A publicly elected county Sheriff refusing to discharge his duties to resolve the issues at the lowest level and least adversarial manner possible by properly advising a county government official to cease and desist his criminal acts. But apparently being on speed dial for that county government official, as evident from Bob Cirtin's email letting me know he would contact Sheriff Amott directly to file criminal charges against me, rather than also being required to call 911, as Sheriff Amott instructs me to do. And of course, !am sure that the fact Mr. Cirfin controls the budget for the Greene County Sheriff's Department, and is paying for the legal defense of Sheriff Amott in the lawsuit filed against him by the City of Springfield, has nothing to do with Sheriff Amott’s hostility, refusal to discharge his duties, and implied threats towards me, and favoritism that he gives to Mr. Cirtin. Ifyou believe it has nothing to do with this, |have some swamp land in Florida to sell you. Insofar as Mr. Cirtin -- Ihave had great difficulty understanding why he has been so incredibly hostile towards me when, by all accounts, my political dissenting speech to him has been mild in seston aecxn018 Pret opposing his wanting to increase public taxes to pay the salaries of our deputy sheriff's when the county commission apparently has money to want to build a paring lot jail for inmates. Moreover, considering that my article, "I Am" is good enough, made no effort to criticize directly or call him out in public view for anything he has specifically done. Then it dawned on me this, morning when Iran an email check on Mr. Cirfin and found that our first encounter occurred in September 2013 and for, which | still have the emails, when he purportedly investigated, on behalf of the State of Missouri, a nurse physically abusing my Ward of guardianship, but also refused to investigate the second nurse involved who had deliberately obstructed the state investigation from occurring. So now ! understand why Mr. Cirfin has been so incredibly hostile with me and why he has the mentality that he is entitled to commit criminal acts. This is how those in government act in Missouri, how they treat citizens who call them out on what they do, the freedom they take to commit criminal acts against citizens, and what happens when legisiators enact laws that they know or should know are in fact legally unconstitutional. And itis precisely this type of mentality and practice among those in govemment that caused the Ferguson incident to occur because in local politics, those in government believe they can do as they damn wel please to citizens and screw the law.

Rather, as my email to you clearly shows, I simply sought and formally requested your assistance in properly advising Mr. Cirtin to immediately cease and desist his criminal acts against me, to- wit, resolves the issues t the lowest level and nonadversairal manner possible. Mr. Cirtin sent me an emai telling me that | should consult state law on harassment and predicated that you agree with him in his claim that he would have a valid claim under sub-paragraph (5) of the state law.

Sheriff Jim Amott Sent from my iPhone On Aug 22, 2016, at 6:11 PM, Christopher wrote: Sheriff Jim Amott, in the email | received from Greene County Commissioner, Bob Cirtin, that threatens me with criminal charges, Mr. Cirtin specifically cited your belief that the harassment statute, RSMo 565.090, applies to everyone including publicly elected officials as it applies under sub-paragraph (5) of the statute to bar "repeated unwanted communications” and using such to predicate an allegation of criminal conduct on my part if |oommunicate with him again, and his seeking your professional intervention, in your capacity as the Greene County Sheriff, to pursue criminal charges against me if communicate with him again. In my responding email to Mr. Cirtin, I cited an article that is, written by licensed attomey's in St. Louis, and discusses Missouri statute RSMo 565.090, and in particular whether sub-paragraph (5) in the statute is constitutionally valid and thereby legally enforceable as a matter of law. Attached hereto is a PDF copy of the 2012 ruling from the Supreme Court of Missouri that invalidates sub-paragraph (5) of the harassment statute constituting "repeated unwanted communications," on the predicate that such is unconstitutionally overbroad. See pages 7 to 10. Specifically, the court pointed out, on page 10, that: Section 565,090.1(5) criminalizes communication protected by the First ‘Amendment. “itis firmly settied that under our Constitution the public expression of ideas mayezzot6 seattle Print not be prohibited merely because the ideas are themselves offensive to some of their hearers.” Street v. New York, 394 U.S. 576, 592 (1969). Immediately after Mr. Cirtin sent me his email threatening me with criminal charges under RSMo 565.060.1(5), he then sent me a second email that explicitly and implicitly proclaims his official position in that while he [purports] to care about what people have to say, he does not care about what | have to say. As such, Mr. Cirtin unequivocally and categorically shows that his dissent is specifically directed at me personally and having no regard for what I have to say about anything, regardless of subject, ttle, or content. In other words, Mr. Cirtin uses his threat of criminal charges to chill any and all lawful speech that I would engage in with Mr. Cirlin, as a publicly elected official. This includes, but is not, limited to, speech that is political and religious. Moreover, speech that would seek to redress grievances with or to petition the Greene County Commission such as, but not limited to, my clearly established statutory rights under RSMo 475.120.6, which gives me legal authority to petition the county commission for funding for and on behalf of my Ward of guardianship and for, which Mr. Cirtin has no legal authority whatsoever to deprive or abridge such ‘communications because itis a guaranteed statutory right that I hold, Because Mr. Cirlin knew or should have known that he held absolutely no legal basis in law in his claim that further effort on my part to communicate with him, would be a criminal act, and, thus, making his threat to have criminal charges filed against me legal and lawful, with purpose to knowingly, wilfully, intentionally, and maliciously chill my lawful political and religious speech to publicly elected officials, Mr. Cirtin’s conduct meets the statutory definition of harassment Pursuant to RSMo 565.090.1(1) and / or (6) (2016).Therefore, | am formally and herein requesting that you properly instruct Mr. Critin to immediately cease and desist his criminal conduct against me.
