Man says he was insulted by family agency, then jailed
A gay man with AIDS says a mental health agency insulted him before having him arrested. The agency says it is not aware of the alleged incident.

Earl Rizzo, 40, was arrested September 26 at his home by Cleveland police after telling a Center for Families and Children receptionist on the phone that he would “pound your face” after he says she called him a foul name. He has been in jail since his arrest.

According to Rizzo, the exchange took place after he had unsuccessfully tried to obtain services from the agency during a recent illness. A friend in the room with Rizzo during the conversation says he heard part of it on September 19.

“He put down the phone and said, ‘She just called me a dirty, diseased, cocksucking faggot’,” said the friend, who asked not to be identified because he is a client of the agency.

1. She's a dirty cocksucking whore.

I might have said that instead of threatening physical harm.

And, duh, of course the agency wouldn't know. The whore would obviously not tell her superiors. "Hey boss man, I just insulted and goaded this guy. Please reprimand or fire me."


(and, yes, it is amazing what gay men and hetero women have in common...)

2. Smells of BS to high heaven.
A mental health clinic tells a patient "a dirty, diseased, cocksucking faggot"? In who's delusional mind? Oh....that's right ...in Earl Rizzo's.

3. A previous psychologist was exceptionally foul to me once.
And if I didn't lose the data on my PDA at the time I would have sued the fucker with that recorded evidence.

And the guy was very much incompetent too. Would slapdash notes, repeat the same questions every month and write down the wrong information... I could go on. But there's nothing I could do.

Never mind the phony who thought my symptoms were phony... until, golly gee whiz, a fuckin' MRI showed I was more than telling the truth... I was in desperate need of surgery (and I think I may have been too late in having it...)

Hell, if I sued everybody who has fucked me over I'd be a billionaire. And I've had witnesses who can back me up too.

Pity I'm a nice guy. In a toilet of a society.

4. when we lost a child, the grief counselor said....
well, listening to your life makes me damn glad I can go home and hug my own children.


I sh!t you not.


If I was not so demoralized with grief, I would have slugged her right then and there.


mental health professionals are people, too, and that means they can be just as ugly as people can be.

5. True... but they're also paid a great deal of money to remain objective.
Not to let their own beliefs, opinions, and whims get in the way.

That's why they cost a week's worth of food per 50 minute visit.
