The latest Brinkle in Jim's life.

You seem like you are a principled man trying to play by the rules as you understand them to be in your jurisdiction. I think many entities such as Brinks get used to getting their own way by threat of intimidation. Their number one weapon is the legal system fueled by their number two weapon, enough money to fuel it to the desired end. I think any lawyer Brinks hires will be more than happy to go after you next. You are still bogged down in the particulars of right and wrong, as well as the technical merits of the issues presented. To a Brinks lawyer it is just another way to get paid. It is what they do. Remember fairness, justice, reason, singularly or in any combination, never come out of any court of law, save by pure accident. There is simply no way any feeling person can go into any courtroom in the country and not be alternately bored to tears and moved to tears seeing what happens there. The excuses made by attorneys and judges to soothe their consciences are beyond ridiculous. Most rely on their limited role and feign disinterest or surprise at the outcome. This is made easier because many have found a home for big egos, a place where they get paid to argue, and then gamble with a client's money and interests in hopes that they'll never lose. Many attorneys and judges once contaminated by all this move on to become the political lawmakers, perfectly jaded to further destroy the system. The legal system in the beginning was designed to resolve matters between two honest men. In Jim's dispute with Brinks one is missing. It is easy to understand Jim's feelings about the legal system since this is his first real brush with it seems. However once disabused by the notion that there is any justice to be had in court, I am sure he will see more wisdom in defending himself in a more vigorous and convention manner. Jim doesn't have the money to face down Brinks. Or should I say Jim has shown a reluctance to pony up the cash necessary to square off with Brinks. Now he must engage the resources he has. Brinks has achieved a pyrrhic victory here and Jim can exploit it. There are folks that love Brinks and those that hate Brinks. I don't think Brinks can do much in the various alarm associations to help their case. That is where Jim should begin to find the people, cash and resources to shame Brinks back into line. If he stay holed up in Tampa it won't be long before Brinks carpet bombs him into dust.
