KD of K-9: Mr. Generous, you were on a mission to write a book and see it published and eventually see the fruits of your labor but instead of seeing your fruits right away, you opted to give the money made from your book to my son during my families difficult time, all I can say is a true spirit of God, as I couldn’t have ever imagine anyone being that kind to my family for my son, and I honor you for that as I know that you will prosper in all you do or attempt to do, I pray for your bloodline that they may prosper as you started with the teaching of a true giving spirit…thank you always…

 

My people I know this is long but I am so excited right know my hands wont leave the, keyboard because I don’t want to forget anyone, so if I have please charge it to my head and not my heart…

 

I need to tell you this test gave me a testimony, it allowed me to see people for whom they really were, it allowed me to separate all I thought were my friends for those, that if I never needed you before I need you know friends, and the ones that are listed above are the ones who soared in my life…This circumstance of events, unfortunately showed that there are still evil people in this world who’s mission is to try and kick you when your already down (oh trust I’ve been through) but I thank God for keeping me, as I had to realize I wasn’t fighting against flesh, I was fighting spirits of insecurity and more, and it was tough because when your going through and someone intentionally pushes your buttons your flesh wants to slap the heaven out of them but the God in you and good friends tells you to pray for that person as they really know not who they mess with, so I came to the conclusion that I forgive them, as they don’t know any better and I couldn’t allow them to cloud my vision of what I am really here to do (which is take care of my family).

 Advice moving forward stay away from the clusters of people that want to be you (and not the best them they can be) that want to shine but don’t want to polish(put in the work), that maliciously and intentionally try to hurt you to benefit themselves, allow yourselves to grow daily however don’t do it while hurting others, there’s nothing wrong with pushing the envelope but be a life giver not a taker…continue to educate self and not just take the words of others in all you do…education is truly key

I can’t speak for anyone else but Candiland and my experience in this game and as my great friend Chuwee say’s I approve this message…thanks and I love all whom supported my family, and I love the devils who attacked and tried to distract me during this season cause you need it and cause I can…

PLS FWD:  On Behalf of Candiland, President of Arch Angels MC of Atlanta, GA, she is respectully in need of our assistance, no amount is too small, but whatever amount is definitely appreciated

I wanted to ask you all to keep my family in your prayers as we are really going through right now...I have a 21yr old son who was suppose to be getting ready for school, however, he was arrested by the Chattanooga Tenn Police Dept because he fit the description of someone whom had just commented an attempted murder(home invasion)...this was August 5th...the police(two Caucasian and one African Amer) questioned my son and his friends around 12:30 am that night with the victim of the crime and the victim stated that these weren't the guys at that time the police and the victim left...the two Caucasian officers returned 20min later with two more Caucasian officers and told the boys they needed to ask them more questions...as the boys answered the question with a NO to everything the officers asked the officers got upset and said that they "were gonna arrest yall niggas for something"...and that they did...they held the boys from 12am midnight til 8am the next morning outside on the curb before taking them to jail and placing them under arrest for 7 felonies(attempted murder, agg assault, agg robbery, conspiracy, possession of a firearm, reckless endangerment)...all trumped up charges in which the person that really committed the crime did...in jail with no bond...I had to wait til court to see what would happen with my son...We went to court on August 11th and the victim stated again these were not the boys...so I am at a relief because I am thinking they have to let my son go now...and he will be on his way to school...however the judge said that even though the state and its witness has no evidence and a very messy case... he will bound over to the grand jury for an indictment due to the horrific nature of the crime...Mind you the crime that they have no clue about as they didn't do it...so now they have set bail at 260,000 something they know we can't make, and still refuse to let my son go...I am at a lost, our patience are being tried,,,my son don't understand whats happening as he has never been to juvenile much less jail for anything criminal...has no criminal history at all...it hurts everyday I have to wake up and my son is being falsely accused of something he didn't do and being made to sit in jail on 24hr lock down like he is a harden criminal...
 
I need your prayers, suggestions, and whatever you can offer as I know I can't do this alone...I have prayed...and I am waiting...that is all I can do at this point and I just ask you to help me with this...as it is taking toll on my son, me and my family...My family found the African American sheriff who was called to the scene the night of the arrest an she also states that the victims stated that my son and the other two boys had nothing to do with this crime, she states she will testify and not lie for the other officers, however she would have to be subpoenaed to testify.
 
They have since dropped the attempted murder, bringing his bond to 190k, I talked to lawyers and everyone wants 15k to 25k. something I doning social work clearly don't have laying around. I at one point got council from where I live here in Atlanta, paid him 1500.00 only to find out he couldn't represent my son unless he requested "Pro ha vicci" and sat on council which would have me paying two lawyers instead of one...I had to release him and request a refund...now I am back at square one with searching for an attorney who is reasonable and now who lives in Chattanooga Tennessee.
 
I beg of you to help me in anyway possible. I look forward to anything anyone can do...nothing is to small....I thank you in advance for whatever God places on your heart.
 
Respectfully
Candiland
