  • Opinion: Email to Baruch College about a student harassing me (3/11/2022).

    Greetings Baruch College,

    This was a very quick one. 

    I was walking up the stairs in the vertical building. 

    A student walked in front of me, so I slowed down to give him the right of way. He sort of faked like he was going one way and then went another way. Then he started to waive his cell phone in my face. 

    This happened on the six floor by the steps, not the escalator side. 

    I did nothing as usual. I didn’t say a word, I just kept walking. I have no idea who the student/person is. 

    Also, I don’t understand why students would be taking pictures or video recording other students, isn’t that against the rules? I don’t understand what someone might do with that video?

    Thank you for the offer to speak with Baruch College security about these issues. I’m going to respectfully say no thank you. 

    I don’t want to report any instances of students harassing me unless they are caught on Baruch College security cameras. I would prefer to avoid getting into she said/he said scenarios that would happen during the pre-technology era decades ago. 

    Regardless of what anyone does to me, I never say a word so I have nothing to defend. I don’t care if a student put her/his hands on me. I would just run away and then email you or the NYPD.

    There is nothing anyone at CUNY can do to me to get me to react in a negative fashion under any circumstances. 

    First of all, it’s the way I am. Second of all, CUNY is too valuable to me. 

    On a positive note, everything at school is going amazing. I love it here even with some students that I have no idea who they are harassing me for no reason. 

    Hopefully one day there will be more security cameras in the hallways although I know that there are a lot of people that have to connect to make a decision such as that at Baruch College / CUNY. 

    I’m about to do an informative speech in COM 1010. That is one of my favorite classes. 

    I’m going to do my speech about CUNY / CUNY grad schools so I can start to research where I want to go for graduate school. I’m sticking with CUNY. I love being part of the CUNY family. Nothing is perfect, overall CUNY is a stellar offering. 

    The only thing that would make me want to leave CUNY is the million to one long shot that my outside ventures start earning hundreds of thousands of dollars. This month I earned about $3 so I’m not quite there yet. 

    I owe a lot to CUNY, so I don’t want to give the impression that I’m always complaining. I started to attend office hours with my professors and it’s giving me a huge advantage in my classes. Office hours are such a valuable resource, I can’t believe I’m just learning it now. 

    Last thing, I wasn’t even filing my Federal or New York State taxes before attending CUNY. Now I file every year in January. That is one of dozens or hundreds of benefits I enjoy on a daily basis thanks to CUNY. 

    I’m going to continue to stay on top of my studies and one day soon I’ll get a roof back over my head. There is a lot of staff members at CUNY that helped me along the way that I can’t wait to go back to and say I’m not homeless anymore one day, including you. 

    Thank you again and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Respectful email to my storage company (3/9/2022).

    Greetings Storage Company, 

    First and foremost, I am as happy as humanly possible with the value. I love my storage room. Your staff at the location and on the phone are as good as it gets. 

    Everyone at the location treats the customers like gold. The customer service on the phone is equally as stellar. 

    I tell everyone I know that you are hands down the number one storage company in Manhattan. 

    I saw that there is an issue with the door leading to my storage room. It’s no big deal at all. I just wanted to touch base and see if there is any estimate as to when the door will be functioning again. 

    I used to manage buildings in the city, so I have an idea about property management and repairs. I understand things break and repairs don’t happen overnight. 

    Please advise with any feedback you deem appropriate. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Email to my bank about NYC law enforcement debit card scam. March 8, 2022.

    Greetings Bank,

    People I know pay NYC law enforcement to harass me every day. I just had a hearing set up by the NYC Comptroller’s Office to sue the NYPD so we’ll see how that goes. The hearing and upcoming lawsuit hasn’t stopped NYC law enforcement from harassing me every day. 

    Before I get into it, I just wanted to say I’m a very happy customer and I always treat all your staff with the utmost respect at all times in person and on the phone. ‘

    I don’t care if one of your staff poured a can of paint over my head I would just walk out and go take a shower. I wouldn’t argue with them. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. I don’t do anything illegal. 

    NYC law enforcement is trying to get me kicked out of every place I go. 

