People Don’t Recover So Spectacularly from Criminal Psychiatry (Actual Violations of the Mental Health Code): Fallout (Part VI).
by Gina Fournier
People Don’t Recover So Spectacularly from Criminal Psychiatry was published on the Mad in America website. It summarizes the first part of my story: setup and suicide swatting by my employer, police abduction from home and the week I was held illegally by the Catholics of my youth, in a criminal mental ward, at a Catholic hospital, in Livonia, Michigan. The hospital was built by the old-world nuns who ran St. Michael’s grade school and defunct Ladywood High School, which I attended. People Don’t Recover So Spectacularly from Criminal Psychiatry (Actual Violations of the Mental Health Code): Fallout (Parts I-VII) cover the retaliation and negative fallout I have been forced to endure in lieu of equal protection for criminal psychiatry, including jail time. Thank you for reading.
Somehow, after telling my story of retaliatory and criminal psychiatry by Land of Motown Community College, and honestly sharing my resulting retaliatory criminal record and probationary status in the application, I got a job as an adjunct, teaching English, at another community college, Inside the Thumb Mid Mitten Community College (another pseudonym), and moved to Bay City, Michigan.
Coincidence?
Two weeks into the semester, on September 13, 2018, another, a third, community college cop, targeted me. He followed me in his police cruiser as I walked out of the building to my car, in the parking lot, after my last class of the week, late Thursday afternoon.
On probation for the bogus retaliatory charges against me, I was required to report all police contact, so I purposely texted in detail to my probation officer what had happened.
With proceeds from the sale of the lakehouse, I had purchased a vehicle, another Ford Explorer, this one a 2002, made before 9/11, with over 200K. (The odometer works intermittently.)
Watching me, the cop waited until I walked across the parking lot and got inside my vehicle and rolled down the driver’s window. Then he pulled alongside me, so our open driver’s windows aligned. The cop from Inside the Thumb Mid Mitten Community College smiled and joked, but nevertheless gave me the silent message that I had been IDed and should not get too comfortable.
It is highly usual procedure for community college campus police officers to ask adjuncts where they are going after class in this manner.
Had cops from Land of Motown Community College contacted the cop from Inside the Thumb Mid Mitten Community College?
I obtained the Inside the Thumb Mid Mitten Community College cop’s name through FOIA. On Facebook, he self-identified as a Republican, in support of Bill Schuette for governor. He also self-revealed as a conservative white male sexist and a racist through his reposted memes of Nancy Pelosi, Mexicans and then Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser.

In early November 2018, after the administration at Inside the Thumb Mid Mitten Community College had asked me to take on another class, a section that another teacher had started but abandoned, I was pulled from classroom at Inside the Thumb Mid Mitten Community College. I was removed from the classroom on the anniversary of being removed from the classroom at Land of Motown Community College six years earlier. I was not given a clear reason for my termination.
The day before, on election day, the out-going state AG, Bill Schuette, supported in his quest by the Inside the Thumb Mid Michigan Community College cop who harassed me — and the state official who set off the retaliation against me, using the state police, in 2015 — had lost his bid to become governor.

I’m glad Bill Schuette lost his bid for governor.
Coincidentally, the candidate who did win, a democratic female, Gretchen Whitmer, after inauguration — unlike Bill Schuette’s retaliatory accusations against me delivered by the Michigan State police, in 2015 — -became the target of an actual plot, by a posse of white male militia, with weapons and intent to do harm, now under federal prosecution.

Calling women insane to demean and attempt to limit them is not a new tactic, and not one that has gone out of style. And I’m not the only recipient of the practice.
To illustrate just how sexist the state of Michigan is, from Lansing to Livonia, over budget disputes, the state Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey called Governor Gretchen Whitmer “bat shit crazy” at a Christian college while meeting with young Republicans, and got away with it, receiving very little flak.

