Dear Mr. Lockhart,
Thank you for letting me know in writing your intention to forgo representation. Although not unexpected, receiving your letter was.
I read it with amusement, finding the prevarications eerily similar to the email in which George Robert Gary, Sr. ThD and his wife Janet concurred against me. Although both for the most part factually correct, it was the omissions that caught my attention.
Yes, you are correct that I insisted on no out-of-pocket expenses; that I was only interested in representation if taken pro bono. Instead of discussing actual costs of litigation, such as the filing fee required by the court and the service fee the marshal would charge to serve the action upon the defendant(s); you expressed only your expectation, if accepting case pro bono, any check(s) Dekalb County wrote reimbursing me for attorney fees be signed over to you.
To which I replied, "not a problem as I was not in this for the money."
You have probably already noticed that I've posted your previous letter on my blog www.twistedpurplecow.blogspot.com. Will do the same with second letter as well as posting this email along with them. I'm learning how the system works the hard way, and using the blog as more of a journal/diary on a public forum.
"Those with a surplus are better able to control their circumstances. Those without are control by them. One is not always in a position to exercise good judgment."
"A truly virtuous man would come to the aid of a distant stranger equally as he would a close friend. Then again, a truly virtuous man would have no friends."
"Experience is nature's cruel way of giving the test first, then the lesson."
It seems my experiences are trying to teach me to stop being so honest as so few people are; more interested in avoiding the truths rather than facing them head on and letting the chips fall where they may.
As I'm certain my feud with the Garys is seen as a huge embarrassment to Emory University and the Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church located on Emory's campus, would not be surprised learning someone representing their interests has contacted you. I do not fully understand their insistence of seeing me as a foe to be avoided at all cost rather than meeting with me to discuss our differences? What dark secret(s) is it I posses that frightens them so much? I'm certain it reduces down to nothing more than pure bias. I'm gay, atheist, as well as recovering crystal meths addict. As crystal meths addiction is an addiction all other addictions look down upon; that being the toughest part getting people to see past.
Anyway, what have I learned from our dialogue exchange:
Surprisingly new perspective on what it means when a lawyer agrees to take a case pro bono. Up until now, always understood it to be a positive reflection of a lawyer's moral character. Now led to believe maybe just another example where, "doing the right thing for the wrong reason(s) having no moral worth." Suppose I should not conclude with that opinion until seeing the size of that check.
Also reminded of something I've almost forgotten; but known since high school. Yes! You are correct! Federal laws do supersede any state laws and local ordinances where they conflict. Thank you for reminding me of that! Will be sure to take readings from Supreme Court's 8-1 ruling regarding Rev. Phelps' Freedom of Speech Rights with me November 27th.
Sincerely yours,
James Edward Avery, DVM

Subject: NEED HELP GETTING... ALL.... THE FACTS
Dear Mr. Spears,
My name is James Edward Avery, DVM. Forty-nine y.o. homosexual male living alone with two cats at 1840 Mason Mill Road, Decatur, GA. Lived at this address since 1995.....for the most part....peacefully; respectable distance kept between me and surviving family in Arkansas.
First came to Atlanta 1993 as a full time veterinarian at PETS ARE PEOPLE TOO's midtown location, after unsuccessfully trying Miami first for 1 year, then Jacksonville, FL for 4 years.
So hopefully you can understand why I got so angry with two young cops when one implied I should move.....things having deteriorated between me and my neighbors; as well as with my family in Arkansas.....a mother who still refuses to let her son be gay.
The facts:
The facts:
- I do have a crystal meths addition.
- Been doing crystal meths every day since 1999.
- Everyone knows....having decided it had to be me doing my own intervention as no one else would. Told everyone in my life at the same time just before Thanksgiving 2010.
- Although atheist, decided to take a leap of faith.....IF THE RUTH WILL SET YOU FREE....then nothing wrong with me taking everyone down with me.
- Instead of a network friends, family, work associates helping me deal with my addiction; even more isolated then before as everyone believes the meths addiction is the problem needing fixed first without accepting the fact that they didn't even know I had one until I told them first.
- Still have DVM license; no felony record preventing me from renewing my DEA license.
- Still get calls to do relief veterinary work every once in a while from people haven't done relief work before; but decline them as still very alone and depressed....the craving for meths always present as it does work for me in a way that no one else could tell.....it's still a drug illegal or not.
- etc., etc., etc.
So he switched me over to voluntary and told me I could check myself out.
I need a lawyer to go back to the crisis center and the Georgia Regional Hospital at Panthersville with me and get the medical records as well as all 911 calls leading up to that day. I tried once and trust me....although a veterinarian.....I'm still a doctor.....and the records they needed me to sign for before releasing them were...INCOMPLETE.....by medical standards. Even the elevated temperature upon admittance from having been left alone in back of police car sweating profusely as the air was not circulating around the Plexiglas divider....even before he turn the air conditioner off as he got out of the police car.
I REFUSED TO SIGN FOR THEM!
Believe I have a case to sue for big bucks; but not what I want to do.
Will if what it takes to get everyone on the same PAGE!
Sincerely,
Simply Jim