    NYC law enforcement was just running a scam on me that I wanted to ask you about. If you don’t know the answer I understand, it’s no big deal. 

    I was just trying to pay a company on their website. NYC law enforcement is desperately trying to get me banned from entering this particular business. The company’s website kept rejecting my debit card when I tried to pay them. 

    NYC law enforcement set it up so that my card was blocked by this company because NYC law enforcement wanted me to call the company. 

    How did NYC law enforcement block my debit card from working on the company’s website when the website was functional for anyone else trying to use it? How did NYC law enforcement block only my debit card? 

    For example, lets say I go to a supermarket. I swipe my debit card. The supermarkets credit card system blocks my card from paying. It works for everyone else. How can that be done? The supermarket scenario is just a hypothetical situation. I just wanted to be clear about what I’m asking. The other scenario happened today.

    I started sending you a message about NYC law enforcement blocking my card from paying this one company. My debit card was working perfectly everywhere else besides this one company.

    While I was sending a message to you through the bank’s website, I also called the company. 

    NYC law enforcement had a nice scam waiting for me when I called. Long story short I had to call back a second time and the company was able to charge my card. 

    The reason NYC law enforcement wanted my debit card blocked from paying that company is that NYC law enforcement wanted me to call the company. 

    NYC law enforcement has thousands of hours of audio of me complaining about NYC law enforcement on various government phone numbers. NYC law enforcement edits the audio of me complaining about NYC law enforcement and reporting NYC law enforcement and says the words were directed towards people at private companies, the people at the college I attend, things like that. 

    My question is this, how does NYC law enforcement block a charge coming from my debit card at one company when my debit card is working everywhere else? Meaning if I go to use a website, and my debit card is rejected, how is NYC law enforcement doing that? 

    I understand if you don’t want to tell me because your bank might be tight with NYC law enforcement and wants to stay on good terms with NYC law enforcement. I highly suspect, if you or anyone helps me at all NYC law enforcement will not be happy. 

    Please provide any information you can. If you don’t want to get involved, I understand. I love your bank and I am as happy as can be with the service and value. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: New scam that NYC law enforcement ran on me right now. March 8, 2022.

    Here we go again.

    I just tried to pay my bill on a company’s website.  

    The website wouldn’t take my debit card. 

    I called up and asked for support. 

    This is where the scam comes in. 

    I was talking with the first customer service person about to give my card information. In the middle of the call the person said, I can’t hear you and hung up. 

    I suspect the reason the person hung up was because NYC law enforcement told her to hang up so they can lie and say I was rude.

    People I know pay NYC law enforcement to harass me every day. They tried to set me up and lock me up thousands of times. It didn’t work so now NYC law enforcement (New York FBI and NYPD) run around and tell people to lie and say Mark Pine is rude and smells. That’s what billions of dollars a year to NYC law enforcement buys us. Ideas such as that one.

    I called back and the next person took my card, and the bill was paid. 

    NYC law enforcement will take audio they have of me complaining about NYC law enforcement and edit it into new conversations with people at that company. 

    NYC law enforcement will lie and say the audio of me complaining about NYC law enforcement was directed at people at that company. 

    These are the types of scams that NYC law enforcement runs on me all day long. 

    I don’t take it personal when regular people try and sabotage me on behalf of NYC law enforcement. I understand most people don’t want to deal with the drama.

    I will continue to treat everyone at that company with the utmost respect at all times.

    Thank you.

  • Opinion: Email to one of my Baruch College professors about no homework. March 5, 2022.

    Greetings Professor, 

    I’m enjoying analyzing the material for the class. 

    I’m reading the information you handed out during the last class. 

    I’m also studying X, so I know the story inside and out. 

    I wanted to contact you to make sure I didn’t miss any assignments or homework. 

    I assume we’ll have homework about the poems, etc. 

    I just wanted to reach out because I wanted to double-check that there hasn’t been any homework or assignments since the beginning of class. I was looking through my notes and I didn’t see anything so far. 

    I’m not complaining, I just want to make sure I’m up to date with all my schoolwork. 

