Cagle Gives Barrett the Finger...

...and you can see it happen, thanks to YouTube:



Note how Barrett's camera tilts over toward the table, right after you see Cagle's finger approaching his chest. Too bad this is a "point of view" video... a camera view off to the side would have been much more conclusive in terms of evidence. But then, there are also eyewitnesses at the scene who attest that Barrett got poked in the chest by the lawyer, so that oughtta count for something. Watch the video, and judge for yourself.

(More to come later this afternoon... lotsa technical problems slowed me down Saturday, but I will get more stuff posted later today.)

I watchted the tape and saw no sign of assault. If there had been any force someone would have to draw back there hand. What I did see was someone trying to get attention by coming down the hallway hollering at no one but a little old lady trying to get out the door. Bless her heart. It was so obvious that WAB was putting on a show since Cagle wasn't even in the building. It looked to me that you were frightening innocent citizens and that you owe someone an apology!

I just saw the tape. It's funny how Mr. Barrett asks Norman a question Cagle jumps in and Norman splits. Also Cagle admits he punched Mr. Barrett after he is told there are witnesses. Also, the question was wether or not the school board had them arrested. The complaintant is the one that has someone arrested. It is the police and DA that bring the charges. So yes, Gonzo had them arrested and he was the chairman of the board.
It's funny how some will question Mr. Barrett and his reporting but they're the same ones that will watch the reporters from CNN video taping an insurgent's view of them shooting our troops.

Well, I did learn one thing by watching that video and reading these posts...The definition of WAB truly is "idiot". Boy, what a trouble maker! Cagle didn't poke WAB, he was just using his hand to make a point. The video clearly shows that Cagle did not do anything harmful to Barrett. Maybe the stupidity didn't rub off on Cagle when he touched WAB...

I'm sorry that I did not make myself clear -- yes, a poke and a hit are pretty similar. I'm so thankful that WAB caught the whole incident on video so everyone can see what a trouble-making idiot he is. The whole world can now see that the jerk was gently PATTED on the chest. WAB kept provoking the lawyer -- wanting him to "HIT" him again. Does he think that the public is stupid??? What an ass. I think that the lawyer should file harassment charges against WAB, if anyone should file anything at all.
What an ass. What an ass.

To Einstein who said-

Yes, you made yourself perfectly clear in the first post when you quoted the definition of POKE from the dictionary. According to you and the dictionary a POKE is a HIT. Oops, that did'nt sound right so lets change it to a PAT. What an idiot you are. My dictionary says a pat is a gentle tap or stroke with a flat surface, so now I guess Mr. Cagle was stroking Mr. Barrett's chest. Here's an idea, tomorrow when you walk into your government job, how about patting the first lady you see on the ass. There's nothing wrong with it according to you. That's the problem with people such as yourself. You dig a hole and instead of admitting you were wrong you just keep digging. I guess Mr. Barrett should have read the fine print, "These are the rules of our government and the rules of our school board, these rules shall not be altered in any way for any reason. Please note these rules are subject to change without notice." And according to the lawyer employeed by the school board and his explaination of the legality of the sunshine law, if I commit a crime and confess to it before I am convicted in court then the crime goes away and it was'nt really a crime after all.

Well, I've never personally called WAB an idiot although I've had my suspicions for a good while.
I think the county's atorney needs to look into the true definition of a "reporter" and have everyone (well, most everyone) arrive at a clear understanding of what the job entails. I thought a reporter was one who worked for a news organization that had public circulation. If a website constitutes "public" circulation, then those without access to the internet are being discriminated against. Should that be investigated?
As for Mr. Cagle "punching" the "reporter", I rather doubt that he did. But most of us know how one can be provoked by someone like WAB, don't we?

