Lawsuit Settled, Or Extortion Paid?

Yes, the newspaper reported that the lawsuit brought by Clay McAlister against the city of Pulaski, a police officer and Me has been settled. It was settled several months ago when the information was leaked from the courthouse and posters began writing on this blog about it.
Since Mr. McAlister has chosen, against his own request to keep the settlement from the public, to openly tell important parts I feel compelled to fill in the blanks.

Why does a thirty million dollar lawsuit dwindle down to the final settlement. When McAlister's attorney heard the arrogance of his expectations of special treatment, wreck under the influence of drugs and leaving the scene without a police report even being filled and the prior psychiatric problems, he started back peddling.

Yes, I paid McAlister. It was the exact same amount paid by Lt. Glossup and the city, less than $1,300.00.

Why did I pay? Because it was a matter of spending over twenty more thousand dollars in attorney fees or pay the $1,200.00 in extortion. The amount paid by all three defendants did not even cover the attorney fees paid by McAlister.

My attitude was firmly planted in fighting this extortion, even to the point of selling my 1964 Mustang to pay the extra $20,000.00 in attorney fees. It came down to paying the $1,200.00 or pay the $20,000.00 and try to live with a family that was not well pleased with the decision.

Oh, if there are doubts about anything I have written in this topic it can easily be proven by a simple reading of the transcript from witness statements.

9:25 I would think Mr. Barrett's family is very proud of him.

As Mr. Barrett says, if anyone has doubts about what he wrote then prove it to yourself by going to the courthouse and reading the transcript. But then, there are those, you included, who would never be brave enough to do that because you are afraid of what people might think of you.

Why didnt the newspaper print the whole story, including Glossop's, Barrett's and the City?

So, are you saying you paid a settlement to avoid having to pay much more in court fees? Isn't that the same thing that happened with the so-called racial discrimination lawsuit? The county knows just as most people do that it's very hard to defend agaqinst such a suit. Just asking.

The county paid because they knew they could not defend against a discrimination lawsuit. That's it, pure and simple. There were other mitigating factors involved in the decision to hire other than Ms. White.

Sounds like Barrett made a wise decision since there is such a big difference between paying 20,000 in attorney fees or pay 1200 in, I liked that term, extortion.
A few years back I had a problem with a fence that was moved. It was only a few feet from the original line but was about a acre for the full run of the fence. I had pictures of the old fence post holes and everyone agreed it was a open and shut case the only problem it was going to cost about thirty thousand just to get it to court the land certainly wasn't worth that much and I ended up just letting the thing go. If you don't have the money you just easy pickings for the crooks.

If you agree or not saying all tje crap that gets put on here sin't going to convince or change anyones take anyway--so why cant this place be constructive and stick to PROVABLE facts?

Mr. Barrett flat out lied and it seems to me he is having a little trouble facing the facts. My advice to you, Mr. Barrett, is to be more mature and stop writing post that no one cares about, except for those who, like you, have nothing better to do than to get on here and run their mouths. Grow up, Get a life. Is it really that difficult???

Not that anyone cares about my opinion, and not that I sit on here and read all this non sense everyone else has posted, I just am sick and tired of Mr. Barrett thinking that he has anything over ANYONE'S head. PLEASE GET A LIFE.

Seems like within the last week on one of the topics here someone brought the subject up----and lo and behold, an article appears in this week's paper about the dispensation of the case. Doesn't make any difference whose side you are on, both sides should have had their say printed.

I am the one who posted 4:20, and just wanted you to know that I did say you are the same man who is pushing for the charter. Isn't that correct? I think it is. Of course, you're not the only one, but you really are one of the major players, right? For that I was cursed and threatened. This is getting very serious.
Having said all that, I just want you to know that I want nothing further to do with the blog. I said that before but changed my mind. I won't make that mistake again.
I have done all in good conscience in opposiing the charter and in standing against those who seek to belittle and destroy decent and hard-working elected officials in this county. But now the charter issue is in the hands of the voters, and it occurs to me that I cannot stop the attacks on our elected officials. So what's the point of being here anymore? It's no longer my fight.
Now, whether you delete that post or not will be your call. However, I did print it off.
In closing, let me just say that you and I have some SERIOUS DISAGREEMENTS and OPPOSING VIEWS, and neither of us is likely to change the other. So it's a moot point. But I have no respect for you and some of the things you are doing and pray that you will change someday. Nevertheless, the blog is yours now. I will not be a part of something like this one day longer.
God bless Giles County.

The proposed Giles County Charter may have failed during the August 2, 2012 election but 3 facts remain:

1) The proposed Charter for Giles County has been written;

2) The proposed Charter for Giles County can come before the electorate again in a future election;

3) The current failing approach for the financial management of Giles County remains in place.

Of course people make fun of YOU for claiming to be a Christian because of the tone of your posts. Wanda Sue hasn't crossed that line but once, so I'm sure folks will give her a couple of more chances. If you wouldn't constantly change your mind (lie )you might get the same consideration.

Either stay on or get off, just please stop getting our hopes up if it's gonna be the former. Thanks.

Well the enabler is back. It is the only one that would ever claim any one laughed at any one for being a Christian. That is simply another lie from the enabler who just can't seem to stop lying. Why are you still posting 7:36? Change your mind again? Your obsession will destroy you. But thank you for continuing to prove that you are just a liar.

Wanda I am sure most people on this blog are sorry for your loss and wish you the best in getting through your difficult time.

That being said I did read the posts that were signed by a person claiming to be Wanda and they did defame and attack Barrett. I understand one's desire to take up for friends, but when one uses the descriptive terms that were in the Wanda posts, how can any one deny that they were defaming or meant to be?