    Please advise, if possible, if not I’ll ask you after class this week. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Email I’m thinking about sending to the NYC Comptroller’s Office. February 27, 2022.

    Disclaimers: I’m not a lawyer. Use this information at your own risk. I have no clue about the law. This is my opinion. If you have an emergency call 911.

    Greetings NYC Comptroller’s Office, 

    Thank you very much for arranging the hearing for me in regards to my complaint about the NYPD. The hearing is set for this coming Monday. 

    Claim Number: 2021PI035531

    I just want to go on the record again and say that regardless of how anyone treats me I always treat everyone at the NYC Comptroller’s Office and everyone connected with the NYC Comptroller’s Office such as the attorneys at the video hearing with the utmost respect at all times. 

    I don’t care what happens I will always keep my cool. 

    I don’t have a criminal record. I don’t do anything illegal. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t date. 

    All I do is attend Baruch College and try to figure out how to earn money in my spare time. 

    Currently, my GPA at Baruch College is 3.875. In my opinion, it would be a 4.0 but NYC law enforcement sabotaged me at Baruch College as they do everywhere else.

    Anytime I visit One Centre Street in Manhattan 12th Floor to drop off a Notice of Claim I treat everyone at the building from the entrance (security guards) to the 12th Floor with the utmost respect at all times. 

    I have several New York court proceedings and lawsuits in various stages and I’m happy with the way things are moving forward.  

    1. I was falsely arrested in Nassau County and charged with a misdemeanor. I got the charge knocked down to a violation. I could have tried to get it knocked down all the way but New York law enforcement was playing so dirty that I wanted to get out of there while I still could. For example, the Nassau County Police drugged me when they had me in custody. 
    2. I’m in the process of suing The City University of New York in the New York Court of Claims. I’m very happy with the way that lawsuit is moving along. In my opinion, I exposed NYC law enforcement very badly in that lawsuit and they aren’t happy about it. NYC law enforcement has billions of dollars and they are getting exposed in court by one person with no money that they made homeless by sabotaging my web marketing clients. I’m confident I’m going to beat them for a third time with this next lawsuit in the New York County Supreme Court. Regardless if I win or not I’m going to win. 
    3. I plan on bringing in the paperwork to sue HRA in the next few weeks. NYC law enforcement is sabotaging me at HRA too. 

    NYC law enforcement has audio of me complaining about them that they like to use out of context. For example, when NYC law enforcement and their plainclothes team are attacking me and I’m on my way to the emergency room of the hospital for the 150th time, I might call the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and complain. 

    For example, I might leave a message for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office and say that I don’t think there is any crime that the NYPD could commit that would make the Manhattan District Attorney report them unless it was that rare circumstance and a situation couldn’t be covered up. Unfortunately, I don’t fall into that category. 

    If the NYPD took that audio from the message complaining about the Manhattan District Attorney covering up that people I know are paying the NYPD to harass and sabotage me and said the audio was taken from my hearing to sue the NYPD that would be a different story. Saying that the Manhattan District Attorney is covering up crime for the NYPD would be totally inappropriate at the hearing in my opinion. 

    Also, I’ve reported that the NYPD pays young women to have sex with people and say they were attacked. In my opinion, that would be totally inappropriate to bring up at my hearing and there is no need to. 

    I just want to get to the next level so I can officially file and lawsuit against the NYPD. I don’t have anything to prove to the people at the law firm that represents NYC.

    I’m going on the record right now that I’ve had these types of hearings before that were set up by the NYC Comptroller’s Office and when I received the transcript from the hearing to sign off on what was said there were things added and left out and changes were made. I suspect NYC law enforcement sabotaged me with the transcript from past 50H hearings. 

    Again, I can care less and I’m going to make the best of it. I understand life isn’t perfect and everyone is doing their best under the circumstances. 

    I’m not looking to change the world in my hearing to sue the NYPD. I’m going to respectfully answer the questions I’m asked and that’s it.

    I don’t care if someone from the hearing takes my laptop, snaps it in half, pours a can of paint over my head, and punches me in the face. I’m not going to lose my cool. This hearing is one step in a long process. 

