  • Email to my gym about customers not respecting the environment.

    Greetings X gym,

    More important than anything, I treat all your staff with the utmost respect at all times. For the most part, I keep to myself. The interaction I have with your team is always respectful as I treat everyone. The X gym employees at the gym are the best in the business.

    As I’ve mentioned several times, X gym is my favorite workout place in the city. You are doing an extraordinary job.

    I wanted to report that the majority of your clients are following the rules. For some reason, and this was going on at other gyms I’ve been a member at, there are people whose mission is to break the rules.

    I never mention anything about this to your staff in person. Lord knows they have enough to manage running a retail location in New York City. Furthermore, I would never mention a word to one of your customers, regardless of whatever happened. Nothing phases me. Someone could throw a can of paint on my head, and I woudn’t lose my cool.

    The issue I’m emailing about is people not being patient while walking around the gym. If I didn’t know better, I would suspect there are a number of customers looking to crash into people in the hallways. I was waiting for someone to walk out of the locker room while walking out of the bathroom. People start running around me from behind, cutting everyone off. They might have been on their way to pick up a bank check or something like that. It’s none of my business.

    If you ever look at how carefully I walk around the gym, you would see how respectful I am. I’m not claiming that everyone needs to be as cautious as me. However, some clients are cutting people off and not respecting the situation here.

    It’s not a big deal. I merely enjoy reporting everything to try and be helpful when possible.

    Thank you again for running the number one gym in the city. I hope X gym takes over the whole country.

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • I was arrested by the Nassau County Police for reporting crimes.

    Greetings New York State Comptroller, Nassau County Executive, Nassau County Comptroller, and Nassau County District Attorney,

    I don’t have time to write up the whole situation because I’m a full-time student at The City University of New York. Moreover, New York law enforcement and their civilian team viciously harass me every day, including today. 

    I grew up with rich people in New York who pay New York law enforcement to terrorize people. They have been doing it for decades. It’s standard procedure. 

    Just in case anyone reading this doesn’t believe this goes on, New York law enforcement members have recently been apprehended for murder, rape, domestic violence, child abuse, drug dealing, etc. Some of the crimes are beyond apprehension. I don’t feel comfortable typing them. 

    One officer, Named Richard Furboter from the Nassau County Police Department, was arrested for exposing himself to one or more residents of Nassau County. His crimes were committed while he was an active member of the Nassau County Police Department. 

    Somehow he managed to get arrested. He quickly retired and now he is collecting a full pension in the comfort of his own home. I would love to know what charge or charges he ended up with on his record. Is he a registered sex offender? 

    I spend the majority of my time in New York City. Sometimes I visit Nassau County to study because more places are open.

    I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t have a criminal record. 

    I’m a full-time student at LaGuardia Community College. Next semester I will be attending Baruch College as a journalism major. 

    I have not missed one class in a year and a half at school. My GPA is 4.0 after one year, with the police harassing me constantly. 

    The reason I’m contacting everyone is that I was recently arrested in Nassau County. 

    I was arrested for arguing on the phone and reporting crimes against me to Nassau County Police headquarters and Nassau County 911. No threats were made. 

    There are several calls that I’m confident members of the Nassau County Police Department and anyone who works for the Nassau County government would not be proud of. Of course, there are calls that I would not be proud of either. With that being said, no threats were made by me. 

    I also called Nassau County Police Precincts to alert them that I was going to stop by for a police report, and they threatened me over the phone. I can get the exact dates and times from my T Mobile phone records. 

    New York law enforcement had girls and women try to hook up with me to set me up. I didn’t fall for it. 

    It’s the same exact thing as women hiring a private detective to have females bust their husband’s cheating. People I know pay the same exact “former” law enforcement to have women say men acted improperly. 

    Additionally, they have civilian women and men who work for them try and pick fights with me while the Nassau County Police supervise. The NYPD does the same thing. 

    When they start to hammer away at me I just pick up the phone and call 911 or any other law enforcement that I think of. I report what’s going on to cover myself, knowing I’m not getting any help. The people who pick up the government phones usually try to pick fights with me on the phone to divert the attention away from why I’m calling. 

    About five days before I was arrested police officers from the Nassau County Police 6th Precinct stopped me in Great Neck. They told me to stop calling Nassau County Police headquarters and stop calling Nassau County 911. 

    I have not called either number since that day. I was polite to the officers. I video recorded the whole encounter. 

    Five or six days later I was arrested at the Jericho Public Library while I was studying for school. I didn’t resist arrest and I wasn’t disrespectful. 

