Alex James Flood

I was falsely accused of harassment by Denver County and arrested on these charges. What basically led up to this was that I lost a job at a school bookstore, and I became upset after realizing that the reason I was "laid off" was likely discriminatory, especially after seeing all the lazy employees ...who did not get laid off. Anyway, when I asked the company to explain this to me, they began accusing me of harassment, and when I told social media of the situation, the company decided to get the police involved and charge me with "harassment". I was issued a temporary restraining order forbidding me by law from contacting the company or visiting the campus. I think they didn't want me talking to other students who might materialize as witnesses to my discrimination claim. However, at no point did I sign any document agreeing not to take civil legal action against people (for, say, illegal behavior such as discrimination during my past employment). My attorney advised me not to speak to the EEOC about my discrimination complaint while the charges against me were still pending. Alex, with my permission, spoke to my mother and said, "we're just trying to help Travis stay out of jail." Meanwhile, Alex never bothered to explain to me why speaking to the EEOC about a case would result in me going to jail. I assume he figured it might be a violation of my protection order, but when I asked him to clarify, he refused to do so. There was no good reason to believe that contacting the EEOC would be a violation of my protection order, but Alex said he went to law school, so I trusted him. As a result, my EEOC case was dismissed for failing to meet the statute of limitations (365 days, and in some cases 180). This would not have happened if I had trusted my greater instincts and declined to follow Alex's weak and overly cautious advise. If someone had a temporary protection order against you, but then they showed up in your driveway and hit you with their car for some reason, you would report this CRIME to the police, would you not? Well, discrimination is a CRIME, a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1993 or whatever, and the EEOC is like the police in regards to enforcing that law, so why would I not report this criminal act to the proper authorities? Unless, of course, my attorney, whom I trusted to be a good attorney, advised me that reporting this CRIME AGAINST ME to the proper authorities would get me thrown in jail for violating my protection order, or at the very least implied it to my mother in a conversation.