    I have to be totally honest here. The only two government employees/agencies that have ever upheld the law in my opinion in regards to me are the NYC Comptroller’s Office and the judge from my Nassau County criminal case. 

    That is why I took a bench trial in that case instead of a jury trial. I will continue to take that strategy anytime it’s an option.

    I don’t trust that juries won’t be intimidated by NYC law enforcement and the district attorneys. 

    Why would anyone side with me over NYC law enforcement? 

    I trust judges. I don’t trust juries. 

    A judge follows the law. 

    A jury has no clue what the law is and most of them want to gain favor with the police and district attorney. 

    The US Attorney Southern District blocked my phone number. The New York FBI blocked my number. The NYPD and NYPD Internal Affairs blocked my number. The list goes on. 

    Many other NYC government agencies won’t help me at all. For example, the few members of the NYC City Council that I’ve contacted about the NYPD won’t help me at all. 

    That is why I’m especially appreciative and thankful that the NYC Comptroller’s Office actually upholds the law. 

    I’m a pro se litigant, not an attorney and my plan is to sue the NYPD, HRA, and others. I’m in the process of researching how to sue the Manhattan District Attorney too. I’m not sure if I have to file a notice of claim to sue the Manhattan District Attorney, I’ll figure it out in the next few weeks. 

    NYC law enforcement has had young women shove their phones in my face and act like they are under attack. 

    NYC law enforcement has had girls/women try to hook up with me to set me up. 

    NYC law enforcement has tried to give me stolen credit cards. 

    NYC law enforcement has tried to give me stolen MetroCards. 

    At this point, NYC law enforcement knows that I don’t do anything illegal. 

    The only moves that NYC law enforcement has left with me are to attack me, rob me, and lie and say that Mark Pine is rude. 

    NYC law enforcement has thousands of hours of audio and video of me complaining about them to various government agencies. Some of that audio would be inappropriate under certain circumstances. For example, in a courtroom, and in a classroom. 

    To illustrate, I wouldn’t say in a courtroom or a classroom that NYC law enforcement is paying teenage girls to have sex with people and say they were attacked. It’s not appropriate. 

    I will say that on a US Attorney’s voicemail or district attorney’s voicemail just so they know it’s going on just in case they don’t. Also, I’ll say it to an FBI agent to try and get help even though they never help me. 

    I have been living in the street homeless for the last five years. 

    I shower every day. 

    I have a storage to keep my things. 

    I wash my clothes in Astoria, Queens every week. 

    I’m a full-time student at Baruch College. 

    I won’t go to a homeless shelter for a billion dollars. 

    People don’t hear about homeless people like me too often. 

    There is nothing wrong with me. I just have bad credit and no money. That’s it. 

    The main purpose of this email is that NYC law enforcement is trying to make up any lie to sabotage me. 

    NYC law enforcement does not want me utilizing the services of the NYC Comptroller’s Office. 

    NYC law enforcement is trying to get me banned from the NYC Comptroller’s Office, the New York Courts, Baruch College, and everywhere else for that matter. 

    I have offered to turn in my bank and phone records to many government agencies so they can match my locations to security cameras throughout New York City and watch NYC law enforcement and their plainclothes team harass me every day. So far no one will help besides the NYC Comptroller’s Office and the New York Courts. 

    I just want to go on the record and say I’m very disappointed with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. In my humble opinion, they will send someone to jail for ten years like it’s nothing. 

    On the flip side, many individuals at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office know that I’m claiming NYC law enforcement is being paid to harass me every day and they won’t help me at all. 

    One more time. 

    I am going to continue to treat everyone at the hearing and your building One Centre Street with the utmost respect at all times. I am very appreciative of the assistance of the NYC Comptroller’s Office.

    Thank you and have a great day. 

    Mark Pine

  • Opinion: Email to the New York State Office of Higher Education about the NYPD trying to sabotage me at Baruch College.

    Disclaimers: If you have an emergency call 911. I’m not a lawyer. Use this information at your own risk. Verify everything yourself. This is my opinion.

