A year ago today, around this time of day in fact, Charisma, my disabled brother’s medically-fragile ESA cat, was freed from a closed-off room devoid of food and water, where she was presumably left to die by the person who stole her from her human, a disabled man, after illegally evicting that man from their shared residence, and lied to us and even law enforcement of her whereabouts when we and they attempted to make contact to retrieve her. This was in addition to numerous additional crimes and atrocities committed against that man: theft, extortion, emotional distress, and numerous physical assaults (some of which were caught on camera and have been previously published on this blog).
On that day, that person, Carmine Salvatore Yusko Fioravanti, of Philadelphia (south Philly, to be more precise), a rough 26 years of age (a life of crime, addiction, and general shady behavior will do that to a person), learned the hard way that it’s not in one’s best interest to be a monstrous human being to other humans, to abuse and attempt to kill a cat, and to lie to individuals as well as law enforcement about the whereabouts and condition of that cat. And ever since it has been an ongoing delivery of karma to encourage him to be a better person. So far, he has shown no visible interest in changing his ways, but there’s always a glimmer of hope that a human being capable of evil is also capable of good (the other glimmers of hope we have are not suitable to put into writing for a broad audience, so we won’t).
We would also like to think Carmine Salvatore Yusko Fioravanti learned that sometimes, it really is in one’s best interest to just take the money – the easy $100 cash we offered to personally deliver to him at a public location in exchange for him handing over Charisma. He would have been $100 richer, he’d still be without the cat we rescued from him regardless of his refusal to cooperate or just be a decent human being, he wouldn’t have been evicted from his own rental house that was turned upside down (and allegedly ransacked by other homeless/vulnerable individuals when they came to retrieve their property he had also stolen from them, too), the cops wouldn’t have found his substances, this blog probably wouldn’t exist to tell the world about who he really is (which in turn has saved several would-be victims, including young adult women, from his predatory ways), we wouldn’t have made some great connections with other individuals who have been victimized by him and/or know people who have been victimized by him, and he certainly wouldn’t have multiple people following his illegal activities and making the appropriate reports to the appropriate agencies in unrelenting determination to bring him to justice.
Sometimes, karma really is a cat. We love you, Charisma!
