Roberts","created":"2005-12-08 00:17:21","modified":"2006-01-02 01:00:41","last_modified":"Mon, 02 Jan 2006 08:00:41","article":"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<html><body><p>Hello everybody: <br><br> I'm publicly posting the following email I received in my inbox today to let everybody who reads this listserv know that I apparently am being stalked by one or more unknown individuals, possibly disgruntled law enforcement agents. It looks like the articles I've been writing about Theresa Dang's case that I've been posting all over the internet have struck a very raw nerve with deep inside the Garden Grove Police Department, Orange County District Attorney's Office, and the folks who run Garden Grove City Hall. Someone in power apparently is very disturbed about what I have done. <br><br> Some of the information that has been written in the email indicates to me the author or somebody else close to \"him\" has been in close proximity to my physical residence. But other claims it contains are patently false. For example, the allegations of me \"getting out of small car in alley dated last saturday at 3:15 with two other hispanic men. Other pictures of you going into and out of apartment\" are untrue. And I'm personally not acquainted with a \"largish male with oversize t shirt\" at my apartment complex, although there are dozens of men who live on my block who could match the description.  <br><br> I am reporting this email to the Anaheim Police Department -- although I'm not saying that they are going to do much of anything about it. Whoever wrote it is very knowledgeable about law since they themselves don't claim to be the ones engaged in the act of stalking itself; they are just hinting that this is going on. Of course, this is the kind of nonsense you get when you have the courage to stand up and be openly critical of the power structure here in Orange County, California. I'm sorry, but I refuse to be intimidated. But if these jerks do something to me, I ask that hundreds of people like yourself across Southern California rise up in my absence and intensify the struggle for civil liberties, human rights, and social justice. <br><br> Sincerely, <br><br> Duane J.

I've been through similar kind of harrassment before when I've criticized people in power. I myself was the subject of a phony criminal investigation before just like Theresa Dang was at one time -- although charges were never filed against me because the police department investigating the case realized the allegations made againt me were politically motivated and weren't true. I've been in her shoes, so I know how it feels. I've also been spied on. None of this is news to me.\r\n\r\n> And in reporting that is so important.
