... and the rest of the fragments aren't even aligned correctly...

I'll lay everything out—exactly how the process unfolded and what went wrong—once I find a window of time later tonight.

he-hee... he-he-heeee...

A friend once labeled me the "man with a million problems"... there’s no quick fix for that; you’d need decades and a massive fortune to sort it out... and just to balance the scales, I’d probably need to step in and help all of sub-Saharan Africa... 😉

Thanks anyway. It’s actually nice to see threads like this pop up; it almost restores my faith in humanity...

Have you seen Amélie? Such a charming little movie with a great concept...

Casey Palmer5 said:No, this just isn't right. Why on earth wouldn't you just call up the orthopedic surgeon who actually performed the procedure?

And he claims everything is just fine...

So, judging by this photo, what’s the verdict: are we looking at a perfectly restored, 100% functional shoulder with a properly fitted prosthetic—or just a massive failure on the part of modern medicine?

Honestly, it looks to me like she’s dealing with some serious self-doubt, and those manic tendencies might just be a defense mechanism from being bullied by everyone around her. Kids can be absolute monsters when they pick a target, right? It’s a cycle. I went through something pretty similar during my teenage years... How did I pull myself out of the gutter? Eventually, I just got sick of feeling like a complete loser. One day I just decided "no more Mr. Nice Guy." I threw myself into athletics, hit the gym until I actually built some muscle, found someone to love—which was a huge motivator—and moved on to high school where the social circle was totally different. And guess what? The new crowd embraced me completely. Now, I’m practically bursting with mental health* 😍.
Personally, I wouldn't touch psychiatric meds at such a young age; they often do more harm than good. A few honest, heartfelt talks with real friends usually go much further...

*Well... let's be real... during the dark moments, I can't exactly claim to be the happiest person alive. Some scars just never fully heal...

Is anyone actually willing to lend a hand here?

Jonathan Ortiz2 said:Nobody should be allowed to just drone on indefinitely without actually backing up their claims with some real arguments. Even if that’s exactly what "we" were aiming for.

Honestly, the discussion was staying pretty civil, and I don't think there was any real reason to shut it down. If you ask me, they probably pulled the plug on this one for the exact same reasons they killed off those last two threads before they even had a chance to get moving.

I’ve been glancing through the "Analyses" section lately, and I couldn't help but notice things have taken a turn. It seems like the language has become increasingly offensive and vulgar in there. Is that why the topic was shut down, or am I just missing something?

It’s honestly a shame to shut down a thread like this—it’s one of the few places where you can actually dismantle propaganda with some actual logic. I’m speaking in general terms here; it’s not as if I’ve been glued to the updates lately.

Regarding casualharbor9, maybe don't jump into things you clearly don't understand.
The post was made at 9:59 PM, the warning hit at 10:24 PM, and then he edited it (removing the specific part that triggered the warning) at 10:51 PM. That's a clean 25-minute gap between every single action. 😉
Then there's the threat that if this happens again, he'll face a Partial from the PZ at 12:33 AM.

...

Sometimes I’m typing while on the clock, trying to catch up on things after editing posts, and other times I’m posting from some godforsaken spot where my laptop and internet connection are as reliable as a rusted-out nuclear power plant. You can see it in my other posts too—if anyone actually cares to look.
If that's the case, what is the purpose of the edit button anyway, and why is it available for such a long window?

Anyway, I regret scrubbing the flagged part: honestly, it felt pretty appropriate (though I don't recall the exact wording—I was a little buzzed and pretty exhausted 😍)

And if you moderate with a bit of bias sometimes—well, you do. But nobody's perfect.

... man, just thinking about Endymion 😍

Brian Edwards6 said:In my personal opinion and based on how things work right now, no, a wage garnishment isn't a criminal offense. If you think otherwise, feel free to reach out to the Department of Justice, where you'll get a specific, well-substantiated answer that will—hopefully—satisfy you.👍

I never stated that collecting a debt is a crime; I said that taking an action that endangers someone's life—especially through illegal means—is a crime. I hope we can at least agree on that.
Personal opinions don't dictate whether something is legal or if it constitutes a crime, and if current practices are illegal, then they need to be changed.

The question I'm actually trying to pose concerns police procedure (we haven't even gotten to the Department of Justice yet): how does the Department of Homeland Security react when a documented case of endangering life and health is reported involving a government agency, a corporation, or individuals within them?
(And if they don't react—why?)

