Are some psychiatrists, like Stuart Shipko, quacks? |
However, when asked by the investigating Pasadena Police officer on the scene, Officer J.M. Longoria, who might have sent the threatening e-mails to him, Dr. Shipko oddly told the officer that he "normally does not bother law enforcement" about such matters, which suggests he gets these sorts of threats and harassments a lot from the general public, but he said he called the police on that particular instance because he was not familiar with the name of the person who sent the alleged threatening e-mails.
Shipko's reasoning on calling the police is quite bizarre on several levels, given the fact it's much easier for the police to arrest someone sending harassing e-mails, if they had a clue or knew who that person was, but Dr. Shipko claims he doesn't call the police if he knows who is threatening him. Very strange. This also suggests that Dr. Shipko often believes, deep down inside, that he deserves the verbal abuse and criticisms heaped up on him from his dissatisfied clientele.
