The Place Where Ludington Talks
Today I Witnessed a Rape...
I was out riding my bicycle on this nice October day by the residence of a lady I know. She is beautiful, yet simple; she is the ward of a guardian, whose decisions are made for her. She was adopted long ago with strict rules given by the parents as to how she was to be taken care of. Recently, her guardianship has changed and the rules were mostly forgotten.
I noticed a truck that belonged to a friend of the new guardian. Concealed by some nearby foliage, I seen him taking advantage of her. Before I could do anything, I saw two more of the guardian's friends drive their vehicles up to her place, and they got out and joined in the assault. I wanted to call 911, but knew the guardian was a co-worker and a very good friend of the local police chief, who would allow this to continue. I sneaked off, disgusted, and went home to get my camera, so as to chronicle the nasty development to help her in the future.
When I got back, the vehicles had left and this poor lady was hurting. She had multiple cuts all over her body, and they had even spray painted her all over. It looked painful and I took pictures of the hurt they had inflicted on her. Before I could even think of doing more, they came back and brought some more friends with them. The anguish I felt with not being to help this lady was great, but I went away while they came back at her. Once again they assaulted her, cutting her up, damaging her beyond immediate repair. I took more pictures of the carnage, but they paid little attention to me-- they knew I couldn't help her out, and they had weapons.
They continued this for the rest of the afternoon, cleaned up a little bit afterwards, and left. I consoled her afterwards, but knew there was little I could do to help her before they would come back again and do worse to her. Tomorrow the raping will continue.

Great idea X, let Dave be on the poop cleanup crew, he hates those shoes anyhow, and being they are size 14 or 15, he'd cover a lot more territory than others with smaller shoes. If he gets too much poop on them, I could always cover for him sometimes with my size 13's, just gotta figure out which shoes I hate most first, har.

Hmmm, funny thing at LT, Scott mentioned a burial of a canine across the street of the new Bark Park at Cartiers. He's right, the Chihuahua dog was named Zorro, my bud. There is a marker and picture of the dog there too. Sorry for their loss of the dog, being a fellow dog lover forever, but, where does anyone get the notion that they can bury their pal in the park w/o special authority and permission? Or do they have that special access? Beats me, how bout you?

There's probably some law or ordinance that forbids pet burial on public property, but who's gonna report it? But if I were the owner, I would rather have my little buddy in my back yard.

Dittos to that Mary, that's where mine are, on my own property. I asked myself that same question several times and could only come up with this person must be a renter, or homeless type person, but Zorro is still there now, wonder if the DPW knows, and what, if anything, they might do?

I looked through the State and Local Laws and found only the following in the City Code which might apply:
Sec. 34-99. Dogs creating disturbances
(c) Container. No person owning, keeping or in charge of a dog shall permit the dog to be on any public property, public sidewalk, public right-of-way, or upon any other type of public property whatsoever, or upon any private property without permission of the owner of such property unless the dog is accompanied by a person who has in the person's possession a container or bag of sufficient size to collect and remove the feces of the dog. The person accompanying the dog shall show the container to any city police officer or authorized city personnel if requested.
(d) Leash. No person shall permit any dog to be in any public street, alley, on any premises open to the public, or upon any private premises other than the premises of the owner or with the consent of the owner of such private premises, unless such dog is on a leash.
(e) Violation. A violation of this section shall constitute a municipal infraction.
So, a literal interpretation of these rules means that if Zorro was buried with his leash on, and if Scott either got the permission of the owner of that plot to be there or Scott always stays in the area with Zorro, there is no problem ; )
Notice also that unless section (d) gets modified before the dog park opens, anyone who allows a dog to run off the leash inside the dog park can be charged with a municipal civil infraction. After all, we have been told by the DPC that this area is still open to the public.

Maybe Jen can straighten this out for us. Any contact with Joe yet, X?

JEN QUIT and I do not blame her. You people allowed her real name to be exposed.
Why did you delete a link to a public record that did not expose anybody's identity that is already available in the member list?
The double standard you people allow yourselves will cause most honest people to leave you. -

x explained that he was not going to contact joe directly. the public can make up their own mind about x's refusal to accept joes invitation to contact him and discuss the issue. edie lindsey you should be able to figure out that section d does not apply if the area specifically allows non leashed dogs. the current dog park at the end of ludington avenue is an example where the leash law does not apply. you people twist the rules to your own limited knowledge of law.

Public... unless the zone was changed by charter there is no such place as a unleached dog zone except private property. I see no where in the public record ( pun intended where a request was even made to zone the area leash not required. As this would have required more insurance which I am sure the city of Ludington or PM township didnt buy.
Even if you may have been former law enforcment ( and I still doubt they claim you) you are a piss poor lawyer. Id stick to your own corner of the world where your more than welcome to bloviat all you like.

Guido is 100% correct and PR is correct the remaining percentage.
I have been told by Jen twice that Joe Moloney wants to talk with me on the phone. If he wants to tell me how I am in the wrong and he, as a public servant who represented a private organization and drew up a contract with the public body he serves, is in the right, he can contact me in a manner that documents his position. With a phone conversation, he or I can make some claims as to what the other said or didn't say. The DPC has my E-mail, his employer has my mailing address, we have this forum-- contact away Joe, I am willing to listen and reply, publicly or privately if you wish.
I have already contacted the City Manager about these problems, but like some of my recent FOIA requests, they have not been answered; and as I believe the CM and the City Council are almost as culpable in Joe in this affair, I expect replies will only come by legal coercion.
