I met a lot of victims, and witnesses, and bystanders, and perpetrators and suspects including but not limited to: accomplices,
activists, addicts, advocates, alcoholics, anarchists, anti-government militia members, anti-government sovereign citizens,
arsonists, bounty hunters, bums, burglars, constitutionalists, crack whores, creeps, cutters, child molesters, collaborators, con
artists, cop shop groupies, creeps, cross dressers, counterfeiters, decoys, demonstrators, deserters, destitutes, desperados,
deviants, dopers, drifters, dropouts, dumpster divers, embezzlers, escapees, ex-cons, exhibitionists, foreigners, forgers, fugitives,
gamblers, geocachers, hitchhikers, hoarders, hoaxers, hobos, hookers, impersonators, imposters, juvenile delinquents, junkies,
kidnappers, kleptomaniacs, litterers, looters, lurkers, misogynists, molesters, murderers, outlaw bikers, panhandlers, peddlers,
pedophiles, perjurers, perverts, picketers, pilferers, porch pirates, prostitutes, protestors, proselytizers, prowlers, anti-protestor
protestors, poachers, politicians, purse snatchers, rapists, recanters, recidivists, rioters, road ragers, robbers, runaways,
scammers, scofflaws, skaters, snowflakes, solicitors, scavengers, squatters, stalkers, streakers, smugglers, signature gatherers,
shoplifters, social justice warriors, swindlers, taggers, thieves, thugs, trespassers, translators, transvestites, tree cutters, tree
huggers, tweakers, undocumented immigrants, uniformed neo-Nazis, vandals, vagabonds, vagrants, voyeurs, white
supremacists, wire thieves, and parent-child shoplifting teams of all ages.

I had a lot of clients who were crazy, which is an understatement on both counts. I dealt with people suffering from all kinds of
mental breakdowns and illnesses and psychotic breaks and neurological disorders and deficits and brain damage; sometimes I
met several a month, sometimes several a week. Or several in one day, on occasion when the stars were aligned and the moon
was full.

Over the years I encountered literally hundreds and hundreds of people who were all kinds of anti-social, bi-polar, paranoid,
schizophrenic, psychotic, depressed, disturbed, defiant, distraught, disoriented, dissociative, delusional, hysterical, catatonic,
manic, suicidal and homicidal. Their altered mental states were caused by a wide variety of things: drugs, alcohol, brain injuries,
bad genes, and medications. I met people with personality disorders, developmental disorders, autism, Asperger’s, Alzheimer’s,
and plain old retarded folks. I worked with (or tried to work with) people suffering from altered perceptions of reality, people
who were hallucinating, or in excited delirium states. Some were court-certified criminally insane and some of the mentally
disturbed folks were even highly educated professionals; pilots, lawyers, authors, and doctors.
