A Letter To Dr. Mike Adams
Last night, I sent an e-mail to Dr. Mike S. Adams, a really cool guy (read: smart and funny and conservative but open-minded gun-loving fella) whose column I regularly read at townhall.com Oh yeah, he is also a criminology professor at the University of North Carolina. I wish that Gallaudet had someone like him, he would really clean up house!
Gallaudet has so many areas where they could improve, especially in issues such as campus security brutality against the students, often arising because of the security forces' struggle to fluently speak in American Sign Language to the students. And it's at a deaf university! Well, "brutality" may be a tad bit a strong word to use, but, hey, a campus security officer killed a deaf man (Carl Dupree) back in the early '90's, choking him to death because he didn't understand (I am assuming) the officer's verbal and badly sim-signed (speaking and signing at the same time) commands to heed his commands. And at that football field riot last fall, the campus security officers were complicit in the willful embargo of effective two-way communication when the security officers AND the DC police handcuffed Deaf hands behind the back, not in the front! That was the final straw before the students finally overwhelmed the cops and successfully tore down the goal posts. Oh yeah, also, Eric Smith, the Deaf Olympian (wrestling) who was shot to death by the Chicago Police because they couldn't communicate with him. (a friend just IMmed me this link to an article about the murder)
ANYWAY, I guess that was just a mini-vent. This is really something big simmering under the surface, I have never seen anything done to improve the channels of communication between the Deaf and Hearing in times of crisis. History shows that in crises, the Deaf are violently suppressed. Like Santayana would say, we are doomed to see history repeat itself again and again. I just remembered the picture of the army pointing automatic rifles at 2 spread-eagled Deaf Blacks in New Orleans after Katrina, posted on I think Ridor's blog, but that is for later, examples and examples keep on popping up like this.
Back to the point of this blogopost. I sent Dr. Adams an e-mail because he often discusses issues such as freedom of speech, gun rights, morality in the modern world, and so on, from a largely legalocriminal perspective, and metes out the occasional advice in situations such as suppression of free speech on campus. I did think of contacting him regarding Gallaudet's prohibition of the Tower Clock yearbook a few years ago, confiscating copies that students already had in their dorm rooms. But, I never got around to it, and he seems to be a busy guy. But, when it comes to the safety and security of the Deaf population, and when I see a threat, it is important enough for me to spend quite some time typing this lengthening post, suppressing my bodily messages that it wants to shut down because of a failing muscuospinal system (in human terms, my cricked neck is supported by a knotted, aching back). That was just a bit therapeutic!
He often pokes fun at the gay community, exposes their hypocrisy (all groups have some form of hypocrisy or other, even the Deaf). I wonder what the Deaf Gay Militant (formerly terrorist) Ridor would say to that! ;-)
In the name of the public knowledge of the greater good, I thought I would post the letter below. I don't usually publicize my e-mail correspondence!
Hi Mike,
My name is Jason Lamberton, I hope you heard about the cop car-surfing incident somewhere on the blogosphere last week. I was the one who snapped the pictures of the cop surfing on the hood of a police cruiser, laughing as he ran a stop sign. It was not my intention to bring down the DC police department, and seemingly, this is mushrooming into a big thing. 6 cops got suspended for a month without pay, 2 lost rank. I really did not want the attention I got, like the news crew hovering outside my house for 5 hours before I finally let them interview me. I always thought I'd become famous for discovering some new type of energy, not this.
The reason I am contacting you is because I received a very racist, badly-veiled threat from a person saying stuff, details that seems to point to one of the cops directly involved. It is quite obvious, the person who wrote the comment on the dcist.com posting about the incident used words that indicates that he was there. I copied/pasted what he said below, in case you don't have much time to go to my blog at www.jasonlamberton.com/blog.htm and read what I said in response, in addition to the pictures that I snapped and how it all unfolded in some of my recent posts.
