I preface these remarks with the fact I believe in many public imminent demands if there is a Fair Market Value (FMV) for the property, and the demand is good for the community, especially the taxpayers. There are cases that I do not agree with the private sector imminent domain that seems to side with small businessperson regarding who may or may not be served by the small business.
I have been denied service by the following LaGrange, Georgia businesses:
- International House of Pancakes
- Lafayette Arms Motel
- Gus’ Grill
- Walmart Super-center
- Krystal
- Planet Fitness
- Town Fitness
- Dixie Donuts
The reason for these expulsions revolves around my mental illness. Sometimes in the past I have gone off my medication and thus tended to spiral into an abnormal manic and obnoxious state. The local, state, and federal governments have not given me equal protection under the applicable anti-discrimination legislation. The governments’ way of dealing with me is locking me away in isolation with forced medication. The Georgia Gulag Archipelago (my term for the now mainly forensic state hospitals) are very terrifying and dangerous environments. The local county jails in Georgia seem to be largely discriminatory against the mentally ill. I have recently been locked away first in the Troup County Jail for 30 days then Pathways defunct Second Season for 127 days and then back to jail for 40 days all in the calendar year of 2019. I was released to pay a hefty fine and serve a long probationary period.
What hurts even more is the fact that the church I faithfully volunteered at for over two years can find no more voluntary work for me to perform. I have become a Persona Non Grata at the First United Methodist Church of LaGrange, Georgia.
