    Blue jays and Robins are both birds but not peers. The predator / empath dynamic might be great for shielding all the clinicians from the dangerous work this guy is promoting but it’s very dangerous for those of us predatorized by criminals made into criminals because psychiatric drugging is a gateway to street drugs or are worse than street drugs. This guys name is Hendry not Henry and Patrick Henry was a patriot who said “ Give me liberty or give me death “ This guy might have good intent but he’s dangerous. I am not and never was the peer of dangerous criminals but when I worked under this guys lady friend, the executive director of the corrupt place that made me do this work, his lady friend set my life on a trajectory of hell making me out to be a perpetrator not a victim because she and this guy were having an affair far guiltier than I of what they accused me of to hide their own misconduct. This guy is really ignorant. He and his lady friend are dangerous and empaths should not ever be called the “ peer “ of predators. This doesn’t save lives. It destroys lives.

    Mr Perry, you jailed me for 5 months over a harrassment charge. I have proof beyond proof that I did not commit the harrassment. The woman who filed it I can prove with call log that she actually harassed me, but you would not let me show the call log in court, and then jailed me. How frustrating you would not let me prove my innocence. This woman who is a Counselor in Springfield has been using the court system in Montgomery, and Robertson county since 2008, and has sat in court lying numerous times. I would of expected you to do what is right by now, the law even says exactly what to do, I'm beyond confused why you, snd the DA(Nash) have handled this case so bizarre. My call log shows beyond doubt she committed perjury. How on Earth do I have a guilty on my record when I can prove to anyone who will listen by showing call logs that show my innocence. Don't you think it's time to do what's right?

    • @dS80615
      @dS80615 Місяць тому

      I'm seriously hoping you finally make this right. I've tried and tried to reach you, but your office said you tell them under no circumstances will you take a call. Not trying to be a nuisance, but I'm sure you can understand the frustration when I can prove you ruled for the Criminal here. I'm not asking for special treatment, but rather just for you to do what the law says, and what you claim your about.

    Thank you for this informative video! I have a few questions... I love that the local communities are able to say specifically what they see is needed! Can you give a few examples of what was requested? Not an exhaustive list, just examples like were given for what was NOT requested. Is there a program like Deaths Avoided With Naloxone (DAWN) which provides rescue kits in the event of an overdose including instructions and materials to the public? Do we (as a TN native) have a 'good samaritan' law in place that provides limited immunity to anyone calling 911 because of an opioid overdose? I'm very much looking forward to see how this money is utilized in the ongoing effort to fight and prevent the worsening of this horrible situation TN is facing at the moment.

      Unfortunately, he exaggerated and embellished a substantial portion of the material in his book. DeQuincey, Burroughs, Kiedis, Sixx, Burroughs, Jr., Trocchi, etc, etc. I hope that you follow. This kid is spoiled, narcissistic, delusional and sadly, he is attempting to be a halfassed 'Literary Outlaw.' Oh, he is also a rather strange looking cat. I have been addicted to high potency opioid analgesics for most of the past 32 years, including my current treatment with methadone. There is no way I'd bother writing about it, since the same story, rewritten with different characters, different drugs, different hustling/ copping routines has been beat to death!😂 Now, the book may indeed be fascinating to the uninitiated 😉. I respect one's right to read whatever one chooses. As a long term addict, though, there's nothing new in Beautiful Boy's prosaic pile of rubbish, 'Tweak.' Remembet that Billy Burroughs, Jr. wrote 'Speed' in 1970!!

    It was used to transport large animals to medical help and care but was never used on animals on a daily basis. Animals were treated for injuries or medical conditions and released back into the wild animals' habitations the human beings aren't even suppose to use it at all and definitely not on a daily basis big animals don't even use xylazine on daily basis
