TEACH MY GRANDSON: THEY ARE NOT VULNERABLE; THEY ARE IGNORED
Grandson. who were they. They were doctors, lawyers, teachers and custodians. They were fathers. mothers, sisters and brothers. They were the man who laughed too loud. They were the woman who had too many cats. They were the ones that got on your last nerve. They were the ones that wore milk mustaches from stealing the milk cartoons from the refrigerator. They were the ones who were always "cold" when everyone else suffered from a "heat wave". They were the short ones. They were the tall ones. They were the ones who always worked. They were the ones who always played. They were the loud ones. They were the soft ones. They were the innocent. They were the guilty. They were you and you will be they. Not vulnerable but ignored. We are the ignored.
Ignore (v.) is 1610s, "not to know, to be ignorant of," from French ignorer "be unaware of" (14c.), or directly from Latin ignorare "not to know, be unacquainted; take no notice of, disregard" (see ignorant). The original sense in English is obsolete. Sense of "pass over without notice, pay no attention to" in English first recorded 1801 (Barnhart says "probably a dictionary word"), and OED indicates it was uncommon before c. 1850. Related: Ignored; ignoring. They like to call us "vulnerable". Code of the District of Columbia § 22–932 Definitions says a ""Vulnerable adult" means a person who is 18 years of age or older and has one or more physical or mental limitations that substantially impair the person's ability to independently provide for his or her daily needs or safeguard his or her person, property, or legal interests." Vulnerable (adj.) is "capable of being wounded," c. 1600, from Late Latin vulnerabilis "wounding," from Latin vulnerare "to wound, hurt, injure, maim," from vulnus (genitive vulneris) "wound," perhaps related to vellere "pluck, to tear" (see svelte), or from PIE *wele-nes-, from *wele- (2) "to strike, wound" (see Valhalla). DC Law Library says we can suffer from "undue influence". "Undue influence" means mental, emotional, or physical coercion that overcomes the free will or judgment of a vulnerable adult or elderly person and causes the vulnerable adult or elderly person to act in a manner that is inconsistent with the vulnerable adult or elderly person's financial, emotional, mental, or physical well-being. Eventually. you become acquainted with the fact that you will be "passed over without notice, paid no attention to".
This is where a mindless interpretation of the Work of God is perverssive flourishing in the Earth. This is where people stand boldly and declare, "God will eventually judge the seen and unseen. Thus, we can rest and rely only in divine jurisprudence for it will be a perfect and complete work". While the Bible emphasizes that God is the ultimate Judge and source of perfect justice (James 4:12), the perspective that "man has no role" in doing justice is not supported by scripture. Instead, the biblical view is that humans are called to be active participants in enacting justice, acting as God's representatives on earth, while trusting Him for the final outcome. Yet, still they declare you are a pagan or fool, if you don't fall in line with their misinterpretaion of Scripture, "You don't know my God! You have little faith! You are talking about vengeance not justice. The Bible says, 'Vengeance is the Lord's'" The Bible says, "Jesus wept" but are you using it in the right context. Relying on God for justice means trusting Him as the ultimate, perfect judge who will right wrongs, offering comfort to the oppressed while also calling His followers to act justly in their own lives by loving mercy and walking humbly, as seen in Micah 6:8 and Deuteronomy 32:4. It involves surrendering personal vengeance (Romans 12:19) to God, who is impartial and cares deeply for the vulnerable, knowing His justice is established and trustworthy, and we are called to join His work by living righteously.

In "Vengeance". Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks writes, "One of the most tragic moments in Western civilisation came when Christians began distinguishing between what they called “the Old Testament God of vengeance” as opposed to the “New Testament God of love.” This is not a small error. One trembles to think how many Jews lost their lives because of it. It survives today, even among good and sensitive people. There is hardly a week when I do not see some reference to it in the national press. It is one of those taken-for-granted assumptions that lie buried so deep within a culture that rarely if ever are they examined in the clear light of day.
Patient abuse is a crime in the District of Columbia. DC law specifically criminalizes the abuse and neglect of vulnerable adults and elderly persons, with penalties escalating based on the severity of the injury. Criminal Abuse of a Vulnerable Adult (D.C. Code § 22-933): It is a crime for any person to knowingly or purposefully inflict physical pain or injury, harass, or unreasonably confine a vulnerable adult (defined as an individual 18+ with a physical or mental condition that prevents them from providing for their own care).
The DC MPD handles complaints through its Internal Affairs Division (IAD) and the independent Office of Police Complaints (OPC); the process involves investigation, interviews, and findings like Sustained, Unfounded, or Exonerated, with complainants notified of the outcome, though discipline details can evolve, and OPC oversees fairness, potentially referring to a hearing examiner for serious misconduct and then to the Chief for action, with complainant input considered. The OPC is responsible for receiving, investigating, adjudicating, and mediating complaints related to police misconduct. They aim to foster community trust and enhance the interaction between the police and the community.
You can file a complaint with MPD's IAD (in-person, mail, email to citizen.complaints@dc.gov) or with the OPC policecomplaints.dc.gov/service/file-a-complaint.
Lieutenant Ayodeji followed up with me next day. I asked if DC MPD would take the nurse and two technicians off the street and out of the medical/science industry. He advised that DC MPD would not investigste the matter. It would be up to your lawyer. Next time it happens, call 911. Imagine my ire! The nurse and two technicians got away with murder. DC MPD would not investigate because it happened so long ago. My wife, and now caregiver, took away her cell phone. She was comfortable knowing DCMPD would not investigate the matter. Just let it go now.
Let you in on a little joke. I received this e-mail from an organization that wants to help raise $11,00 to help cure my chronic stroke through stem cell therapy:
Hi Ken - we're a medical fundraising nonprofit, so if it's of interest to you, we could talk to you about starting a medical fundraising campaign for this purpose.
Do you have some people in your life (friends, family, connections) who may be willing to help out with a fundraising campaign?

That's funny! That's rich!
Ignored.
No pullimg of employment records for that night. Leave police work for a lawyer?
The perception of whether lawyers are lazy can vary greatly depending on individual experiences and viewpoints. Here are some key considerations:
High Workload: Most lawyers face demanding workloads, often working long hours and dealing with high-stress situations. This can lead to burnout rather than laziness.
Specialization: Some areas of law require extensive research and preparation, making short bursts of productivity seem less frequent compared to more intensive legal work.
Inefficiency vs. Laziness: Sometimes, what may be perceived as laziness is more akin to inefficiency or a lack of resources to perform tasks effectively.
Public Misunderstanding: The legal profession is often misunderstood by those outside of it. Tasks like meticulous research or prolonged negotiations may appear leisurely but are critical for successful outcomes.
Variation: Individual lawyers differ widely in work ethic. While some may indeed lack motivation, many are driven and work tirelessly for their clients.
Career Choices: Factors like job satisfaction, specialization, and personal circumstances can influence a lawyer’s perceived laziness.
In summary, while some individuals in the legal profession might not demonstrate a strong work ethic, many lawyers are dedicated professionals who work hard to advocate for their clients.
Ignored. You are not vulnerable just ignored.
I must swallow my reason, grandson, and silently demur.
Nothing to see hear.
"Being ignored is a great privilege"
Grandson, avenge, don't revenge.
You will be ignored.
