It never really was about crime or justice was it Crackah?
Just the same old same old politics as usual in Summerfield.
Dwayne was simply Nifonged.

Poor Dwayne.
I'm not gonna argue with you Jim.
You will continue to compare apples to oranges no matter what we say. I suppose it's your neverending desire to pull for the underdog and single handedly solve all of the world's political problems.
Have fun old buddy.

Was he ever charged or arrested for any heinous criminal acts?
Interestingly, folks around the country have been watching closely (and with great disgust) the hearings down in Raleigh this week, where a rogue prosecutor down in Durham County is on trial for charging folks with being guilty until proven innocent and for sensationally trying a case in the media rather than in the courtroom.
Many of us keep waiting to see Old Dwayne's photo on the front page of The Northwest Observer being hauled off to the hoosegaw with handcuffs on. What gives?
The most recent communication we had, the detective was still investigating and communicating with the DA on this issue.

Nothing more you need to say Crackah. Your earlier post says it all. And more.
I just happen to believe in trying cases in courtrooms instead of newspapers. I also happen to believe people are innocent until proven guilty. Imagine that!
Have a nice afternoon.

Talk about duplicitous. What a Scoundrel. They should toss him under the jail and throw away the key.

(Whoops. I originally put December as the date, but that Nifong post was made in February I b'lieve.)

The earlier comment (which is now being taken and posted out of context) is that Nifong was a 'scoundrel' and should be 'tossed into jail' BECAUSE OF HIS OBVIOUS DUPLICITY (based on his own statement).
The Nifong statement clearly points out clear duplicity by any understanding of the mere definition of duplicity.
The problem with duplicity and hypocrisy are that they are mere moral failings although not crimes under the law. Right Pappy?

Much obliged, Sandra. I reckon the many who keep waiting to see Old Dwayne's photo on the front page of The Northwest Observer being hauled off to the hoosegaw with handcuffs on will just have to wait.
I agree with the Crackah. I was glad for a variety of reasons that Dwayne stepped down. I never thought he had the vision, maturity, or temperament for public office. I don't particularly want to see him in irons. I don't particularly want to see him at all.

Excerpt from today's Atlanta Journal Constitution:
Ruth Graham, Steadfast as Evangelist's Wife, Mother, Author
"She ... would rather chat with ushers and housekeeping staff" than mingle with celebrities," wrote biographer and mystery writer Patricia Cornwell.
Though she could be tough and feisty, Ruth had a soft heart for underdogs of all kinds.
Cornwell wrote in her biography: "Had she ever kept a guest book, it would have held the names of drug addicts, thieves, the delusional and deranged and juvenile delinquents from the local detention center who had committed crimes of vandalism or murder."
It would also have included Patsy Daniels and her brother — children whose mother dumped them unceremoniously on the Grahams' doorstep as she headed out of town. When she married one of her college English professors, a marriage that failed, Patsy Daniels became Patricia Cornwell.
I am flattered to be accused of having a soft heart for the underdogs of the world as well as privileged to share the characteristic with and company of such a pious and kind hearted woman as Ruth Bell Graham. What a blessing! She surely is at home in Heaven tonight. Her suffering over, her journey complete.
So I say Thank-you for your kind comment. It is without a doubt, one of the nicest compliments I have ever been paid. It is a badge of honor I wear with great pride.

Crackah, I b'lieve Mr Mike is referin' to the new nickname Dwayne gave hisse'f, Criminal Dwayne (Crawford). Apparently, he called hisse'f that sev'ral times.
(Is that flamin'?)

Those of you at the meeting know there was some dissention among the council about the way this group was chosen. Everybody looked at the applications and then rated them from 1 to 27 (I think that's how many applications they received). Then they sent their list to Finance Officer Dana Luther, and she put together the list based on the council's votes.
Do you think this was a fair way to choose this group? One person thought the council should have interviewed the people, but evidently they had the option of contacting people individually if they wanted to (sounds like that's what John Wray did).
Do you think enough diversity is represented? (I guess that could be all kinds of stuff, from young people vs. retired, newcomers vs. longtime residents, business people vs. maybe stay-to-home moms, people in the development/real estate industry vs. those not, people who had served on committees before vs. those who had not been involved in town activities, etc. etc.) Becky seemed to think that when the public learns the makeup of the group, they will not support it or the plan these people put together. Do you agree?
(I've highlighted my questions so you can see what I'm asking.)
