I came late to this particular party, but I think quite a few of you need to take a vacation. Not a points vacation, a real one.First of all thanks, I'm a fan of your reviews and such as well....It would be nearly impossible to explain in full detail the reason for my distrust and hostility of the cjs without divulging way too much personal information in which for obvious reasons, is not gonna happen on an escort/client message board. However, I can say my experience not only altered my perception of the cjs, but life in general as well. Assuming you've read the thread from the beginning, you seen where the original topic took a turn in a different direction. One of the earlier exchanges between LL and myself involved his argument that hazards in the petro/chem industry were not comparable to the hazards of being a DA or ADA where dangers could follow you home from the workplace....in which I gave him a clear example of how they could IF the proper measures and precautions were not taken.....which of course spun off even more topics.....We don't go out with the intention everyday to blow up half a city or cause an environmental incident any more than you plan on being shot at by a pissed off convict hell bent on revenge....BUT, you better be prepared for it in case it does happen.
Russ, I'm a fan of most of your stuff, but a lot of your comments on this thread really pissed me off. I'm truly sorry your experiences with our criminal justice system haven't been to your satisfaction. I'm sure you've got your reasons, they might even be valid. But in my very personal experience, most of the people working in it are pretty damn decent, open to a reasonable argument, and fine with being lenient on stupid shit if their bosses aren't completely micro-managing them. There are and will always be exceptions, and it's the nature of the beast that the exceptions garner much more attention and publicity than those doing it the right way. It's kind of like hobbying that way.
I've been an ADA and a defense attorney, and the idea that you're ok with public servants AND their family members being murdered in horrific fashion... Dude, I don't even know what to say about that. "Reap what you sow"? I assume you're a Kauffman County resident and can tell me specifically what the DA's wife did to sow this particular ending? Or is that just collateral damage that you're okay with? Originally Posted by TransAm

You mentioned you were a ADA at one time correct? Yet you are a hobbyist engaged in what the cjs considers an illegal activity....it's exactly that type of hypocritical mentality of "do as I say, not as I do" that creates the unfavorable opinion of the cjs and the people who work in it.
Also don't forget, much of what I say does stem from true resentment of cjs however, alot is also said for nothing more than pure shock value purposes.
