Questions presented

I sincerely hope that you have never personally experienced the sheer terror of standing alone in a hotel room while a stranger attempts to break-in - especially when that stranger is well aware that you are alone, hiding inside. But I genuinely believe that each one of you can understand the extreme terror which I experienced during my stay at the Quality Inn & Suites in Lexington, MA. Further, I hone that neither you nor you loved ones will ever experience the utter desperation which I felt - upon discovering that the local police had no intention of taking even the most basic steps to protect me from being further victimized by these thugs - who used their “official” status to assure that the hotel's Desk Supervisor would not be forced to turn away a member of a newly-enlarged tour groupbecause they felt it's wasn’t fair for me to stay when they needed the room for new guests coming in! Surely though, I think that you will agree that I must be allowed to recover at least for the economic losses that I suffered that night... even if it means that a couple of “dirty cops” would be “called out” for their decisions to assist in the crimes being committed at the hotel that day! ___ a. QUESTIONS PRESENTED_________

  1. Was Coulter denied Due Process because of Bias?

  2. Is Pervasive Bias responsible for the denial of Due Process to Coulter and others?

  3. Is the new Massachusetts Police Accountability (POST) Commission destined to fail - unless the commission assures that the majority of its members are from outside of the “Justice System”?
