Now. . .That's Entertainment!?

-

There is still talk about the events that took place last week. Some are still basking in the entertainment they provided while others want to know what it's going to take before this mess come to an end. Over there weekend, many of the people involved went about their daily routines without a second thought of the events that took place on Wednesday and Thursday of last week. Some people may have been satisfied with how things went down; there are some that feel they have a better chance in the court of street justice that in the Lumberton Municipal Court System--where you're fined if you innocent or guilty; especially if your of the wrong demographic. Nevertheless, while other's are allowing their residence to be turned into the ground zero for the MMA matches that are seemingly taking place every week, they have yet to feel the quake of their poor decisions. So many of these young girls spend a lot of time and money to get emancipated so they can get their own apartment, but instead of focusing on emancipation, they may need to spend a little more time on education. For instance, those living in the apartments of Frank Lee Homes need to read their leases; especially Section G, Section XV, and Section K (paragraphs 1-3). So, when those that traveled near and far to see the street fights, it more than likely that in the coming weeks, those that participated may be fighting in another arena--the Lamar County Judicial System. I'm not talking about those that were actually in the hand to hand combat (more than likely, those guys aren't going to press charges despite the fact that some cowardly men chose to bring guns and knives to a fist fight); I'm speaking of those that may have inadvertently involved themselves in this ordeal because their friends and/or family may have been involved. For those that did not know, there are provisions in the lease that states that you are responsible for your guest. That means your homie, your lover, your family and your friend. It does not matter if they're in your apartment or hanging out on the green transformer boxes, if they're coming in and out of your apartment, you are responsible for the behavior. So, when the smoke clears, and everyone returns to their homes, you're left with the burden of proving that you were not involved. Now how's that for entertaining?

    You accused LPD of harassing this area because they were patrolling it more than other areas in the city. Careful what you ask for, they may not be there when you need them the most...Now you want to see them patrolling this area more and now you think they need more officers,wow you need to make up your mind. I don't blame those officers, I would take my time getting there after the way you have talked about their department on this blog...if they do get some new officers that are willing to do their job, you'll be dogging them for doing it, just like you did Byrd...just sayin

      First of all, Byrd was not and still is not a certified police officer. The only officers that have been targeted in this blog are those that are not doing their jobs and those that are abusing their authority. Sorry that your feelings were hurt b/c your girlfriend was the brunt of most of the post. There are several officers on duty in the City of Lumberton and most of them have not been mentioned in the blog because they're doing their job. But it's comments like the one you posted that make me appreciate the LVDF even more because despite the things that has been said against Jerry Walters and his crew, they have still remained professional and responded to calls in every area of this town. If any officers take their time getting to any emergency situation that's something they're going to have to deal with, but if they were to take such a stance, it would only prove what I've been saying all along. BTW. . good police officers are generally not blogged about so maybe that's why you're confused and think that my continued reference to one bad apple is spoiling the bunch.

FY Budget 2015: Pills and Potions

-
Image
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 ...
