They've sponsored this kind of event in the past and it was a key event for politicking back when July was the time for the primaries in Georgia (not so much now that the GOP moved the primary back to late May before even school is out and the Memorial Day festivities.) Anyway, is it going t o happen this year and if so, what is the date? Anyone know??? pubby

NJ: As I understand it these were official personnel complaints and everyone was doing their best to keep a lid on the issue so the county wouldn't be sued. As a woman, you know (as do we all) that only a portion of the women who are raped ever come forward and make formal complaints and only a small portion of those men who commit the crime are ever convicted. BTW: Not guilty does not mean 'innocent' just as an arrest doesn't always mean guilty. pubby

Folks memories are so short. We had, not a commission chairman who was a dog for the ladies, but a sheriff, whose exploits seemed to know no bounds ... especially once he was elected. While it was public knowledge during his tenure that he was hitting on every female vendor and female deputy in the county - I recall two or three federal lawsuits in addition to the rumors. What was not known until he sought re-election and a brave 16 year old girl called the GBI, was that he liked the young one's too - bathing with the then 11 year old girl, her father a buddy from the military that he kept

It is in this context that Newt's assertion that we need to include stockpiles of Faraday cage protected transformers for the electrical grid - a $20 billion project - that could return electric transmission to broad areas of the country in the case of a serious electromagnetic pulse. This is one of the costs of a modern society where there are forces, entities that see benefit in disruption or disruption as a reaction to change. Given the potential of any number of biologic agents and the ability of nefarious forces to deploy them, these stockpiles are little more than insurance against

I got you LR... it was their error. You don't intersect with GA 92 going north on Bill Carruth until you come to the intersection of GA 120 and GA 92 where Stars and Strikes is. The folks at the DOT are confused. pubby

Don't you mean US 278 /SR 120? SR 92 only intersects with Bill Carruth pkwy south of Hiram - literally at the bottom center of the U on a map of the Hiram bypass. pubby PS: Thanks for posting.

The people perpetrating the scam typically hack another persons/company's site and inject code that brings up that page, usually with accompanying set of bells and whistles. Usually, the thing successfully highjacks your browser and limits what else you can do but often does not infect your computer with a re-curing problem (unless you follow their instructions). Unplug the computer or hit the reset button and there is a good chance you've just dodged a bullet. It is a good idea to run malwarebytes or some other anti-virus program but there is a good chance you've not been compromised by

I was talking to Sgt. Henson directly about this incident while you were posting bits others were reporting. I didn't even look at the site between the time I interviewed him and I posted the story I got directly from the horses mouth ... so I didn't even ask the question of whether it was good enough ... it never came up. pubby PS: Mojo ... your logic is unassailable regarding the potential threat posed by undocumented stalker based on his armament. (We don't really know how real the threat was because we don't know the background of the threat. Hence, there is some possibility t

From what he said, he wasn't worrying about that; only surviving a stalker whom he believed was on task to kill him meaning he had to run, run, run like his life depended on it. If you take his statement at face value, you will conclude either he was mentally ill (paranoid) and off his meds, mentally ill with paranoid feelings exacerbated by non-prescription drugs or ... it isn't paranoia if they really are after you. No one observed anyone in pursuit of the individual lending credibility to the other options. pubby

I heard a slew of mailboxes were knocked down/run down on Bobo Road overnight. Any one have any more information ... can they confirm it? pubby

I really loved the second post about knife violence in Great Britain. Here's the headline: In The UK, Guns Aren't The Problem, It's Knives. And The Number Of Attacks Are SurgingAnd the degree of that surge? Overall, knife crime rose by 2% in the 12 months up to March this year, said the Office for National Statistics. That is what I call pro-gun propaganda by headline. Oh, and in all of Britain, apparently the number of people carrying knives (I'm going to assume switchblades or something more menacing than the pen knife or multi-tool knives we all carry.) was up 1000 people - at

ABR: And when I look at the record, it is the GOP that insist on cutting taxes and borrowed money to build things like bridges to nowhere while piling up debt during economic growth cycles. I'm beginning to believe those who see Red are really blind in their right eye. pubby

