Dixie Mafia - Chapter 5: How to Marginalize An Opponent in Three Easy Steps
Part IV: Just How Bad Was This Guy?
In Part III, we looked at the first of several cases we will be running in answer to Bobby Lee Cook’s challenge to Ben Ballenger to “Name one, name just one” case in which members of his law firm, Cook and Connelly, had appeared before Cook’s own daughter, and his law partner’s wife, Judge Kristina Cook Connelly. In Case Number # 98-CR-14,1802, the defendant was charged with Murder, Felony Murder, and Cruelty to Children. The Defendant had allegedly shaken the baby causing such severe brain trauma, the child died. Rex Abernathy of Cook & Connelly represented the defendant, but the District Attorney, Buzz Franklin did not ask for Judge Connelly to recuse herself, nor did Judge Connelly take it upon herself to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
The Defendant was found “Not Guilty” on all three counts. But in part of the record prepared for Presentation during the trial, DA Franklin filed a “Notice of Prosecution’s intent To Present Evidence of Similar Transactions”.
Eight separate incidences of violence against children were documented. According to the document filed on August 14, 1998:
1) The Defendant, on the 21st day of December, 1994, did intentionally make contact of an insulting and provoking nature, towit: he did pick [name withheld] up and throw her on the floor of residence at 112 Scoggins Street, Summerville, Chattooga County, Georgia.
2) The Defendant, on or about the 1st Day of March, 1995, did intentionally make contact of an insulting and provoking nature on numerous occasions in that he would shake his infant daughter, said incidents occurring at the residence at 112 Scoggins Street, Summerville, Chattooga County, Georgia.
3) The Defendant, on or about June 1995, did intentionally make contact of an insulting and provoking nature in that he threw the remote control at his infant daughter, striking her in the head, said incident occurring in Chattooga County, Georgia.
4. The Defendant, on or about the 15th day of October, 1995, did intentionally make contact of an insulting and provoking nature in that he did strike [Child’s name withheld], then a three year old child, said incident occurring at Joan Wood’s Daycare Center in Trion, Chattooga County, Georgia.
5. The Defendant, on or about the 12th day of December, 1997, did intentionally make contact of an insulting and provoking nature in that he did strike [Child’s name withheld] said incident occurring at 201 First street, Summerville, Chattooga County, Georgia.
6. The Defendant, on or about the 21st day of December 1997, and the 5th day of March, 1998, did intentionally make contact of an insulting and provoking nature in that he didFracture the leg of [Child’s name withheld], said incident occurring at 201 first street, Summerville, Chattooga County, Georgia.
7. The Defendant, on or about the 21st day of December, 1997, and the 5th day of March, did intentionally make contact of an insulting and provoking nature in that he did fracture the arm of [Child’s name withheld], said incident occurring at 201 First street, Summerville, Chattooga County, Georgia.
8. The Defendant, on or about the 8th day of October, 1997, did intentionally make contact of an insulting and provoking nature in that he did cause bruises and scratches to the left side of the face of [Child’s name withheld], said incident occurring at Rout 2, box 202, Summerville, Chattooga County, Georgia.
So, how did this monster get off, being found not guilty of the obvious Shaking death of this eighteen month old child? We will conclude on Friday.

Part III: Break the Very Law You Hold Others Accountable For
I apologize for the lateness of this posting, but since I have begun this series on the Dixie Mafia, I have been threatened in several specific incidences, and taking measures this week has consumed a good deal of time:
First, someone left a item at my door, tied directly to Summerville, Georgia,after breaking off a lock pick inside my lock at that door. It was the Saturday morning of the Georgia Florida football game.
Next, after responding to a comment by someone posting to this website, the phone rang, and when my answering machine picked up, two semi-automatic gunshots were fired as a warning.
That was Friday, November 9th, 2007.
Then, on Monday, December 3, 2007, I was served with a subpoena to be deposed in a law suit in Chattooga County that I know nothing about. The Plaintiff is Janice Galloway and her attorney is Bobby Lee Cook.
NOW, fourth in a very clear pattern of intimidation in an effort to stifle the free press, I have been served with a $1,000,000.00 law suit by Bobby Lee Cook, Rex Abernathy and John Dennis, on behalf of Ed and Brenda Hammit, for a comment a reader posted on my website in reference to this very Feature Story.
It is because of this long documented pattern of intimidation by Bobby Lee Cook and those in his control, that I continue this series. I will note that I have been contacted by many attorneys across several states, who wish to remain anonymous, who tell of stories of intimidation through litigation orchestrated by Bobby Lee Cook. One attorney I spoke with on the phone, Mark Spix, of Spix & Krupp, LLC, shared with me that he was the object of one of Bobby Lee Cook’s famously orchestrated straw client law suits, as was Mr. Ballenger of this past week’s Feature Story, and as I have now been, simply because he was so successful in litigation time and again against Bobby Lee Cook.
Mark Spix, won, by the way.
As so many attorneys and members of law enforcement have told me in this last week since I have been served, Bobby Lee Cook and other members of his law firm find it difficult to win outside of Chattooga County, where they do not control the judges, Sheriff and DA. It is not that Bobby Lee Cook is such a brilliant attorney. It is that Bobby Lee Cook intimidates and controls within his little fiefdom.
This past week we detailed the case of attorney Ben Ballenger, who is the object of one of Bobby Lee Cook’s manipulations. It is a case which is ongoing, and Mr. Ballenger cannot discuss it, although I have interviewed others related to this case, and reviewed the court documents.