The Officer on the hood had just injured his leg and could not walk on it. He had just chased a suspect 5 minuted [sic] earlier. Things are not always how they look. Also, clearly you can see the lights are not flashing, and the vehicle was traveling very slow. I hope somneone [sic] robs you, breaks into your house, and steals your computer, you need another hobby. I hope then when your [sic] crying in the corner calling 911 because you need the cops that they don't show, that will give you a complaint. I am positive you are one of these "people" that moved into DC from the burbs and paid way to much money for you house that your realtor told you was in a good neighhborhood [sic]. DONT HATE THE POICE [sic] BECUSE [sic] YOUR AN IDIOT and moved into a crime area because you were conned by your agent. Now blame the police?? MOVE BACK TO THE BURBS WE DONT WANT YOU HERE!! JUST BECAUSE YOUR [sic] WHITE AND HAVE MONEY DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE GONNA KISS YOUR ASS. I am so sick of you liberals [sic] fools. Leave the police only [sic]. THE POLICE ARE THE ONLY THING THAT SEPERATE [sic] US FROM CHAOS. You obviously are to [sic] weak to protect yourseld [sic] and you know it. You have proven that in a most COWARDLY fashion by sending in your little picture and not identifing [sic] yourseld [sic] . COWARD, YELLOW .
I do not want to take up too much of your time, I just wanted to see what you might advise me to do- as I enjoy reading your columns and I don't know who else to go to, everyone says I should be afraid but they have nothing to suggest what I should do. I am very frustrated knowing that I am disempowered from adequately defending myself or my property in DC. I am always on the lookout for any would-be robbers or muggers, I really, really wish I had a gun. If someone was breaking in my home, as that "cop" implied that someone would do, how do I defend myself? If I was able to call 911 (I am deaf and my videophone doesn't have 911 dialing capabilities), it would take the cops at least 45 mins to arrive, a common experience with some of my deaf neighbors. Talk about taxation without representation! I am almost tempted to buy something from the black market if I have to.
Thanks. That's all I can say for now, before I go to sharpen my vintage World War I German sword in case some suspended cop decides to make up his lost salary by stealing all my scientific stuff I use to carry out my often-spontaneous mad-science experiments!
cheers,
Jason Lamberton
Racist Threat
I have indeed been threatened, seemingly by a racist black cop. I finally read the DCist.com article about the cop car surfing incident and the comments made, and one comment made by the anonymous "Your all Wrong" just totally unnerved me-
The Officer on the hood had just injured his leg and could not walk on it. He had just chased a suspect 5 minuted [sic] earlier. Things are not always how they look. Also, clearly you can see the lights are not flashing, and the vehicle was traveling very slow.

DONT HATE THE POICE [sic] BECUSE [sic] YOUR AN IDIOT and moved into a crime area because you were conned by your agent. Now blame the police?? MOVE BACK TO THE BURBS WE DONT WANT YOU HERE!! JUST BECAUSE YOUR [sic] WHITE AND HAVE MONEY DOES NOT MEAN WE ARE GONNA KISS YOUR ASS. I am so sick of you liberals [sic] fools. Leave the police only [sic].

I sicced all the spelling and grammatical mistakes that idiot made just for the fun of it. That just so shows I'm smarter than him. If he is really that smart, he wouldn't dare do anything to me. Or he WILL really get sicced.
Here's what I had to say in response to that poorly-veiled threat:
This makes me REALLY, REALLY wish DC allowed guns. I would run out and buy one right now.
Did you READ my blog, Your all Wrong? You got it ALL wrong!
I am DEAF and I can SEE. I got EYES. I can't hear whatever it was, woo-woo or EEEooEEE, but I clearly saw the blue and red light flashing.
I CAN'T call 911. I don't have a phone that I can use. I use a videophone, which doesn't have 911 capabilities. If someone breaks in my place, I am screwed and probably will end up dead.
That is why I seriously need a gun.
The DC police has Deaf blood on their hands. Anyone remember the Gallaudet murders? They busted the wrong person and a second student got killed as a result (should I also mention that the 2nd victim was a Muslim?) . If the cops had SIMPLY checked up on Eric Plunkett's (the first victim) credit cards, they wouldn't have interrogated Thomas Minch (the innocent accusee) to the point where he confessed to the murder and almost got thrown in prison for the rest of his life if Jose Mesa (the killer) didn't brutally stab Benjamin Varner (the 2nd victim) to death for his wallet. So, there you have it, if the cops simply checked up on Eric's credit cards, they would have found that Jose Mesa was using it all along and arrested him instead of Tommy, and then a Muslim wouldn't have gotten martyred and an innocent student's reputation ruined for life (we Deaf people are a small community) and never was able to return to Gallaudet after it all. All because of the DC police's fault.