My access to the internet moved around while I was probation, with access increased in steps over time, until it was once again removed. The yo-yo effect was employed, hoping to confuse the issue and trap me.
My access was fully restricted, once again, when I was de-classroomed at Inside the Thumb Mid Mitten Community College.
The judge had allowed full social media access when I began teaching for the Fall 2018 semester. Then, the same week I was fired at Inside the Thumb Mid Mitten Community College, she revoked my access, after I talked about Land of Motown Community College on social media. I was not barred from talking about Land of Motown Community College on social media, but the judge had allowed things to become very murky.
By the first week of November 2018, according to a report by my probation officer, a few strange things had happened simultaneously.
Inside the Thumb Mid Mitten Community College contacted the court about my probation and suggested I be jailed for alleged probation violations.
What did they know about the terms of my probation?
I had not violated probation.
Also, an internet troll, using the name Christine Heikkenen — who “liked” on Facebook The Oakland County Sherriff’s office and politician Adolf Hitler — contacted either the Osceola County prosecutor or the 49th District Court to report that I had allegedly violated my probation by responding to the troll’s Facebook Messenger message.
I was not restricted from private messaging; I text messaged with my probation officer.
Earlier, in the fall of 2017, the troll Christine Heikkenen had contacted me, through Facebook, about the threatening emails I had received from the troll Jeff Morgan, which the Michigan State Police chose ignore.
In 2019, the troll Christine Heikkenen contacted me again through a private Facebook messenger message. It was a set up that I stupidly responded to.
Troll Jeff Morgan’s name ended up in my probation report, which recommended additional jail time for the alleged probation violation, in 2019, which makes no sense.
Troll Christine Heikkenen’s name did not appear in the report.
How did an internet troll contact the Osceola County prosecutor or the 49th District Court to report an alleged probation violation? Did the troll make a phone call? Send an email? Show up in person? What name did they give? What exactly had I said on social media to anger the court and supposedly violate probation?
The judge made sure this information did not get out, and stayed off the record, and my lawyer helped.

With proceeds from the sale of the cabin, I had hired a Bay City lawyer to take over for the court appointed lawyer in Osceola County.
My second criminal lawyer was significantly late for the first court date, which made for a very poor start. After he finally arrived in Osceola County, the judge talked to my new criminal lawyer privately in her chambers and kept all discussion off the record.
No probation hearing ever took place.
At one point, while sitting in the empty corrupt room, surrounded by the portraits of former judges, only dead white men, behind private closed doors, I heard the judge making jokes and my Bay City lawyer laughing in response.
I thought, “You idiot!”
After exiting the judge’s chambers, my new criminal lawyer approached me with a court order that wholly restricted my internet access for the alleged probation violation minus testimony or the presentation of evidence. Going forward, I could not discuss the Land of Motown Community College sexist gaslight witchhunt or anything online.
Once again, I was silenced.
My Bay City lawyer said I had no real choice: sign or go back to jail.
And he informed me my delayed sentencing plea deal had been negated.
However, because my new criminal attorney and his wife were expecting a child, court proceedings for final sentencing were delayed from the beginning of November 2018 until January 25, 2019.
I spent most of the winter, alone with my animals, unemployed, in isolation and terror, unable to blow steam online, with the threat of jail time hanging before me.
Because I had asked for equal protection in response to criminal psychiatry. Because I refused to shut up about criminal psychiatry.
I was forced to wonder about possible troubled mercy via the Zilwaukee Bridge or some other means to avoid a third unwarranted lock up due to criminal psychiatry. In order to end mental torture by the state of Michigan.
But I am not and never have been suicidal.
I’m mentally tortured.
There is a difference.

On January 25, 2019, I was given a stalking misdemeanor and my case was closed, with no additional jail time imposed.
My Bay City lawyer said I was lucky not to return to jail and credited his own efforts.
I was not impressed. I had taken the time to inform him, in person, as much as he allowed, and in writing, of the back story and strange recent actions with internet trolls, but he had ignored me, despite his $1800 fee.
Patronized me, as if doing me a favor, he relayed with joviality, “Somebody is after you!”
I thought to myself sarcastically, “Why are white men still allowed to be?”
I needed this guy to create a clear court record, which he failed to do.
I had been trying to tell him my story all along, that someone was after me, but he had not listened to me. He had not adequately prepared himself for court, on my behalf. He failed to fully advocate on my behalf, as he was hired to do.
His publicly shared profile says he attended area Catholic schools.
You can take the boy out of Catholic school, but can’t take the Catholic out of the boy.
