Opinion: Sympathy points email to my Baruch College CUNY Spring 2023 professors.

Loading

Greetings Professor,

First and foremost I always treat everyone at Baruch College CUNY with the utmost respect at all times. 

That is more important than any of this. 

Everyone at Baruch College CUNY is providing a stellar service for the community. 

I’m sending this email to all my professors although I should really be sending it to the legislators that I believe are in charge of these types of decisions. 

Whatever grade I get, I get. 

I 1 million % respect all my professor’s decisions. 

I just wanted to include a little information about myself and other individuals in similar situations. 

In my humble opinion there should be a classification for students living in extreme poverty such as myself. 

There are a lot of students in the United States that are homeless, live in dangerous neighborhoods, don’t have food, etc. 

I’m living in the street homeless and I don’t have food. 

I’m on public assistance receiving about $8 per day for food. 

I applied for hundreds of minimum wage jobs in Manhattan and didn’t get one offer. 

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’m in good spirits and making the best of the situation. 

Baruch College CUNY and the professors and staff have made my life 1000X more comfortable than it was before I started college. 

For example, I have a phone, laptop, winter coat, etc. 

I believe that one day I will get a roof back over my head. 

I receive many benefits from New York City, the Federal Government, etc. 

The only benefit I don’t accept is living in a homeless shelter. 

I prefer to be homeless in the street. 

When it’s cold outside I’ll sleep sitting up on the steps of a subway platform such as East 77th St in Manhattan. 

When it’s freezing outside I can’t sit down. 

There are subway stations that are warm but don’t allow people to sit down. 

A lot of people think New York City and the subway is a “free for all” but it isn’t. 

The subway stations that don’t have heat are more lenient than the subway stations that have heat. 

Therefore during the coldest winter months I will have to stand up for hours every night because I can’t sleep—and I’m still freezing. 

There are a lot of homeless people like me that work and go to school. 

People don’t think or don’t care about homeless people that are trying to elevate their lives. 

A lot of us are.

Instead of focusing on that everyone just wants to focus on the most out of control homeless people. 

All the schoolwork I did this semester was while I was tired, hungry, and freezing. 

My phone was stolen 3 times this semester. 

I have police reports for 2 of the times. 

The last thing I want to include is that I understand that just because a person isn’t homeless, doesn’t mean life is perfect for them. 

I understand everyone has their own hurdles to get over. 

Especially these days. 

If any of the above facts has a positive impact on my grade, great. 

If not, I totally understand. 

Thank you and have a great day.

Opinion: Email to Baruch College about using my school email for a side project.

Loading

Greetings Baruch College,

Everything is going great at school. 

I love school. 

I’m 95% done with all my schoolwork for the semester. 

My number one goal in life is to earn money so I can get an apartment. 

In my spare time I’m trying to earn money. 

Just in case I don’t earn any money, I’m staying on top of all my schoolwork. 

In regards to school, I would like to attend any CUNY graduate school.

If I don’t get accepted into any CUNY graduate school it’s no big deal. It was fun while it lasted. I’m lucky to have gotten this far. 

I’m not going to be graduating from Baruch College for another year or so. 

If possible I will try to attend the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. 

I have a plan and I just wanted to mention it to you upfront. 

I plan on creating a little blog and video channel to present to the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY.

I doubt the blog and video channel will ever earn any money because there is so much competition and I will need so many views that it’s doubtful I’ll reach that level. 

The reason I’m mentioning this to you is because I plan on contacting people for interviews from my Baruch College email and this isn’t a Baruch College assignment. 

This is something extra to use to try and get into the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. 

Any email I send, anytime I interact with anyone, anything I post on the web I will make sure is respectful and professional. 

I don’t want to contact people from a generic email. 

If I contact people as a Baruch College journalism student I will get better results because many people in New York City respect CUNY including me. 

I have all the respect in the world for the Baruch College student news websites, although I want to interview people on video and post it to the web about the topics I want to cover. 

For example, topics about New York City, careers, etc.

Also by some miracle if I can earn or raise money from the project, I want to own it. 

Please advise if it’s OK for me to use my Baruch College email for the project. 

If I don’t hear from you I’ll assume it’s OK. 

Thank you and have a great day.