    Greetings Deputy Commissioner and Office of the Deputy Commissioner,

    Office of Higher Education: NYSED

    I always treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. That includes staff, professors, security guards, maintenance crew, and students. 

    Treating people respectfully is more important than anything. I never participate in controversial conversations at Baruch College out of respect for people’s feelings. 

    I love Baruch College, LaGuardia Community College, and The City University of New York. 

    My goal is to earn a C or D average. Grades are not my priority. I’m at CUNY to learn.

    I don’t have a criminal record. 

    I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t do anything illegal. 

    I never mention a word about people I know paying law enforcement in New York City to harass me to anyone at Baruch College or CUNY. 

    Every once in a while I might mention something to the Baruch College Dean via email. That is very rare though. 

    NYC law enforcement has a plainclothes lie and scam team that they use to do some of their dirty work. This can be proven with access to security cameras in New York City. 

    NYC law enforcement has dozens of Baruch College students that are members of their plainclothes lie and scam team. 

    I have offered to share my phone and bank records with NYPD Internal affairs, the Civilian Complaint Review Board, the Department of Investigations, the US Attorney Southern District, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, and many others. 

    The hope is that a government agency will match my locations to security cameras using my phone and bank records. Then security video can be recovered of NYC law enforcement’s plainclothes lie and scam team harassing me every day at Baruch College and outside of Baruch College. 

    NYC law enforcement has students at Baruch College harass me every day. For example, NYC law enforcement has female and male students block me from walking, cut me off, crash into me, and shove their phones in my face while acting like they are fighting for their lives and under attack. 

    NYC law enforcement has students and staff at Baruch College harassing me in the subway, in the street, at school, and in my classes. 

    For example, people in plain clothes will sneak up on me every day before school and blow vape smoke in my face. 

    Then during class at Baruch College between one and three people either directly in front of me or beside me will swing their legs around or bounce up and down in their chairs for the majority of the class. 

    Surprisingly, not one student in my classes has ever mentioned a word about it. Of course, I never said anything. If anyone thinks they can concentrate on work with that abuse, I’ll sit next to you in a chair and show you what they do while you try and be productive. 

    In my view, there is no way that NYC law enforcement could be placing students that they are connected with in my classes without the help of someone at Baruch College CUNY. 

    Another issue I have with Baruch College is the lack of security cameras inside the buildings. 

    Baruch College claims to care so much about sexual harassment and students’ safety yet if there is an altercation between students it will most likely be one student’s word against another as if we are living in the early to mid-1900s in the pre-technology era when it was much easier for law enforcement to set people up. 

    I’d be in jail right now in those days. For example, if 15 women who work for NYC law enforcement take the video of them shoving their phones in my face and say Mark Pine was following me; technology might save me. 

    To illustrate, I can show my phone records when I called every US Attorney in the United States, I called every FBI field office in the United States, I called the US Attorney Southern District’s Office hundreds of times until they blocked my phone number, I called the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office after hours and left thousands of messages, etc. Would someone that is stalking women do that and give his exact location, date of birth, etc., over and over? 

    I have been to the emergency room of New York City hospitals over one hundred times after being attacked by New York City law enforcement’s plainclothes lie and scam team. 

    NYC law enforcement’s lie and scam team has already drugged me for the first time today. 

    In total, NYC law enforcement and their lie and scam team have drugged me hundreds of times almost every day since I started at CUNY two years ago. 

    NYC law enforcement used to be able to discredit me and say it’s a conspiracy theory until my Nassau County Criminal Case (Case No: 2020CR364503). 

    The case was criminal alright. The Nassau County District Attorney’s Office and NCPD both knew I was innocent and they could care less. The only witnesses in the case were some of the civilians that work at Nassau County Police Headquarters. 

    Even though they are government employees, I’m not going to say exactly what I uncovered during the pre-trial phase of my Nassau County misdemeanor criminal case. 

    I uncovered something about the Nassau County Police before my trial that in my non-attorney opinion was a huge corruption and theft. Ironically, a few members of Nassau County Police Internal Affairs are part of it. I say “are” instead of “were” because it’s ongoing. 

