Murtari Update: A Day in the Life

Latest from Teri on John Murtari here. Thanks Teri! And keep the faith, John! Excerpt:
"The following message was written by John Murtari on August 20, the day before doctors removed his feeding tube. He learned on Wednesday they would not be reinserting it as planned. He immediately resumed his hunger strike; no food or liquid, just enough water to keep his mouth moist.
John sounded weak on Friday, and I haven’t heard from him as expected this morning. I pray he’s in court today."

Could Someone Please Remind Me...
...how the state imprisoning a loving father who has been consistently abused by his ex-wife, misandric lawmakers and the "family" courts is going to help anyone? Assuming the vindictive woman who stole his child actually needs the money she extorts from him to raise his son (not that she needs to prove this "need", she's simply "entitled" to steal his child and his wages because she is in possession of a vagina, and can spend the extorted dollars on street drugs if she so chooses while his son starves to death, for all the state cares), it doesn't matter: she's not receiving it. Any earnings from employment or a business that Mr. Murtari might have had before being falsely imprisoned are long gone, so there's nothing else for her to steal. Even the abusive woman loses in this case. Her loss is a fringe benefit of this disaster, but it's a costly and bitter victory against peonage, to be sure.
No extortion will ever be paid if he dies in prison. What about the state that's trying to kill him, all to hand a few blood-soaked dollars over to a bitter, abusive woman who presently lives in a triple income household thanks to Mr. Murtari's peonage? Will they "pick up the tab" if they succeed? What about the taxpayer-funded female supremacists and misandrists that are sure to be denouncing him as a "deadbeat" and "rapist", all while cheering for the woman that is the primary author of this tragedy? How about the woman who stole his child and his money, and ultimately chose to place Mr. Murtari in this situation? Of course not. It's all about her entitlement, her choices. She won't face prison even if she violates every last element of the very same court order that was used to falsely imprison Mr. Murtari.
Having a vagina results in nearly infinite privilege before the law.
What about his son? Assuming Mr. Murtari survives this ordeal and doesn't become another faceless martyr among the millions of men who have died in this war against us, there are some very serious long-term health consequences to the hunger strike, stress and repeated periods of imprisonment he's going through. As a father, his opportunity to participate in his son's life is diminished, not just because of his false imprisonment, but also because his life expectancy is diminished as a direct result of this mistreatment. There's no opportunity for the son and father to spend time together while he's in prison, and very much per the court's and his ex-"wife"'s wishes, the poverty he's facing when released will ensure that he remains permanently absent from his son's life. Not that this will in any way release him from his indentured servitude to a woman who apparently is so incompetent, she needs not one but two men to support her. Equality, indeed.
Mr. Murtari's options were simple: pay every cent you can to a privileged, vindictive woman and her state-sponsored enforcement army, a woman who managed to move to the other side of the continent and kidnap your son, and you might get the privilege of paying thousands of dollars to see him a few times a year, assuming you're current on your extortion payments and the woman doesn't interfere with his court-ordered right to visitation. Interfering with visitation is, of course, a criminal breach of a court order which, oddly enough, results in no sanctions for a woman, despite the fact that a man breaching the very same order does hard time in prison.
His only alternatives? Flight to avoid unlawful prosecution, persecution, peonage and imprisonment, never to see his son again. Or endless, costly and futile legal battles against a system and society that hate him, treating him as nothing more than a disposable beast of burden, all of this to be followed immediately by false imprisonment, starvation, poverty, decades of indentured servitude and of course, never seeing his son again.
Being a man, John chose the only honorable route. Honor is a masculine concept, so this is no surprise. That the parasitical woman involved lacks honor, decency or the slightest fragment of humanity is equally unsurprising; as a masculine ideal, honor is simply outside the comprehension of most women. It is unfortunate that such an honorable man was ever involved with such a parasite.
Mr. Murtari is my hero, and I pray that he comes through this safely, able to spend his remaining years with his son in peace, as nature intended. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for making such an enormous sacrifice on our collective behalf.
Civil Rights Issue
In the letter I received from John he said that his cause is a civil rights cause. He wants the law to recognize the right of BOTH parents to be viewed as equally qualified to raise children unless it is proven that one parent is more capable than the other. And he also wants divorce, custody and support issues to have the protection of a jury rather than some political tyrant in a black robe deciding your future and micromanaging your personal finances and interaction with your children. Even petty thieves are entitled to a jury. Sounds reasonable to me.
Also, I guess he was just getting tired of supporting a perpetual student in her endless chase of academic paper. She has a Bachelor's degree, a Master and in now in a doctorial program which is the reason she moved across country. I assume she is about the same age as John who is 49. Just when is she supposed to stop the paper chase and and use all that expensive education to get a damned job rather than be an economic parasite on John's and her son's life?
Brave
I wish there were words that could express the rage I feel against the system Mr. Murtari is facing. One day I feel I will be jailed as well and I hope I have the strength of character of Mr. Murtari. I don't think I would be able to live with myself if I did anything less. If Mr. Murtari dies, make no mistake, it is not suicide but cold blooded, calculated murder.
