With all the hoopla the past few days over the crazy religious fanatic who turned 9-9-9 upside down to make 6-6-6 and used it as a reason to hijack a plane with his three accomplices…the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost…LOL…I couldn’t help but think about 9-15.
September 15 marks 20 years that Frank has been incarcerated for the Francke murder. Ironically, it is also Shorty Harden’s birthday.
It also marks the 1st year anniversary of Frank’s appeal being reinstated. You know, that appeal on the resentencing argument that Frank’s post-conviction attorney ended up filing late, and eventually got saved due to new legislation allowing late-filing of appeals. Yeah, that one. Four years of a ridiculous circle jerk through the courts and we’re still waiting for a decision while it continues to hold-up Frank’s case from officially reaching the fed level.
Oh well, if anything, it’s a good example of the circle jerk to expect at the fed level as well.

Happy Birthday Shorty! It amazes me from so many different areas at how this whole thing has played out. Shortys birthday on Franks anniversary dates. No matter how many times I read it, hear it, see it, or think about it,, I still find myself just shaking my head wondering how this could all still be at this level. All this time and Frank is not even close to finishing up on the State level!!!! It’s so far from reaching the Federal level, and realizing just how many more pieces must fall perfectly in place for Frank to even have a slight chance at ever seeing the outside. It really pisses me off that this is allowed to happen in the first place and then just continue on. I guess it really hasn’t continued on at all. I believe except for Rob that everyone closed the door on it. What’s really horrific about that is, the people that we are supposed to trust with our lives ( the police ) are the ones who want it all gone and forgotten. Plus Franks family. How can anyone, no matter how busy, how stressed, how can they just seem to let it go? Give up. How was this allowed to ever be anything but front page news to this day if they don’t have the answers yet, and that means Frank released. I gotta say Rob, I admire you for not giving up. You seem to be the Only one who hasn’t, and you didn’t even know any of these people when you started this. Then to get smacked around and accused of doing things differently than they would have. Ummm how would they have done it? I have not once seen a single comment from any of Franks family, or Michael Frankes family. I don’t know how you don’t get so frustrated that you just don’t want to give it all up sometimes. Of course if they were to read this, they would say "you don’t know what we’ve done" That;s true because instead of checking their ego’s at the door and helping here, and work together, they have allowed it to totally disappear from the news, while people are beginning to die off who could really help. Back in a while to finish this upTake Care,Tammy
Of course I would have to read this, today, when I feel like I have zero patients! I guess it puts it all back into perspective. But my head still feels like it is going to explode.I don’t care about Shorty’s Birthday, other than his daughter, he seems like a waste of space to me.
Hope you get to feeling better Ex. Shylox has her reasons for wishing Shorty a happy birthday. You two should correspond. BTW, Shorty has two daughters from his relationship with Traci Byrd. The eldest is working toward becoming a dental assistant, and the youngest is still in school and living in Grants Pass with other family.
I really didn’t expect you to care about Shortys birthday. That’s why I didn’t say oh by the way Shorty, Ex says happy birthday too. None of us have to agree on everything. Rob says we should correspond , and I believe he is right. I think we are a lot alike. I knew a lot of these people back when I was a teenager. Like you, I experimented with different drugs during my teen years. I knew that was not the life I wanted, not the future I wanted. I took an entirely different path than most of these guys, and straightened my life up. You and I are one of the lucky ones who didn’t get in too deep before we realized that that lifestyle was nothing but a dead end. I don’t hang out with any of them now, I haven’t seen any of them in 30+ years, but yes Shorty will always have a special place in my heart.
Hmmmm