Deaf people don't trust the cops, period.
Moreover, you who just threatened me... You obviously are a RACIST BLACK. I am tired of all the black racism against whites. I totally got nothing against blacks except those who hate whites. To tell ya the truth, blacks have it better than Deaf people because YOU all can communicate, we are isolated in our little world.
DEAF PEOPLE were here FIRST, before any BLACKS. I moved here because of Gallaudet! Gallaudet was founded in 1864. Deaf people have been living around here for 142-and-counting years. We live peacefully amongst the Black and Hearing White residents, it's us whites who get robbed all the time. So, don't tell us to leave. We aren't telling those who came for the MLK riots and stayed to leave. You have to help yourselves, just like Bill Cosby said, like the Deaf are helping ourselves. A higher percentage of whites than blacks died from Hurricane Katrina, by the way. So, if Louis Farrakhan said that whites blew up the levees to kill black people, that means whites conspired to kill a higher number of whites just so a few blacks and asians and all other races could die? Sounds like what is about to happen to Iran after they try to wipe Israel off the map.
There was a deaf student from Gallaudet shot in a leg by some thugs who repeatedly robbed several deaf students. The cops still haven't caught these bad people.
Now, thank you very much, if something happens, the first suspect will be the police themselves!
I warn you, anyone who breaks in my house will be met with preventative measures to ensure my life and safety. This is a bonafide threat against ANY would-be rogue cop-turned-robber plotting any kind of revenge against me.
This threat was made last week, and I probably wouldn't take it as seriously as I am now if I didn't learn from someone who formerly worked for the DC police that her old boss gave her insider info- 6 cops got suspended for a month without pay, 2 lost their ranks! Whoa! There's 6 pissed-off cops with nothing to do for a month, with families to feed and a loss of at least $3,000 in salary. DC just saved themselves maybe 25,000 dollars, gee! (If I get a reward, the cops will DEFINITELY seek my blood). It would be nice, though, as I have zero income right now. I need some more scientific equipment for some of my experiments. My experiments was why I had the camera with me, I was photographing my various scientificisms for the books I'll start publishing soon. And if the cops kill me, I'll become a martyr for both science and the Deaf people. Yet another reason for the cops to think twice before doing something foolish in an act of racist retribution.
Not my fault, anyway. I am absolved of any and all blame in this matter. It was that cop who went car-surfing's responsibility (to maintain and uphold appropriate conduct of a on-duty police officer in public) totally his and the driver who provided the car-wave for the cop to surf on. I just happened to bust him, like cops just happen to bust people who fail to make a complete stop at a stop sign. A bad ankle doesn't give him the right nor authority to car-surf, period. PERIOD. It was not my decision to suspend them (nor was it my decision to be in the right place in the right time, with a camera handy, already set in the burst mode).
If I was the one who metes out punishment of the cops, I would just let the cops' wives (or domestic partners, or mothers) take care of them. I am pretty sure that their loved ones aren't too happy that the kids' daddies risked their lives (and livelihoods) doing something so foolish without thinking twice. Again, the cop(s) don't seem to be very bright, judging from the badly veiled threat he made, (if it was him or some other rogue cop ally) and how SIX cops handled the situation.
The DC cops have yet to earn the respect (and trust) of DC's Deaf population. People always fail to realize that Deaf people ARE a force to be reckoned with. We shut down an university before, we can do other things as well. The police failed to prevent a mob of Gallaudet students from tearing down the goal posts after their undefeated football season last fall, so the overwhelmed cops instead resorted to baton-swinging, hitting students at random, cuffing them with their hands behind their backs, effectively forbidding any way for them to communicate, ignoring repeated pleas from student leaders to cuff hands in the front, not the back, to allow them to communicate.
They clearly don't know what to do with us. We overwhelm them so easily when we mass in numbers. The cops should never forget that. Want evidence? I know who hid the videotape of the cops hitting the students, and I ain't telling. If I get another threat, this will go public. I know that Chris Gordon, the NBC4 reporter who interviewed me on TV, would love to air the tape of several overwhelmed cops hitting students with batons randomly with no effect. It just made the situation worse and the students, who had hitherto been repelled several times, surged again and basically made the DC cops fail yet again at their mission to protect life and property on Kendall Green.
