Subject: Disabled and seniors against lazy politicians and Judges: Measure “I”

On May 18, 2005 about 4:30 pm, I called and complained to Willo Couey, my Dept. of Aging and Adult Services reprehensive. I told her, on the phone message machine, about the way I was disrespectfully treated by the Marta buss services male phone operator. I requested her to register my complaint with Marta. About 15 minutes later Ms Couey returns my message and switches me back over to the same disrespectful Marta person. The Marta person hangs up on me. I quickly call back Ms Couey but she does not answer her phone so I left another message about the disrespectful Marta person.

I then called back the Dept. of Aging and Adult Services and got to talk to two very helpful people, one had a first name of Ranc, and they helped me get the names of Ms Couey two supervisors.

The point being is that my initial complaint, about the buss being an hour late, was over shadowed by the rudeness of the people I sought to help correct the problem. I’m afraid that to complain to the superiors of those who treated me so rudely would only again reflect more ruddiness. That just seems to be the way our government acts. I say this based on the world news reports that show little or no accountability is needed by government-contracted employees.

Measure “I”, is the half-cent LOCAL TAX that pays for San Bernardino County transportation projects including Buss Services for Senior persons with disabilities. Seniors and disabled people need to vote out our current political leaders and get new leaders. New leaders that can make government employees enforce the laws that are on the books to protect us disabled senior citizens.

Here is a group someone should start:
“Disabled Seniors Against Lazy Politicians & Judges”

Subject: Abusing the old and deteriorating by the Seventh Day Adventist Church
OR Abusing the old by the deteriorating Seventh Day Adventist Church

This is my complaint letter about my complaining to the San Bernardino, Dept. of Aging, in regards to the quality of the free food, which is distributed by Seventh Day Adventist Church, for their “special group of elderly over the age of 50”.

Around the beginning of March 2005 I complained to the Dept. of Ageing because while picking up my free food at the above-mentioned church, I saw a pack of business cards from a San Bernardino, Dept. of Ageing representative.

On April 13, 2005 while I was walking out from the above-mentioned church with my free food, a woman volunteer asked me why I was complaining about the food. I asked her how she new I had complained. She said that, oh you know, people talk. I said something to the fact that I didn’t like the church feeding us old people garbage.
(I was referring to my detailed complaint to the Dept. of Ageing which I point out that the food provided for this “special group of elderly” contained too much salt: 2 large packages of saltine crackers. Too much sugar: brownie cake mix, small chocolate pie, donuts, and candy. Too much fat: cream cheese, and pork.)
This 5 foot 2, 150 pound woman volunteer, who I hear someone call Jane and drove a new gray 4 door Lincoln, license plate # 3WAN333, said to me that she had been a member of the church for 48 years and if I didn’t like the food I should stop coming here.

I told her that I have been paying taxes for over 40 years, was a Vietnam Veteran and if she couldn’t deal with an old disabled poor person complaining then she should stop volunteering. I also said that Jesus was a complainer and she said no He wasn’t.

I’m now looking for people to join my new old gang called:
Luke: Chapter 15, Verse 16. (LC1516)


Thanks for reading my complaint letter,
Carl G. Mueller, Nam 68

Subject:
Phone conversation with Sue Crain of the Big Bear computer club May 4, 2005.

I’m sorry that our phone conversation had to end so fast. I’m sorry but I have to refuse your free membership into the club, but thank the unrevealed contributor for their willingness to pay my membership fee of $25.00. The embarrassment of obtaining special transportation to attend evening meetings is too uncomfortable for me and besides by 5:00 pm my world is just about on stop.

Here are some of the matters I would like to deal with if our phone conversation would have been able to continue and if I would of become a computer club member.

At your meeting tomorrow or any time for that matter, try and talk to Bill, the treasurer for the Senior Citizen Center, about getting high speed cable connection so then I could teach the seniors.

I kind of got the impression from Bill, in a resent conversation, that money was available for such an endeavor. Bill appeared to be impressed that FREE email services could be obtained without owning a computer.

I’m pretty certain I can get seniors excited enough that the two computers at the Senior Center might not be enough once they learn about getting FREE email without owning a computer, thus possible sales from the Senior Center for your computer club members that sell computers.

