Port Townsend ~ Human Rights for “Some” “People”

Written Upon the Belief and Knowledge
of Reverend Crystal Cox
All Faith Church
Port Townsend, Washington

Port Townsend City Attorney Heidi Greenwood of the Council Culture and Society Committee invites Olympic Pride Founder to Speak on the Creation of a Declaration of Port Townsend as a Humans Rights City.

Port Townsend Washington DOES NOT Qualify
to Be Labeled as a “Human Rights City”.

Port Townsend is Not a Place of Dignity, Safety, Human Rights, Civil Rights, Equity, and Non-Discrimination for and Equal to All Individuals, Groups, Parties, and Social Status.

Port Townsend is a City of Flat out Discrimination and Blatant Disregard for Human Rights, Safety, Dignity, and Basic Respect, of any individual, class, or group that does not meet the “City’s” Criteria for “Human” or fit their definition of a “People” deserving of “Human Rights” “Non-Discrimination” “Safety” “Dignity” and “Welcoming” .

Port Townsend is a City that picks and chooses who the Laws applies To based solely on Discrimination, Inequality, Personal Opinion, Prejudice, and Feelings of “Some” Not ALL Equally. The Opposite of “Human Rights”.

Port Townsend is a City that will set up a homeless man, and flat out Defy a Court Order to Return his Dog, his Private Valuable Property and Emotional support animal. And with Serious Discrimination, Inequality, Lawless Prejudice and No Basic Human Rights.

The City of Port Townsend and Jefferson County Government is a Lawless Bunch that decides who the law applies to and who it does not apply to, clearly based on DISCRIMINATION, personal opinion, Inequality, and their personal political ideology.

The City of Port Townsend and their Co-Conspirators decide amongst themselves who gets “Human Rights”, whose tears and pain have “value” to them or their political agenda, and only those “people” will be protected by the police, have human rights, be given equal voice and participation in local law making and government doctrine.

Port Townsend proposes, as a matter of Proclamation and Law, that we are not “Men” or “Women”, but instead “People”, people who they claim have equal human rights, equal protection under the law, equal dignity, blah blah blah, Flat Out Hypocritical LIES.

There is nothing non-discriminating and Equal about how the City of Port Townsend Government and Jefferson County Government Rules their Kingdom, and doles out their pay raises, performance bonuses, laws, proclamations, contracts, side deals, secret projects, grants, funding and bullying.

In Order to Be a Human Rights City, or taken Serious about Creating a Human Rights Commission, First, those involved in massive human rights violations in the events surrounding our attack and violation of Human Rights at the Julie Jaman Press Conference, must admit to their wrong doing, their discrimination, and their incitement of hate and violence toward Julie Jaman and those of us who they denied due process.

First the City Council, Commissioner Kate Dean, the Mayor, the City Manager, the Chief of Police, the YMCA, Quimper Church, and Olympic Pride Must admit to what they did to incite Violence, and Deny Human Rights deliberately, with intent, and actual malice.

It is not about agreeing with someone, it is about Live and Let Live. It is about not abusing, shunning, bullying, berating, silencing someone just because you do not believe the same as they do.

In the Julie Jaman Case, she was on the RIGHT side of the Law, of the Moral Compass, and of YMCA Policy. The YMCA, the City Manager, the City Attorney, the Police could have EASILY chosen neutrality, or at least investigated the facts, before choosing a side as they all did right away, in the very first 24 hours.

Yes Human Rights, Dignity, Respect, Safety, Equality for Trans Women, however NOT ONLY Trans Women, Not ONLY Trans Rights and the rest of us get beat in the street, and have no Human Rights, No Rights to Due Process, Safety, Dignity, or Respect.

Yes Trans Rights are Human Rights So are ALL Our Rights

Research for Human Rights Complaints Led to Finding
Information about Port Townsend Believing it Could be
A City of Human Rights

I am working on a Human Rights Complaint and Connected Legal Action to file against the City of Port Townsend, Olympic Pride (Local NonProfit), the Port Townsend Police and Police Chief Thomas Olson, Quimper Unitarian Church and Beau Ohlgren Director of Family Ministry, as well as Port Townsend City Manager John Mauro, City Attorney Heidi Greenwood, and other corporations and individuals involved in Human Rights Violations, discrimination, and inequality against Julie Jaman, and subsequently Amy Sousa of which led to Human Rights Violations, discrimination, and inequality which incited an angry mob to silence, bully, and assault those of us who dared to speak right there, below the ivory tower windows of the Elite City Council, in the streets of Port Townsend, Washington’s beautiful Victorian Seaport Town.

