Arresting Behavior

-
I just heard that there are some, but it's probably more like one or two, that are upset about the actions of the Lumberton Police Department. According to what I heard, there were some adults that were asked to leave from a particular location (Myrick and North 10th Street). There are some that brought up this an a violation of the Curfew Ordinance. Well, when Hobson was serving as Chief of Police, I had to learn the laws. There was an incident on Myrick a couple of years ago, and serveral individuals were taken to jail. Why? Because they disobeyed a lawful order. The police said to leave and they refused to do so. This resulted in them going to jail. If you are loitering on a corner, in a residential area, the police have the right to tell you to leave. If you fail to comply, you are in violation of a lawful order. The City of Lumberton does have a curfew ordinance and it does not apply to anyone over the age of 18. Howver, a police officer can tell you to leave a particular area. That's considered a lawful order. Whether you agree or not, you must comply to a lawful order or you could be arrested. This is just another reminder that elections have consequences. Those that voted want and more active police department and they don't want to deal with those loitering on corners. Either this police department is going to crack down on those violating the peaceful enjoyment of others; or we will get a group that will. I hope this information was helpful. Auf Wiedersehen!

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

-
Image
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 ...
