    So scotty u think that big corporations with lawyers guarantees honesty and propriety? You must not watch the news or read much. Lets see the government has all kinds of lawyers and legal experts probably smarter than you, and still they constantly get found out for criminal activity. Pop goes your balloon. The last time we talked I thought you were smart

    I wanna know WHY.

    In most places stalking is a criminal offense and prosecuted by the DA. From what Jerry is saying, I'm wondering if there was a criminal investigation here. I'm suspecting this woman filed a civil suit not a criminal action. What the basis of that suit was may be unclear and depend on local laws.

The judge had no choice no proof no order. and the ACS I think refuses to except the verdict of the judge. My attorney charged me 750 bucks to represent me thats what this mess costed me. I DID NOTHING PERIOD.

    The problem here is you don't know WHY the ACS took what action they did. It may have nothing to do with this woman. You only have your suspicions. You were not really harmed by this (I think you said your donation was returned). So you really need to move on.

    excon I am very sorry that I have mislead you. There was no trial. The judge had a hearing to decide the merit of the lady's petition to place a restraining order to eventually send me to jail if I breached the orderd. She failed to get what she wanted. That was an attempt to put me in jail for stalking. I did not stalk her she stalked me. She tried to prevent me from going to my doctors office. And she claimed that she went to the walkathon site often but it turns out that she only goes there one day a year. She never mentioned the store I shop at. She tried to prevent me frodm walking legally but failed then turned around did it the other way she used the ACS.

    Hello again, Jerry:

    I LOVE your short paragraphs. Keep it up.

    Certainly, lawyers on staff doesn't prevent corruption, greed or self dealing... But, that argument is a red herring. What Scott wants to know. What we ALL want to know, is exactly what crime did they commit?? What tortuous action did they DO to you. How did they harm you? Who, amongst your peers, think less of you because of what they did?? What jobs were denied you because of what they did?

    excon well I also left out the fact that they only changed the name on her page no where else I donated to several ladies. I am very compassionate when it comes to breast cancer since my mother died from it.

    VERY interesting. The OP wants to sue the ACS and also wants to punish the credit card companies for expecting him to pay back what he purchased:

    Time to close. OP is becoming insulting and running around in circles.

    No I don't, nor is that what I said. Your analogy doesn't hold much water. There is a difference between people trying to get away with criminal activity or malfeasance and an organization protecting itself.

    But I can't see an organization with the size and reputation of the ACS coming down hard on someone for the circumstances you relate. I'm not saying its impossible or that it didn't happen, but it doesn't make a lot of sense.

    The bottom line here is that you don't know why they did what they did. And you will not know, especially with your angry attitude. I see three options for you; 1) forget it and move on with your life, 2) have your attorney send a query to ask for an explanation of their actions against you or 3) go to the media to try and find out what happened. Maybe the threat of negative publicity will get them to explain.

    I vote for #1 since the only thing that has really been injured is your pride.

    P.S. We do not allow personal attacks here. Please be careful about insulting people.

    Why are you donating money when you owe so much to your credit card debt?

    You caught it too, eh? :)

    Maybe he wants to "punish" the ACS, too.

    Some of you folks may think I meant there was a trial to clear that up it was a hearing where the judge decided whether or not the lady need a protection order he said no and nearly arrested her for her bad behavior.

    Jerry, let me interject here if I may. I am a breast cancer survivor... I was a member of ACS during my cancer treatment. The ACS is VERY protective of their clients, almost to a fault (pun intended). It is quite possible that she made a complaint against you to her ACS counselor and this is why your name was changed from her page only.

    I also would like to say that I am very sorry about your loss, I know how hard it is having lost many friends to the disease myself.

    Plus in that thread he mentions his weapon and the amount of rounds he has. Disturbing indeed.
