Peer Justice Damage Assessment
Five officers went down today, one was severely injured. It happened during a demonstration enacted by students this morning in an obscure office somewhere. The purpose for this demonstration was to relinquish issues held accountable by one important person and try to salvage their position. There are still questions being raised to authorities and witnesses of the incident (as for whether the questions had any relevance, that is yet to be determined).
After much deliberation by myself and a handful of selected people whom are appropriate for this deliberation, it proved to be not in vain but clearly not befitting. After much pleading, advisement, presentation, warning and negligence it came down to this morning. "Resign" I would say to keep this demonstration from happening. "No, I can't" was the answer I received, shortly followed by an explanation. I felt it in my heart though. I really wanted to help him go out in style and not in flames. (However one may argue that going out in flames is comparable to going out in style.)
I am a member of a dying breed. I am a member of a group of people whom want nothing more than to see the success of others. I can undoubtedly say that my success can only be measured by the success of others. I am part of a team. I listen to what my team has to say and only then can I make rational decisions utilizing good motive. In turn my team listens to what I have to say and compromise on good terms. I am a representative of a subsidiary government granted as a privilege by the administration and elected only by my peer. I was not appointed to any position and the only ones I thank for that are those whom elected me. Therefore as I was elected I try my hardest to appeal only to those who I represent and not those whom did not.
I represent the Student Senate whom in turn represents those constituencies they run for. I am not going to bullshit you, not everyone is represented. I always say time and time again "I was put in this deep hole by the previous administration." For the record I instead say: "Whatever was enacted by the previous administration has been handed down to me so I cannot take full responsibility." (Something to the extent of that.)
What happened? An important political figure was staging a protest demonstration to keep their position.
Fact: He argues compliance. Fact: According to the student handbook in black and white, technically he was in compliance. Fact: He was not properly tried for his charge. Fact: He is a repeat offender, expunged record or not. Fact: The demonstration did not serve its goal. Fact: An entire coalition of members was in attendance for this demonstration.
(The following statements are not only my opinion, but the opinion of others)
Fact: A lot of those members should not have spoken a word. Fact: All officers should have kept their mouths shut except the officer in question. Fact: The demonstration divided the very organization the officer in question was representing. Fact: The demonstration has now violated relations with the key organization and the administration whom we hold a liaison with. Fact: The argument went in circles.
Fact: Absolutely LITTLE or NO diplomatic negotiations were held in the officer in question's defense.
Therefore, fact: The entire coalition tore his entire case a new asshole to shit out of.
What was my plan? My intentions were to assist this fellow team member in their time of need. Not only am I revising the foundation of ideas for which all this came about (which everyone should thank the previous administration whether it was intentional or not), but I was in the process of forming a student hearing board, formulating some sort of writ of elections; I was milking every available cow of a resource I could find and desperately searching for a loophole in the all the fine print of that 'Communist Manifesto' called a student handbook. The demonstration had to happen however, not only as a positive solution to going out with a bang, but to make a political statement.
My conclusion to the whole thing is simple. I was against it from the very beginning. I was willing to defend a just cause of misappropriations for judicial protocol. It turned into a circus. The whole time the wrong argument was presented, 'complicity'. The real argument that should have been pressed was following proper procedure. The chief judicial affairs officer hung himself on that argument. I think when the argument of a 'proper hearing' was inferred, I am pretty sure everyone made a sigh of relief and finally realized what they were all doing there. I am pretty sure they all realized what they needed to say and not go off on tangents of 'favoritism' (god I fucking hate that juvenile word) and tangents of personal gain and self-maximization.
The chief judicial affairs officer said it was an exercise of megalomania and pompous action. I agree.
The officer in question is determined that all the powers that be are doing is they are preaching professionalism through selective disciplinary action, informal conduct, and organization with a faulty invalid paper trail. I agree.
In summation, I would like to end this entry with why I was writing it to begin with. I was informed that it would be a good idea. I enjoy writing, as seen with my situation with the 'triangle of evil' (which I think is in my archives). Most of all because this now marks a profound moment in my life that I wish to forget. It was the day a coalition of people protested for the wrong cause, and further argued the wrong cause. It was the day justice was not won because it was misrepresented. It was a parade of idiots that literally miseducated and made themselves stupider. God help all of them if they ever want to go to law school. I looked at him I said "I should have represented you, or Chevon, not anyone else." He nodded his head.
The next course of action? I do my job. I try to resurrect the organization. I try to prove to everyone at that organization that now that we lost a dear member we are still worth a damn. I try to beat the unstoppable chain reaction of gossip, rumors and wonderful hearsay bullshit that makes up a lot of students in Saint Thomas (and I don't blame them). It's not one for all, it is all for one. Even if one member leaves we still remain strong. Our numbers are growing (minus 1: we are 14 now) and all we wish to see is progress and not today's example of digression.
Being the ultimately neutral person that I am, I can only smile. I left tonight's informal 'hearing' giving the rest of the board smiles upon their faces as well. No hard feelings. I let him know, 'you put us in a hole of shit' and added 'now I have to wipe your ass'. He smiled as I had, and my last words to him were..
..with the utmost sincerity..
"It was a pleasure to have worked with you Mr. Mark Bobb.."
