One Charge Dismissed Another Investigation Starts

"One Charge Dismissed, Another Investigation Starts" was a headline from the "Pulaski Citizen" front page.
The article reports that the charges against Mr. Clay McAlister of destroying my political signs has been dismissed. The charges were dismissed after the video that was in the possession of the police department turned up with a section missing. Fortunately that section was viewed by Lt. Glossup prior to it being locked up in evidence and he reported what was on the disc. I never claimed that anyone altered the disc and all I have said is that there was footage on there the night Lt. Glossup viewed it and the next day only blue sky was seen in that section. I never made any claim as to what happened to the disc or how it happened. The TBI was unable to confirm 100% that the disc was altered or that the prints on the signs were those of Mr. McAlister thus the charges were dismissed.
Of all those police officers who have been actively involved in this activity Lt. Glossup has continually shown the most integrity and professionalism and is deserving of praise not a continued harassment because he bucked a system where the well connected are protected and given special privilege.

There is no enabler of evil here. The REAL evil lies in willfully trying to stir up trouble and strife in our community. A perhaps lesser evil would be insane jealousy and resentment toward those who are in positions of authority. A self-disciplined person should be able to keep those qualities to himself. In other words, one could be jealous and resentful without stirring up trouble.
No thanks. I'm happy in my own skin and have absolutely no desire to emulate anyone. Who said anything negative about Dean anyhow? It certainly wasn't me.
May we count on you and the other two or three on here to stir up all the trouble you possibly can this new year? How do you guys plan on "bettering" Giles County?

Rabid in your 6:49 post you state, "The REAL evil lies in willfully trying to stir up trouble and strife in our community." You are also constantly referring to "two or three" who support Mr. Barrett's position on transparent gov't. I have a couple of questions, although if you are running true to form, you will totally ignore the questions, refuse to answer, and accuse me of being WAB posting anonymously. How are you so sure there are only a few who agree with Mr. Barrett and why are you so demanding that wrongdoing not be reported? It is becoming more and more obvious that if questionable activity takes place, you want it kept secret, but you will give NO facts why you feel the officials are "behaving" as they should. It earned you a name you profess to hate yet you have the power to lose the name, yet you won't.
And a little icing just for fun. A wild guess of mine is that although you constantly refer to kool-aid drinkers, I bet you really have no idea where that expression originated. Quick google it and make me wrong about that. I still don't believe you knew what it meant when you posted.

First of all, my name is not Rabid, and I would appreciate your stopping with the name-calling. I too am a man worthy of respect, whether I get it from you or not.
Secondly, I never said a word about those who would support transparent government. I ask the same of our elected officials.
You guys make sure every facet of our local government is transparent, one way or the other, so what is your point?
Finally, all I ask for is that the troublemaking and strife stop. I realize that some of you are apparently bitter because of the outcome of the August election, but that doesn't give any of you the right to attack, call names, and cause trouble. It's not a matter of questioning our government. We all should be able to do that, and I've never said otherwise. Again, the REAL evil lies with those who call names, tell lies, attempt to character assassinate those they resent, and stir up needless trouble. It's shameful.

I have a lot of respect for Mr. McAlister and have never believed that he went out there and did what he was accused of doing. I heard that Mr. McAlister was outraged as many people were by the "sandwiches" and thereby, lead by a sense of righting a wrong, moved Mrs. Vanzant's sign and fell into a cleverly designed trap. No, if anybody kept turning up the heat on this situation, it was (my opinion) allen barrett. Please don't try to blame any of this on me.

What McAlister is doing is making the black mark on his name bigger by attacking a good man who did nothing but his job. Bad behavior made worse is no way to expect good results.
If he thinks Barrett was the cause of his problem then go after him, personally I think McAlister is the problem and responsible for all that has happened to him.

He stopped to move Mrs. Vanzant's sign out from among those that were put up on both sides of hers. I think that's why his fingerprints didn't show up on those signs that were deliberately put there to cause trouble.

Did anybody notice Mrs. Vanzant's signs moved out the next day. I didn't run out everyday to see like someone did.

I knew WAB and Vanzant were both running and didn't need signs cluttering up the side of the road.

I'm lost 1:40. What two men do you speak of? I too have been out of the loop where the blog is concerned. I can think a few more than two and not just men that think they rule Giles County. It's those few who control that have kept Giles County in the dark ages. Unless of course someone stands to benefit monetarily. Example: The growth that is about to take place at exit 14 due to the water lines being run out there. I have my suspicions why the Pilot deal died and it has to do with "location". It appears that has all been worked out now and it's full speed ahead. It doesn't take an intellect to figure this out...just stay abreast of county business and those who are conducting it and with whom they are conducting it.

I am completely astounded by your suggestion that I am somehow related to the Harwells. What I SAID is that you wouldn't like it if barrett said something about your mother. That would also be true for a spouse, a sister, or any other loved one. How can you miss such a simple point?
Let me tell you something a gentleman will always do. He will defend his good name, reputation, and honor. That's what I am here to do for as long as it takes. But look at it this way. Were it not for this so-called "fuss" between you and me, what else would be going on here? NOTHING.

Thanks for your vote of confidence that I am not Mrs. Harwell. I'm not, and I just don't understand why these people (all one or two of them) can't just leave her alone.

Perhaps, that is the reason you haven't heard any negatives on this blog. You keep on thinking I'm Vicky Harwell all you want to. I can't help the fact that you are completely disillusioned.

Does the Minor Hill Water Board set the rates for water used through their system?
The real question should be why aren't the different water districts consolidated and the same rate for water charged throughout the county.
Except for a small amount the water for each system comes through the Pulaski Water system and is resold at a profit to end users. This duplication of actions is very expensive. Except for the fact that these individual water districts are dominated by some folks with very big toes, there are no logical reasons for not consolidating and saving the users an enormous amount of money.