    Needless to say, the Nassau County District Attorney offered me a violation because it was about to be a huge embarrassment documented for eternity in the case law or court record. 

    In my opinion, that arrest and the documentation that exists turned the fantasy into a reality. It was as sloppy and weak a case as can be in the history of false arrests. 

    NYC law enforcement’s lie and scam team broke my shoulder about a year ago when one of them was chasing me on West 57 St in Manhattan.

    This is the scam that New York City law enforcement is trying to use right now to get me kicked out of Baruch College (2/22/2022).

    The irony of this situation is that I’ve already detailed all the lies and scams that NYC law enforcement is using to try and get me kicked out of Baruch College. Unfortunately, NYC law enforcement has repackaged it and they are coming at me strong this weekend and this week. 

    I don’t care about grades although I do currently have a 3.8 GPA after about 2 years full-time at The City University of New York. 

    This Saturday or sooner I’m about to receive $4,000 in my bank account for student loans. 

    How many street homeless people on welfare on the planet are going to see that amount of money legally in their bank account this week? If I had to guess, not even a fraction of one percent.

    NYC law enforcement has been harassing me non-stop since the first day I was at The City University of New York. 

    The thought that they would try and say that Mark Pine had some type of outburst in class or at Baruch College when I’m doing as well as I am in addition to receiving a large amount of money this week makes me wonder how many innocent people NYC law enforcement has set up on criminal charges and or sabotaged. 

    Not everyone can take the amount of abuse I take on a daily basis without reacting. For example, NYC law enforcement purposely has men that are smaller than me spit in my face, shove their phones in my face, crash into me and do anything they can to try and pick fights with me. I’m smart enough to know that if I even look the wrong way in one of their directions that I will be arrested. 

    NYC law enforcement knows me inside and out better than anyone on this earth. 

    I also know NYC law enforcement better than about 90 percent of civilians or more. The number might be 99.9 percent. 

    This is the scam that NYC law enforcement is using on me right now and this week to try and get me kicked out of Baruch College: 

    I normally sleep in chairs on the subway platforms in Manhattan or on seats on the subway. There is a huge homeless crackdown going on now to get homeless people out of the New York City subway system. 

    NYC law enforcement is going to try and say the pressure of the homeless subway crackdown led to some type of outburst in one of my Baruch College classes. 

    I’m going on the record right now, I can care less. I’ve been homeless for five years. Wherever I’m allowed to sleep, I’ll sleep. I’m staying in New York City. 

    If anything, I’m very comfortable right now. Maybe this will motivate me to work harder to get into an apartment. I wouldn’t go back to another homeless shelter if the government offered me a billion dollars per minute upfront.

    I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. NYC law enforcement drugs me all the time so I have to include that. 

    In my opinion, I’m getting very close to getting a roof back over my head. A lot of people are starting to find out that Mark Pine is being viciously harassed by the NYPD and other NYC law enforcement. 

    Plus that I’m homeless living in the street. Then they hear me talking about it on social media and I’m sharp as a tack and a student at Baruch College. It doesn’t add up. 

    Plus in my opinion, New York City is going to rebound in the coming months and years in regards to the number of people. It’s only a matter of the right individual or organization finding out about me and this nightmare might not be over but I’ll be off the street. 

    NYC law enforcement is being paid by people I can’t mention here to sabotage and discredit me. If I mention the people I know who pay the NYPD to harass me, I will be sued for defamation. 

    In addition to the Nassau County arrest, I have been written at least $3,000 or more worth of tickets while being homeless from New York City. I paid them all. They were never expecting that. 

    1. I would like to know how New York City law enforcement is placing students in my classes to harass me. 
    2. I would like access to view the security camera footage of students harassing me inside Baruch College and in front of the buildings. 
    3. I would like more security cameras inside the Baruch College buildings and stairwells to protect all the students and future students. 

    I’m not mentioning a word of this to anyone at Baruch College. 

    I’m only talking about school at Baruch College. 

    I’m treating everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. 

    I keep to myself in regards to students at Baruch College unless it’s a mandatory in-class group. 

    Please help. 

    Thank you and have a great day. 

