May '96, Bolton Landing, NY
A weekday, around 10 A.M. While working at the Blue Water Manor resort in Diamond Point, NY as a summer maintenance laborer I was asked by the owner, George Long, to take his car down to the Bolton Landing Grand Union and buy as many loaves of white bread as they would allow. The resort kitchen was supposedly in short supply.
Right after I parked in the Grand Union parking lot and was getting out of the car the local State Trooper zoomed in. He suddenly came to a quick stop right behind my car with his 'trooper' car to block it in. He then proceeded to go right to town -
“Who are you and what are you doing here?”
“Where did you get this car?”
“How do I know you're telling the truth?”
“Let me see some ID right now!”
etc. etc. etc. You get the idea.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT - IT WAS ALL, AS IT TURNS OUT, IILEGALLY PRE-ARRANGED AND PUBLICALLY PRE-ANNOUNCED !!!
Some fellow employees at the resort already knew all about it when I got back. I said “you're not going to believe what just happened to me ” and before I could continue the elderly retired Italian fellow from Queens, Gary F., who was also working there said “Ya that was trooper officer so and so. “ And the owner already knew about it as well and concurred. And so did another co-worker from Ticonderoga named Todd (age 19). They all knew what happened without me having to tell them. And they were all just kind of chuckling!
IT WAS ALL, AS IT TURNS OUT, IILEGALLY PRE-PLANNED AND PUBLICALLY PRE-ANNOUNCED !!!
HEY CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEYS -- WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
ACCEPT NO LESS THAN A $100 MILLION OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT .
IT SHOULD TAKE YOU LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES !!!
