it may be the most interesting cover letter they will ever receive.  Thanks.

Dear Personnel Administrator:
 
The attached resume is submitted for your consideration for immediate employment opportunities.  Regarding supervisory experience, I supervised the sales efforts of 120 Avon representatives.  For five years, I was an administrative assistant to assigned Project Managers on multi-million dollar paper mill engineering projects.  Besides general administrative support, I was liaison between the Project Managers and all engineering disciplines.  My duties included coordinating the secretarial effort for projects.  I also founded an online advocacy group to help decriminalize mental illness in America, called Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill ("AIMI").  AIMI has over 200 members operating on three networks.  Our primary presence is at Care2 at this URL:  http://www.Care2.com/c2c/group/AIMI 
 
At Powell Goldstein, where I was a legal secretary for five years, I  rendered secretarial and Help Desk assistance to attorneys and paralegals who worked from home after hours.  I was hired initially to help cover the workload and train secretaries during the firm's transition from WordPerfect to Word, because I am adept at all word processing software and various other programs used in law firms for timekeeping, docketing, e-filing, etc.
 
Much of my legal experience has been in secretarial floater and word processor positions.  Until March 2008, I was one of two floater secretaries at Womble Carlyle's Atlanta office.  I prefer the variety and challenge of floating rather than having a permanent desk assignment.  Since that has been the case for over 15 years, I have significant experience in many disciplines, including litigation (personal injury defense), corporate (mergers and acquisitions), IP, corporate real estate, and more.
 
Since leaving Womble Carlyle due to the firm's reduced need for secretarial staff, I devoted my attention to advocacy on behalf of the incarcerated mentally ill and a justice quest regarding my mentally and physically handicapped brother, Larry Neal.  Larry was secretly arrested until death in Shelby County Jail in Memphis, Tennessee on August 1, 2003.  Although the USDOJ was in overview of the jail during that period following suit against the jail by the USA due to the jail's pattern of abusing inmates, the USDOJ refuses to investigate my brother's secret incarceration and death there.  During the 18 days Larry was "missing," Shelby County Jail repeatedly lied to his social worker and family and claimed he was not in custody, which prevented Larry's access to vital heart medications.  Larry had contemporaneous arrests related to his mental illness, so his survivors assume it was intentional murder for the jail to lie and keep Larry from his heart medications.  Police were apparently tired of their enforced roles as caretaker to the acute mental patient. 
 
The USDOJ and I communicated extensively about Larry's death after his demise; however, in 2005, there were federal hearings to determine if Shelby County Jail should be released from federal overview.  Shelby County Jail never reported Larry Neal's death to the USDOJ, as it was mandated to do under the terms of the jail's Agreement with the USA relative to its lawsuit.  However, that is apparently fine with the USDOJ.  The DOJ apparently allowed perjury to be entered by Shelby County Jail during federal court proceedings for the jail's release from federal overview - reports that omitted Larry Neal's secret arrest and death, although USDOJ knew about both from our correspondence on the matter that occurred prior to and since the release hearings.
 
Like most employers, you likely have a need for employees with good communication skills.  Years ago, I was a presenter on America's Shopping Channel; I have a background in direct sales; and my advocacy for the mentally ill has brought numerous opportunities to be a television and radio guest.
 
Regarding my writing skills, I invite you to review my website, which I would like to update but cannot open on my home computer because of cyberstalkers who would likely use the opportunity to attack the website.  I am followed and accosted by numerous vehicles when I attempt to work at computer rental business (see our USDC legal case for an affidavit by the business owner who had to close her business for fear of the men who came for me):
 
Wrongful Death of Larry Neal - http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com
 
Please review my articles at NowPublic:  http://www.NowPublic.com/duo
 
See my blog at Care2.com:  http://www.Care2.com/c2c/Share/Sharebook/513396753
 
Although I am available for any employment, I would prefer to work from home.  When I used to exit Womble Carlyle at night, several cars would be waiting and follow me.  Last summer, they got bold enough to waylay me at businesses in my neighborhood, and the vehicles following me on one occasion included a USDOT truck.  Unfortunately, emergency 911 police did not respond during my hour-long siege at a Chevron station on September 27, which was very frightening for my six-year-old grandson and myself.  Neither will law enforcement investigate my stalking online and in-person, despite affidavits by witnesses to these illegal acts.  See my YouTube about one of these events at these links:

COCHRAN FIRM FRAUD 2  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ5d_wju2M8
 
Look at the small album at my AIMI album link.  Click on the cover, and you will see the coffin ad that my cyberterrorist sent me one day when I posted something to my Yahoo groups that "they" did not like.   http://www.care2.com/c2c/photos/view/217/513396753/
 
Basically, my 86-year-old mother and I stay home and live like Ann Frank during WWII Germany or like runaway slaves in the Underground Railroad.  Therefore, home-based work would be best.  I have a fully equipped home office, although viruses are on most of my hardware, and I cannot guarantee the privacy of your work that I perform at home.  Cyberstalkers are quite dishonorable, and they monitor every word I type.
 
