Rewrites
#1
I find myself in a deeply distressing situation where I have become a victim of racist defamation/libel. The management of my former supportive housing unit concocted a false hate crime in an effort to force me out. It turns out, they accused ME of what THEY were doing. They likely assumed I would be unable to defend myself if made homeless again. They were wrong. With such strength in resolve, I refuse to succumb to racist intimidation. I had installed security cameras that captured the entire incident, thereby proving my innocence.
Despite possessing this clearly damning evidence (I posted the footage to YouTube within minutes and sent links via Email), the management has refused to admit responsibility for their actions and so the cover-up began. They spread these false allegations and have severely tarnished my reputation, now making it impossible for me to find housing ever again in Boston. I'm stranded within the homeless shelter system, in which they largely control.
I'm seeking justice and plan to take legal action to reverse the destruction they've wrought on my life. The management of my former address had threatened my life several times, making it crucial for me to stay somewhere out of their reach. They've put a target on my back that i cannot remove myself.
It's critical that I fight back to clear my name, and through legal action, I not only will restore my reputation but also prevent this racist injustice from happening to other innocent people in the future.
I first tried to get an apology letter from them to present to housing authorities and future landlords, but they refused. My videos are substantial evidence of their repeated lies. In my lawsuit, I am seeking financial compensation as a means to correct these wrongs.
The management accuse me of using racial slurs and threatening violence. My 24hr time stamped security camera footage clearly shows that I did not engage in any such behavior. I had issues with the management because they ignored my requests for help dealing with racist tenants in the past, I have evidence of the actual racist incidents that took place, and now it's turned into retaliation against me, the one speaking up. I never dreamt that the management itself would resort to racist tactics but here we are.
Despite my attempts to present this evidence to Administrators, they have retaliated and tried to suppress it. I have received court notices threatening eviction and criminal charges. They continue to portray me as the perpetrator, and treat me as enemy #1.
These false allegations have severely hampered my ability to secure housing in Boston as I qualify only for subsidized units. The management has informed all Boston housing authorities of their allegations against me, resulting in my being denied housing.
Version .2
I'm a 49yo male with autism spectrum disorder and suffering from severe PTSD. I was unjustly accused by Pine Street Inn of committing a hate crime, based on false allegations of racist remarks. However, my time-stamped security camera footage proves none of that happened. As a result of this orchestrated lie, I lost my housing and all my belongings due to a massive cover-up, and now i have a large target on my back, having already received death threats from one PSI employee, Dana Hill, who was fired immediately afterwards.
Pine Street Inn is an organization that should be providing shelter to those in need but instead has been involved in discriminatory practices leading to the displacement of innocent individuals like myself. This incident isn't just about me; it's about the countless others who may have been victims of similar injustices but lacked the means to prove their innocence.
In Boston alone, there are over 6,000 homeless individuals (Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program), many relying on organizations like Pine Street Inn for support. It's crucial that these organizations maintain transparency and fairness in their operations.
What company in their right mind would continue to support PSI after this racism scandal goes fully public?