Opinion: Email to the Baruch College Dean about not being able to use the Wi-Fi at school properly.

Loading

Greetings Baruch College, 

Anytime I’m at Baruch College using the Baruch College Wi-Fi it’s very difficult to bring up websites on my laptop and turn pages on websites.

For example, I can’t bring up any websites, documents, or anything for that matter unless I wait several minutes and sometimes hours.  

For example, it can take 3 minutes to bring up the Baruch College website. 

It can take 30 minutes to turn one page on any website. 

Therefore I’ve started to document what’s going on with my 5 laptops when I’m using the Baruch College Wi-Fi. 

For example, I’ll record my laptop screen with my phone. 

I already have several videos showing what’s going on and I’m making more. 

I always make sure that when I record my laptop screen with my phone that there is something behind my laptop. 

For example, right now I’m standing up using my laptop on the 10th floor vertical building ledge in the hallway. 

Another good place to record my laptop screen is in the little desk areas in the Baruch College library where the desks are sort of boxed in and surrounded with the separators. 

I’ve noticed a strange thing since I started recording my laptop screen. 

There will be times, every day, where I can not bring up any website or turn one page on the web when using the Baruch College Wi-Fi. 

Then I will start recording my laptop screen with my phone and the laptop will start moving again albeit at 80% to 90% reduced speeds from how it used to be. 

I never record my laptop screen unless there is something behind the screen. 

Sometimes when I record my laptop screen, standing up at the ledges in the hallways, Baruch College students will crash into me from the sides but I just ignore them. 

I’m used to having Baruch College students cut me off, crash into me, and shove their phones in my face. 

I just ignore the Baruch College students when that happens and move away without saying anything.

If anyone has any ideas about using the Baruch College Wi-Fi please let me know. 

When I have a little more video showing exactly what’s going with me using the Baruch College Wi-Fi or not using it, I’ll send it over if anyone can look at it. 

I’ll also politely and respectfully see what guidance the Help Desk can provide.

I understand everyone is doing their best under the circumstances.

I’m making the best of the situation too.

Thank you and have a great day.

Opinion: Email to one of the higher ups at CUNY about my potential journalism internship.

Loading

Greetings Baruch College and CUNY,

I’m a journalism major. 

As part of the requirements to graduate as a journalism major I have to either intern for a news media company or take a 4000 level class. 

I’m going to try to see if I can land a job as an intern somewhere. 

I just wanted to mention one quick thing about it to you. 

I never mention anything negative about law enforcement to anyone at Baruch College. 

I never mention anything negative about anything to anyone at Baruch College. 

I have the utmost respect for you and your team. 

I’m guessing that I’m going to have to send hundreds or thousands of emails to news media companies in the next few weeks to try and land an internship. 

With remote working it can be any news media company nationwide. 

If anyone from any news media company contacts me back I will treat them with the same professionalism and respect that I treat everyone at Baruch College. 

If a person that I’m trying to land an internship with starts asking me about law enforcement because they see something I’ve posted online, I will say with all due respect I can’t talk about it. 

I view everything connected with this internship as being on campus at Baruch College and I don’t talk about anything negative at Baruch College. 

If someone is interested in helping me they can give me the internship. 

If anyone asks me about my living situation, of course I would let them know that I’m living in the street homeless. 

I’m not complaining about being homeless. 

I’m making the best of being homeless and trying to elevate my situation.

Thank you and have a great day.

Opinion: New York City law enforcement has more audio scams on the way to try and get me kicked out of Baruch College.

Loading

Greetings NYC FBI and NYPD,

NYC law enforcement runs one scam after the next on me. 

NYC law enforcement does not have any oversight at all in my opinion. 

No law enforcement does. 

For every member of law enforcement that gets in trouble there is a huge number of them getting away with the same thing every day. 

It’s a fluke for a member of law enforcement to get in trouble for anything. 

I just interviewed people that work for the NYC government for a journalism homework assignment. 

The homework is not ever being published anywhere on the web.

One more time for the record. 

All the interviews are recorded with Tape A Call. 

I’m not ever contacting any of the people I interviewed that work for the NYC government again. 

If I ever see any of them in person by some miracle I will treat them with the utmost respect at all times. 

I wouldn’t recognize them if I saw them. 