And those are the people who we have to trust our lives (and money when we get robbed or burglarized) with, because in DC, we are not allowed to have a pistol or rifle in order to defend ourselves from a person about to kill. Not even tasers are allowed! for protection from all the gun-wielding thugs around here. Luckily, it is legal in DC to own a shotgun. I think I will go out and buy one today. Is it better to get a legal lethal weapon or an illegal, but nonlethal taser? Break the law or be safe? I pick my life over the law ANY DAY. That's what happens when there's taxes without representation. There's nobody to represent us, to demand the right to defend ourselves from the thuggistic low-lifes who think they rule the streets like kings. That will not last.
Behind the Stages of a News Segment on Location
Whizzing by Mathematically at 27 MPH
Yet again, I have been labelled as a math whiz. All my life, people always thought that I had this "mathematical genius" and I always feel that it is not so. I often freeze up at the simplest arthimetic processes/problems. When I taught algebra at Gallaudet, my students often caught me making mistakes when it comes to numbers and quick thinking. When I was on the College Bowl team, it was de facto that I carry the mathematical burden, despite my deep reluctance based on the fact that the other members on the team were actually more competent at quick calculations than I was. I guess it is just that I am good at noticing patterns and connecting the dots.
NBC4 News determined that I was a "math whiz" because I "calculated the speed of the cruisers at about 27 mph above the posted speed limit." That's a half wrong statement! I never said that I calculated the speed of the police cruiser as going 27 MPH above the speed limit, which would be 52 MPH! The cop doesn't look like he is bracing commensurate to a 52 MPH velocity. He looks like he is going closer to 25-30 MPH. I simply said that I calculated the cop's speed at 27 MPH. I got proof. I still got the notes that Chris Gordon, the reporter and I exchanged. I am adding a picture of the page to prove it. It was the paper and pen doing the translating.
 OK, now, HOW did I come to 27 MPH? Actually, specifically, it is 27.272727272727 repeating ad infinitum miles per hour. Yes, really! You see, the distance that the car travelled between the 2 frames can be measured. The recent road construction patches helped as marking guides. I went outside, and measured the distance, which was 40 feet. My camera's burst mode records a shot every second, so the cop cruiser went 40 feet in 1 second.
 It's pretty straightforward. 5,280 feet in 1 mile. 60 seconds in 1 minute, 60 minutes in 1 hour. From that, I had the car going 2400 feet per minute, which translates to 144,000(!) feet per hour (multiply by 60 seconds, then 60 minutes). You then divide 144,000 feet per hour with 5,280, thereby giving us 27.272727272727272727272727272727. Wow! Very nice set of numbers!
Proud of yer geniuses!
Yipee! I can't help it but be excited at 6:44 AM! The cause of my excitement is the fact that Nikola Tesla, one of my top scientist heroes, just came out as the #1 ranked genius in LiveScience.com's Greatest Modern Minds poll.
 I wouldn't be so excited if Nikola was not the underdog in this poll! I bet that not many of youse have heard of Mr. Tesla, let alone know that half of our electrical lives depend on his inventions. You see, he is the father of AC, alternating current, like Thomas Edison was father of DC, direct current. I needn't get into too much details right now and explain the difference between these two types of electricity. Basically, it all comes down to this: the difference between AC/DC (not the rock band!) is like opposites: AC is the stuff that comes out of your wall socket, and DC is battery juice.
History has not served Nikola Tesla right. He was basically overlooked, till recently. It thrilled me to see that he was even considered for the poll, let alone place in the top ten! A couple of weeks ago, he was 8th on the list, and now he shot up to #1! Way to go, Nikola! Check out my blog post from a while ago about him.
 It is a weird feeling, to feel proud of my heroes, most of whom are dead. Dead in body, but very vibrantly alive in spirit, I tell you! Leonardo da Vinci, another of my top heroes, remains the 2nd most popular genius of modern times. Before I run off back to my experiments, I should take this time to commend several more of my heroes. Bravo, Galileo Galilei, Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking, and Ben Franklin! They are the ones who really played a heavy influence on who I am. I am struggling to find Alexander Graham Bell's place... That's totally another topic for me to talk about later!
