Comments for Beaufort County Commissioners Possibly Conducted an Illegal Meeting to Hire New Manager | Eastern North Carolina Now

You are still a citizen + taxpayer with a voice. You and Hood came to mind when a friend just sent me this funny story:

Getting a Hairdryer Through Customs.
An attractive young woman on a flight from Ireland asked the Priest beside her, 'Father, may I ask a favor?'
'Of course child. What may I do for you?'
'Well, I bought my mother an expensive hair dryer for her birthday. It is unopened but well over the Customs limits and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through customs for me? Hide it under your robes perhaps?'
'I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you, I will not lie.'
'With your honest face, Father, no one will question you.'
When they got to Customs, she let the priest go first. The official asked, 'Father, do you have anything to declare?'
'From the top of my head down to my waist I have nothing to declare.'
The official thought this answer strange, so asked, 'And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?'
'I have a marvelous instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused.'
Roaring with laughter, the official said, 'Go ahead, Father. Next please!'

You BOTH give a slanted story with partial truths---making me laugh!

Get a good night's / sleep avoid more booze / maybe a solution will come to you in a dream---I sure hope, anyway. I can't fix stupid that could come up with better solutions to spend my tax money. . .

You Conservative obsession is becoming tinged with Paranoia, Stan.

The simple fact is that humans are locked up under a potential building disaster. When people can turn and run out---no great problem / if they are in our care as prisoners, we are liable just as is Baltimore today, man.

I shall assume you did not get your nap of my hard questions/observations are driving you to drink. Either way, I am not impressed with any takes you and "The Hood" have on the Beaufort County Jail.

All I can say is: "So far we have been lucky."

Without a fire suppression system it is not "automatic and sending a signal of fire to the station a few blocks away." The likely scenario is a late night blaze smoldering and undetected in the darkness. Should someone report it before it explodes suddenly into an inferno, it could be stopped.

People thought the Twin Towers were fire proof and properly protected---made of steel and glass which don't burn. Add to that concrete surrounding the steel and insulation against fire sprayed on the steel ~~~ you should know how silly your allegation is because you watched the buildings go down in a holocaust.

You raged over the awful Terrorists / you are MAKING EXCUSES HERE AT HOME, my brother. . .

The folks I talked with say it has much wood in it also! Am I mis-informed on the structure of the Court House? It surely has papers out the wazoo and that is most combustible. There is no fire suppressant system either.

You totally miss my point, Stan---"right / legal" mean NOTHING IF A FIRE BREAKS OUT AND PEOPLE BURN TO A HORRIBLE DEATH!

The Bible says much about people with hard hearts, brother!

I am beginning to find a CONSISTENT ADJECTIVE to this Conservatism = ILLEGAL

Commissioner Hood Richardson and I had a conversation Tuesday evening. It came over the danger I see with our basement jail under a building with no serious fire protection when it is full of papers and other combustible materials.

Hood promptly informed me had saved money and forced the DA to move cases through and that the jail had a steel ceiling for protection of inmates from overhead fire! Furthermore, that no way could the building burn down on top of them. Heat goes up he further stated.

My response was that they could drown from water dousing a fire and escape if evacuation were in order.

At this point his bully spirit was welling up and he began to chastise and accuse me of not knowing what I was talking about. That short fuse has been in evidence before as I have witnessed official meetings.

I asked if they do not think a Judge might order them to make overdue improvements and changes for the sake of not endangering humans "innocent until proven guilty."

Quickly, I was informed the Judge who interfered before did so ILLEGALLY!

I am sure I shall be accused of "mis-characterizing the conversation." There is no doubt his fuse was short and he is PERFECTLY RIGHT --- IN THE MOST OBNOXIOUS WAY!

Clifton, I pray that some good will come of this.

Gene, you need to re-read what you write, and re-read it carefully, and maybe then you will stop misidentifying yourself.

You despise conservatives, therefore, you cant' be one too. It's simply that simple.

This how Obama gets away with everything. The powers who CAN stop him, refuse to do so. Same thing is happening in Beaufort county. Follow this link to see absolute proof. www.beaufortobserver.net
If we put their noses to the grindstone each and every time they step out of line, soon they will find it easier to do their job correctly the first time.

Hood bawls crocodile tears --- yet is a bear hungry for anyone not agreeing with him on most things . . .

Isn't there a legal manuver, motion, or something, in which commisioners can be charged and prosecuted for doing this? How else could we stop actions such as this?

In my view --- we USED to have a collegial bunch of representative / now we are trying our best to be the same kinds of fools who run out State and Federal Systems. Come on folks, let's start acting like the good country commons sense people we can be . . .