The Thursday, August 02, 2012 5:48:00 PM Post has been deleted for the abuse of blog policy.
I sincerely apologize that the offensive language in that post was left for viewing.
Unlike some posters I can not spend 24/7 monitoring this blog. When some childlike character with no discipline, vocabulary or self respect becomes angry and posts such obnoxious statements they can not be deleted until I become aware of them and have the means to delete them.
To the poster who makes the claim that such post when favorable to be
are not deleted I would challenge that person to show one example where such a post has been left because it expressed support of favor for me or anything that I support. It's unfortunate but the fact is stupid people post from both side of issues at times and both are deleted as soon as possible.
Again I apologize for the post not being deleted sooner.

It's the system that creates the extortion individuals just take advantage from time to time.
When a person says give me twenty dollars or I'll stand outside your business and tell everyone not to shop here is an easily identified act of extortion. On the other hand a person says I'll sue you unless you give me twenty dollars then they file the suit and say give me two hundred dollars and I'll drop the suit or you can pay five hundred dollars for an attorney and fees. This is a legal extortion but extortion none the less.

I read the paper this afternoon and looks like Barrett lowered the boom on McAlister who was revealed to be a big whiner and crybaby because he didn't get special treatment then had a tantrum with everyone who would listen.
I would like to know more about the traffic accident and how come he wasn't charged for that.
What to go Barrett I think the record is set straight.

It wouldn't matter if Barrett is telling the truth. There are very few who believe a word that comes out of his mouth.

I think the boom was lowered when Barrett had to pay him money for a lawsuit. Now Barrett is displaying his usual childishness and hate.

The fact that McAlister had an accident is of no surprise to me. I recently had the misfortune of having to follow him out of town. His arrogant manner of driving came close to causing more than one accident.

Seems like all the years of being a State Trooper would have taught him how to use a blinker.

I believe the truth of the matter is that Clay really only wanted Barrett to make a public apology for telling the lie about him. But pride and arrogance would not let that be. Isn't it a shame that people still defend Barrett when he clearly told a lie and seemingly made a false report to the police? It seems the attorneys involved saw that.
I understand that Barrett is going to offer a rebuttal to Clay's letter to the editor in today's paper. I can't wait to read the spin. I think he will portray himself as the poor victim while Clay McAlister will be the mean and evil perpetrator. That would be a lie.

Interesting 7:37 how would you know that unless you read it in yesterday's paper or someone told you after reading it, either way you are not showing any insight only repeating things that have already been made public, but then that seems to be your great talent spreading gossip about things you know nothing about. If you could only untangle your noodle long enough to think for yourself instead of letting Vanzant and her punks use you like a football there might be some hope for you but as it is your future is as dim as your past filled with gossip and wannabe.

Do you have a brain? I mean...seriously? I read someone's post right here on this blog about Barrett's scathing comments someone read in last night's paper. I won't have my copy until this morning. I felt certain that he would have a rebuttal to Clay's piece in the paper. But Clay can also readdress the issue if need be, and I hope he will. I for one know for a fact that Clay never moved the signs because I saw the "crime scene" before and after the so-called crime was committed.
Oh yes, I DO KNOW what I am talking about in this situation.

Barret's signs had been disappearing so he got his recorder and watched.
He saw a vehicle stop by them, maybe he knew who he was maybe he didn't know, but he recorded it and thought he had the person that had been moving his signs. Without looking at the video he went to the police. It turned out clay wasn't touching Barret's signs but moved Mrs Vanzant's sign. That is just what I think happen. My opinion is also cg cried like a baby so about the sign, Mr McAlister decided to go move Mrs. Vanzant's sign out where it could be seen.
cg is still crying about Mr. McAlister's trouble. why is cxg so obsessed so with WAB? What did he do to him? It had to be before wab called cg an enabler because he was against WAB before that?

No, I don't think his signs were disappearing out there on Mill Street. I know, because I traveled that road every single day to visit friends. I noticed. And I also know for a fact that Barrett's signs had not been moved on the nmorning or the afternoon when the so-called crime had been committed. It seems apparent to me that he lied and got caught in it.
Why would anyone defend that?

When you were carrying on about the sandwich signs, before McAlister, WAB said someone had been taking his signs down. Are you saying that never happen? No one ever took WAB's signs down?

Again, this is what I know. I noticed Barrett's signs on both sides of those belonging to Mrs. Vanzant and Terry Harwell. They were in that position the morning of the arrest. Barrett's signs were in that same position following the arrest that afternoon. Mrs. Vanzant's sign had been moved out to where motorists could see it again. As for someone else taking down his signs, I don't know.

Did any of the signs belong to Clay? If not, what the hell was he even doing close to any of them.

Was he working for Janet, or was HE trying to stir up trouble. I believe that's an honest question.

I saw some crooked signs and even some laying over. It never once crossed my mind to stop and "adjust" them.

I am of the opinion that Clay was simply there to move Mrs. Vanzant's sign out to where it could be seen again by motorists. There were NO signs near hers when I first saw it situated near a small tree on Mill Street. Later on, I saw two of Barrett's signs erected on both sides of hers such that the viewing of her sign was obstructed. Whether Clay acted on his own or not is really not the point. I too was tempted to stop and move her sign out to where it could be seen again. Thank God, I didn't do that.
Peace.

Yes, cg, but what business was that of Clay's. It wasn't his job to police the placement of the signs. Just another example of him sticking his nose where it didn't belong.

I believe his spontaneous actions caused him to get the hell beat out of him years ago, while in uniform. Sometimes he would be better off to mind his own business.
