Reply to the Attorney General

Dear Mr Bleijie
I received your letter dated 27 November 2013 on the afternoon of Friday 29 November 2013.  I would like to address your concerns that you have raised and in my opinion clearly my rights as an individual to speak freely is now under attack and threat by you.  Your interpretation of my opinion is just that an interpretation, I have not stated any of the items which you wish to be removed as fact, it is purely my opinion.   
Everything is open to interpretation and we as people will always interpret things differently.  One could interpret that your letter is a threat to stop me from finding the truth and justice for our son.  In saying that it may well be interpreted that way by any intelligent person, but only you as the writer can answer that with honesty. 
Under this threat you have requested that I remove certain items from my blog site which I am at this point unwilling to do.  However, I will endeavour to seek legal advice at my earliest convenience and make my decision after receiving such advice.
I find it amusing that you would underline my question “Who is Michael Barnes? God help any young student who googles the question who is Michael Barnes? And God save our children in social studies classes in the future who may dare ask who is Jarrod Bleijie?  But don’t worry rest assured I won’t ask.   
I note that you have clearly spent a lot of time reviewing my blog site as you have stated in your letter on page 1 paragraph 2.  I have previously sent you 2 letters on 3 June 2013 & 30 September 2012 regarding my son’s death where you stated you were unable to help at the time as the Coronial inquest needed to take place.  The Coronial inquest is now over and I would now officially ask that you investigate and review the entire case thoroughly as a whole.  After investigating all of the countless inconsistencies of this case I would ask you as first law officer of the state to overturn the Coroner’s findings or bring pressure to bear on the appropriate government body to do so to allow a jury to decide whether Officer Thomas Hess acted within the law when he shot and killed my son.
Yours Faithfully


Stephen Protheroe