I have excellent legal research skills.  In fact, I completed two pro se lawsuits against The Cochran Firm, neither of which brought justice.  In the first lawsuit, The Cochran Firm claimed my complaint was wrongly served to the office at 127 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA, because that law office that is prolifically advertised as being a Cochran Firm office is actually NOT a Cochran Firm Office and has no connection with other Cochran Firm offices.  Judge Wendy Shoob agreed with them.  Since judges can pronounce people dead who go missing for lengths of time, I figured they could also pronounce firms not to exist.  This is a link illustrating the advertising:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlcolpUzckU  
 
With NO Cochran Firm office in Georgia, I sued The Cochran Firm in USDC under the diversity rule, with Judge Timothy Batten presiding.  Judge Batten gave summary judgment to The Cochran Firm.  About three months before the end of the case, The Cochran Firm and Judge Batten started calling my BREACH OF CONTRACT lawsuit a malpractice lawsuit.  Judge Batten determined that The Cochran Firm was not responsible for my family having missed the opportunity to sue Shelby County Jail timely despite having only a 12 month statute of limitations in Tennessee and the fact that my family was misled by The Cochran Firm for 10.5 months about legal work they never even started.  The law firm had signed contract as Larry Neal's wrongful death attorneys with NO intention of actually working in his survivors' behalf, then let 10.5 months pass without doing any work whatsoever.  The firm hid the fact that its managing partner in its Memphis office was actually a Shelby County commissioner - essentially, our defendant.  Judge Batten determined that all of that was "immaterial."  You can see some of my legal writing by accessing your PACER account.  The case was Hattie Neal and Mary Neal v. Cochran, Cherry, Givens & Smith, USDC, Northern Dist. of GA, CA No. 1:07-cv-01935, filed 8/15/07. 
 
The pleadings you will find are not really representative of my abilities, however.  This is because after I would spend a week or more creating a legal brief complete with citations, cyberstalkers would delete the pleadings from my home computer, leaving me only an hour or two to recreate the document and file the pleading in USDC.  Frequently, I would find that my computer's A drive and CD/DVD player had been disconnected to prevent my being able to save pleadings on removable discs.  This made it impossible to keep my data safe.  (I am not allowed to be the administrator of my own computers - that role is repeatedly removed from me on every computer I plug in at home.)  Of course, it was also unsafe to leave home and work at computer rental locales due to the in-person stalkers.  Not being my computer's administrator is very taxing, especially since the Rules of Civil Procedure are online as Adobe documents, and cyberstalkers removed the Adobe program off my home computers.  I was not able to reload  the program since I am not the administrator of my computer.  Despite all of this illegal, unethical interference, I made it to the end of both cases, but found that my family's avenue to a jury trial was blocked by the judges' rulings.
 
It would be helpful be back in a law firm again partly because of the cyberstalking I incur using my home computers.  I used to stay after work and send emails and do research at law firms where I worked since Larry's death.  Although there were attempts to interfere with my efforts even in the law firms, I would simply move to another computer.  Now I have to pay to get my computers wiped clean or buy new ones, which is expensive, especially while living off mere unemployment.
 
Since we have an administration in Washington that believes in open disclosure now, we hope this will be remedied soon.  Therefore, if I begin as a home-based worker, it may some day be safe for me to commute to work, hopefully.  I believe part of my stalking is caused by the fact that mainstream media will report none of this; therefore, there is apparently the hope of containing this information.  I try to dispell that FUTILE hope by blogging about this gross injustice, praying that exposure will make things safer for my family members, some of whom have also been subjected to threats and other unpleasantness.
 
I function well where there is a demand for speed, efficiency, adaptability, and good interpersonal skills.  I understand the importance of teamwork and derive great personal satisfaction from my ability quickly assess the needs of my principals and meet objectives.  Please contact me by e-mail or phone to arrange a personal interview.  My phone number is xxx-xxx-xxxx.  Thank you for your kind attention to this query.  I hope to hear from you soon.
 
Sincerely,
 /s/
Mary Neal

HOW'S THAT?  Wish me luck!  Neither Cochran, Cherry, Givens & Smith nor Carlock, Copeland, Semlar & Stair (their attorneys) need bother to respond to this query.

To ensure that employers see my job application, I posted at Craigslist and will post it at MonsterJobs and other such sites.  I have been told those online job sites get good results sometimes.  Change.org has many positions listed, but one must send a separate application to each.:

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/res/1227373983.html

Frankly, I did not expect to need to apply for jobs again and never planned to ever LOOK at another computer.  Goes to show ya . . .Man plans, but God decides.

Blessings!
