CT State Museum of Natural History and Archaeology Center, University of Connecticut

Litchfield Connecticut State Trooper James Holm & CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper 7-16-15 #discrimination
Real life bullies, racism, discrimination, America July 16 2015 #usa. This is a #snippet of recording I took with my ipad of the state trooper harassing me by the orders of his Anderson Cooper. All copyrights are mine and posted for public awareness & educational purposes. Apparently in the world of Anderson Cooper the word brother has an entirely different meaning. Horrible person and ungrateful.
Why become a public figure if you don't like the public and can't handle it?
Why does #CNN hire paranoid, depressed, abnormal reporters and anchors?
They insulted the crap out of me for over an hour and fourty five minutes for leaving gifts to #AndersonCooper. Not even a thank you. Mostly interrogation, false accusations, annoying repetitive questions, rude insinuations, scare tactics, insults by State Trooper James Holm who was off duty and a residential state trooper (residing at Anderson Cooper's home in #Litchfield, Connecticut ). Anderson Cooper was on the phone with the trooper during the incident, and at his house in Connecticut when this happened. I got the feeling they highly enjoyed humiliating others and the trooper enjoyed taking advantage of his authority.
I blame CNN and society for giving psychological imbalanced abnormal people; like Anderson Cooper, a high ranking that they do don't deserve. Anderson Cooper lacks compassion, empathy, respect and education, as well as a proper upbringing. An average truck driver would have more respect to you as a human being than the CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and state trooper James A Holm of #Litchfield County, Connecticut USA).
Stay away from creepy people like #AndersonCooper #cnn #badpublicfigures they only reflect negativity and harm onto others. Even if you were doing a kind thing. Anderson Cooper chose not to resolve the situations but rather complicate, and harm me, a human being, because he simply doesn't care and thinks he's above everything.
It shattered and saddened me to find out about this reality we live in, the truth of it. The state trooper taking a biased side with Anderson Cooper.
Brother is such a bad word?
Anderson Cooper may you go through and taste your brutality and exactly be placed in the same situation under different type of circumstances, I wish you the same if not worse. I was still in grief over my father.
My last words are : Reap what you sow.
And may God Bless #Beyoncé for reminding me to be myself, and her visual movie #Lemonade for it helped me move to the point of acceptance of what had happened to me.
Almost one year ago, and this is my first time to express it in writing. #Thankful

Wilton, Connecticut
Wilton is a town nestled in the Norwalk River Valley in southwestern Connecticut in the United States. It is located in Fairfield County. As of the 2010 census, the town population was 18,062.
Wilton was officially recognized as a parish in 1726. The original 40 families of the parish began their own Congregational church and were allowed by Norwalk to hire a minister, open schools and build roads. During the Revolutionary War, in 1777 the British used Wilton as an escape route after their successful raid on Danbury. Several homes were burned, but the town remained intact. In 1802, Wilton was granted a Town Charter by the Connecticut General Assembly and became a political entity independent from Norwalk. With a strong anti-slavery sentiment by its residents, Wilton served as a stop on the Underground Railroad.

Strange History E2: The Connecticut River Serpent
The Connecticut River Serpent - Hidden within the undulating arm of the Connecticut River is a serpent that has frightened those who’ve lived on it banks since colonists first settled there. Often it has been described as an eel or snake-like serpent over one hundred feet long. Though over the past three hundred years it has been spotted by people across three states, it still appears to remain a mystery.