A news/journalist reporter (as opposed to a court reporter) is a person who obtains/edits/writes/broadcasts for mass media. These are not all inclusive, you can do one without doing any of the others.
Radio, television, newspapers, periodicals, and world wide web, - all are considered mass media and all utilize reporters. It has nothing to do with 'circulation'. Anyone has as much right to be considered for a reporters/journalists job as anyone else. You're not required by law to have a license or a degree.

Gee it looked clear to me and the sound was clear. Barret was talking to Norman when Cagle interjected himself into the conversation. When he ran out of thoughts he got physical. Now did Cagle assault Barret by poking him or did he sexually harass him by patting his chest. Seems to me either way was way over the line on Cagles part.

Blogger J. Kendrick McPeters said...

It seems to me that, if we are reduced to debating whether WAB was "poked" or "patted," then the question of assault is settled... as either an unwelcome "poke" or a "pat" qualifies as an assault.

Secondly, does anyone seriously believe that if the tables were turned, Cagle would not claim assault? Suppose that Cagle had been talking to Mrs. Norman, and WAB had charged into the discussion, taken it over, and "patted" the lawyer in the chest to emphasize his point? Is it not obvious that Cagle would claim assault, especially having witnesses that would back up his claim?

Thirdly, check out the double standard. The same people that tried to IMPRISON Mr. Barrett for speaking for about ten seconds before a meeting was recessed, now claim that he is making a mountain out of a molehill for claiming assault. Well, I say, live by the zero tolerance sword; die by the zero tolerance sword.

Finally, what a scumbag. This pathetic excuse for a lawyer makes his living by helping [cough, ahem] public servants get away with as little public service as they can possibly deliver. Two years ago, it was advising that "public meetings are not meetings with the public" and thus, the public has no right to speak at them. And now, this blood sucking parasite is offering a Clintonian spin that "private meetings don't break the Sunshine Law as long as you get caught and publicly repent!"

Why is the the taxpayer's money being flushed away to cut checks for this slimy shyster??? If it came out of Tee's and Kathy's own pockets, then it would still be disgraceful, but at least wouldn't involve raping the taxpayer. But we all know for sure THAT isn't happening, don't we?

Wow, what interesting posts. I have been quite entertained yet embarrassed too. I feel that most of the posts on here are most likely from friends of Ms. Norman, or other board members. Mr. Barrett is trying to show the disease spreading throughout our school board, and unfortunatley, not enough of the general tax -paying public go to the meetings to see what "Really" goes on. Mr. Barrett attempts to show us, and is treated like a pauper, as is the majority of the citizens in Giles County. I KNOW that the general public wouldn't write about Mr. Barrett the way I have read above, so I'm sure it's TT's little group bashing Mr. Barrett here.
Keep up the good work Mr. Barrett. WE need more like you out there who aren't intimidated by two or three tyrants up there on the hill.

Yep. That's exactly what he is doing.

I say he is preventing this county from progressing.

So you think that graft and corruption is equivalent to progress? You think that politicians should muzzle citizens who attend meetings? Well, you're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine. And my opinion is, if you really believe that WAB is standing in the way of "progress," then you are a nitwit.

His mission is not to cover, but to disrupt.

How is asking for an extra two minutes of time a disruption? How is trying to force elected officials to obey the law a disruption?

And how, specifically, did WAB "disrupt" the property committee meeting that he covered? What, precisely, was "disrupted" when he investigated the working conditions in the school bus garage?

The truth is, you are an apologist for corruption. And since you can't poke any holes in the substance of Mr. Barrett's message, you resort to the cheap shot of "shooting the messenger."

That's typical behavior of the parasites who worship government as their God. Tax increases equal money in your pockets, so you villify anyone who opposes high taxes and wasteful spending. Maybe someday you will unplug yourself from the taxpayer's jugular, and realize that WAB was right all along. But I doubt it. That would require intelligence and introspection, and so far, you've not exhibited either of these traits.

