Harassment

Taxious · Post by **Taxious** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 4:44 pm

To start off, I'm a 19 year old college student attending a state university in Colorado. The first semester I was at school I had this retard roommate that moved out a few months later because it bugged him that I was gay. When we were first roommates, we both exchanged eachothers cell phone numbers.

A month or so after he moved out, one of his friends, whose voice I recognized, left a message on my machine saying all this crap about me being a 'mo.' (short for homo incase you don't understand) I didn't really think much of it and deleted it off my phone. Now, 6 months later, I get another voicemail from a guy that I don't recognize saying some more stupid insults.

I know there are a lot of people in Colorado that like to harass gays but I'm pretty sure it's this kid again or his friend. Anyway, my question is: If this keeps happening, would it be possible for me to take him to court with harassment charges? What evidence would I need to do this?

Both calls happened when my phone was shut off so the cell phone, and voicemail, didn't record a call back number.

I realize *69 wouldn't help in this situation, but what does *57 do?

*57 traces back the last call, and reports it as a nuisance or harrassing one.

After three *57s, the number is blocked. If the call can't be traced back by *57, you are given a number to call, where you will be given a procedure to follow if the you get the same person/call again.

I mostly use it to block those repeated fax calls.

I honestly don't know. Maybe four people have my cell number.

You could try not being gay anymore. I heard that the Senate just passed a bill allowing this, neigh, encouraging it. Chances are it will be against the law to be gay in 2007 anyhow.

Or you could just make that his life a living hell by spreading a rumor about how you moved out because your old roommate was 'too gay for you.'

Just some thoughts. That and buy a bulletproof vest if you follow my advice.

Shut the fuck up! Damn it all to hell. We had a solid week of those damned fax calls, too.

I'm so using this on the stupid newspaper that keeps soliciting me.

Just delete it and ignore it. If he's that gutless that he only can leave messages on voicemail then he's not worth giving more attention to than you'd give a telemarketer.