    Mark Pine

  • Opinion: NYC law enforcement has people blowing vape smoke in my face almost every day.

    Here is the situation. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t do anything illegal. I’m 45 and I don’t have a criminal record at all. 

    People I know pay NYC law enforcement to harass me every day. 

    One of the things NYC law enforcement does to harass me is drug me. NYC law enforcement has members of their plain clothes lie and scam team sneak up on me and blow vape smoke in my face. They have done it hundreds of times. 

    Disclaimers: I’m not a doctor. If you have an emergency call 911. Use this information at your own risk. This is my opinion.

    After NYC law enforcement has their lie and scam team blow vape smoke in my face I go to various emergency rooms in New York City. 

    Every time I’ve gone to any emergency room and said someone blew vape smoke in my face they test my blood or urine to see what’s going on. This has been going on for years. 

    Every time the hospital says the blood and urine is 100% clean. No drugs or alcohol. 

    Tonight February 18, 2022, a hospital gave me back the drug test and said it tested positive. I asked if I could speak with a doctor and see what was going on and they said no and to get out immediately. The people at the hospital started to be very rude for no reason and they started insulting me.

    I immediately pressed record on my phone recorder just in case they had plans to lie and say I was rude to get me banned from the hospital.

    Now that I have the audio backed up in Google Vault. I can show that the hospital staff was insulting me and I continued to treat them with the utmost respect at all times. 

    Once I realized I couldn’t see a doctor and the people who I was asking for help weren’t helping me, I just left. The hospital is a very good hospital. I don’t care that a few of the staff insulted me and tried to pick a fight with me. I just continue to act respectfully because I’m going back to the hospital again in the future. 

    Now I’m at a different hospital. Again I’m not giving names because I don’t want to get sued for defamation. 

    I’m going to tell the NYC hospital I’m at now that someone blew vape smoke in my face when they are checking me in. I’m also going to respectfully and politely ask for a drug test. I don’t care if its blood, urine, etc. 

    If they say no at that point I’m going to show them the other test from the other hospital with a positive. I’ll say that I never do drugs but I have had people that I don’t know blow vape smoke in my face and this is the first time I’ve had a positive after many times of being tested and I want to know what’s going on. 

    Regardless if this hospital helps me or not I’m going to treat everyone here with the utmost respect the same way I treated everyone at the other hospital with the utmost respect. 

  • Opinion: Question to Baruch College about unsupervised student groups and pairs outside of the classroom. February 12, 2022.

    Greetings Baruch College,

    You have been more than generous with me in regards to answering my questions. I didn’t think that there was anything we didn’t cover but there is one more thing and you’re the only one that will know the official answer. 

    If you have time for me great, if not I’ll make the best of the situation like I always do and treat everyone with the utmost respect like always. 

    Of course, it’s been well established that getting into groups and pairs with students in classes is mandatory. That’s one hundred percent understood and respected. 

    The new thing that I just learned about is unsupervised student interaction outside of the classroom in person and via the phone. 

    My question for you if possible is can unsupervised student interaction outside of the classroom be mandatory and the sharing of personal information, for example, phone numbers, Zoom info, etc.?

    I was just getting comfortable with student interaction in supervised classrooms, now I’m learning about unsupervised student pairs and the sharing of a lot of personal information outside of class. 

    As you know because you have been more than generous with me in regards to your time, I’m street homeless. 

    I can’t imagine parents would want their children sharing personal information and meeting outside of class with street homeless people.

    Please advise if possible. 

    Thank you again and have a great day.

  • Opinion: Email to one of my Baruch College professors about student groups and pairs. February 12, 2022.

    Greetings Professor, 

    First and foremost I treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. That is more important than anything. 

    Second and foremost, I’ll gladly, happily, and respectfully do anything that you assign to the class. 

    I was working on the homework right now and I had a thought that I wanted to ask you outside of class. 

    Would it be possible to request that all communication and work between my podcasting partner and myself be done in the classroom on Tuesdays? 

    I would prefer not to share any of my personal information with students for the sake of privacy and security. I would also prefer to interact with my podcasting partner(s) in a supervised classroom instead of an unsupervised location. 

