DON HAMRICK ABANDONS HIS CASES DUE TO FAILED STRATEGY AND POVERTY


I have been chasing the Holy Grail of Second Amendment rights through the federal courts on my own and without an attorney for 3 years now. I don't know if expanding my fight into civil rights in the workplace was a mistake or not. But after three years of fighting idiotic federal judges the wear and tear on my emotional state is taking its toll.

I was in the Coast Guard for 7 years. I was in the merchant marine for 16 years. That is 23 years in the maritime industry. I have seen countless social injustices in my time. I thought I could succeed in making a dent for the restoration of Second Amendment rights. After three years of fighting judicial arrogance as an unrepresented plaintiff I have come to realize the futility of this.

I read a law review on the differences in how court clerks treat attorneys for clients and how they treat unrepresented plaintiffs. If an attorney and an unrepresented plaintiff ask the same question of a court clerk the attorney gets answers without hesitation. But the unrepresented plaintiff gets the brush off with "can't dispense legal advice."

I went to the DC Clerk's office (Judicial Council) to ask questions about their filing fee vs. 28 U.S.C. 1916. A staff member gave me that standard "can't dispense legal advice" while backing up away from me as he was talking as though I was a disease carrier. It was a most insulting display of bigotry against the unrepresented that I have ever witnessed. I just turned and walked out of the office.

I have reached the point where logic and the rule of law ends and emotion takes over. If I continue pushing my cases against this brick wall I will lose my composure and wind up in prison. It is best for me to abandon this pursuit and pick up something new.

I am abandoning my cases. I am frustrated that I did not find out whether the common law of citizen's arrest extends to federal judges.

I have acquired enough "misery" fighting the federal judges that I may consider writing political poetry. But even in this endeavor there are dangers. I submitted one of my poems to the League of American Poets only to find out that they are scammers:

It is enough to force one into insanity. I am cutting my losses and going on to something different.
