Ricky L. Pinzon (Ricky Munday)

Through my resistance my personal story becomes a universal parable.

I have become an archetype and now perceive their pathology. The system expects me to follow the path of others who, like me, lack formal legal training or carry a reputation that forces disclosure of complicated facts.

Although self-represented litigants are often underestimated: I am fully capable of learning procedure properly formatting pleadings following rules of court and meeting filing deadlines.

I am diligent, resilient, and possess an institutional experience: I am a product of this system and I've already experienced its capture.

With this knowledge I anticipate the same routine will repeat anytime I encounter one of their agents Who will immediately incorrectly presuppose I do not understand their legal reasoning and that I cannot navigate their complex proceedings they feel insulated by their hermeneutical gap that transforms language into a weapon.
