My name is Helene Wilson. I'm happily married to a lovely and caring husband with two kids. A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my husband .so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce.he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore.So he packed out of the house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much begging,but all to no avail.and he confirmed it that he has made his decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only way i can get my husband back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for him too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the email address of the spell caster whom he visited.{Templeofloveandprosperity@gmail.com}. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next day.What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past 9 months,gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back.So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster. So, If you have any problem contact him, I give you 100% guarantee that he will help you, Thanks to Dr Frank Ojo for bringing back my husband ,and brought great joy to my family once again, SO HERE HIS EMAIL ADDRESS { Templeofloveandprosperity@gmail.com } WEBSITE ADDRESS : http://lovespell2.yolasite.com, Thanks you Dr Frank Ojo, i Helene will always be testifying about your good work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520721082951317579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-49163078315804498272015-11-23T14:27:15.076-05:002015-11-23T14:27:15.076-05:00"... she sounds like she has a real sense of ..."... she sounds like she has a real sense of entitlement, a "this shouldn't have happened to me, don't you know who I am?" kind of attitude."<br /><br />She'll have you know she did go to Dartmouth and Duke after all.

She had to prove who she was while cops checked out her place to make sure no actual burglar was hiding or coercing her into making her statement. <br /><br />You clearly assume that only white people "take the side of the cops". There are plenty of white people who dislike cops too. I find it racist to assume that when someone disagrees with your view of cops, they are automatically white.<br /><br />What bad thing happened to her? The cops made sure her apartment was not being occupied by some burglar forcing her to lie about what happened, then they left. Then she went over and insulted her neighbor, provoking a rude reply. That hurt her feelings. Poor baby.<br /><br />She comes across as someone so eager to be a victim of racism that she sees it even in situations where race was not an issue. <br /><br />If people don't want the police to investigate burglary calls, the Santa Monica city council needs to give direction to the Chief of Police so that limits are set on what crimes should and should not be enforced. <br /><br />No one can teach this woman some common sense, apparently. Being a woman of color, it seems to never have occurred to her that breaking into her apartment after dark, with a soccer friend in dark clothing, using lock picking equipment might appear a tad suspicious, something the neighbors might be concerned about. She is a moron to complain when people apply the more likely explanation to the situation. <br /><br />She owes her attorney neighbor a cup of coffee and an apology, for sure. Otherwise, when someone actually tries to break into her place, he'll sit and watch instead of alerting the police. If she ever gets robbed like that, her attitude will change in a hurry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-43500505778904873752015-11-22T13:08:47.911-05:002015-11-22T13:08:47.911-05:00It is amazingly easy for for a white person to tak...It is amazingly easy for for a white person to take the side of the cops and refuse to believe the person of color and pretend that "nothing bad happened to her."<br /><br />Not only that, she was in the "wrong" for not being grateful to the armed men who forced her out of her home at gunpoint, and even for failing to offer them a cup of coffee.<br /><br />Good grief!irishguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214796640416172528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-7482197125478862182015-11-22T12:50:06.949-05:002015-11-22T12:50:06.949-05:00At this point, we'll admit it.

She seems to think white people are never suspected of crimes, never have to encounter police in the way she did. That just isn't true. <br /><br />I think she was not wrong to feel frightened but she expressed her fear as anger and her response was disproportionate to what happened. She appears entirely unable to consider the event from any perspective but her own, which is an immature, narcissistic response more typical of a teenager than an adult. <br /><br />A bunch of cops arrived promptly to protect her stuff and they didn't take her word for it when she claimed to live there, given that she fit the description the neighbor gave about who was breaking in. Later, she seemed to expect some kind of full explanation and apology but the cops told her they were just doing their jobs and that apparently wasn't enough for her. <br /><br />Entitled. She wanted accountability for scaring her when the rest of us would have thanked the officers and offered a cup of coffee and told them we were glad someone would arrive so quickly when we might have been in trouble. She blamed them and kept insisting someone tell her what was going on and why they were continuing to check out the scene after she told them it was her place -- as if her explanation weren't what any actual burglar would say to cops catching them in the act. Then she writes an editorial about it -- getting even for the affront to her ego. A movie star being told to turn off an electronic device on a plane couldn't have been more spiteful. This isn't about social justice -- it is about growing up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-39931616909896518692015-11-22T10:44:01.951-05:002015-11-22T10:44:01.951-05:00"After this essay ran online, Police Chief Ja..."After this essay ran online, Police Chief Jacqueline A.

Anyone would have been treated the same way.<br /><br />She was nasty herself in the way she attacked her neighbor for phoning the police when he saw several people breaking into her apartment. When he responded rudely, she chalked that up as yet another racial incident.<br /><br />When people with legitimate grievances gin up fake ones using stories like this, it weakens their cause.