I could also teach: Sending photos by email, Senior chat centers and creating free web blogs of various topics (my specialty is political complaining). With the help of the club, and a donation by only one of the many many property owner millionaires, I could of learned to teach the set up of Web cams to view grandchildren etc., and wireless phones could show us oldies doing activities outside the Senior Center.

With such a healthy loving environment for teaching seniors, and the help of a few quality sit-down bus stops at the hospital and Senior Center, Big Bear could be a Senior friendly community rather then just a tourists and Real Estate town.

The above could be taught as I teach myself at the Senior Center. But I’m not going to take on such an endeavor with an Internet phone line hook up. Quality computers and a High-speed cable connect is necessary at the Senior Center to get me involved in FREE teaching.

In closing let me say that I’m sending this email to others whom I assume, like the computer club, might be interest in helping our Big Bear seniors. Their email address and brief description was found in the Big Bear Magazine, May / June 2005 edition, page 46. www.bigbearmagazine.com

This letter as a blog is connected as a link but then again unconnected as to a particular reply to the linked letters subject. This FREE web bloging connection/threads is something I need to teach myself and possibly to interested Big Bear Seniors. Not all blog sites have the same format. I don’t know where this letter will be at the time of this writing but most likely connected with the top letter to the lethargic Big Bear Sheriffs department where I complain about Eastern Arab accented men using obscene language to emphasize their wanting to kill me.

Thanks again Judi Taber for helping in the quality of the FREE food for those over the age of 55 distributed at Big Bear Seventh Day Adventist Church, but I did get a chewing out for complaining by a church member of over 48 years. I think I posted the complaint letter on the above-mentioned blog. At least she didn’t say she wanted to kill me

San Bernardino County Sheriff Gary Penrod
@Internal Affairs Division
655 E. Third Street
San Bernardino, CA 92415

Dear Sheriff Gary Penrod:

The Supreme Court, “Castle Rock vs. Gonzales” is now hearing arguments over the failure of police to respond to a court order, ending with the mother’s 3 children shot to death by ex-husband. Also seen on 60 Minutes on Sunday March 20, 2005, and to me 60 Minutes showed the Police Captain lying. The LA Times story on 3/22/05, “Justices Wary of Suing Police for Inaction” page A6, states the ruling on the “Castle Rock vs. Gonzales” case is expected by late June.

“My Sheriff’s Condescending Reflection”
My Big Bear Lake CA, 90 day Indecent Report #160500557 on Monday, March 21, 2005 is a much lesser event because I’m alive to write about it. Here is a short version of my story of the San Bernardino, CA., Sheriffs Department’s non-action and condescending attitude towards a verbal threat on my life. Warning this story uses the mother F, phrase.

Walking back from Bolder Bay Market, located on Bear Valley Boulevard, on Monday March 21, 2005, about 9:00 a.m., I noticed two men taking bags of trash out of their newer type of gray Minnie-van, first three digits of the license plate where 2EV, and placing the trash into a fully loaded private trash container near the corner of Willow Landing and Blue Jay road. The trash containers where part of the condominium complex and written on the trash container was: Privet No Dumping. I asked the two men if they lived there and they said no. I said you can’t put your trash there; it’s for those who live in the complex. I said you got to take you trash out of there and take it to the public dump one mile down the street.

The shorter man told me, in a Middle Eastern Accent, that I should mind my own business and what makes me think I can tell him what to do? I then started walking to the front of their van and said, I’m a United States citizen and you are breaking the law. The same man said that I should mind my own fucking business and get out of here. I said, “I got your license plate number and you’re in trouble now.” I turned and walked away.

“I’ll kill you mother f*c*er.” I heard one of the men holler.

I then turned around and saw both men walking towards me, and I said, “You would kill me over such a minor incident, that’s just the kind of people you are.”

The two men continued walking towards me and I turned around and started walking the other way. I then heard one men say let’s get out of here. Five minutes later I was at my home calling 911 and a Sheriffs deputy arrived 5 minutes later. I told my story but no reference of a written report was mentioned. Later that day I recalled the Sheriff’s Department and requested to file a report.

