More Court Action For Stockbridge?

More Court Action For Stockbridge?

It looks like there will be more Court action for the city of Stockbridge. After a fiery debate at the July 30th 2019 work session meeting. Near the end of the meeting the city council took up a resolution to censure councilman Alexander. the censure came on the heels of an article in the Henry Daily Herald about councilman Alexander falsely accusing the city council members of not supporting certain initiatives that he believes should be front and center. The initiatives are a senior center and youth center for the citizens of Stockbridge. Councilman Alexander on his Facebook page said that the city council did not support the centers to be built. In actuality the city council does support the centers to be built, however they must go through a process in order for it to be done legally.  Councilman Alexander in the past has done things like this on his Facebook account that has led him to be censured before. Councilwoman Gantt read the censure document however she was constantly being interrupted by councilman Alexander at one point councilman Alexander held a manila folder up to his face while still interrupting councilwoman Gantt. This shows councilman Alexander's lack of moral fiber in conducting himself as an adult. It seems to this writer he acts more like a child who has been caught with his hand in the cookie jar and does not want to face the consequences of his actions. At multiple points in the meeting it appeared to be a free-for-all as the mayor seemed to not have the meeting in control and was flabbergasted at the whole situation asking multiple times of the City attorney what he should do. 

During councilman Alexander's rebuttal of the charges he kept saying that his first amendment rights were being violated.  Councilman Alexander does not understand the Constitution of the United States of America of which he swore to uphold when he became a councilman. He does not believe in freedom of speech I know this first-hand. when I ask to speak to the city council to request a Confederate Memorial Day Proclamation he set out to not have me speak at all and he has boasted about that on his Facebook page. Councilman Alexander kept requesting that his Facebook postings were private.  Councilman Alexander in the opinion of this writer is a moron and should be thrown out of office. Councilman Alexander  has disrupted the city workings of Stockbridge since he became a councilman nearly four years ago. It is because of him that the city has been in court on numerous occasions and it appears now they will be headed back to court. Councilman Alexander said at this meeting he will take the city to court for violating his First Amendment rights to free speech. One can only hope that the judge will see through the shenanigans of councilman Alexander and maybe just throw him in jail and throw away the key or find a nice padded cell for him that would be the best thing for Stockbridge and her citizens.  Stockbridge you can do a lot better than councilman Alexander.  A bowl of limp noodles would be better in my opinion.

What Is Wrong With People Today

What Is Wrong With People Today

I grew up in the 70’s and early 80’s. I remember back then people were different than they are today and it’s not for the better. Back then you could count on your neighbors and friends to help out when times were tough. We came together to help each other when someone got sick or lost a job and needed to get food people would help them out without even being asked. I remember helping friends and family as a child and it always felt good to be able to help. I also remember being down to having to pick up aluminum cans so we could eat breakfast that day. I have been on both sides of being poor and being okay and just getting by. 

Six years in Federal Law enforcement I have seen some ugly things that would turn your stomach and make a maggot puke. But what I am seeing today makes me sick down to the core of my being. That is the war that is being waged on poor people by people that call themselves Christians, but they are far from it. 

For some time I have been trying to sell a few things so I can get the house that I have paid for while being on disability in my name. The people that I bought it from died and their children can’t be found. So, to get the home in my name I have to go to the courts to get a judge to sign off on it. This costs money as well as what I have to pay my attorney. To pay for my home I sacrificed a lot. I lived on bologna sandwiches, I cut my utilities down as much as I could. As for a social life I had none, no movies, eating out was not done. All this took a toll on my health. I have heart failure, I am diabetic that has caused my feet and legs to go numb so walking is hard and is getting harder every day. 

I have sold only one thing on Facebook. In my posts, I ask people to share the post if they are not interested in what I have for sale so more people would see it. But only two-three have done so. No one seems to care whatsoever, no one even asked how I am doing with it. I even posted a poll to ask what I should do. I got one saying I should not start a go fund me to see if I could get donations. One said yes and about four said to do both sales and do the go fund me, I even had one said who cares. 

What hurts the most is that when I post something about my love I lost on 9/11 just a few of my so-called friends say or do anything on the post, that I will not stand for at all. When my Cousin Mike Moon moved from next door from me he asked four of our friends to keep a check on me to make sure I was okay. That was three plus years ago and only one of our friends has done that. The other three I have not heard from them, but one did call me because they wanted me to do something for them. Note get this one friend lives about 200 yards from me and I have not heard not one thing from them at all. It reminds me of what my Mom would say that they are just “two-faced sons of bitches”. 

I have run tests on Facebook with the help of a family member that we both have a good number of friends in common. We post the same thing like a photo of the American flag or a puppy. We give it 24 to 48 hours and look at the results. The family member would have a lot more likes than my post sometimes 4 to 1 or more. Sometimes I would get nothing at all. That tells me something about most of our friends we share please note I said most not all. For me, it’s not about being popular I just don’t want to be ignored. Sometimes I post very important stuff and it is ignored with no likes. I could understand if I had done something wrong to someone, but I try to help anyone I can. It makes no sense to a sane person that would like to help and now needs some help. I am at my wit's end as to what is wrong with people cause I know it’s not me, I have done my best to help others. People need to start acting right and stop acting like a child who wants his way all the time. Act more like a Christian and God would look on you with more favor.