Not anything? If it weren't for me, there'd be no outlet for FREE SPEECH in Giles County. I think that counts for something. I also stopped zoning dead in it's tracks in the early 90's, and managed Giles Collier's successful campaign for County Exec. Right now, I am involved in a lawsuit that will, if we get a hearing before an honest judge, strike down the misbegotten "land use management" plan which was illegally passed in 2003.

So what have you accomplished, sport?

except for to remind us of his High School days.

My high school days? I only mentioned them, to counter the claim that I was stupid. Scoring in the top 4/10 of a percent, means that I am not, by any rational standard, stupid.

And if you are tired of my mentioning high school, maybe you'd like to hear that I was co-captain of Martin College's most successful scholastic bowl team of all time. We were the smallest college at a regional competition held in Rome, Georgia... and we beat all comers, bringing home the big silver trophy. (Has this happened again in the last twenty years... nope.)

Get a job!

I made a promise, to my father on his deathbed, that I would take care of my mother after he was gone. Ergo, I have a full time job right now... taking care of my almost completely invalid mother. If it wesn't for me, she would have to be placed in a nursing home... which is something I specifically promised my father would not happen, as long as I was alive.

At any rate, while I have to be with my mother round the clock, I don't have to wait on her continuously. With the time I have to myself, I have launched an online newspaper, and developed a new way to build with poured concrete. These diversions may not require me to punch a timeclock, but, in time, they will wind up earning me a profit. And then, you can just shut your trap about me not having a job.

So what if you give WAB two minutes or four minutes. He never brings anything constructive to the meetings.

Exposing lawbreaking by elected officials is NOT constructive? Why not?

If he did, then he would be treated differently; possibly even with respect.

Not by the lawbreakers he exposes... not in a million years!

I'll guarantee you if he had a positive approach, he would get results.

You mean, if he would "go along to get along," the corrupt people would embrace him? And what exactly would that accomplish?

But since he chooses to act like an idiot, he is treated like an idiot.

Members of the school board -- a majority, in fact -- break the law on a regular basis. What is "idiotic" about opposing their lawlessness? In case you haven't heard, the price of liberty is eternal vigilence. Mr. Barrett is vigilant. Are you?

At the school board mtg. Murrey questioned whether having Norman in on each evaluation constituted a violation of Sunshine Law, which she thought it did. Atty. Cagle's explanation was that even if it was a violation the fact that they were having this current meeting "cures the violation". Guess that means if someone drives drunk (which is illegal) but the next time he drives sober (which is legal) the sober time wipes out the drunk time. In that case noone would have to be arrested for anything!?!?

Why do you think Mr. Jackson is where he is today, and why do you think that you and WAB are where you are today? It is because Mr. Jackson is honorable, and knows how to get things done, while you guys know how to get a handful of loudmouths to make noise.

He is still here because Giles County pays for a very sly lawyer for him, and he knows how to work the public! It seems he has a bunch of folks fooled. Why in the world would he have needed another contract when his old one was not even close to expiring? Jim Greene hit the nail on the head when he said it would take control out of the school boards hands-did you people not understand that-Tee Jackson now has a signed and sealed contract until 2012 and he can do what he darn well pleases!
I wonder how many more mistruths and misrepresentations he can make in that amount of time?
I guess now I have to go back and tell my children it is now okay to go ahead and do whatever and it will be okay if you just come and tell me later.

No contract allows fraud. Remember the word, "FRAUD". In the end, it will take him and several others down, just like it and a few similar activities changed the lives of several other local and state "untouchables". Hate to say it, but he and a couple of others deserve a period of rest & deliberation from their obsessions of power and grandeur. Free meals & lodging, a library, TV, in a place they can't leave when they want to!

Anonymous, the post I deleted did not contain the phrase "GD." What it did contain was graphic sexual commentary that was totally out of place on this blog, and which was not necessary to make any point the author was attempting to make.

i guess you are like the people at the board meeting,if the truth is stated about you and you dont like it youll shut em down,

As a matter of fact, I am nothing like the Kool-Aid drinkers on the school board. And, so far as I can tell, the post I deleted was not directed at me, but at Anonymous of February 12, 2007 10:50:03 PM. He's the one who first mentioned "poor dumb hillbillies," and the deleted post seemed to be in response to his.

