Do The Right Thing...

Last night we were watching a show on tv, "What Would You Do?"  One of the men on the show when asked
why he had helped a perfect stranger, "because it was the right thing to do".

It seems so easy doesn't it?  We learned a very hard lesson because we "did the right thing".  Not everyone
finds it as easy to step up.  We're still shocked that parents will allow their young children to be
filmed all the time for no apparent reason.  What is being done with those films?  These same
children have spent a good part of their lives with this, are they immune to the craziness?  No, they aren't.


We're saddened that people seem able to go inside their homes, shut the windows and doors, close the curtains
and turn up their tv's or radios to try and drown out what goes on here.  I think that's called the "ostrich syndrome".
Is that really any way to live?  We live in such a beautiful place that we should be able to enjoy, but can't because
whenever there is a gathering, it starts.

Years ago, a group was told that "there was strength in numbers and the Moysas should not have to do this alone".
We think that people were frightened by what was happening to us...having to defend ourselves against their false claims.
What they didn't realize is that if we all worked together, it would have been over.  That would have been
easier, knowing that we weren't alone, even though we were being targeted.

It's still not over.  There are two jury trials coming up in the next couple of months.  One of these is from
the arrest over three years ago.  They exhausted  every way to delay it, going as far as taking us to the
United States Supreme Court, but now it's actually going to happen. 
Will we be happy?  Hard to say.  This has taken a huge toll on both of us not only financially, but physically and
emotionally.  It's given us insight into how people think and react...easy to grumble, but must be harder to act.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, what if...?  Would we do it again this way, probably not!  Would we have done
something? Probably.

Did we "Do The Right Thing"?

Outcome

We've just returned from court. We were denied a Restraining Order against our neighbors....wait before you get crazy! The big picture is that this is actually a good thing! I was thinking last night about what could the judge actually write that would keep them from harassing us? Judge Doi tried that, and look what happened with that. Two years of court cases for him. They found ways around the order in so many different ways.

He crazy was gearing up for an appeal, it was obvious. They get "off" on all of this stuff, just love it! That's all they have in their life. We could not possibly go through another three years of court cases, like we just did. We don't have the health, time or money for it.

The judge said "he would not want to live next to Mirella Davies", "they are inconsiderate, insensitive people, they are weird, quirky". He told them to be considerate of their neighbors. He told us to call the police.

We know that the worst part is that they will now feel "empowered" to pretty much do what they want, and they will. But they can't take drag on endless appeals like they have. We're hoping that other neighbors will also call the police on them. This is the only way to make them accountable.

Then there is always the foreclosure...which is going forward. It's only a matter of time. At this point that's what we're holding out for.

We know at first is sounds bad, but the BIG picture is actually much better.

We thank you for your thoughts and prayers. We really are fine right now.

It's Over!

Last night I sent out a quick e-mail telling people that the TRO against us had been denied. I couldn't go into any great detail (and still can't here), but would like all of you to know that it was the biggest weight lifted off our shoulders.

The judge talked about credibilty in his ruling, and this is what is so important. I think that's actually what helped me get through that l-o-n-g day on the witness stand. I knew in my heart that I was telling the truth.

As difficult as these past 8 months have been dealing with this, it's finally over and we can move forward and fully enjoy our life here. Even though we know that there is some legal stuff going on, we can handle it.

In almost 41 years of marriage, this by far has been one of, if not THE most stressful thing we have endured. I'm so glad we had each other to lean on.

In case your wondering, I am feeling better. I've spent today lying low. I think after the stress of yesterday and the days leading up to it, may have set me back a day, but I do feel better.

So now maybe I'll get back into my daily blogs.

Aloha,
