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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Law enforcement has women and men that go to school and work at Baruch College CUNY harass me off campus.
Law enforcement can keep throwing one ambush and scam at me after the next because they don’t have any oversight at all.
For someone that works for the FBI or Police to get in trouble, they have to really try hard.
Law enforcement is running one scam on me at Baruch College after the next—on and off campus.
I just keep my mouth closed and mind my own business.
The big secret with law enforcement is how law enforcement has regular women and men that don’t work for the government at all, running scams and sabotaging people for law enforcement.
When I walk around Manhattan and New York City law enforcement will have women and men in regular clothes harass me.
For example, the civilians that don’t officially work for law enforcement or the government will shove their phones in my face, crash into me, block me from walking, blow drug smoke in my face, vandalize my property, rob me, point in my face, surround me and start acting like I did something wrong when I’m minding my own business, and much more.
Sometimes it gets so bad that I will turn on my phone and just hold it normally but with the video recorder on.
This way I can take the footage to a NYPD precinct and they can deny me a police report, then I can go to the NYC Comptroller’s Office and file another Notice of Claim to sue the NYPD (I’m not an attorney).
Sometimes NYC law enforcement will send people to me that know me and they will ask me to try and cut corners, they will try to get me to commit public assistance fraud, tax fraud, student loan fraud, credit card fraud, etc.
I say to the people you know that I do everything by the book.
I don’t care if I’m starving.
I’m living in the street homeless.
I still do everything by the book.
I don’t drink.
I don’t smoke.
I don’t party.
I don’t do anything illegal.
There are a lot of homeless people like me.
In my opinion homeless people are here to show everyone else to keep their mouth shut about the government or they can join us.
The government can easily get a lot of us off the street.
Instead anytime you hear about homeless people it’s—alcohol, mental health, etc.
There are a ton of homeless people that just have bad credit and not enough money.
Then a person that was handed everything will make negative comments about homeless people.
Personally, I can care less.
I’m making the best of my situation and trying to elevate.
Someone can offer me $10,000,000. right now for one of my startup ideas and I will say no if the terms aren’t good.
I’ve already turned down money from several people for investments into startup ideas and for marketing.
Law enforcement has people offer me money that won’t help me get off the street.
The money will just mess up my student loans and public assistance (welfare) case.
People say, that welfare recipients don’t want to work.
I applied for hundreds of jobs.
Anyone that wanted to hire me was immediately told by law enforcement not to hire me.
If you owned a company and real killers that work for law enforcement told you not to help me would you?
No one wants the drama.
I can show you receipts from several multi million dollar small businesses that paid me for web marketing.
When law enforcement told people to stop using me, they understandably dropped me because they didn’t want to deal with the drama.
I’m not saying all my clients.
Sometimes web marketing clients move on for other reasons.
I will say law enforcement chased away dozens of my web marketing clients and potential clients that would have generated a lot of money.
I’m making the best of it.
Here I am at Baruch College CUNY making the best of the situation.
Law enforcement is running one scam after the next on me at school.
A very nice person that works at Baruch College asked me if I wanted to be introduced to a business contact.
I politely and respectfully said no.
I’m not networking, contacting, or interacting with anyone from Baruch College CUNY outside of school.
There are plenty of people that I can try and do business with that I don’t have to be concerned about them running back to Baruch College CUNY to get me in trouble.
One advantage for me about being homeless is that almost nothing embarrasses me anymore.
I’ll pick up the phone and call anyone to try and create a new business contact.
I don’t need any introductions—-especially from Baruch College CUNY.
I alway treat everyone at Baruch College CUNY with the utmost respect at all times.
I don’t care if someone worth $10,000,000,000. would like to do business with me, if I meet them at Baruch College CUNY the answer is no.
I treat everyone respectfully that goes to Baruch College and that I meet at Baruch College—although I never interact with anyone from Baruch College or that I meet at Baruch College outside of school.
People that know me can’t believe that I’m about 8 classes away from graduating from Baruch College while living in the street homeless.
I didn’t get this far by taking chances or participating in risky behavior.
If I told half the things that law enforcement does to me people wouldn’t believe how sophisticated the ambushes and scams can be.
I call law enforcements scams—million or billion dollars scams.
Thank you and have a great day.
Mark Pine
Note:
People I know pay New York City law enforcement to harass me.
If anyone has any ideas how I can legally get law enforcement to stop harassing me every day please let me know.
NYC law enforcement has people that know me send me nasty emails to my Baruch College and personal email trying to pick fights with me.
I just ignore them or respond respectfully and politely.
New York City law enforcement has women and men in regular clothes harass me in Manhattan.
For example, they crash into me and shove their phones in my face.
In my opinion, New York City law enforcement goes into my email, social media, web accounts, etc., and sabotages the accounts and impersonates me.