NYC law enforcement has years of audio of me arguing, complaining, and reporting law enforcement. 

Law enforcement can easily have amazing audio editors edit my audio into new conversations with anyone they want. 

NYC Law enforcement has billions of dollars, tens of thousands of employees, and they run scams that are beyond anyone’s imagination. 

One more time, I treated everyone I interviewed for my podcast homework with the utmost respect on the phone. 

I’m never contacting any of them ever again. 

If I ever see any of them I will treat them with the utmost respect. 

I can feel law enforcement cooking up the next scam on me. 

I’m 46 with no criminal record.

I record vlogs outside of college complaining about the government. 

That has nothing to do with Baruch College. 

I also complain about law enforcement harassing me all the time. 

Law enforcement can easily have the people that work for the government that I interviewed for a Baruch College homework assignment pick up the phone when I call the FBI or NYPD 911, pretend they work at the FBI or NYPD, and argue with me on the phone. 

I don’t remember what any of them sound like. 

I only have one phone. 

Of course law enforcement takes my phone all the time when I’m sleeping. 

I’m about to take a nap in a few minutes. 

I am grateful that the people that work for the government spent time with me on the phone. 

The only thing I’m focused on in addition to treating everyone at and connected with Baruch College respectfully, is making money so I can hire attorneys to sue the government for allowing law enforcement to harass me every day without any oversight besides the New York Courts and NYC Comptroller—when it’s supposed to be NYPD Internal Affairs, NYC DOI, etc. 

There are plenty of videos on the web of me complaining about the government.

I never complain about the government to anyone at Baruch College or connected with Baruch College in any way.

Law enforcement can easily take the audio from any of of the videos and create a fabricated conversation with any of the people that I just interviewed for a Baruch College homework assignment. 

I call NYPD 911 and the FBI every day when law enforcement and their civilian lie and scam team are harassing me. 

Thank you and have a great day.

Opinion: Today April 26, 2023, the NYPD was running scams on me in person. 

Loading

Greetings NYPD Internal Affairs,

Usually the NYPD sends women and men in regular clothes to crash into me, shove their phones in my face, rob me, blow marijana smoke in my face, etc. 

When I call NYPD 911 the NYPD has the people that pick up the phone for NYPD 911 run scams on me and harass me on the phone. 

I have called NYPD 911 over 10,000 times in the past 7 years. 

I have given NYPD 911 my name, number, email, date of birth, social, etc. 

Today April 26, 2023, early in the morning the NYPD was running scams on me in person and on the phone.

I’m not sure the exact time but it was after 1 AM in the morning.

I was sitting outside in the Hudson Yards area trying to use my laptop. 

Law enforcement started remotely blocking me from using my laptop like they always do. 

Law enforcement can remotely block me from using my laptop.

Law enforcement remotely blocks me from using my laptop at Baruch College. 

I called NYPD 911. 

NYPD 911 started running scams and harass me on the phone as they always do. 

While I’m trying to report to NYPD 911 that law enforcement is remotely blocking me from using my laptop, I made it very clear that I only want to report the NYPD on the phone, I don’t want to meet the NYPD in person. 

What is a patrol cop going to do if people I know are paying the NYPD tens of thousands of dollars or more under the table to harass me? 

Two members of the NYPD showed up in person to the outdoor tables in the Hudson Years area sometime between 1 AM and 4 AM. 

The NYPD officers in uniform said that they were there because I was calling NYPD 911. 

I said I told NYPD 911 I don’t want to meet with the NYPD in the street. 

I told the NYPD officers that I’ve been to several NYPD precincts and they won’t help me at all. 

The NYPD officers said they were from the NYPD 10 Precinct in Chelsea, New York City. 

One of the NYPD officers in uniform told me he was from or living in Nassau County, Long Island. 

I immediately asked the NYPD 911 officers if they could turn on their body cameras.

The 2 NYPD officers said no, they would not turn on their body cameras. 

I got some video from when the 3 of us were standing there. 

We spoke for a while about people harassing me and that was it. 

The NYPD officers left. 

I’ve been to the NYPD 10 Precinct before to report people robbing me and harassing me.

I was denied police reports from the NYPD 10 Precinct at least 3 separate times. 

People I know have been paying the NYPD to harass me for years. 

