Anger Management Makes Me Angry.

Don't ever get arrested for "Domestic Violence" in the state of Michigan; at least not in the county of Berrien.

It doesn't matter if you are guilty or not you will be prosecuted for a misdemeanor no matter what because it is a money maker for the state. The process is a scam for which the state makes money off of probably more so than any other misdemeanor crime on its statutes.

The definition of "Domestic Violence" is as follows:
The occurrence of any of the following acts by a person that is not an act of self-defense: causing or attempting to cause physical or mental harm to a family or household member; placing a family or household member in fear of physical or mental harm; causing or attempting to cause a family or household member to engage in involuntary sexual activity by force, threat of force, or duress; and/or engaging in activity toward a family or household member that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized, frightened, intimidated, threatened, harassed, or molested.

Further, the act defines "family or household member" to include any of the following:

* A spouse or former spouse.
* An individual with whom the person has or has had a dating relationship.
* An individual with whom the person is or has engaged in a sexual relationship.
* An individual to whom the person is related or was formerly related by marriage.
* An individual with whom the person has a child in common.
* The minor child of an individual described in the above bullet points.

The definition of "Domestic Violence" in the state of Michigan:
* $1,000 for a lawyer that doesn't earn the $1,000
* $   800 fine to the state of Michigan
* $   100 for a test to determine if you need "Anger Management" Courses (Discussed in   details below)
* $   750 for these "Anger Management" Courses. (Paid in 30 weekly increments of $25 per week) and
* 9 months of Probation.

Now; these so called "Anger Management" Courses and its "Test" to determine whether or not you need to take these classes is performed by an organization that is owned and operated by the same entity / person. This "Test" has questions on it that are in no way answerable; you're damned if you say "Yes" and your damned if you say "No" to certain of these questions.
For example:

"Has the usage of cocaine ever interfered with your ability to perform your employment responsibilities?"

The only options that you have to answer this question is with a "Yes" or "No". NOW WTF?
I HAVE NEVER EVER used cocaine in my F-ing life! If I answer "Yes" or "No"; I'm admitting to the fact that I have used cocaine. WTF???

This “Test” is administered and scored by this so called "Doctor" whom also owns and operates the company which also administers these "Anger Management" classes. This "Doctor" is neither a medical doctor or a psychiatrist; he merely has a Doctorate's Degree in Education.

How does this qualify him to perform such an "Evaluation" to begin with. How in the F can he be allowed to profit off of this very serious crime. Yes; “Domestic Violence” is a crime that is of serious nature and needs to be curbed; however, should such an entity and/or person be allowed to profit from this crime? This "Quack" (for all pretenses) is making money by not only charging you a hundred bucks for each “Test”, he's also making $750 per person that he puts into the program. He never even showed me my results of this “Test” and I received the same 30 weeks of "Anger Management" classes that another person in the class received for stabbing his girl with a F-ing knife! WTF???

The “Anger Management” classes that I attended had roughly 28 to 30 people per week; let's just average this at 30 people then let us multiply that by 6 different classes being serviced at various locations and various nights of the week throughout the county of Berrien, MI. That brings us to 180 people per week at $25 / week or $750 per course:

180 people x $750 = $135,000 every 30 weeks
180 people x $100 (Cost of Evaluation) = $18,000 every 30 weeks

$153,000 every 30 weeks which brings in an annual income of over $250K. A QUARTER OF A MILLION F-ing DOLLARS PER YEAR! (And that is a low-ball guess-timate because there probably is more people and offerings throughout the county and throughout the course of the week and if you were to add up all counties within the state of Michigan; you do the math.)

My offense was for spanking an 8 year old child of my girlfriend and arguing with such girlfriend because of her daughter talking back to me and not going to bed at 1:30 AM in the morning the week after Christmas in my own home. You're going to put me into the same category as a person that F-ing stabbed his girlfriend!

I finished with my 30 weeks of "Anger Management" classes and my 9 months of probation; THANK GOD! However; this crime and its punishment, along with this "Quack" need to be investigated at a much higher
level. Granted, “Domestic Violence” should not be tolerated; however, it also needs to be reviewed by the state of Michigan legislative body of government and this organization that is owned/operated by this so
called "Doctor" who is profiting off of such crime.

The person/entity that owns the company providing the services of these "Anger Management" classes should not be the same person that does the evaluation for the need of such classes.

Needless to say; these “Anger Management” Classes really piss me off!!!
