Re: Mike Castro's Liability to recreational users

The challenge that you have is that you have concluded the wrong basis for my actions. I am not revenge filled or bitter. So that part as being the basis for your understanding me is wrong and therefore would confuse you.

Tell me, Gary what would you do if one of your friends someone you cared about was threatened by Mike Castro with a gun? or beat up to where they almost died? What would you do if this was the case. And then to top it off the person who did this is in a position to continue doing these things to other people and he is doing these violent acts near a place that you really love and enjoy going to. His violence is affecting Deep Creek Hotsprings in a very negative way and Deep Creek should be such a place of peace and tranquility.

What would you do Gary?

We tried to rent the land on which the building is standing from Fred directly. That didn't work because Mike Castro had a briefcase full of $20,000 cash. It did give Fred an excuse to increase Mike's rent. Then we bought the building that he is in. However, we have been lacking the funds to take it to court. If we evict him, he will react of course. So we will end up in court and that takes money. But we are working on it. In the meantime, what else do you do but warn the public who may be harmed by Mike Castro's malignant presence.

I do have family, friends, a boyfriend, not married, not lonely, not bipolar, not depressed (but if you truly knew the bigger picture, it is normal to sometimes feel overwhelmed) ....... However, when you realize that your life and the lives of others is at risk all for speaking out in San Bernardino County this motivates you to take action to protect yourself and others. The best protection citizens have is knowledge and public awareness.