On the other hand, isn't it a potential crime that you and I went into debt knowing we wouldn't be able to pay it back? Doesn't that part worry you?😕

It doesn't worry me, because losing your job due to medical reasons—and subsequently being unable to meet a contractual obligation—isn't a crime.
What worries me is this legal and social system where individuals who live and work honestly their entire lives are pushed to the brink of existence due to someone else's guilt, arrogance, and negligence, while this so-called "rule of law" remains completely untouched... except for those who have the likes of Nobilo, Prodanović, or Hodak in their pockets. Those people aren't allowed to suffer even from fictitious mental anguish, even if, according to current practice, they are worse than Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan combined.

Brian Edwards6 said:We aren't debating here. You asked, and you were answered; we can't help you if the answer doesn't satisfy you.🤷

Of course the improvised justification of illegal and punishable actions doesn't satisfy me.
I haven't seen a single legal citation used as a counterargument. Which is understandable, given that this isn't the Law subforum.

If you want to have a real discussion, there are appropriate threads over in the Exactly and on the Economy subforum too.👍

... assuming those are actually topics meant for open discussion; thanks. Though I’m starting to suspect you guys just want me gone.

I mean, every time I click the :QUOTE: icon, I just get redirected to some landing page for Tempur-Pedic mattresses.😍

crimsonsailor7 said:How much more clearly can we explain that isn't what this is about? 🤷

... so please, enlighten me as to which part of this is incorrect:

1) It is illegal to garnish an individual's entire monthly income (wages, Social Security, disability benefits, etc.)

2) Depriving someone of their full monthly income puts their life and health at risk (unless food, water, housing, and everything else required for survival are just handed out for free? Or does a person typically manage to survive for 30 days without any of those things?!)

3) Endangering lives or property through reckless actions or means is a punishable offense under U.S. law.

Why are we even debating this in this section of the forum?

... maybe we should actually ask people which labels they're talking about: which specific term is the one that actually gets under their skin?

Brian Edwards6 said:Just because something violates a regulation doesn't automatically make it a criminal offense. 👍

So, what, endangering someone's life or health through negligence—or whatever else might be going on here—isn't a crime?

And yeah, technically that doesn't fit the legal definition of "unlawful collection."👍

Poor choice of words... on several levels, I'd say.

P.S.: Regarding the discussion itself, I agree that if you have specific legal questions, they should be posted in the appropriate thread (like the one for debt collection, just to avoid any confusion).👍

Then where am I supposed to ask about police misconduct when an illegal procedure puts lives or health at risk?

Brian Edwards6 said:Now you're just stretching this topic out in every possible direction. Sure, a police investigation happens when someone's life or health is threatened (though even that isn't an absolute rule, since other agencies handle different kinds of threats), but no, they don't step in just because the Federal Reserve decides to garnish my entire paycheck. There are plenty of more appropriate threads for that, and "police investigation" isn't one of them.👍

I'm "stretching the topic"—or is it just that someone in this country is arbitrarily seizing judicial, executive, and legislative powers simply because they have the opportunity?

therefore; the law distinguishes based on motives, methods, and means regarding threats to life and health—so based on that, the executive branch initiates (or doesn't) a proceeding, and then the judiciary convicts or acquits???
Where exactly does it say that? Please, give me a quote or a source.

Yes.👍

Was that a lawful or unlawful procedure?
What constitutes illegal debt collection? Doesn't financial crime fall under the jurisdiction of the police?

Is this actually the Legal subforum, or am I just being trolled here?

crimsonsailor7 said:I just can't bring myself to believe it. 🤦

Honestly, I’m right there with you. It's hard to wrap your head around what fiscal tyranny has actually done to the people in this country.

Brian Edwards6 said:This question makes zero sense in a thread about a police investigation. Like crimsonsailor7 already pointed out, you aren't going to get any real answers here that won't just be total nonsense anyway.👍

What’s the logic here? Are we supposed to believe that the police just don't launch an investigation when someone's actual life or health is on the line?

Just to be clear, I’m coming at this from a few different angles: I’m speaking as a police officer, as a moderator, and as someone who has personally had their entire last paycheck frozen and seized by the Federal Reserve—though maybe not necessarily in that exact order.👍

So, they actually took your entire paycheck?

crimsonsailor7 said:The laws apply to everyone equally, but you can't just lump them all together like that. Criminal law and civil law are two entirely separate branches—different statutes, different procedures. Just because you feel like the Federal Reserve swindled you doesn't mean they actually did, and it certainly doesn't mean you can report it to the cops.
In any case, let's move on from the collection proceedings; we're done here.