Sir, you don't have freedom of speech on MY blog. The Free Speech Zone exists for MY freedom of speech, which I generously share with anyone who is willing to follow the barest minimum of guidelines (such as no obscenity).

If you, poor deluded fool that you are, feel oppressed by my minimal rules, then you are quite welcome to start your own blog, where you can curse away to your heart's content.

Frankly, I think the recent rash of bad language is likely the work of "disruptors." I note that a lot of the profanity is coming from posters that claim to support WAB. But I think what is really going on, is the Kool Aid drinkers are posting bad language here, in order to make WAB and his supporters look crude and uncouth. I think their overall goal is to drive the easily offended, away from this blog... which, if this cursing epidemic continues, may very well happen.

Incidentally, if anyone wants to have a copy of the post that I truncated, just email me -- mcpeters@usit.net -- and I will gladly send you a copy. Then you can judge for yourself just how heavy my hand of censorship, really is. Thanks.

I just read the article about the recent school board meeting. It's on the front page of the local paper.
The article states that Kathy Norman abruptly adjourned the meeting when "reporter" Barrett called Mr. Jackson an "unbelievable low-down liar". Can you believe that?
Mrs. Norman was well within her rights to adjourn a meeting that truly was about to get completely out of hand. Who in their right mind could blame her?
Now, as for Mr. Barrett. I thought he never called anyone names? Or was the newspaper printing a falsehood? I seriously doubt it.

Hello there little blog family! Seems to be alot of hostility on here what the heck is going on?The last comment better be careful in how you use words that mean the same as urinate.Well anyway on with my question. I would like to know about the comments made about the bus barn garage, are the comments true or are they annul.If the bus barn garage has been condemned why do we still has county workers in there as if nothing is wrong.For you that dont know being condemned means several things,{To judge or declare to be unfit for use or consumption,usually by official order}OR{To declare legally appropriated for public use under the right of eminent domain]. Tell me Pulaski folks does anyone agree that old place should be up for bid! It has already past the stage of condemnation hasn't it? Why is this blog the only place you read about it? If this matter of condemnation was in today's paper I failed to see it,and if thats so, why is it not published? One other thing that I dont understand is why the people of Pulaski just sit back and let people run over us.We have got a man, {Tee Jackson} up on that hill taking our money putting it into renovation projects,on the palace he has up there knowing that he is going to have a new building built, why must we stand around with finger in butt and do nothing.The money that he wastes up on his hill should go to a much needed bus barn.But we still say nothing and nothing is exactly what is getting done.And why do we let him build on to that old bus barn and waste even more mony?The only reason that is being done is because the insurance company said they would no longer insure that barn if something wasnt done.How could or why would an insurance company want to insure something of such poor quality anyway?Well if anyone has anything they can fill me in on,I would really be greatful.And if anyone has anything to ad to this matter it maybe in the future will do some good.

He never called Tee Jackson a liar, his statement was, "You either owe us an apology and an apology to the rest of the citizens of Giles County or you are an unbelievable, lowdown liar."

Now if you actually read what he says correctly you will see Tee Jackson has a choice of either apoligizing for the actions of the school board to Mr. Barrett, Mr. Winkles and the citizens of Giles County or labling himself as a liar. Well we all know there was no apology, so that only leaves Tee Jackson admiting he is a liar. Admission by the fact he remained silent, Noman had to step in and stop the madness before he really stuck his foot in his mouth.