    I’m a very social people person outside of school, although at school I have my guard up due to several experiences I’ve had with students since starting at CUNY two years ago. 

    When interacting with students, I treat them with the utmost respect. I only talk about schoolwork. I don’t joke around at all. I don’t talk about anything controversial. 

    I just wanted to include that I love this class. The material is awesome. I think you’re a great professor and that you have designed a class that is very beneficial for students. 

    I’ll do anything you tell me to do. I just wanted to let you know what’s on my mind just in case any accommodations can be made. Also, I didn’t want to approach you with this on the fly in class. I thought it would be better to bring this up via email in advance so you can answer when you are available. 

    The thought of meeting with students off-campus and sharing personal information is very scary for me due to the astronomical amount of complaints from students against students in New York colleges. 

    Almost 4K sexual violence complaints made at New York colleges (nypost.com)

    Between you and me I’m street homeless. I don’t think that many parents would want their children sharing personal information and meeting with street homeless people outside of the classroom. 

    Also, my personal data/information isn’t secure at all. I have been robbed four separate times in the past two months. People stole my phone four separate times in Midtown Manhattan in the past four months. 

    I have woken up with my phones and laptops missing so many times over the years I lost count. Then when I get my phone back I see people have gone into my accounts and sent messages, erased things, uploaded pictures into my accounts, contacted people, and everything else you can imagine. 

    I have so many police reports reporting all the times I’ve been robbed that I literally lost count because I’ve been street homeless for five years.

    On a positive note, I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t have a criminal record. I don’t do anything illegal. Homeless people have a bad reputation so I like to include that when I mention that I’m homeless. 

    In regards to schoolwork I’m moving full steam ahead. I almost always turn in homework on time or early. I don’t care about grades at all. Luckily I’ve been on the Dean’s List for the past four or five semesters.

    In regards to student loans and the welfare office, all I need is a C or D. I’m happy to earn As and Bs although I’m at Baruch College to learn and elevate my situation which is what I’m doing. 

    Also, the welfare office tells everyone that if a man looks at a woman if it’s determined to be leering, all food and benefits will immediately be discontinued, and the person will have to eat at soup kitchens. I have eaten at some soup kitchens in New York City and to be honest I’d rather eat dog food, it’s probably safer. If I’m correct, Baruch College has a leering policy as well. 

    That is why I would feel more comfortable in a supervised atmosphere. Also, I’m glad I remembered to mention to you that I’m street homeless because I don’t want any parents to complain to the school and cause anyone any grief. 

    I’m not embarrassed about being street homeless at all. From a legal standpoint if you would like to announce to the class that Mark Pine is street homeless is there anyone that wouldn’t mind being in a group with him. There is a good chance that students could see me sleeping in the subway so there is no point trying to hide it. 

    Thanks to CUNY and HRA I have places to shower, keep my things, wash my clothes, etc. Unfortunately, I don’t like living in homeless shelters so I have to sleep in the subway or on benches when it’s warm.

    I’ll be honest I’m in better spirits now than I was when I was living on the Upper East Side, always behind on my rent. Of course, my number one goal is to get back into an apartment, I’m just saying living in an apartment that I couldn’t afford wasn’t the most fun I’ve ever had. At least now I don’t have that hanging over my head twenty-four hours per day. 

    I make videos on social media talking about how I’m street homeless. I’m trying to raise awareness about how there are a lot of homeless people like myself that just have bad credit and no money. We work. We go to school. We are trying to elevate our situation.

    The general public thinks every homeless person is pushing a shopping cart yelling at an imaginary friend. Plus, drunk and on drugs. I have met many homeless people that have normal jobs and are trying to elevate their situation. 

    I’m more than happy to pair up with any student you assign. I’m just a little cautious about having unsupervised contact with students outside of class. 

    Please let me know if you require any additional information from me and any feedback would be appreciated. Regardless of what the decision is, I’ll make the best of it like I always do and I’ll continue to treat everyone professionally and with the utmost respect.

    Thank you and have a great day. 

    Mark Pine