    I emailed the Nassau County District attorney and Nassau County Legal Aid that I want to put this matter behind me. I’m not an attorney. In my humble opinion, I’m willing to accept a violation. No jail time. No probation. I think that is fair.

    If it has to go to trial I’m going to opt for a judge trial. Not a jury trial. If people who work for the courts or government want to drop the whole case, obviously I accept that. 

    Before I was arrested I called the Nassau County Executive, Nassau County Police Internal Affairs, the Nassau County District Attorney, and others to report I’m being harassed by the police. Furthermore, I believe that some of the crimes that took place against me were captured on retail store’s video cameras. No one investigated. 

    A few months ago I filed paperwork with the Nassau County Attorney to sue the Nassau County Police. The paperwork was rejected. I was/am in the process of refiling. 

    I was approved by the New York City Comptroller’s office to sue the NYPD. I had a deposition and was given documentation. I haven’t filed the suit because I’m too busy with school and being harassed. 

    I was arrested by the Nassau County Police 2nd Precinct. When they arrested me they tried to trick me into signing a statement. I didn’t fall for it. They also locked me to a wall in a room by myself and blasted music for hours. I don’t think that is allowed. I think people should be on video the whole time they are in custody. 

    This is the complaint that Nassau County legal aid gave me:

    https://markpine.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/a3460-2448_001.pdf

    There is a lot more but I don’t have time because I’m studying for finals. I will continue to treat everyone at the Nassau County Courts, Nassau County District Attorney, Nassau County Attorney, etc. respectfully. I’m not trying to make a bad circumstance worse. 

    It’s tough because my civilian enemies have been paying New York law enforcement for decades. They have worked their way high up the food chain. 

    Please provide any feedback you deem appropriate. 

    Thank you for your consideration and have a great day.

  • Email to my storage place about the police using young girls to try and set me up.

    Greetings X Storage,

    First and foremost I treat everyone at X Storage with the utmost respect at all times. That includes staff and customers. I keep to myself, but if I see a staff member I say hi, tell them they are doing a great job, and I left them a five-star review on Google Maps.

    I love X Storage.

    Tonight is the second night in a row that the same person was in the hallway right before the elevator. The person has every right to be there.

    I just wanted to mention that the person I think is a young girl or woman. I didn’t look too closely in her direction but I heard her voice because she tried to start a conversation with me. I ignored her.

    I immediately turned on the voice recorder on my phone just in case she continued to speak to me. I also walked directly in front of the camera, far away from her, so while I was waiting I was in clear view of the camera.

    The reason I ignored her is that rich people I grew up with paid former NYPD private detectives to have young girls try to hook up with me to get me locked up. I didn’t fall for it.

    I’m not saying this girl/woman has anything to do with that, I’m just keeping my distance as a precaution as I would any man or woman.

    I have no criminal record. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke. I don’t party. I don’t do anything illegal. I’m a full-time student at The City University of New York.

    I got the feeling the girl or woman was sort of hanging around waiting for me to do the squeeze by in the narrow hallway. I didn’t do the squeeze by with her. I patiently waited for her to go and I didn’t say a word.

    I’m not saying a word about this to anyone at the location. I’m not saying a word about this to anyone. I’m just mentioning here that anytime I show up and this woman is in the hallway by the elevator, I will patiently wait and I’m not saying a word to her. I don’t care if she is there for thirty minutes every time I show up, I’m not saying a word. I’m also not going anywhere near her.

    As I said she has every right to be there. I’m just going on the record that I’m not at X Storage for networking or meeting anyone new. After what the NYPD has put me through I wouldn’t go out with a woman if she transferred a million dollars into my Chase Bank account.

    The police still harass me constantly and I’m in the process of suing them. That is not to say that I have a problem with all police. I just called NYPD 911 a few hours ago because of a situation and I was as friendly as could be with them and vice versa.

    If this girl or woman was connected with the police she would start popping up at other locations I’m at around the city. Or she would constantly be showing up at the same time as me. Either before or at the same time so it appears that “he’s following her.”

    Of course, the esteemed members of New York law enforcement would never do that.

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Email to my storage place about someone blocking the hallway.

    Greetings X Storage,

    I love X Storage. It’s the best service ever. The deal is amazing. A lot of people realize how awesome it is and a lot of people don’t realize the convenience of having storage. 

    Tonight I showed up at my storage location and there was someone blocking the hallway. There was no way to get by the person. I wanted to let you know how I handled the situation. 

    I didn’t say a word to anyone. I didn’t say a word to the person blocking the hallway. I didn’t say a word to your staff asking them to please ask the person to make space so people can get by. 

