See What I'm Saying

-

I received some e-mails from people that were concerned and wanted to know if I was about to stop blogging. So this blog is in response to those e-mails and to offer some clarity on the post where I was apologizing. I may have offended some people with this blog, and that's bound to happen. Instead of sitting back, plotting and looking for ways to come after me they need to be focused on more serious issues. When I said that I was being targeted, I meant what I said. There were several other people in court with me that night and I believe that almost everyone of us, with the exception of the ones that paid their fines that night, were given 30 days to pay their fines. There's over $500,000 in tickets and fines on the books here in Lumberton, MS. There was no round-up to get everyone that owed fines/tickets which means that someone had to specifically pull my file, get it to the judge and have him to sign a warrant for me to be arrested for failure to pay the fine on a ticket that was assessed just 2 weeks ago. If it was that easy to deal with collection of tickets then why haven't Judge Stewart enacted this policy before the city became bogged down with non-payment of fines and tickets; and why was there a collection attorney addressing the board last month looking to get paid $300-700/month to collect tickets? Since this is the new way of getting fines paid, then have a round up every week to collect old fines. But since this was not about clearing the books but another effort to build a case against me, then I guess that's not going to happen. Hey, at least the City of Lumberton can scratch off my fines and now that leaves them with $549,000 in uncollected fines. But I guess I should look for a silver lining in all of what took place and I can say that not all cops working in Lumberton are crooks and I learned that while having handcuffs placed on my wrists. (Side-note: I don't know why people think handcuffs are good for the bedroom because there was nothing sexy about being handcuffed.) I guess I should let it blow over and count it as a part of my past, but I just have a feeling that I'm still being targeted. I better read up on my lease because if the people I'm dealing with are as dirty as I think they are, that will be their next step. Also, I was brushing up on state laws in case someone tries to have charges filed against me for cyber harassment or cyber stalking. I read over Mississippi Law 97-45-15 to make sure I wasn't in violation of state laws. The penalties for violation of Mississippi's Cyber-Harassment (Stalking) are quite severe, but in order to be convicted, the person must be in violation of a restraining order. There were some additional circumstances listed, but they didn't apply to me. For a minute I became concerned, but then I finally read section 3 of the law and it stated that "this section does not apply to any peaceable, nonviolent, or nonthreatening activity intended to express political views or to provide lawful information to others. This section shall not be construed to impair any constitutionally protected activity, including speech, protest or assembly."
Enjoy your weekend and be safe!

    Bobby Gibson is walking around Lumberton looking like the living dead. Michael Jackson was paying $150,000/month for rest and he still couldn't get any sleep. Bobby lied to get our votes and if he wants to put an end to the mess he created he has only one thing to do and that is to vote to fire Hobson and rest will come.

FY Budget 2015: Pills and Potions

-

I called this post the pills and potions edition because after looking at the budget that was presented; it's obvious this board is overdosing on something. I can't tell where any real cuts were made to the budget; it seems the same. The fact that the board paid Richard Rose $1, 600 to prepare this budget is a joke. Why do we have a city clerk if she cannot prepare a budget? What is she doing all day other than reading the Lumberton Informer or thinking of her next lie? The board claimed that Richard Rose was doing this out of the goodness of his heart, that he knew the City of Lumberton was not in a position to pay him. So, rather than charging the normal going rate for an embattled city manager that was allegedly terminated for not reporting to work and other matters; Rose decided he will charge the fiscally challenged City of Lumberton a mere $1,600 and a motorcycle. Now, keep in mind, the board never voted to hire Richard Rose but somehow, he received a check and a moto

Kim Rogers: A Phenomenal Woman

I've always said that I don't offer balance throughout this blog. It seems that most of the focus is placed on the bad things or more gossipy topics, but I think today is a good day to give credit where credit is due. I know she don't do what she do for attention or accolades but I would like to tip my hat to Mrs. Kim Rogers, founder of the KeKe B Foundation. Kim, like many other women of our community, is a testament to the power of hop, courage and resilience of a loving mother. I don't know how she does it but she has chosen to take a stand when others would have buckled under pressure. Her dedication and courage has touched so many people in so many ways. The work she's doing through the KeKe B Foundation will be a beacon for many generations to come and the she many never realize the impact her courage has made in the lives of others. But despite it all, she is still pressing forward. Kim does not want another parent to experience what she had to experience

Stealing Elections: Lumberton Style

Last night when I went to the Ben Barrett Voting Center to watch the counting of the vote, I entered the building about 10 minutes before the polls closed and the picture above is what I saw. Throughout the day, many people expressed their concerns that the poll workers didn't match the demographics of the City of Lumberton. I shrugged it off after someone texted me, assuring me that the election was going to be fair. Well, that was not the case. Later in the day, a voter came to me with evidence that the votes had been compromised. They gave me two torn affidavit ballots that were torn up and thrown in the trash in the women's restroom at the voting center. Interesting. There was another person that came to me about the conversation they overheard between Cora Rogers and her mother, Voncile Richardson. It seems that Ms. Voncile wanted to cast a vote for me but her daughter, Cora Rogers, instructed her to mark the ballot for Kent Crider. Interesting. Last