First of May, found a Court Summon dated April 28th I just happened to notice and pick up believing just trash blown in by one of the storms; most likely the same storm a neighbor's tree crashed the ceiling onto my bed. Good thing I found it : no mirror above my bed as well!
I.....am HEREBY COMMANDED, to be and appear at the Recorder's Court of DeKalb County at 3630 Camp Circle, Public Safety Bldg. at 7:00 a.m. on the 31st day of May, 2011 to answer to the charge of
"SIGN EXCEEDING SIX (6) Sg Ft In Residential zone PROHIBITED"
As well as a CODE ENFORCEMENT WARNING NOTICE
18-9(b) Open Storage Trash Debris
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED TO DO THE FOLLOWING TO CORRECT THE VIOLATION CHECKED ABOUT BEFORE THE 5th DATE of May, 2011.
Since not working at the moment (would like the opportunity to share that story...ALL OF IT... to the dismay of EVERYONE I KNOW being that it is impossible to be ...."THE FAIREST ONE OF THEM ALL"....without displeasing them all....if being what it takes .... "FAIR TO THEM ALL" .....how can I truly tell my story without telling their story ) and needed the exercise anyway, decided might as well dispose of the tree myself; owning 2 chainsaws and a huge wooded back yard with other tree already composting. Imagine my surprise, State Farm, actually volunteering to pay the first $500 I clearly understood they were not going to pay having the tree taken off my house AND layed ONLY beside the house.......not realizing they WOULD pay ME....."that only up to $500.00"....having it hauled off! But have so much anger/frustration needing venting first before even capable dealing with my meth addiction/depression; the meth everyone insisting I seek professional help for first; me knowing full well they believe it will spare me telling their story.
I know I can stop doing it. In fact I have!
Funny thing is......I had to do my own intervention.........realizing after many years......I am truly a very lonely man. If not me; then who? Came to the conclusion, "IF IT"S TRUE THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE; THEN NOTHING WRONG WITH REFUSING TO JUMP FOR IT ALONE! Professional help.???...sure! But want every second of every session videotaped and accessible by web.
Anyway, signs says:

Believe me, Emory Campus knows it's there. I've called once. Showed up at the Office of the President twice.
Being totally ignored as if believing me a crazy man with nothing of value to offer them in return for their help.
Well....
I'm James Edward Avery, DVM 49 year old single hearing impaired homosexual no longer practicing positive atheism as the pendulum is now swinging the opposite direction.
YOU GET THE GOD YOU HAVE: NOT THE GOD YOU CHOOSE!
IF wanting to believe there is a GOD, they need to realize........their GOD is my GOD too. No orphan here.

Would like to tell my story in the paper, hopefully the May 31st issue; the court, Emory, neighbors, even my family, not aware.
It's a very complicated story..having reached my tipping point....extremely emotional....even combative/confrontation...and this isn't the SUPREME COURT.
Believe my story already in print compared to a followup story covering court appearance........has a potential of showing just how unjust AMERICA's EXCEPTIONALISM can be.