Meanwhile The Port Townsend Police stood below those same windows, of the Gods of Port Townsend, and Watched as we were pummeled into the Red Bricks where we had danced at a steampunk festival not long before.

Port Townsend Steampunk Festival in that Very Spot

Chief of Police Thomas Olson, with malicious intent, ordered the Port Townsend Police to stand down, to not help us. 911 was Called and the State Police came and then the PT police were forced, or shamed into crossing the street. Even though Chief Olson admitted to the Peninsula Daily News about his knowledge of their batons, guns and other weaponry he knew they had.

You can easily see and hear, on officer cam footage of the event, that the Port Townsend Police are pretty much Good Men, trying to do a Good Job, as they chatter about how to help, and how to round up the instigators and separate the groups. See there were 400 of them in that Olympic Pride Terrorist Mob incited by the City, and there were 11 of us speakers, and our dozen or so supporters, mostly elders.

Many of the Port Townsend Police were trying to do their job that fateful night but answering to an unconstitutional, human rights violating, civil rights violating, prejudice, discriminating boss, Port Townsend Police Chief Thomas Olson. Who was in communication with City Manager John Mauro, and clearly showed their discrimination, prejudice and intent weeks prior to violate our civil rights, Our Human Rights, that night.

Yet here we see the Hypocritical Dodgy City of Port Townsend Officials trying to spread Dangerous Misinformation and convince the world, the Human Rights Commision, the UN, that Port Townsend Washington is some Destination of Divine Human Rights. A place in which human rights run free and wild organically in the streets of the most perfect shiny human rights city in the universe. She says with a great deal of mockery and sarcasm.

Police Chief Olson Watching our Assault

We were a bipartisan group of women, men, lesbians, gay, bisexual, straight, christian, pagan, a very diverse group indeed. MOST OF ALL we were and are “Humans”, Deserving of Human Rights. We were violently shut down, silenced, intimated and assaulted. All the Police had to do was cross the street and show presence early on, or even a section of barrier fencing. Yet we did not warrant the Human Rights of either.

About a month after the Julie Jaman Press Conference, Chief Olson wrote the, now infamous, “Lessons Learned” gibberish report, in his official capacity, to City officials, of which, he threw Amy Sousa under the bus yet again for a bit more abuse and a heaping helping of those homegrown Port Townsend “Human Rights”. Note here that Chief Olson also threw his officers under the bus, as he berated them for saying too much on video, see he wants them to simply obey and not question, to not do their job or protect constitutional and human rights, unless he says so.

This email and official Lessons Learned Report was clearly sent in an attempt to say, hey not our fault, not our liability. I will post much more on the “Lessons Learned” Report from Olson the City of PT in a Future Article. Olson made sure the City knew that when Amy Sousa applied for her Permit for the Event, that Amy checked the box of not needing “police staff”. Keep in mind Olson was told that there was a call to action, FOI shows easily he knew of potential violence and he deliberately let us burn per se, right there in the Shiny City of Human Rights on the Port Townsend Bay.

Two weeks later on September 3rd 2022 there would be another Event, this Event for US to Protest what the City of Port Townsend and their Co-Conspirators did on August 15th 2022 at the Julie Jaman Press Conference. At This Event we would see approximately 60 Law Enforcement Officers including State Patrol, Coast Guard, Helicopter Police, Clallam County Deputies, Jefferson County Deputies and the Port Townsend Police there to protect us, and to keep the groups separated.

Oh SNAP, Would You Believe it? Turns out the Man who got the Permit for that Event, Robert Zerfing, well, he checked that very same box, ya know the one that Evil Olson is trying to use to limit the City of Port Townsend’s liability for doing NOTHING as us “human” “people” were being assaulted.

Well, ya see, City Council, Amy wanted it that way, she checked the box, see see right there neener neener. WOW what a tangled web we weave. No worries however, I intend to untangle it all and it WILL BE YOUR LEGACY.

As is Our Blood, now a legacy in its permanent alchemizing with the Red Bricks on the Cotton Building and the Brick Ground Cover next to it, where all the world famous Port Townsend Special Events take place year after year.

I have been to a whole lot of “Special Events” in Port Townsend for over a decade. Not one of the incidents that happened to us that night would have been allowed at any Port Townsend Event to anyone, regardless of what box the originator of the Permit checked.