I tell you, reading their own words really does something to your mind- it is like they are talking directly to you. For example, it is much more inspiring to read Ben Franklin recount in his own words how his intense curiosity led him to foolhardily fly his kite with the key attached during a lightning storm rather than to reading about it in a dry textbook. Or Albert Einstein's passionate letters striving for an eternal peace between the Arabs and Jews. You don't get these types of insights into the mind of geniuses in books other than those written by themselves! So, I encourage you to do the same!
Another of my posts, rehashes Ben Franklin's famous 12 Rules of Management. Take some tips from the man himself!
Right now, I am reading Michael Faraday's (a recent addition to my list of heroes) book, The Chemical History of a Candle. Quite illuminating.
Tsunami Surfing
It's 11:16 PM, and I am posting this to follow up after all seem to have quieted down. I never really expected that I would wake up to see a media truck outside, camera trying to get a shot of me through the windows. Jon, by brother told me that I held off Chris, the reporter for 5 hours! Gawrsh, I honestly don't mean to cause such a tsunami of events stemming from a couple innocuous, albeit serendipitous photographs. I don't want to see any harm done, like suspending the officer. The image of him with a huge grin is seared into my mind. He really seemed like he was having fun. I would too, to be honest! I love "flying" and moving at 27 mph really is a thrill! *clarification here: my calculations had the cop cruiser going at 27 mph, NOT 27 mph ABOVE the speed limit, making that 52 mph! That would be SCARY, and the cop would be totally terrified, not totally excited, grinning like he was riding the best roller coaster at Six Flags! *
The news on TV made it seem like vengeance should befall the DC police department, but I honestly don't want it to seem that way. All my friends (and my folks, too) tell me I should be on the lookout for some sort of retribution from the cops. I know that DC's finest wouldn't sink that low and that the officer honestly didn't feel like walking the 2 blocks with a sore ankle.
What I wanted to go on to say on TV was that I really think that the morale of this situation should be that you should simply never, NEVER go car-surfing. That means riding on the hood or top of the car. Even if it is just 5 mph! Like Ricky mentioned on his blog, the first thing that came to mind when I first glimpsed the cop surfing was Darrell Ritter, my lifelong buddy. Right before we were to go to Gallaudet as freshmen, he went car surfing and got hurt. He sustained a significant crack on his skull behind his ear and experienced bouts of seizures, causing short-term amnesia. Thank God, he is OK now, but what if a drunk driver ran the stop sign at I and 8th street right when the cop cruiser crossed the intersection? I would really hate to think about whether if the officer had family, a wife and kids? That should be the bottom line, the lesson of all this, not some petty suspension or conduct unbecoming a police officer.
This incident also made me realize that the power is really in the people, not the government and/or reigning powers. We all know that "Big Brother" is watching over all of us. Right now, there must be a Keyhole satellite snapping pictures of the bum sipping coffee at the I-395 on-ramp cardboard mansion. But, it is US, the people, who are watching the government at work. We catch them doing good and bad deeds like they do us. The problem is that "they" are able to deny everything, while we carry the burden of proof. Alas, technology has progressed to the point where parity between the government and its citizens can finally be achieved - for the time being.
There is one thing that I am really, really afraid about. What if a really big, bad catastrophe hit DC? That supposed tsunami from the Canary Islands? Some nuke set off in the middle of DC, small enough for a high survival rate, ensuring that chaos will reign? What we witnessed in New Orleans, we will see all over again. Mass evacuations gone awry. Teeming hordes of poor citizens crossing all racial lines begging to be helped amid all the mass lootings, riotings and shootings.
DC has experienced big riots, right after MLK was assassinated, necessitating the deployment of the DC National Guard onto Gallaudet's campus. There were soldiers camped out all over the football field. Mom tells me that several Guard soldiers impregnated some Gallaudet women students! Not only that, there were snipers shooting at Gallaudet from West Virginia Ave. Mom and Dad tells me that at the cafeteria, the army told them they had to move all over to one side so the bullets that were hitting the cafeteria windows wouldn't hit anybody. Steve Vollmar tells me that his father, Larry, experienced getting shot at while at track practice. Imagine that happening today! Gallaudet would virtually close down, and it would become a media frenzy.