    I just turned around and left. That is the amount of respect that I have, had, and always will have for X Storage. 

    I’m not perfect. Most people are not perfect. For whatever reason, the person felt the need to block the entire hallway and that is fine with me. The world is not going to end because I can’t access my storage room for a few minutes or hours. I let things slide and move on to the next.

    Your staff is doing an amazing job running the place. That’s it. I just wanted to let you know again, that I appreciate the service. Furthermore, I treat everyone at X Storage with the utmost respect at all times. That includes your staff and customers. 

    Personally, I would never block the hallway like that. Regardless, it’s no big deal. I just wanted to let you know how respectfully I carry myself in your establishment. 

    Thank you for the amazing service and value. 

    Have a great day.

  • Last-minute email to a CUNY professor about wanting to maintain my privacy from students.

    Greetings Professor,

    More important than anything, I treat everyone at CUNY with the utmost respect at all times. That includes professors, staff, students, etc.

    As we get closer to the presentation time, I realize it will be in my best interest not to answer student questions.

    I’m excited to give the presentation with video. I’m equally looking forward to answering any questions you might have.

    I’m not going to get too deep into why I don’t want to answer student questions, but there is a little bit of information I would like to share.

    I have no criminal record. I don’t do anything illegal. I don’t drink. Don’t smoke. Don’t party.

    I have had a few strange interactions with students that has made me want to maintain my privacy from students at all times.

    1. A student was harassing me in front of BMCC. I reported it, and no one got back to me. The whole thing was in clear view of BMCC security cameras. I have no idea who the student was.
    2. A student started yelling and screaming at me in the middle of a class at LaGuardia Community College. I don’t know the person at all. I never said one word to the person before, during, or after.

    There was a security camera in the classroom. I contacted LaGuardia Community College security about the incident. They said the security camera was broken and wasn’t recording that day.

    1. A student was trying to talk with me in the hallway early in my first semester. I said to the person, do you work here? The individual said no. I said I’m busy and I can’t speak right now. The person grabbed me around the waist. I untangled myself and quickly walked away.

    I didn’t report that one right away. When I did report it, security did nothing. That was also in clear view of security cameras.

    I respect however many points you have to deduct. I can go deeper into the explanation, but I don’t believe it’s appropriate for school. Therefore I’m going to stop it there.

    This class is one of my favoritess, and I gave it my all to earn an A. If I had to be dropped down to a B or a C because I don’t want to answer student questions, I accept it.

    Thank you and have a great day.

    I love CUNY.

  • Email to a clothing company. The police stole something I ordered from the post office.

    Greetings X,

    I never received the order. 

    My address is a PO box. My PO box has the PO box address and a street address. I use the street address.

    I’m 44. I have no criminal record. I don’t lie. About a year ago I bought over $1,000 in jackets from you. You accidentally refunded all the money and I had the jackets. I called you and sent over the money. That’s how honest I am. 

    There are a few things that could have happened to the jacket. Rich people I know pay New York law enforcement, FBI, NYPD, etc. to harass me beyond belief. They have robbed me so many times I lost count. Clothes, laptops, phones, etc. 

    I highly suspect they stole the jacket for three reasons. 

    1. Just to harass me because they are being paid and are a bunch of haters. 

    2. So that I approach the USPS postal workers and ask about the jacket. Then they will force the postal workers to lie and say I was disrespectful so they can have me thrown out of the post office. They love to have me kicked out of places for no reason. I always treat people respectfully regardless of what’s going on. 

    3. They want to set me up for fraud. I have a storage room where I keep things in New York City. New York law enforcement might have taken the jacket. Then when I report it missing to you they can go into my storage and put the jacket in there and have me arrested for fraud. 

    I’m wearing the exact same jacket I ordered right now. The one that is missing was supposed to be a backup just in case the one I’m wearing gets damaged or stolen by the police. 

    I have two of them already. One size small and another size medium. The medium is for the winter when I’m layering. 

    I still have an additional store credit for about $300 or more. 

    Ideally, I would like a credit for the lost jacket. I never received it. Regardless of what happens, you have always been very generous with me in regards to the warranty so I’m appreciative for that. 

    I went to the post office and there was no slip in my box saying the jacket was delivered. I went up to the counter and asked if I had any packages and they said no. I said a company told me they delivered something. 

    The postal person said give me the tracking number. At that minute I realized in my mind that this was going to turn into some type of police scam. 

