she said, ma'am, i'm sorry, there's nothing i can do. go down to your magistrate. and i said, okay, thinking that would be a solution. and this was on a saturday. monday morning, i go down to the magistrate and i felt dismissed. he said that it was a figure of speech or freedom of speech or a phrase, you know, and i just was like so where do i stand? so there's nothing i can do? he said we don't handle stuff like that, you have to go to civil court. i said okay. so i went to talk to a judge in civil court, and although he was a little bit more compassionate, he just basically told me that if he did not threaten my family or pose any bodily harm, that there's nothing the courts can do about it. so leaving the courtroom, i felt deflated. i felt so defeated.