Deputy Sheriff Mike Broadhurst arrived and gave me his business card with the incident number on the back #160500557. Deputy Broadhurst told me my complaint of being threatened was NOT a severe enough threat to be considered for a internal permanent report, but the threat was deserving enough to be left on the computer for 90 days as an indecent report. Deputy Broadhurst told me that the trash discarded by the two men had been found to be general weekend party type trash.

Connect the dots.
1. We are at war with Islamic radicals.
2. The trash, according to Deputy Mike Broadhurst, contained party type trash.
3. That weekend was the Second Anniversary of the war with Islamic radicals.
4. When a man seriously threatens to kill you; that IS radical, in my opinion.

I hope on the Third Anniversary of the war with Islamic radicals, that words of killing are still just words of terrorization and not actions. That is why I might send this letter to newspapers and others because it may possibly be a reminder next year. Not an erased and forgotten 90-day incident report. One advantage the enemy has is time.

One person I shared this story with felt that having your life threatened is a serious matter. Another person said the Sheriffs Department is too lazy to fill out the paper work and they really don’t care. The Big Bear local newspaper, “The Grisly” said they would wait to see what the Sheriffs Department does with the story before making a decision.

Keeping the 60 Minutes story and The Supreme Court, “Castle Rock vs. Gonzales” case in mind, let me ask two questions to the Internal Affairs Division.
1. If Sheriff Gary Penrod’s Internal Affairs Division takes me being threatened by Islamic Radicals as a serious matter, because they are an enemy we are at war with, is the Sheriff’s Department then obligated to respond with more then a 90-day indecent report?

2. Does a serious non-action response, such as a 90-day indecent report, open the door for a state lawsuit? (4th paragraph from the end in the above-mentioned LA Times Article: “Bush administration lawyer says, “The failure to act may lead to a suit in the state courts.”)

Carl G. Mueller, Nam 68

San Bernardino County Sheriff Gary Penrod…………………….. April 7, 2005
@Internal Affairs Division
655 E. Third Street
San Bernardino, CA 92415

Dear Sheriff Gary Penrod, @Internal Affairs Division:

Thank you for having Lt. Catalano call me. I requested that he send me a copy of Deputies report #160500557. I received it today April 7, 2005. I was disappointed in the truthfulness of the information and lack of sincerity. The report appears to me as if the Sheriffs department is looking for loopholes to justify their minor concern of a threat on a citizen’s life, thus the Sheriffs department is not responsible if citizens life’s are threatened by Middle Eastern men, because the citizenry of Big Bear, CA never reported threats on their lives as serious.

Lt. Catalano lied over the phone because he said that the Sheriffs department takes my life being threatened as very serious. The report shows a priority of four. Four is the lowest rating and only ratings of 1 and 2 are acknowledged as life threatening.

16th line from the bottom of the report is a lie where it reads:
Mueller said he is not in fear for his immediate safety.
As my letter indicates, and your report is wrong again, I was walking away from the two men when they threaten to kill me and when I turned around they where still walking towards me. For your report to say I’m not in fear for my safety is a lie and unsafe to the citizens of Big Bear Lake, CA.

Second last line of the report reads, RP (reporting person) does not know if the subjects were staying in the condos where the trash was placed in the dumpster.
In the third paragraph of my March 22, 2005 letter it reads, I asked the two men if they lived there and they said no.

The Sheriff Dept. sends me a computer-generated report with no account of a signature representing responsibility for the contents of the report. This shows me the San Bernardino County Sheriff Dept. is insensitive towards the public they serve and trained to provide the public with as little information as possible. The Sheriffs Dept. computer-generated report shows the Sheriffs Dept. is a disgrace in dealing with the public in a written professional manner. I think that disgrace is the fault of the Internal Affairs Division. I request you Sheriff Gary Penrod show some leadership in correcting this condescending type attitude towards the public you are paid to protect. Failure to show any real effort in respecting our own laws, on all levels of government, is why America has become an ignominy in the eyes of the world.

Sincerely,
Carl G. Mueller, Nam 68
PS Let this letter be my request to show a greater need for the Patriot Act not only to be preserved but also expanded. I can live with my life being abused by the CA, San Bernardino Sheriffs dept. and their obnoxious court system. I don’t like it as my many previous letters have indicated, but I can’t live with my life being threatened and having no protection.
