ha. i recall getting caught in a roundabout in galway city, ireland, and couldn't figure out how to get out of galway city for almost an hour. on my last few trips to europe, i mastered the logic of 12, 3, 6, 9, as on a clock, and was able to drive through the traffic with no difficulties.
Suffice it to say, I am not the most well liked person on the forum. I was raised in an environment where having an opinion was noble, and voicing it was considered a right afforded by members of my military family. I may not always agree with everyone on the forum, but I would go to my grave to allow them the right to say what they want, even when its calling me a human piece of garbage, as RSSCO did in another post. Rssco has the right to his/her opinion, whether I agree with it or not. Just as Boodog did, and a few others.
Even though I may throw invisible verbal darts from time to time, I would NEVER consider going after some posters here on a personal level, i.e., calling someone's employer, or trying to jeopardize someone's job, safety or well being, as a few have done to me. This is a blog spot after all. I have remained nameless for those very reasons.
It goes against all I believe in to supply the Pilot with my personal information. If I wanted someone to know who I was, I would simply spell it out. In a small town such as Steamboat, it is simply too easy to discover the identity of someone and then go on a personal vendetta rampage against them.
There are some posters who know who I am. They know my number, name and where I live. We may not always agree, but I trust them and know that regardless of any disagreements I may have with them, I am not going to wake up and find my car sprayed with paint. Ido4sp makes a valid point in one of his previous posts with regard to personal retributions.
With that said, my days of posting are numbered. This has been a nice source of entertainment since its inception. I wish all the fellow posters good luck on their decision as to reveal themselves or not. Keep posting if you wish, I will enjoy reading, silently and without keystrokes!
"...I find it impossible to believe that the presence of a woman in her 50's and 2 young girls in their own home at 1 a.m. could possible have justified Officer Foster's action..."
Deadhead: Criminal history easily demonstrates that women in their 50's, and young girls have been known to carry loaded firearms and shoot police officers.
I did obtain the recall paperwork months ago, but due to my mother's failing health and then subsequent kidney transplant, had to put my efforts on the back burner.
A number of people have contacted me, and from the tone of recent forum comments with regard to the latest legal woes for our Sheriff, it seems prudent now to re-introduce the idea of a recall.
If anyone is interested in joining in a recall effort to remove Mr. Wall from office, please contact me, via the forum PM system or at ceroaguscraic@yahoo.com.
I would appreciate only serious interests, and no bash festing.
Looking forward to hearing from those interested in being part of the solution.
truthingov't; A LITTLE BIRD TOLD ME THAT mACKEY IS LEADING THE DEPT IN DUI ARRESTS. if this is true (i don't doubt it) then i say bully and bravo.
i don't think that mackey's stuff with the sspd is relevant to this issue. whatever happened with that...its in the past.
for whomever said that the majority of people on this blog would have done the same thing - not true i hope. telling the truth regardless of the outcome is always the best avenue to take. being able to walk away with your head held high is worth something.
it really does sadden me that mackey is taking heat on this, but the bottom line is that, if the court reporter covered it correctly, there are 2 vastly different scenarios being covered here, and some people are going to have to make the intelligent choice as to who is more on the up and up. eldridge's resignation leads some to believe that he may be the person with a more astute dialogue.
i am more sorrow filled that the entire department, eldridge and mackey included, have been marred by this whole thing.
All those rosaries have paid off. Thank you Mother Mary. Hopefully Gary will do the right thing and slink off to some hole and let the decent, hard working law enforcement officers of routt county do their job without being marred by their boss's inability to accept reality.
