THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY DEKALB CRISIS CENTER: Independence Day (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Independence Day (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Independence Day, also commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States of America commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain (now officially known as the United Kingdom). Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the National Day of the United States.

During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia declaring the United States independent from Great Britain. After voting for independence, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision, which had been prepared by a Committee of Five, with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author. Congress debated and revised the wording of the Declaration, finally approving it on July 4.  A day earlier, John Adams had written to his wife Abigail:

The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.

Historians have long disputed whether Congress actually signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, even though Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin all later wrote that they had signed it on that day. Most historians have concluded that the Declaration was signed nearly a month after its adoption, on August 2, 1776, and not on July 4 as is commonly believed.

In a remarkable coincidence, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the only signers of the Declaration of Independence later to serve as Presidents of the United States, died on the same day: July 4, 1826, which was the 50th anniversary of the Declaration. Although not a signer of the Declaration of Independence, but another Founding Father who became a President, James Monroe, died on July 4, 1831, thus becoming the third President in a row who died on this memorable day. Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President, was born on July 4, 1872, and, so far, is the only President to have been born on Independence Day.

Casey Anthony freed from US jail early Sunday - Yahoo! News

Seven gruelling days without any information or reasons given why I was placed in Dekalb Crisis instead of taken to jail when I insisted on being read my Miranda rights. (In my mind, either I had broken a law or not; wanted everything said and done from that point as evidence rather than he said/she said. There were just too many people involved, and felt that the fact I lived alone with two cats was unfairly being taken advantage of.  It was the only way I could think of to get everyone (family, neighbors, work associates, friends, etc.) on the same page...

Handed papers with rules supposed to adhere to while there.  Not only would they not read the rules to me after refusing to accept the papers, repeatedly telling them I needed reading glasses; they wouldn't even temporally loan me their glasses  to read them quickly right then and there....

 Tested negative for Chrystal Meth, HIV, TB, blood drawn for god knows what, numerous temps as well as blood pressure readings taken every day, constantly handed cups to piss in, question about my bowel movement 2-3 times daily....

On the sixth day, which happened to be Monday 4th of July, no nothing except bare essential as most staff had the day off, hearing aid battery goes dead.  Not only no glasses to read; no one to call to bring me a battery.  Repeatedly being told they were working on getting me a battery without letting me tell them what battery size I needed. Even suggested having a cop swing by my place and get one....free....out of my Jeep which was unlocked.  Couldn't have conversations with the other "consumers" as we were derogatorily referred to as; viewed  a tax burden in an underfunded program with finite resources instead of "patients" with real problems...
 
Finally meeting a doctor on the seventh day, just before noon on Tuesday, everyone back from having Monday 4th of July day off,  face to face who couldn't figure out why I was in the Georgia Regional Hospital/Atlanta.  He was expecting me to answer that question as he had no clue after scanning seven days worth of papers/notes supposedly kept in a file with my name on it....


Couldn't honestly answer that question either, except that I had a Chrystal Meth addiction ended up having to do my own intervention as I was extremely isolated and alone; only to end up even more isolated and alone.

So he switched me from involuntary commitment to voluntary commitment and informed me I was allowed to check myself out if I wanted to leave....


No recommended counseling or medications to take....

Waiting around another 7 hours as they prepared the discharge papers and arrange cab fare home....

And just before they told me a cab was on it way.......

The verdict of Casey Anthony trails was splashed acrossed the television  in writing I could read...

Acquitted of all charges except misleading statements to police! 

Everyone appalled at the verdict; with only me jumping around in joy .


THAT FAMILY WAS FUCKED UP!  AND IT WAS WRONG FOR CASEY TO BE PUT ON TRAIL FOR THAT POOR LITTLE GIRLS DEATH ALONE!  NO DOUBT IN MY MIND CLUES WERE PLENTIFUL LONG BEFORE THAT TRAGIC DAY!  EVERYONE TOO BUSY LIVING IN DENIAL! OR BELIEVING SOMEONES ELSE RESPONSIBILITY!  CAYLEE DEATH WAS A BLESSING FOR THAT LITTLE GIRL.  WHO WOULD HAVE NOTICED THE ABUSED HAD SHE NOT DISAPPEARED TO BEGIN WITH?

THEN I ARRIVED HOME TO AN EMPTY HOT HOUSE; SOMEONE APPARENTLY HAVING TURNED THE AIR CONDITIONER OFF....  AND THAT SMELLED OF DEATH.  CHICKEN FLORENTINE PASTA DISH HAD SAT UNREFRIGERATED FOR SEVEN DAYS ON THE STOVE. 

FORTUNATELY FOR MY TWO CATS...THEY HAD THE COOL BASEMENT TO RETREAT TO AS WELL AS HOME IN TIME TO FEED THEM AS THEY HAD VERY LITTLE LEFT.
WHEN I WENT BACK TO DEKALB CRISIS CENTER TO GET COPIES OF MEDICAL RECORDS;  HARDLY ANYTHING OF IMPORTANCE; NOT EVEN THE ELEVATED TEMPERATURE UPON ADMITTANCE HAVING  SAT HANDCUFFED, SWEATING, UNATTENDED, BACK SEAT, POLICE CAR, AIR CONDITIONED BUT TURNED OFF AT FIRST UNTIL TURNED ON WHEN I TOLD THE COP ON A BRIEF RETURN: "YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FAST A DOG OR BABY CAN DIED LEFT ALONE IN A SEALED CAR!".   EVEN THEN CONTINUED TO SWEAT PROFUSELY AS THE AIR WAS  NOT CIRCULATING AROUND THE SOLID PLEXIGLAS DIVIDER TO THE BACK SEAT FAST ENOUGH.

AND THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE ARRIVE AT THE CRISIS CENTER WITH DISORGANIZED BEHAVIOR.

IN AND OUT IN SEVEN DAYS AND NOT A DAMN THING CHANGED.