I do not see anywhere on this site where Mr. McPeters has flip flopped he has stood steadfast on what he believes so far. As far as free speech, no matter where you go you can always say anything you want, people don't have to listen, some may not even want to listen, but your always free to say it. What you say may get you arrested, sued or even attacked, but your still free to say anything you want. As far as deleting posts on this blog I appreciate him doing so, if people control themselves and not post smut there would be no need for any posts to be deleted. Although we have freedom of speech there is also a little thing, that is not so common anymore, called common decency, and respect for others. I do not use words that some have used on here and I do not appreciate it when others use them in my presence either. No matter where you go standards have been set, even her on this blog. I believe Mr. McPeters has been very lenient with his so fair, but enough is enough. Mr. McPeters has offered to email to anyone who wants to read them, the posts he has deleted. He doesn't have to keep this site going, he is trying to give people a place to sound off without getting any repercussion while also making others aware of things going on in the county.
It must of been some of your posts that were deleted for you to attack him the way you have. There are several posts on here from others asking you and anyone who like you posts smut to please refrain from doing so we do not want to read garbage. I for one thank him for deleting trash talk, it accomplishes nothing but to make the poster seem to lack intelligence.
You ask him not judge someone and not let them judge you, in effect is that not what you are doing to him in return? Does he know who you are? Does he know anything about you other than what you posted and how you attacked him? That's a little like the pot calling the kettle black isn't it?

Question for Beverly Murrey or Jim Greene if you are out there in blog land.

Please provide this public information

1. Cost for Cagle to make trip to Pulaski to meeting.

2. Cost for Henry to attend meeting.

3. Who made the call that it was necessary for both attorneys to be present? (meaning who made the taxpayers pay for two stiff shirts at one meeting)

4. What is the total spent by the GC Bd of Ed in attorneys fees this past year broken down by attorney?

Thank you for answering these questions.

The public does have a right to know and in the absence of our local media asking the questions maybe this is the only means to get the answers out to the public.

To all of the NAY-SAYERS! You can cry all you like. It's quite odvious the D/A thinks it was assault. Way to go Mr. Barrett. Mr. Barrett can't go away. He has to show up in court, remember? Wonder if Cagle will bill the school system for his court time. I hope Cagle does'nt forget why he's there and try to sit in the wrong seat.

My question has never been answered. Does the Bible not teach us to turn the other cheek and pray for those who despitefully use us? I'm sure it does, and any "man of God" knows that to be true. Sounds like a great way to influence others and thereby gain new converts.

Mr. Barrett,
I think you should subpoena the negative comments on this blog…calling you all sorts of names and defaming you character. I bet most of them would be tied to the school board and the director. I already know one of them would be Mrs. Norman and that would give any jury the knowledge of their true hatred of you. Think about it.

Trimhed, Sounds like Mr. Barrett has been doing his homework and has found out a little bit more about Mr. Cagle. Sort of like when you find a dead person on the street. You radio in and tell them you have found a dead body. After a closer look you find out it was homicide. You charge the killer with murder. You investigate and find out the person did it intentionally. So you charge him with 1st Degree murder. Then you find out the murderer snuck up on him and killed him from behind. That's cold blooded murder. Later you find out he's done it before so now he's a mass murderer. That's how you go from a dead body to a mass murderer, pretty much the same applies when you go from a poke to a sucker punch. The more info you gather the more the truth comes out. Look back on the tape. Mr. Barrett was questioning Mrs. Norman before Mr. Cagle jumped in. Mrs. Norman knew she was wrong and high tailed it out of there. Mr. Cagle was not asked to join into the conversation by either party.

God was a little more blunt & to the point. Sodom & Gomora went poof along with Lot's wife. She wasn't helping, just just looking back. There was the flood. What happened when the bad guys tried to follow Moses, when the water parted. Little David whacked his big man with a little old sling shot. All kinds of famines, cleansing of sinful people, eyes poked out, & money changers scattered about a temple, all, says God will use his people to take down that which he doesn't like. If it isn't good and peaceful, make become good and peaceful??