The NYPD is claiming they have about 55,000 employees with 19,000 civilians and 36,000 law enforcement. 

What the NYPD doesn’t tell you is how many people they have running around in addition to that.

The NYPD has a lot of women and men that run scams for the NYPD part time, off the books. 

For example, the NYPD has women and men that set people up as stalkers and for sexual harassment. 

The NYPD has people that start fights to get people in trouble. 

The NYPD has their civilian lie and scam team harass me constantly.

That is why I pick up the phone and call the FBI and NYPD 911 and ignore the civilian woman and men that the NYPD sends to harass me. 

I can write 100,000 more words about this topic but I have schoolwork. 

I’m more than happy to share my phone records and bank records with any government agencies if they would like to investigate people I know paying law enforcement to harass me. 

The only time I can turn a page on the web with my laptop is when I hold my phone recording my laptop screen with one hand and I use my laptop with the other hand. 

If I’m not constantly recording my laptop screen with my phone—I can’t turn a page on the web. 

Even when my laptop does work the speed of any laptop or computer I use is down 80% compared from before law enforcement started harassing me.

Please advise if you would like any additional information from me.

The US Attorney Southern District blocked my phone number.

The NYC FBI blocked my phone number.

The Manhattan District Attorney blocked my phone number.

NYPD Internal Affairs blocked my phone number.  

Thank you and have a great day.

Opinion: My grades at Baruch College CUNY are going down this semester. 

Loading

Greetings NYPD Internal Affairs,

I don’t care what grades my professors give me, I will always treat my Baruch College and CUNY professors with the utmost respect at all times. 

If one of my CUNY professors threw my belongings out of the window, poured a can of paint on my head, and called me a homeless bum loser (I’m homeless)—I would not say a negative word to any of my Baruch College professors under any circumstances. 

I don’t lose my cool at Baruch College. 

That’s why I’m 46 years old, living in the street homeless, with law enforcement harassing me and I still don’t have a criminal record. 

I’ve learned a lot of valuable information at Baruch College and LaGuardia Community College. 

If law enforcement wasn’t constantly harassing me, CUNY would be the best experience ever. 

To be honest, I’m happy as long as I pass. 

I’m happy as long as law enforcement doesn’t murder me with drugs as they are threatening. 

I always treat everyone at Baruch College with the utmost respect at all times. 

That includes staff, professors, security guards, and students. 

Treating people at Baruch College and CUNY respectfully is more important than anything. 

I never partake in any controversial conversations at Baruch College under any circumstances. 

I’m 80% complete with my bachelors degree at Baruch College. 

I’m set to graduate in the next 3 semesters. 

My main goals at Baruch College are to treat everyone respectfully and earn a 2.0 GPA so I can graduate. 

To be honest, I try to get good grades but at the end of the day all that matters is that I pass. 

I think I need a 2.0 to pass. 

Right now my GPA is above 3.0. 

I’m living in the street homeless. 

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. 

I’ve been living in the street homeless for longer than I’ve been a student at CUNY. 

I make the best of all situations. 

People I know pay law enforcement to harass me. 

Law enforcement has women and men in regular clothes shove their phones in my face, blow drug smoke in my face, crash into me, rob me, vandalize my property, etc. 

Someone stole my cell phone out of my pocket when I was sleeping 3 times in the last 2 months. 

I have been robbed and had my property vandalized hundreds of times.

I’m not giving up. 

This semester law enforcement has been blocking me from using the Baruch College Wi-Fi. 

Law enforcement and their civilian team have been harassing me constantly. 

I’m 90% done with all my schoolwork for the semester Spring 2023. 

I would guess that this semester I’m going to get about a 2.5 GPA or maybe a 2.0 GPA.  

Mostly Bs and Cs or whatever a 2.0 is. 

Honestly, I don’t care. 

I would prefer As but under the circumstances I’m making the best of the situation. 

I have 3 months off of school this summer. 

I’m going to call and email thousands of organizations trying to get help and expose law enforcement for harassing me. 

Law enforcement has drug addicts constantly pretending they are with me, pretending they are handing me things, etc. 

Plus law enforcement has people at Baruch College constantly harassing me. 

Under the circumstances I think I’m doing OK. 

As I said I’m making the best of the situation. 

