Trying to make trouble for the counselor!

My last post discusses what Larry's counselor said to him and how it makes us all feel better knowing that someone understands. Today, Larry is back with the regular population at Coffee Creek intake facility and his counselor came over and spoke with him again, for the fourth time. First was their original meeting where I told of the things he told Larry, then when he gave him the messages about my call, he then went again to check on him and told him that very few people make a lasting impression on him, but Larry is one he said he will not soon forget. So, today when he met with him it was because I made a comment on facebook about how nice it was to have the counselor understand that Larry doesn't belong there and how the counselor had made the comment about Larry getting a raw deal. Well, someone from Burns called the prison to complain about the counselor 'taking sides'! How ridiculous is that? They told him that a man in his position should stand behind 'we the people'. So I guess he is not supposed to have an opinion when someone with no criminal history, that has passed a lie detector test, and tests as a non threatening person comes in for a long measure 11 stay. Larry asked me to just be more careful who I say what to.
I believe it is ridiculous for anyone to spend their time looking at my facebook page to see what my family is up to after Larry has been sentenced. The only thing I hope is that it is because that person must be loosing sleep at night because of their own guilty conscience and then gets up to check my facebook. If it was such an open and shut case as many of 'those' people would have others believe, they would close the book once he was sentenced right? I would think if I knew so much about something and was confident in the sentence being the right thing, I would be done after the sentence. I think it is real sad that people can't just leave well enough alone, and to call to attempt to get the counselor into trouble is really pathetic!
The one thing is, the counselor did say he is still entitled to his opinion, he just will be more careful with sharing it from now on. So, if somehow the person trying to cause trouble has access to this page (which I would hope it is not someone I trust enough to let on), I would say to them "you didn't accomplish anything, he still thinks Larry got a raw deal"!
Ok, so now I will apologize for ranting, it is just people like this that like to keep salt in our wounds that truly get under my skin! I am trying so hard to forgive all of them it is just so hard when they keep the drill on to tighten the screws they have us tied down with!