I don't have an opinion on whether someone acted with malice, by accident, or through pure negligence. If an illegal action puts a life at risk and there's clear evidence of it, then it becomes a matter for a police investigation. That’s why I’m looking for an answer from the perspective of someone like Brian Edwards6, rather than some judge acting as prosecutor and jury combined...
Please don't try to shift the goalposts when we're already playing in the big leagues. 😉

therefore: is there any logical reason why a moderator or admin wouldn't want me asking about a police investigation within a thread specifically dedicated to discussing police investigations?

Cheers for now, hoping I don't find this thread locked tomorrow morning...

crimsonsailor7 said:It’s a matter of civil liability. Not every single violation of the law qualifies as a criminal offense, nor is everyone held accountable under criminal statutes for everything. Your speeding example doesn't really apply here.

What kind of act is it to leave someone to die like a tied-up dog through an unlawful procedure? —sorry, my bad, dear animal lovers...
My speeding example isn't relevant—because apparently, not all laws apply to everyone?

It doesn't grant immunity if a criminal act was committed, and I didn't say it did.
But, so I don't troll you further by answering your questions, we can just move this discussion over to a legal forum.

...

Like I said, we could talk about collections. Of course, it would be helpful if you described the situation with more than just "the Federal Reserve took my money," so we actually know how to proceed.

...we could have just headed straight there 🙂, though I'm not sure if I'll have the energy left today... and there are still plenty of us in this country who have matured enough to want to hang that avatar of yours around our necks...

So, what exactly was wrong with my question? Is there a more appropriate place where I can go ahead and rephrase it?

crimsonsailor7 said:You admitted yourself that you were just trolling, therefore it’s pretty obvious why it was deleted.

I’ll be the first to admit it: I was trolling. That happened during the part where I jumped in to build on that previous post, and yeah, I actually owned up to it.

I know exactly what you’re getting at, which is why I mentioned earlier that this isn't the right thread for this specific question. The Federal Reserve operates based on the mandates and orders they receive. Even if they actually did mess up on their end, we’re looking at civil liability here, not criminal charges.

What does "civic responsibility" actually mean? Am I exercising any kind of "civic responsibility" if I’m flying down the highway at 90 mph, completely oblivious to the fact that the speed limit just dropped to 35? And then, because I couldn't be bothered to adjust my speed, I cause a massive pileup? Can I just shrug my shoulders at the end of it all and say, "Sorry, I didn't realize the limit changed here," and expect everyone to just let me off the hook?

Since when does being ignorant of the facts grant you immunity from criminal liability? In my opinion, it doesn't. The Federal Reserve (or perhaps some unknown entity within the agency)... They took my entire monthly income—which, by the way, I earned elsewhere and wasn't even working for the Federal Reserve to get—and that’s completely illegal. Correct me if I'm wrong here. No court or debt collection agency ever issued an order like this. A garnishment order (assuming one even exists, since I wasn't notified) is supposed to be for specific collections, right? Or is the court acting outside the law now, just sending out orders to seize every last cent of someone's basic living funds?

So, what exactly is the role of the police then? Is the Department of Justice just some private security firm running on a limited liability model? Or is the Federal Reserve somehow exempt from the law by some secret clause?

You haven't been deprived of anything. 🤷 You posed your question regarding those two topics with such rigid formality, yet you completely failed to explain what the actual issue is. You unnecessarily derailed the entire discussion by jumping to the extreme conclusion that this was an attempted murder. Honestly, all of this could have stayed within the thread about foreclosures, where it actually belongs, and been resolved there.

Could this be considered attempted murder, or at least reckless endangerment? I’ve gone into more detail on that specific point elsewhere—which is something that really needs to be addressed here—but isn't intentionally stripping someone of food, water, shelter, sleep, and every other basic necessity required for human survival for 30 or 31 days essentially an attempt to kill them? Luckily, air is still free.
It’s obvious that the Law sub should be strictly focused on content, but does one really need to go out and prove physiological facts just to avoid being labeled a troll?

Besides, we’re discussing this in all the wrong places. Honestly, someone could easily argue you’re just trolling the thread at this point...
