A little over a month ago, I</h1> <article> <h1>A little over a month ago, I</h1> <p>James — Mon, 28 May 2012 08:28:48 +0000</p> <p>A little over a month ago, I created the Facebook page and petition, calling for full transparency in this case. The city has made it clear that they side with the officer and will protect themselves from the lawsuit, which Mr Cook has filed, by using their insurance to provide the officer with a civil attorney, even before criminal charges have been filed. Our tax dollars at work. We’ve received nearly 1,000 signatures on our petition and helped to keep the discussion alive in our community ( and hopefully shine a light on the behind closed doors approach that has been the standard since February 9. ) I’ve been publicly insulted and criticized by some for “not keeping this local”. Well, I am local, and I was the only willing to take a stand and say “When a police officer shoots an unarmed woman, in the back, while she driving away in sheer terror, isn’t it reasonable to expect a fair and open trial?” Doesn’t seem all that radical a proposition to me. This should make all decent people stand up and say “Enough is enough.” If the Special Grand Jury decides to acquit the officer, and seal the evidence, instead of sending the case to trial, in open court, then a travesty of justice will have occurred and people should be outraged. If you agree that this case warrants its day in court, please go today and sign our petition. Mrs Cook was a decent and kind lady, and she can’t speak for herself. Please join me in speaking for her. Thank you.</p> <p><a href="http://www.change.org/petitions/special-prosecutor-bring-criminal-charges-against-police-officer-who-killed-patricia-cook" title="http://www.change.org/petitions/special-prosecutor-bring-criminal-charges-against-police-officer-who-killed-patricia-cook">http://www.change.org/petitions/special-prosecutor-bring-criminal-charge...</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Justice-for-Patricia-Cook/405709186116293?ref=ts" title="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Justice-for-Patricia-Cook/405709186116293?ref=ts">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Justice-for-Patricia-Cook/405709186116293...</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>Sutton: you are a loser</h1> <p>Friedrich Nietzsche — Mon, 28 May 2012 02:37:37 +0000</p> <p>Sutton: you are a loser</p> </article> <article> <h1>Wish Fred was still bringing</h1> <p>Missing music — Mon, 28 May 2012 01:54:20 +0000</p> <p>Wish Fred was still bringing incredible music to C'ville instead of wrestling alligators.

See I cored in the 100th percentile on my ACT, fact! No go figure.</p> <p>Funny you bring up Tech, well what happened was horrible. But you need to read a little more as to law-suites and Federal Fines anf much more.</p> <p>See, I live a world where if one opens the door, I walk in. Virgina Tech in my opinion could not of ever been held accountable for the first 2 victims. See, I know someone was that there and she was on CNN that day. She came home and we talked for months. Even my friend Kenny for UVA knows. </p> <p>But, what Tech did wrong was not use the tool that were available to them to PREVENT the onslaught. Much as UVA has done, The Hook has countless stories in the past 10 years. UVA circled the wagons and that is where any attorney can take the lack of a actions, and actions to sweep under the rug can be taken to not just negligence, but with a term you I am sure you have never heard. It is Latin and intent to cause harm, is implied when authority allows the policy or actions to rest as simple negligence. </p> <p>Get back to me on what it means, but I suggest you read of the deaths of NAZI war criminals. Now, I am not calling anyone at UVA or Tech a NAZI. But the precedent is there, that negligence does carry the weight of intent when a institution neglects any portion of their members of society.</p> <p>Ms. Loves family is far from seeking notoriety.

Had I known there was any question about it, I could have taken them right to it. As the late Sheriff Raymond Pace and I walked out the courthouse door one day, the sheriff told me we were walking over top of it as he explained what it was. This was back in 1974 when he told me about it.</p> </article> <article> <h1>Never mind, I figured it out</h1> <p>White? — Sun, 27 May 2012 23:09:51 +0000</p> <p>Never mind, I figured it out - its election year...</p> </article> <article> <h1>Hawes, what the hell is your</h1> <p>White? — Sun, 27 May 2012 22:53:12 +0000</p> <p>Hawes, what the hell is your problem?