It is Easily Seen in FOI eMails that Chief Olson, Beau Ohlgren of Quimper Universalist Unitarian Fellowship and City Manager John Mauro prejudiced, conspired against, bullied, despised, denied human rights and equality to Julie Jaman and had already decided, from Day ONE, what they would “tolerate” and what they would turn a blind eye to.

Spoiler Alert: they WILL NOT TOLERATE Stickers. Oh unless it's BLM, Musicians, Events, Groups, Jokes, Art, Festivals or the other hundreds upon hundreds of stickers I have seen posted in the streets of Port Townsend over the last decade I have lived here.

They hated Julie and Amy from the start, and punished them. Along with this extreme prejudice, Denial of Due Process, discrimination and Violation of Human Rights, they endangered the life, well being and mental health of Julie Jaman and Amy Sousa that out of pure Discrimination, Prejudice and NOTHING to Do With Equality, and a Pledge to Human Rights. The rest of us, well, we were endangered as well and assaulted, because Olson and Mauro hated Amy and Julie so much they let us all get a Dose of PT Human Rights.

They incited and allowed our flat out assault, violation of free speech, and complete Denial of Equality and Human Rights. Note that the emails are copied to City Attorney Heidi Greenwood. Because City Manager John Mauro was terrified, as he is quoted as saying, “Looping Heidi in as I do when things terrify me”. In Other words he feared the city's financial liability in it all, and rightly so.

Thing is, it was Easy at that point, the YMCA is a non-profit that was and is independently managing the City Property and has an Operating Agreement and Operating Standards with the city, that I would say is a legally binding contract as a matter of law.

The YMCA was not part of the City Government, Easy Breezy, City in the Clear, no Liability. Depending, of course, on what the operating agreement says, maybe it does say the City Manager and Chief of Police, along with Olympic Pride and Quimper Church will decide who has rights at the YMCA. Maybe the operating agreement says that the City Manager should decide who is right in any situation with no investigation needed.
A Bit about that Operating Agreement.

Now I am not claiming to be a law expert in any way, however, I have had my own real estate company, construction company, restaurant, forestry company and many other businesses for 30 years. So I have my opinion based on experience and well, take it or leave it.

So Who is Liable for Discrimination, Hate Crimes, Inciting Violence, Senior Rights Violation, YMCA Employee Management and Policies, Violation of Due Process, Violation of Constitutional Rights, Upholding Protected Class Laws, Proper Changing Areas Per State Laws, oh and that Pesky “Rule of Three” YMCA Policy that Good Samaritan Julie Jaman brought to the YMCA’s attention just before they banned her for LIFE?

In my Opinion, the City had No Liability or Duty, at that moment in time, July 27th 2022 when City Manager John Mauro got the “news” of the “individual trespassed from the YMCA” and sent his now infamous email shouting the news to the world and picking sides with No Due Process or Investigation into Legal Matters, Contract Law, What Was True or Not True, or considering any Human Rights, Dignity, or Respect.

Prior to that moment, that official email on that day, the City had No LIABILITY, as a matter of Law, Contract Law at least right?
In My Opinion they City Had No Liability that first day and could have simply stayed out of it, or at the very least Neutral, and applied the Law without Bias, Discrimination, and Prejudice.

The City had an agreement that gave them “Clean Hands” (a legal term). Yet Big Ol’ Goofy John Stepped into a Big Ol’ Pile of Legal GOO and Liability that the whole entire world would soon know about just days later.

You See, the City of Port Townsend was not contracted to be involved with any of the YMCA actions, decisions, discriminations, prejudices, rules and procedures, employee policy, rulings or choices in the matter, as I interpret it. The City was not even responsible to bring the bathrooms up to meet state law, or even if they would have made structural changes, it still was the YMCA’s responsibility to abide by “all laws applicable’, per the Contract. It was the YMCA’s responsibility to bring to attention that the building was not in compliance with State Law, as far as I understand the Operating Agreement.

So, Whew No Liability for PT Right?

Sure, UNLESS, like a Bull in a China shop as they say, the City steps in, sides with one party with no investigation, counsels, orders or demands the local law take one side with prejudice and discrimination and without any investigation. And then proceeds to incite a violent mob, then defends the mob's actions in the streets, and then the Mayor’s Law Firm represents our assailant’s in court. Well then Ya Liability.