No matter what grades any of my professors give me I will continue to treat them all with the utmost respect at all times. 

All my professors are amazing. 

I’ve learned a lot this semester. 

I love learning about journalism and BLS. 

Everything I have is because of Baruch College and CUNY. 

For example, my laptops, my winter coats, my phones that law enforcement didn’t steal yet, and much more. 

I don’t care about grades. 

I never talk about law enforcement harassing me at Baruch College. 

I’m making the best of the situation. 

Even when my professors sabotage me and harass me I treat them respectfully because law enforcement can snap their fingers and have anyone fired from CUNY in 1 second flat. 

Also, law enforcement throws money and connects around to people that run scams for them. 

When I was falsely arrested in Nassau County Long Island New York and charged with a misdemeanor that was knocked down to a violation I requested a bench trial (that I’m about to request in my CUNY lawsuit) and I represented myself. 

Who would take that strategy besides someone that knows how to respectfully navigate situations?

Opinion: NYC law enforcement are running audio scams on me and threatening to murder me with drugs.

Loading

Greetings law enforcement oversight,

The NYPD runs the same scams on me at Baruch College, supermarkets, stores, and everywhere else. 

I’m not a lawyer. 

This is what I believe the situation is. 

I’m located in New York City. 

I think people are allowed to secretly audio record conversations they are a part of.

I think the rule is that people aren’t allowed to record conversations that they are not a part of or eavesdropping if that is the term. 

Law enforcement sends one woman and man after the next at me to harass me. 

Then law enforcement has 300 witnesses that work for law enforcement say “Mark Pine was rude, let’s ban him from buying food at supermarkets, kick him out of Baruch College and everywhere else.”

Today I was waiting in line for the bathroom at a supermarket in Queens, New York. 

I’m not saying the name because I don’t want to be sued for defamation. 

I plan on entering the food business one day.

Of course law enforcement has women and men in regular clothes harassing me in the supermarket. 

Then I try to go to the bathroom and 7 or 8 of the people that worked for the supermarket ran in line in front of me. 

I didn’t see if they were rubbing their heads, pointing, coughing, jogging in place, and shoving their phones in my face—I didn’t look.

That’s what they do in my Baruch College classes, in the subway, etc.

I was patiently waiting my turn to use the bathroom. 

Then law enforcement starts running the “are you in line scam on me.”

A woman that worked at the supermarket walks up to me in line and asked “are you in line for the bathroom?’ as I was standing in line outside of the bathroom. 

I pretended that I didn’t hear the person so she cut me in line. 

Then after about 7 or 8 people that worked for the supermarket went to the bathroom, the security guard walked over. 

I immediately assumed he was there for the next scam that law enforcement would have him run on me so I hit audio record on my phone. 

Immediately 2 or 3 people that work at the supermarket walk over and start having a loud conversation right next to me to get me to stop recording—eavesdropping.

Then the last person walks out and I start walking to the bathroom. 

The security guard cuts me in line and starts walking to the bathroom. 

I immediately turned my audio recorder back on. 

I said excuse me I am in line. 

The security guard started saying he didn’t see me in line. 

Then another staff member walked over and the security guard said I was being rude to him. 

I showed the security guard my phone’s screen with the audio recorder and he stopped saying that I was rude. 

I went to the bathroom and that was it. 

On another note:

I don’t drink. I don’t do drugs.

I’m not that deep of a sleeper.

I don’t have a criminal record at 46. 

I wake up with cuts on my arms all the time. 

I’m living in the street homeless.

Then law enforcement has their female and male lie and scam team follow me around and motion that they are pretending  to inject themselves. 

I’m going to be honest I think law enforcement is trying to get me kicked out of every place so I can’t use the bathrooms anywhere and they can record me urinating and defecating in the street. 

Also, law enforcement has drug addicts constantly pretend they are with me and handing me things. 

Also, if I ever try to use a public bathroom law enforcement will have drug addicts walk in at the same time as me, put their arms around me like we are together, etc. 

Of course law enforcement runs the exact same scams on me at Baruch College with their automatic As and Bs without doing any school work student team. 

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.

I’m more than happy to hand over my phone and bank records to aid in the investigation. Thank you and have a great day. 

Mark Pine