    I don’t blame the postal workers for lying. They have no choice. When law enforcement runs around the city and asks government workers to help them run scams, they have no choice. If they don’t do it they will be fired, killed, or both. I’ve seen it happen. I reported it to NYPD/NYC Crime Stoppers, NYPD internal affairs, CCRB, and others. 

    Ideally, I would like a credit if possible. If the jacket turns up I’ll notify you immediately. I’ve already proven I wouldn’t run off with over $1,000 let alone $160. 

    I don’t want anything that isn’t mine. I assume you can get the money back from the shipper, insurance, or whoever because you are running a major operation. 

    Technically, I could say the jacket is missing but I want to cover myself because people I know pay New York law enforcement to run scams on me. 

    For example, they had at least two dozen teenage girls try to hook up with me. I don’t understand why they keep sending them after I said no so many times. They keep sending one girl after the next.

    I like women but I don’t like going to jail. I’m waiting until I have the money to buy or develop a robot girlfriend who is lifelike. Hopefully, New York law enforcement can’t program her to set me up. I’ll have to put a kill switch on her just in case because they are very sneaky like that. 

    Don’t get me wrong, New York law enforcement kills and sets up women too. They have different scams for women. 

    Please advise about what you decide with the jacket. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Email to HRA about the police stealing my Fair Fares card.

    Greetings HRA,

    I always treat everyone at HRA, CUNY, USPS, etc., with the utmost respect at all times. 

    I suspect my Fair Fares card was stolen out of the mail by New York law enforcement. It’s been three weeks since I was approved. 

    I grew up with wealthy people in New York. A few of them have been paying New York law enforcement to terrorize people for three decades including me.

    New York law enforcement has stolen my mail dozens of times before. I used to be a part of The City University of New York ASAP program. They would give us a free MetroCard that would be valid for a few months at a time. 

    New York law enforcement and their civilian team stole every single one of those MetroCards from me. They steal my phones, laptops, rip my clothes when I’m sleeping, etc. 

    Even if the Fair Fares card appears in the mail, the police will steal it. I have several police reports to back up my claims and I’ve also been rejected for dozens of police reports. 

    I’m still going to try and use the Fair Fares card as much as possible. What should I do if it doesn’t show up in the next week or so? I applied on November 12, 2020 and was approved soon after. 

    Please advise. 

    Thank you and have a great day.

  • Email to a professor about a second term paper preliminary review.

    Anytime a teacher offers to review an essay before it’s due, I send it. I always try and complete assignments early. Normally by the time a professor generously offers a preliminary review I have the assignment ready to send immediately. 

    This is an email to a professor about possibly receiving a second preliminary review. 

    Greetings Professor,

    You provided remarkable feedback on the last version. I don’t want to be greedy, but, if no other students sent in their term papers for your preliminary review, I’m submitting mine for a secondary review.

    I never understand why students don’t take professors up on preliminary reviews of assignments to be submitted, it’s so easy to make updates when a professor provides the insights.

    I have an appointment with the writing center too so I will show them your feedback and send them my term paper for a little extra feedback. I always try to go for the best possible result.

    If one time is the limit that is more than generous. If I can get a second review I’ll take it.

    I’m glad I was able to learn a little about APA 7 in addition to MLA 8.

    Thank you and have a great day.

    I love CUNY.

  • I’m on the Dean’s List at The City University of New York.

    Dear Mark,

    Congratulations! Your outstanding academic performance during the Fall 2019 semester has earned you a place on LaGuardia Community College’s Dean’s List.

    To achieve this honor, a student must have an exemplary overall academic record and at least a 3.50 grade point average for the semester. Meeting such criteria is not easy; you have good reason to feel proud of your accomplishment. You are building a fine academic record. Please accept my warmest congratulations.

    Sincerely,
    Paul Arcario, Ed.D.
    Provost and Sr. Vice President for Academic Affairs

  • Email to the HRA commissioner about the date of my public assistance case recertification.

    Greetings HRA,

    I always treat everyone at HRA, CUNY, etc., with the utmost respect at all times. That is more important than anything. 

    My access HRA account says my recertification is for December 2020. I was outside of The Waverly Job Center this morning at seven this morning with my paperwork. 

    When it was my turn the very nice person at the desk told me my recertification is for June 2021. 

    I just wanted to double-check and make sure that is correct. I have had my case dropped once before with no explanation. 

    I’m going to go back there at least three more times and wait in line for three hours to be one hundred percent sure that I don’t have recertification for a year and a half or more from the last one. 

    If I’m correct my last HRA public assistance/cash assistance recertification case was November 2019. 

    Please provide any feedback you deem appropriate.

    Thank you and have a great day.
