BACK FROM THE BRINK

My emasculated computer returned home yesterday.

Seems that what was wrong was something called a 'fried motherboard'. An easy fix....."have it for you in a day or two at the most."

The siren song of all technocrats who sense a sucker who does not know the difference between a floppy disk and a USB port.

The part ordered didn't fit the machine. A machine the same company had built from scratch about a year and a half ago.

FRIED MUTHAH-BOARD!!!

Won't bother you with details. It will most likely take me the rest of the day to wade through emails. Found well over a thousand of them....not including f'spam'. Have that total whittled down to less than two hundred.

When in doubt hit DELETE.

Hope to begin posting regularly by tomorrow.

Stay in touch.

Computer Down

Yep....second time this year, the old (less than two years) PC died of something akin to fright a few moments ago.

Ran to a neighbor who graciously is letting me use her machine long enough to get this message across.

Since this is a long weekend, it is likely that this b'log will be off the air until about Wednesday Next.

Sorry.....Macon don't do anythging stupid while I am off line.

Ciao for now!!!!

Three Persons Of Indian Heritage Slain
Who Dares Call Them ‘Hate Crimes’?

But I’m going to. The savage, senseless murders of three Indian-born men over the past several weeks has all the earmarks, on the surface at least, of being, in whole or in part, hate crimes.

The suspects arrested for the more recent killings are black. We do not yet know the identity of the murder that took place in Baldwin County earlier in the summer.

Three men, ironically sharing the same last name, related (I don’t know), all from India and all hard working and employed were wiped out one at a time, with a kind of cold, methodical precision.

Nobody in officialdom has yet said ‘hate crime’. But it is high time to investigate that as a possible motive in at least one of the slayings. And if the rancid odor of ‘hate crime’ be found, then the killers, at least one of whom is black and a teen ager, need to be tried under Georgia’s hate crime laws. That should help put somebody away for the rest of his life.

Personally, I think hate crime laws are an abomination invented by pandering politicians. Murder is murder whether committed by somebody who hates or loves you. To add race, gender, national origin, or sexuality into the occasion is simply stupid.

I have been informed by the Campus Police Department that unknown suspects appearing high school age have been going door to door soliciting donations for “band and football uniforms for Bibb County schools”. The Bibb County school system knows of no such fund raiser. The last sighting of these individuals was in the Corbin Avenue area. If you encounter them, notify law enforcement. Be prepared to give a suspect description, vehicle description if available (with tag if safely possible) and a direction of travel.

It’s beginning, just beginning to happen.

The ‘it’ started years ago, but began to gain momentum with a recent T’GRAPH editorial by Charles Richardson exposing how the savagery and thuggery found in Bibb County schools is keeping a majority of kids from earning an education. It continued with a piece by Betty Phillips, also in the TELEGRAPH stating the same theme. It continued with a not-so-cleverly-orchestrated cover up by Superintendent Patterson and the BOE of gunfire inside a classroom in the hands of a thirteen-year-old. About the same time we learn that Bibb County’s SAT scores are in the toilet. Right now morale among our teachers is at what seems to be an all-time low It has reached the point of realization in the larger community that our schools are among THE VERY WORST IN THE ENTIRE NATION.

Thugs rule the corridors of academe just as they rule some of our streets.It

Conclusion: “IT” is becoming a groundswell movement demanding we fire (or buy out) Miss Patterson immediately and, at the earliest possible opportunity, replace the current coward cadre who comprise the Board of Education with some folks with cojones sufficient to deal with the real problems that are destroying the county’s kids.

Sharon Patterson Must Go.

Early Release For Dangerous Criminals

Whether holy or unholy, the sudden alliance between Shock Jock Chris Krok and de facto civilian head of area neighborhood watches, Vic Jones, will prove to be a very powerful force in the current war against crime currently being waged in all sectors of our fair city.

This b’log spent a little time on the subject when we posted: IS THERE SOMETHING ROTTEN IN THE BIBB COUNTY JUSTICE SYSTEM on August 27th. (Scroll down to locate.) We barely scratched the surface of the problem that time.

Back in May several of the local judges and magistrates pulled together and raised, over some objection, bail on folks who were arrested. Why? In some neighborhoods, these bad guys, even those with long and significant criminal histories, were getting out of the slammer and were back on the streets plying their nefarious craft within hours. New, higher bail rates did slow down dramatically the revolving door at the LEC. Law abiding citizens who dwell in the combat zone off Riverside and elsewhere were able to breathe just a little easier.

Suddenly, a couple of short weeks ago, bond rates began declining to their old, favorable-to-criminals levels and a bru-ha-ha has broken out within the local judicial system that might just determine if this city can remain a viable place to live and raise a family or not.

The forces of Law and Order, including Jones and Krok, the MPD, several judges and the DA’s office want to keep the bad guys off the streets, keep them from robbing, killing, molesting, and invading our homes. On the other side we have Sheriff Jerry Modena, certain sob-sister magistrate judges, and every criminal defense attorney in town which includes Bibb County Commissioner Lonzie Edwards. This gaggle of well-intended(?) souls seems to side with the criminal element….don’t treat them too harshly, they are largely poor and black, you see; these poor men and women come from broken homes, were molested as children, have little or no useful education (of course not, they are most likely the product of a failing school system. They have to get back home and take care of their families (which they weren’t doing in the first place). This ilk wants to create ‘programs’ to help the criminal element get back into society in some meaningful way.

Sad to say the bad guys were never useful citizens to begin with. Career criminals are spawned on our streets, playgrounds, and in our schools at an ever younger age.

That’s the liberal mentality at its very worst…create out of whole cloth ill-conceived, new social programs which are doomed to failure from the beginning. The greatest social engineers of the century just past were Hitler, Stalin, and Mao tse. We don’t need jails, we have do-gooders who can reason with the likes of the bastard who shot young Patel three days ago.

Part of this cabal’s fear is that the Jail will fill up and we will have nowhere to put our inmates. Sorry, that doesn’t cut the mustard. There will be lots of space in the LEC once we get rid of about a hundred state prisoners we are holding for some damned reason. You can always throw an extra cot in a cell.

This morning, following the reading of a letter from Mr. Jones, Chris Krok went on a tear citing chapter and verse the name, address, and criminal record of several slime-balls released prematurely.

It was not only an exciting show, but it gave the listener an earful into the machinations of our local CJ system which, on the magistrate level, seems to bend over backwards to avoid hurting the tender feelings of some of the worst elements within our society.

Go Chris! go Vic!! You have a lot of people on your side who will no longer permit elected magistrates and politicians to make a mockery of our laws. A few of us live in neighborhoods where a man or woman can walk abroad during the evening hours in absolute safety. That should be a goal for the whole city (and county).
