 What's your thoughts on this incident ?
 

web tracker


This is a true post but one I think you would like to offer up a comment or two. In my minds eye this is sad as well as disgusting on both ends. There is this guy who has been a friend of our boys for 9 years. This guy is also a construction worker, as my boys are, they build million dollar log homes, mainly for the people from Florida who come here every summer. So this guy on Saturday was arrested for shoplifting, and was put in jail and given a bond. His boss man came on Monday to bail him out, and met the bonds man at the jail to pay and get him released. Now here is where the story changes. While this guy was jailed, on Monday morning before anyone got there to do the paperwork to get him released this guy was attacked by several, but only one caused the severe damage. After his was brutally attacked and had his head literally bashed in, from having it slammed repeatedly against the concrete, he was stripped naked by the jailers and thrown into solitary. He pleaded to be taken to the hospital, all the while he was vomiting. The jailer threw him a bucket to vomit in and that was it. So when his boss and the bonds man came Monday to get him out of jail, they couldn't believe their eyes. The left side of his head was bashed in, and a different jailer told them that when he went to get him out to be released, he was laying in vomit and throwing up blood. So immediately, both the bonds man and the boss took pictures as they couldn't believe that he wasn't transported to the hospital. The jail wouldn't/didn't call an ambulance the bonds man did, right there in the lobby of the sheriffs department. He was taken to the local hospital, where he laid for anywhere between 20 to 30 minutes without being evaluated. They called an ambulance to take him to Mission hospital in Asheville, which is a 40 minute drive. All of my children where there so I was updated every time they found out any info. The first call I recieved was they did a CAT scan, and it showed an air pocket as well as a huge blood clot in his brain. They told the family and friends that it didn't look like he was going to make it, and allowed one at a time to go and have their last visit with him. The second call I recieved was they rushed him in for emergency surgery to try and relieve the air pocket and remove the clot. His chances of making it through surgery was 20%, the third call I got was he did make it through surgery. The next couple of days are the critical, and of course he's in ICU Trauma . Now I went online last eve to the local news web site and reported everything that I'm telling you right now. I thought it would be overlooked, BUT while I was typing this post, the phone rang and low and behold it was the news. I kid you not, they want me to get a few of the pictures that were taken, and they would like a family member or family friend to speak on camera. We have much on our plates, BUT I will not sit back and allow this kind of behavior from the jail to happen to someone else. Not to mention no matter what he did he is a human being, and his plea to be taken to the hospital was denied. This young man was left to die, if the bonds man and or boss wouldn't been there to get him out. So what's your thoughts on this matter? Please let me know as I believe I'm doing the right thing, I think. But not to stand up and take action or stand up and do what seems to be right. That's the question.

 Two messages in One~
 


Firsy of all , I would like to Thank everyone who
came into my blog (below) and left  your input
to my quext for an answer. It's nice to know that
I wasn't alone searching/questioning about the post.

Now onto my next Post.



A few months ago, I posted on an ex-moonshiner
Popcorn Sutton. I told of this 68 year old man
who didn't complete the 3rd grade. A man who
carried on his family business of making moonshine.
Now you must remember where we're at, the South,
therefore many things that has to do with this story
is quite amusing as well as the perceptions people
have of the South

Almost 1 & 1/2 months ago, Popcorn Sutton was
released from the Tennessee jail that he'd been at
since I done the post. This is the amusing part, he
is on house arrest. He had been hiding out prior to
getting caught in the mountains of Tennessee, so he
is having a hard time with not being able to drive
his 1937 pick-up truck with one of his, old, non
working still bolted in the bed of his truck. You see
it's NOW tourist season here in the Smokies, and
ol' Popcorn drives his truck up and down the main
strip in Maggie Valley. Often pulling into the amusement
park, Ghost Town in the Sky, and talking his talk to any
person/persons who found him fascinating, which was
everybody.

So back to what happened in court.

They DROPPED the moonshine charges, BUT as I
said is on house release, and IS being charged with
Convicted Felon in possession of a fire-arm. He's
facing 6 or more years, *CAN YOU BELIVE THAT*
Now Popcorn was a smart man, as far as his security
protecting his stills & stash. Bobbie traps all over his
property. And YES everyone here knew about his guns,
but I can tell you this, Popcorn Suttons house and work
place for the stills, have NEVER been broken into. I
imagine the locals were smart too, never has it happened.

I learned this information from one of his buddies I
used to wait on when he and Popcorn came into
the restaurant, on an everyday basis I must add.



Well, depending on the interest of this post, if anyone
wants an update on his day in court. I'll be more than
happy to let anyone know.

 Your imput is soley desired~

Well in July,(the end) it will be a year of me being here
on the stream. With the same intent as my post below,
I've "seen" many different faces, so to speak. Many of
which, follow every different paths there is to follow.
So I come to you now, and I only want your sincere
thoughts on the question I will be asking post haste.

There was a grandmother and her two grand-daughters,
who were burned alive just last week. The girls ages were
10 & 6, and the grandmother was 58. The girls father is
always in trouble with the law, and really, so was the mother.
The police and fire department was in an intensive state of
shock, to see such an unnatural disaster.

So my question to my fellow bloggers is,,,
Why do you think that a God would want to take such
young children out of this world at such a young age?
I believe that everyone is put here for a reason!! So
God creates life, then turns around at life's beginning
and takes it back. Is that not like quitting the game
because you don't like that you're not as good as
someone else?

I've not lost my mind, but I've been shown the light,as
it were, and just cannot comprehend this situation. So
if anyone out there cares to respond, or share your
thoughts on this, the confusion I have, on this post I'd
really appreciate it.



And to those who choose not to partake in this
undeniably sad , but never-the-less, sought out answer
to which I seek. That's fine too, perhaps it's not some
thing you which to discuss. Some might say, a fire killed
them not God,. Maybe you can see my dilemma on
this terrible event.

 An Ecletic form of expression~
 

Faces

One person has many,
Though there are few people,
Who will show you the one that is true.

Hiding for some unknown reason,
Not showing their true self,
A person hides behind one of their faces,
Trying to lead you to believe the lies they tell you.

Always waiting and ready for one of these people,
Trying to keep track of all the truths they tell,
In comparison to all that is false,
It hurts to have someone you used to think was so close,
Turn from you and show you the true face they wear.

All I want is to know that there is a few,
Real people with real faces,
That can be up-front,
And honest with the purpose of what is on their minds,
Without feeding you falsified hopes and feelings,
Someone to just be true.

All I can do,
Is hope to make it so people don't feel I am just showing them a face,
The one that is not my true one,
Let them see me for who I really am,
And the face that I really hold.

Elton John - The Bitch is Back




I was justified when I was five
Raising cane, I spit in your eye
Times are changing, now the poor get fat
But the fever's gonna catch you when the bitch gets back

Eat meat on Friday that's alright
Even like steak on a Saturday night
I can bitch the best at your social do's
I get high in the evening sniffing pots of glue



I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch
Oh the bitch is back
Stone cold sober as a matter of fact
I can bitch, I can bitch
`Cause I'm better than you
It's the way that I move
The things that I do

I entertain by picking brains
Sell my soul by dropping names
I don't like those, my God, what's that
Oh it's full of nasty habits when the bitch gets back
