If you’re not familiar with the story of Matt Perna, you need to be. His experience until he took his own life is a reflection of the gross destruction caused by the weaponisation of our government agencies, institutions and law.
Matt was a good young man not dissimilar to me in his love of visiting new cultures. He taught English abroad and had never committed a crime. He voluntarily turned himself into the FBI as he didn’t believe he had done anything severe, and truth be told he didn’t. At all.
YET, the FBI treated him as if he was a member of Al-Qaeda, burning his public reputation for over a year before he finally pled to his charges. At the 11th hour, AFTER his guilty plea, the prosecution attempted to add 20 YEARS worth of additional charges and accessories to his sentence. His sentencing was delayed over a dozen times after that, further assaulting his mental health. Coupled with tragedies in his personal life, this was too much and he took his own life.
@realDonaldTrump has the means, the support, the finances and the connections to fight weaponised government but regular people like Matt NEVER had that kind of backing. We depended on a support structure which turned on many of us. We depended on others who shunned us and let us down.
Matt was not the only one to take their lives due to January 6th persecution. In truth, we’re fortunate it isnt more.
THAT is why “patience” doesn’t work for me, @FBIDDBongino, @FBIDirectorKash and @AGPamBondi. We DEMAND results NOW, not tomorrow. They are past due as of yesterday, and as victims of the maleficence of the departments and agencies you now represent we are the warning shot that you NEED to step it up immediately.
We, The People hold this truth to be self evident; that all men are created equal. We hold that to mean there WILL be equality under the law and accountability for the injustice we suffered. WE, The People are watching and YOU will bear the responsibility if nothing changes. We won’t allow it to remain the same.
Hurry up.

My tolerance level is non-existent. I watched my sister-in-law die at the hands of doctors. Matt died at the hands of our government. My brother Larry died broken and deteriorated from grief and neglect by people who were paid to keep him safe. So, I don't know if the saying " With age comes wisdom" pertains to me, but experiences harden us, and with that hardness comes intolerance. Aging doesn't produce wisdom...experiences do, and unfortunately, many of us have had our fair share of "experiences. " Larry used to say, "I'm glad I am on the downward slope of my life". I sometimes think that my downhill slope isn't steep enough.