Anyone who even thinks about helping me is contacted by New York City law enforcement and told not to help me or to help NYC law enforcement sabotage me more.
I don’t have a criminal record.
I don’t drink.
I don’t smoke or vape.
I don’t party.
I’m a journalism major at Baruch College CUNY in Manhattan, New York City.
My website, mark pine dot com, is hosted on the WordPress.com platform.
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 prefer to contact you about positive things happening at Baruch College.
I was minding my own business when the maintenance person approached me:
Once at the end of the hallway.
Once at the ledge.
If I see the maintenance team cleaning, I move out of the way or go to another floor.
Anytime a Baruch College maintenance person or security person approaches me in the hallway, I click the audio record button on my phone so there is never any confusion about how polite and respectful I am to all your staff.
Treating everyone at Baruch College CUNY politely and respectfully is rule number 1,2, and 3—in my opinion.
I always avoid confrontation and drama.
That’s why I’m 46, living in the street homeless for my entire 40’s, and don’t have a criminal record.
My goal is to make you and everyone else here proud of me one day and have a positive impact on CUNY and NYC.
I’m here to treat your staff, students, and professors with the utmost respect at all times regardless of how they treat me.
This week I just interviewed a few people for a journalism project that work at BIDs, Community Boards, Baruch College, etc.
I’m very happy for the opportunity, experience, and information I’m learning.
I feel like I’m working diligently, doing the right thing, and doors are about to open.
The first person I ever worked with in the city always told me to cover myself and that’s what I’m doing.
I was working on schoolwork all Spring Break.
I’m about 90% done with all my schoolwork for the semester.
There are students at all colleges that come back from Spring Break, get slammed with schoolwork, and are playing catch up until the end of the semester.
I don’t take a break.
I turn in homework that isn’t due for weeks.
This way when school starts it’s like I never left.
I completed approximately 30 hours of homework and studying or more without any pressure of due dates that a percentage of students won’t even touch until after Spring Break.
It’s not a competition.
I credit my experience providing web marketing services for companies to my success strategies at Baruch College.
The information I’m learning at Baruch College is excellent.
It’s clear why so many people thrive after graduation.
Please let me know if you require any additional information from me.
The semester, Spring 2023, has one month left after Spring Break.
I’m done with the majority of my work for all my classes.
I’m going to get as much work as possible done during Spring Break too.
I was providing web marketing services for people, minding my own business.
People I know paid law enforcement and still pay them to chase away my clients and try to take everything from me.
That’s why I went to college at 46 years old.
I have been living in the street homeless for 7 years with law enforcement harassing me.
I don’t drink. I don’t do drugs. I don’t have a criminal record. I don’t date.
NYC law enforcement runs one scam after the next on me at Baruch College.
It’s daily abuse.
I just keep my mouth closed.
I take the abuse at Baruch College and just play along.
It’s what I’ve been doing for the past 3 years.
I don’t care if someone from Baruch College, student, staff, professor, etc. pours a can of paint on my head, throws all my belongings out the window, etc., I can care less.
I’m less than 10 classes away from graduation.
My GPA this semester is going to be between 2.1 and up.
I don’t care what my GPA is.
It’s a miracle that I’m able to go to school without any money.
Law enforcement has Baruch College staff, professors, and students running one scam after the next on me at Baruch College.
I just play along.
I’m polite and respectful to everyone.
When Baruch College students harass me I just ignore them.
When Baruch College staff and professors run scams on me I just respond respectfully and politely.
I don’t blame anyone for running scams on me on behalf of law enforcement.
It can’t be denied that I’m 1 degree of separation away from many powerful members of law enforcement in New York and other states.
I’m making the best of it.
I don’t care what happens or how disrespectfully I’m treated at Baruch College, I’m just going to continue to take the abuse and graduate.
Law enforcement sends one person after the next to try and pick fights with me at Baruch College and everywhere else I go.
Law enforcement also sends me ridiculous emails from people at Baruch College trying to pick fights with me.
I just play along and respond politely and respectfully.
Law enforcement had a few Baruch College female students try and seduce me or hook up with me at Baruch College and outside Baruch College.
I just ignored them.
The only option I have is to ignore all the scams NYC law enforcement keeps sending at me.
That’s what I’ve been doing and that’s what I will continue to do.
I never mention a word about law enforcement or anything of this nature to anyone at Baruch College.
If it wasn’t for the New York Courts — law enforcement would have had me tossed out of Baruch College.
The only reason I’m still able to get an education at The City University of New York is thanks to the New York Courts.
CUNY is great just not when law enforcement is running around behind the scenes running their usual tricks and scams.
Law enforcement also runs the same scams on me at HRA and other government agencies too.
I still treat everyone at HRA with the utmost respect at all times. They saved my life.
I would have starved to death if it wasn’t for HRA.
