Today, I am grieving…

A true story of Injustice in 21st Century San Francisco …

my loss of innocence, civil liberties, and life savings …

from two False Citizen’s Arrests in my old age 4.12.18 and 2.8.20 …

I was to go to the Symphony the afternoon of 4.12.18 …

Instead I lay on a hard wooden ledge in a filthy prison cell waiting for my husband to ride his bicycle with $20K cash in 200 $100 bills stuffed into his backpack …

riding against rush hour traffic from our bank where we had a modest savings account to the Hall of Justice …

where he posted bail allowing me to return to our home of 39 years …

in San Francisco, Amerika.