Real bad things happened to priests who taught against the Law (coveting, false witness, idols, perversion, etc.). That function was the education process in that time - the same basic roles our infamous education bureaucracy runs today. I'm sure you know how precious children are in the eyes of God. Your actions & image portay a complete disregard for His teachings & His children. You know what is happening. However, you not only deny truth, you try to deceive and convince others that there is no corruption, and bear witness for evil.

Pray for you, yes. Pity you, yes. Ignore you, no! Follow you, no! Let you remain an icon for the children, NO! What you do will follow you, for that is your election. The prayer is to cast evil out, not embrace it or you. May your trip fit your circumstance (not our decision).

Glad to read the DA has signed a warrant against Attorney Cagle. Just reviewed the video again and it clearly shows Mr Barrett attempting to ask Mrs Norman a question in a very civilized manner. Cagle injects himself into the conversation, calls Mr Barrett an idiot and his hand comes forward for the poke/prod, whatever. Mrs Norman cuts out from the scene. When Barrett states to Cagle "you pushed me" his response is "fine" (twice). Now, putting all these personalities aside, if one of us was speaking to someone and another butts in, calls us a name then pushes, would we let that go, consider it "fine" and not an assault on our person? I don''t think so. Many may not agree with Mr Barrett and many may dislike him for whatever reason, but in this case he was clearly not at fault. Barrett has been called arrogant time after time but Cagle takes the cake.

You know what? The name-calling started way back with the anal buffoon thing. Wonder where that came from? Oh, but we don't need to guess, do we? Again, you are wrong about that.
We (those of my persuasion) are concerned with the "reporter" showing his rear end. He is becoming an embarrassment to his family and community. I hear the talk, don't you? His so-called "truths" are NOT and NEVER WERE the issue. But you would say we don't care about truth, right? Looks like his family would pull him aside and tell him that he needs to lighten up. They might get him into anger management classes. You know? And this has nothing to do with liking or disliking the man.
As for his "exposing" corruption and evil, I think people should just let him have his say to a degree and then maybe he will go off on another crusade. He has that right. But others have a right to disagree with his opinions and to challenge not only him but others who get on this blog and attempt to ruin those they dislike. That is shameful, and ought to stop.. Peaceful change can be accomplished without deliberately trying to belittle and humiliate others! Ask yourself one question: Who started all this?

Mr. Barrett has completed those requirements each time he has spoken, so, what is your problem? We’re already aware it is not the truth you are concerned with.

Why don't you sign your name and allow everyone to dig through all the comments and words you have spoken in your life and I am sure we could locate an anal buffoon moment, don’t you?

I read this blog on occasion and all I see is a bunch of spineless worms hiding behind the name anonymous and bashing Mr. Barrett. Then they defend themselves by saying I can't give my name I might be fired or threatened. We'll don't you think that if you're bashing Mr. Barrett you might get a promotion or even a raise. Mr. Barrett has always signed his post and has always been honest. Name one time that he has lied. I've seen this town lie to him, cheat him, steal from him and even treat him like a piece of dirt. As far as being embarrassed by him, I think not. Proud of him yes. If it would have been me that Cagle touched the way he did I would have punched him in the mouth. If I would have been wrongly arrested by the school board I would have sued. And when I'm eating in public with my family and Tee Jackson walks up and turns on the bull crap and acts like he's my best friend I'll be damned if I'll just sit there and smile. Mr. Barrett is the better man, when he looks at me or my son we know exactly who he is, he's not a fake or a suck up, he's my DAD!

Whatever you might think of Mr Barret he at least has the conviction of his beliefs to attach his name. You are and remain a coward. If you had some reason to fear your name being known it would be understandable but what do you have to fear. Mr Barret has no power over you and as you say "his" group is so small they have no power. If what you have said over and over is in support of the power moguls then it seems being identified would be rewarding for you. That leaves only that you are simply afraid and do not have the convictions or proof of your own statements. You are so critical of Mr Barret and anyone else who has a different opinion than you but the truth is you are what you claim them to be.
