Kathi is free -free!

Kathi has been let out of jail -thank fuck
they let her out yesterday night and I saw her in the afternoon
she looked pretty chipper for someone who hadn't drank, ate, or slept in 32 hours
they build em tough in Hungary!

man what happened is fucked up
I won't go into too much detail as it's not my story, but here are some highlights

it wasn't the cops who got her it was the central park rangers. let me tell you something about the central park rangers. They may have removed just about every physical requirement to join the NYPD, a la police academy1 but you need to at least have a college education. The rangers are basically cop wannabes who are too dumb to get into college. And they hate dog walkers. They know how much dog walkers get paid -at least 3 or 4 times as much an hour as they do. (or in kathi's case 15 or 16 times as much). But they've given these jokers handcuffs and mace. So now they think they're the fucking NYPD. One day someone's gonna give them guns and there's gonna be a bloodbath in central park!

The ranger who tried to bust kathi put hands on her. kathi was walking 11 dogs at the time, she's the pack leader, and one of the dogs didn't like to see the leader getting hassled. So she bit the ranger (i'd guessed something like that had happened). Just a nip apparently.

The bitten ranger calls in back up. And when I say back up, I mean 3 cars and about 12 more rangers. 9 of whom restrain kathi.

Kathi is wearing a backpack in which she carries Rusty, a miniature dachshund (so cute!2) when his little legs get tired. He nearly gets crushed in the melee.

Kathi gets maced, FUCKING MACED, while she is being restrained by these 9 ogres

motherfuckers! fascists!

but oh dear oh dear -they messed with the wrong dog walker. You know what I said about new yorkers being the nicest people in the world, just don't cross them?
well kathi may be hungarian but she's lived in new york for 22 years
she is gonna FUCK THEM UP!
she has got a lot of powerful friends, clients and ex-clients
i'm talking lawyers (a LOT of lawyers) journalists, celebrities(!)
she's gonna take it as far as she can, sue their fucking asses, take it to the press
they will rue the day!
go go kathi!!!

1 I've seen some right sweetchucks in uniform. I wanted to take some pics, but prob not a v clever idea....

2 here is a picture of his lordship in his backpack:

Hungarian Martyr

Just spoke to the client who's acting as contact with kathi
she has yet to be arraigned
they can hold her for 72 hours like that if they want
and there's nothing we can do -there's no point even hiring a lawyer until she's arraigned
apparently the assistant DAs are all fresh out of law school and don't know what to do with a case like hers
jesus christ
i should go to the new york post with this, they eat up stories about police abuse of power -i'm sure gonna sound kathi out about it when they finally release her
meantime she is refusing to eat or drink anything while she's in there
i can understand that when it comes to the food, but if she doesn't drink anything for 72 hours she'll send herself to the emergency room
but she is hungarian and stubborn!
hopefully they will release her before then, watch this space....

Oh man now i really don't believe this shit

This is a stop press post
on top of all the shit that's been going down with me (of which i've yet to get to the heart), Kathi, my dogwalking boss, friend, hero, teacher and all round good, honest, kind, trusting person got MACED, CUFFED, ARRESTED and is right now downtown in a police cell with all kinds of scum. (anyone who has read bonfire of the vanities will know what that's like) because she was caught in central park with dogs off the leash
that's right
dogs. off. the. muthafucking. leash
in central park you are not allowed dogs off the leash after 9am
kathi, because she enjoys her job so much, loves the dogs so much, and has the dogs so well trained they are never, ever a problem, sometimes overruns
and this time the cops nailed her
i only found out because i got a call from one of her clients
the fucking cops, on top of everything else, took the dogs, these pampered upper west side pooches, to the fucking dog pound
jesus fucking christ
the client called me because he needed my help to work out which dogs belonged to who
luckily for kathi her clients are rich -and three are lawyers, one is a criminal barrister
the real damage could be to the business
we'll have to see, watch this space....
fuckin NYPD man
Macing a dogwalker????
that shit is fucked up
