No, Little Bobbie, crime is NOT down. At a convenient political time, the Biden FBI corrupted its numbers to make it look that way, largely by conveniently excluding some major crime-plagued jurisdictions that had failed to report. Later, when they finally corrected those numbers by including that info, crime was, in fact, UP substantially.

Yet crime is down in every aspect all across the country.

Interesting story. Checks all the boxes.
Democrats - racist
Courts- not to be trusted
Voting rights act - bad

Anyone want to share a more accurate telling of the story?

Bob, the "someone who wanted to change the system to fit their needs" who gave us "limited voting" was a Democrat County Commission chairman named Frank Bonner. Beaufort County was facing a Voting Rights Act lawsuit from David Moore over the way ocmmissioners were elected. They had the ammuniction evidence-wise to win the suit over Moore but hired a Chapel Hill liberal attorney who preferred to negotiate the surrender instead of win the case. Moore presented a district plan, which i had the opportunity to see at a later period, and it was a solid plan. Frank Bonner, however about had kittens over the plan because it put his own home in a black district. He instructed that liberal Chapel Hill attorney to come up with an alternative plan that would not end his personal political career. That plan was limited voting. Frank Bonner's personal "needs" were to save his own political career and limited voting was imposed on Beaufort County to do that. I wish Moore had stuck to his guns on his district plan because it was a good one.

When the public found out about the limited voting that was coming their way, there was a huge public uproar, so much so that the all-Democrat commissioners tried to back out of it, but the court ruled they had gone too far in settlement of the case to do so. Our appellate courts have ruled that limited voting is such a strange system that courts cannot impose it as a remedy unless all the parties agree to accept it. In our case, the court ruled that if they accepted it at one point, even if they changed their mind, that was enough. That aspect should have been taken to an appellate court, but it wasn't.

Regarding whoever is working for who concerning the School Board, it appears nothing has changed since the last election. Cheeseman and his assistant are still dead center with their sock puppet chairman, while a few of their favorites are in fairly close proximity, and members not on the favorite list are mingled with the staff or placed on the planet Pluto. No sign of the board lawyer, but I hear he is a superintendent call away in Durham if he is not preoccupied with his Democratic Party activism. This is well beyond embarrassing. Being a Beaufort County resident, it hurts to see what has become of my county. I don't recall seeing anything like this.

"Right side of history"??? Curious how the modern American far left rehashs the old Soviet slogan "History is on our side". History, however is factual. It has no side.

And as to West Virginia, citizens in that area had a free choice in 1861 when the citizens of the state voted on seceeding from the United States. At that time, everyone could vote and no one was off in the army or refugees from northern occupation. At that time, most of the counties later organized into West Virginia voted FOR secession from the Union.

ANd with your Marxist bent, I wonder why you do not follow Karl Marx's assessment of the War Between the States: "the war is not about slavery; it is a war of economic subjugation by the north against the south."

These “movements” have always been around. The internet just amplifies it. However it does remind me of WV. Those counties broke away from Virginia to avoid sedition and slavery to fight with the North.
Clearly they were on the right side of history

Because I care what Bill thinks? Ha

Just remember BC is one Cat 4or 5 hurricane away from being in the exact same position as LA.

Who you going to blame then? Oh wait, you’ll blame the usual suspects. Of course you will.

Illinois and Oregan are prime examples of how WOKE cannot effectively govern. California is another.

The Separation Movement of Counties is growing now that it is well understood that Democratic Socialists cannot or will NOT govern with a modicum of intelligence at the local level.

I have spoken to many county commissioners from states, where their counties are subservient to the dictates of Democratic Socialists Dingbats, and who are NOT qualified to govern or lead, are mostly ready to secede to other far better governed Red States.

Is it any wonder that these counties wish to join the state next door, like the states of Washington's and Oregon's eastern counties now begging to secede to Idaho for example?