What I am really concerned about is the fact that the deaf will be in a bad spot if all his happens again. If that apocalyptic black militant Islamic-Christian fatigue-wearing group preaching Armageddon at H and 8th St. NE every weekend incites some kind of rioting, whites will be targeted, whether deaf or hearing. I am really scared to think about what might happen, if they start looting, breaking into houses. It is a fact that most deaf homes don't have TTYs. Technological miracles have given us video phones, pagers, the Internet, AIM, etc, but one crucial thing we all often forget about is the fact that most of us have an inability to dial 911. I don't have a telephone. Yes, I do, but it is for DSL, and I do not have a TTY. If someone was to be breaking into my home, I would have no way to call 911, nor defend myself adequately.
The DC police are infamous for messing up the relations between the police and the deaf. Recently, there was this strange mass "rioting" that went on at the football field at Gallaudet where 300+ students swarmed the football field in waves, trying to tear down the football goalposts amid a number of DC cops swinging batons, hitting students at random. Communication was a problem, a student was handcuffed behind his back and unable to communicate with the police or the campus security.
That also brings up to mind some other incidents. The Gallaudet campus security killed Carl Dupree. The police shot and killed Eric Smith. The police bungled the investigation, of the first murder at Gallaudet thereby resulting in the unnecessary murder of Ben Varner. All would have not happened if not for simple communication breakdowns.
If they had caught on the right clues, it would have led them to Jose Mesa, killer of both Eric Plunkett and Ben Varner. Should I also add that the DC police has Muslim blood on their hands? Ben was a Muslim. Where was the outcry from Islamic groups when Ben was killed in cold blood, stabbed to death? Whenever a Muslim is killed, Islamic groups often vent their rage. Where were they when Ben was killed? Is it because Islam looks upon the deaf as the living proof of God's wrath? More on this later.
Car-Surfing D.C. Cops
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. A laughing police officer in full uniform and cap, sitting on a patrol car hood while moving at least 25 mph (without wearing his seat belt, I should say), with sirens a-blazin, running stop signs. Even more unbeliveable was the fact that I had my new camera that I got for Christmas handy (thanks, Mom and Dad!) and was able to grab it, turn it on and squeeze off some shots before this incident disappeared into the dustbin of history's denials. Evidence, evidence, now we have solid photo evidence of the general attitude and morale of the D.C. police force, one of which is a lackluster vigor to protect and serve its citizens. In fact, they already have Deaf blood on their hands. I'll get to that later. (closeup of cop car-surfer from first picture) Here's the pictures. Luckily, my camera was in multi-burst mode in which you just squeeze and hold the shutter and it takes pictures every second. I didn't have time to set anything up, just to turn the camera on before the cars whoosed by.

It happened last Sunday, January 15th, at 4:58 pm. I was doing several experiments at the same time, as I customarily do, and was on a break, relaxing in the hammock and looking outside the window, pondering the progress of the experiments, looking at the birds when flashes of red and blue caught my eye. Cop car sirens about 2 blocks away, at I and 8th streets, NE. I saw like three or four patrol cars converged, which you see on almost a daily basis as a District resident. After that was totally unexpected. I was doing some experiments with a prism when I noticed the siren light reflections on the wall moving, so I moved to the window and saw the cop sitting on the hood of the patrol car, laughing. That's when I snapped the photos.
*Reporters are trying to get ahold of me. There's a news truck hovering outside, a camera trying to get a shot of me through the window and I keep on getting calls, so I will finish this after I deal with all the mushrooming attention this has gotten! Washington Post, NBC, DC Examiner, etc is really following up on this. So, more on this later!*
The Reality of Cyclops
This is so shocking that it causes me to blog for the first time in, what, months? So much for me to say, it is like the breaking of the Hoover Dam. Stay tuned! That's all I can say, because that huge monkeyfaced cyclopsoid kitten keeps on staring at me from the screen. So, let's see how you can take it staring at you!
 Cy the kitten born with one eye and no nose whoa!

For
me, this site will be less of a personal diary and daily pulpit,
rather, it will focus strongly on being an e-soapbox for my

Formerly Known As An Embryonic Stem Cell, Jason C. Lamberton.