Ask yourself, would you rather face off against an older woman armed with a knife or a gun? With a knife, why you might be able to get one of those frying pans. Or if you were young, you could probably out run the old woman. Maybe even lock yourself in a room. All these options evaporate when you face a woman with a gun. As we said in my youth playing cops and robbers; bang, bang, you're dead. There sure are a lot of ways to commit murder. But if you were facing off against your mother in law, would you rather she have a gun, a knife or a crowbar as she stand five feet from you

My condolences. I don't know if I met her or not. Don't rent many cars. pubby

First, no one says we should eliminate all guns. Second, I wouldn't characterize that world as perfect with no guns just as I wouldn't suggest this world is perfect with 300 million guns. I certainly wouldn't think it would be any more perfect with 400 million guns. Similarly, I don't think we need 300 million jet airplanes though I suspect, even if we eliminate all aircraft, people would still travel from east to west coast. How many guns do we need? How many gun deaths do we need. Would we be better off with fewer? ... and if that fewer gun deaths included a person you love, wou

Thank you Jamie ... for raising my profile from small town internet publisher to part of the next President's media cartel ... And I thought I was having an original thought I'll add the Islamist part if you'll refer to folks like the SC Church shooter, McVeigh (OKC Bombing), the Atlanta Olympic Park bomber, and myriad of aboortzion doctor assassins as a "right wing fundamentalist Christians" or the Sien Fien or IRA bombers as Catholic terrorists or the Branch Dividians with LDS. The reason no one does that, you know, is because these domestic terrorists do not and should not

Yes ... recognize that the bad thing about guns is they are so good at what they do. They've taken many friends of mine and I suspect, as long as everyone pussyfoots around their lethality, they'll take more. And all you can say is don't remind me there are enough guns for every man, woman and child in the country in the hands of the citizenry and any object, that lethal and that available is going to increase the level of killing and that means more people are going to be shot dead. pubby

This topic began with surepip's discussion of the tragic loss of Jenna Wall, a Cobb schoolteacher who was killed in a domestic dispute with her mother in law. The part of the discussion that deals with prayers and condolence has been split from this topic to a new topic asking for condolences only please. While some are disturbed by the expansive nature of this discussion into issues ranging from the wide acceptance and easy availability of guns to the nature of the adversarial family courts, other find these discussions challenging and illuminating. If you don't want to be drawn i

Not necessarily, especially when you understand that insurance works by spreading the risk. I.e. with more people - 700,000 - covered by medicaid expansion, would be funneling significantly more insurance dollars into the medical industry. The hospitals, we'll say in South Georgia, that are about to close because of the number indigent patients, raise the cost of care on the paying customers to make up for the shortfall. Those kinds of cost increases trickle back down to you in the new premiums. You might shop for more affordable insurance. I suspect that it is out there, even for those

Congress declares war. The GOP controls both houses of Congress. They, and they alone, could declare war. Obama, and I would support him in this, would veto the declaration I believe and I doubt the GOP Congress could override ... but I see no interest in the GOP Congress to do ... well ... anything about anything so I guess we both might agree they're lazy. You're right, this is not our fathers Shia Muslim terrorism, which can be brutal but, hey, all our embassy folks got out alive in 1980. Since both Shia and Sunni sects (and numerous sub-sects) make up Islam, I can't buy Radica

A couple of notes: The biggest recipient of funds in this report went to Customs enforcement, Border Patrol and ICE and of course, like all such spending, is authorized by Congress ... in this case the GOP Congress elected in 2010. Seems this is exactly what you folks want ... a stronger, more militant border and the basic capacity to round up illegals in the interior, whom I assume can buy guns using the same loopholes as the crazies. Other, 'so-called' bureaucracies receiving money for purchase of guns and ammo included the secret service, FBI (DOJ), FEMA and ... drum roll please ..

I guess where I have a problem NJ is that issues like due process seem only to count when you're dealing with the second amendment. To wit: not a word by you or other conservatives regarding the illegal stop that led to the illegal search that was somehow justified because the person illegally stopped had a warrant. pubby