Earlier this year, in an effort to intimidate Mr. Ballenger, Bobby Lee Cook conducted an interview in a case in which Mr. Ballenger was attempting to collect a fee from a client he had represented. But the real impetus of the deposition was the Confidential Affidavit attached to his Motion to Recuse which Mr. Ballenger filed relative to the case we have been detailing this last week. The Motion to Recuse was filed by Ben Ballenger against Bobby Lee Cook’s daughter, Chattooga County Superior Court Judge Kristina Cook Connelly.
During the course of the deposition, Bobby Lee Cook spent a good deal of time trying to humiliate Mr. Ballenger, using the Martindale Hubble book, asking Mr. Ballenger if he could find his name in the book. Martindale Hubble is a rating service for attorneys in the United States, to which most prestigious law firms submit information to be rated. However, because there is a substantial fee to be evaluated and rated, many smaller firms or individual attorneys find the cost too prohibitive to pay to be included in the rating service.
Also during the course of the deposition, as Cook grilled Ballenger about the deposition, he challenged Ballenger on one of the allegations in the Confidential Affidavit, that Judge Kristina Cook Connelly regularly heard cases involving members of her father and husband’s, (now deceased) law firm, for which she should have recused herself. Bobby Lee Cook challenged Mr. Ballenger to “Name One”.
Herewith, we meet Mr. Cook’s challenge:
We will not spend a whole lot of time in the details of this case, because the Defendant, whom we will not even name, was found “Not Guilty” in Judge Kristina Cook Connelly’s court. Representing the defendant? Rex Abernathy, of Cook & Connelly. The senior and managing partners of the law are Bobby Lee Cook , Judge Connelly’s father, and Branch Connelly, Judge Connelly’s husband.
The basic of the case, # 98-CR-14,1802 in Chattooga County, involved the day of March 5, 1998, when the defendant allegedly shook an 18 month old baby so hard, that he died. According to the three indictments against the Defendant, (Murder, Felony Murder and Cruelty to Children), the Defendant caused “excessive physical pain by violently shaking him”, and caused the death “by violently shaking him”.
District attorney Howard “Buzz” Franklin had taken the case to the Grand Jury, who returned the three indictments. But as everyone knows, if you want to get off on murder in Chattooga County, (assuming you have been caught in the first place), you get an attorney from the law firm of Cook & Connelly. And that is what the defendant did. Rex Abernathy of Cook & Connelly was assigned to the case, and the case was assigned to Cook & Connelly’s daughter & wife - Judge Kristina Cook Connelly.
So, what does the Cannon of Ethics for judges say about this?
Cannon 3-E Reads:
E. Disqualification
(1) Judges shall disqualify themselves in any proceeding in which theirimpartiality might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited toinstances where:Commentary: Under this rule, judges are subject to disqualification whenevertheir impartiality might reasonably be questioned, regardless of whether any ofthe specific rules in Section 3E(1) apply. For example, if a judge were in theprocess of negotiating for employment with a law firm, the judge would bedisqualified from any matters in which that firm appeared, unless thedisqualification was waived by the parties after disclosure by the judge.Judges should disclose on the record information that the court believes the partiesor their lawyers might consider relevant to the question of disqualification, evenif they believe there is no legal basis for disqualification.The rule of necessity may override the rule of disqualification. For example, ajudge might he required to participate in judicial review of a judicial salarystatute, or might be the only judge available in a matter requiring immediatejudicial action, such as a hearing on probable cause or a temporary restrainingorder. In the latter case, the judge must disclose on the record the basis for possibledisqualification and use reasonable efforts to transfer the matter to anotherjudge as soon as possible.
(a) the judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party or aparty’s lawyer, or personal knowledge* of disputed evidentiary factsconcerning the proceeding;
(b) the judge served as a lawyer in the matter of controversy, or a lawyerwith whom the judge previously practiced law served during suchassociation as a lawyer concerning the matter, or the judge has been amaterial witness concerning it;
Commentary: A lawyer in a government agency does not ordinarily have anassociation with other lawyers employed by that agency within the meaningof Section 3E(1)(b); judges formerly employed by a governmental agency,however, should disqualify themselves in a proceeding if their impartialitymight reasonably be questioned because of such association.
(c) the judge or the judge’s spouse, or a person within the third degree ofrelationship* to either of them, or the spouse of such a person, or anyother member of the judge’s family residing in the judge’s household*:(i) is a party to the proceeding, or an officer, director, or trustee ofa party;(ii) is acting as a lawyer in the proceeding;(iii) is known* by the judge to have a more than de minimis*interest that could be substantially affected by the proceeding;(iv) is to the judge’s knowledge* likely to be a material witness inthe proceeding.Commentary: The fact that a lawyer in a proceeding is affiliated witha law firm with which a relative of the judge is affiliated does not ofitself disqualify the judge. Under appropriate circumstances, the fact that“the judge’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned” under Section3E(1), or that the relative is known by the judge to have an interest inthe law firm that could be “substantially affected by the outcomeof the proceeding” under Section 3E(1)(c)(iii) requires the judge’sdisqualification.
So, should Judge Kristina Cook Connelly recused herself. Yes, most probably. But when she did not automatically step aside, the District Attorney should have asked her to, so, WHY DID HE NOT even attempt to ask her to recuse herself. (Hmmmm). Because the law firm of Cook & Connelly was on the defense, and if you oppose Bobby Lee Cook, then you might find your next election fixed for your opponent.
So members of Cook and Connelly appear before Kristina Cook Connelly’s bench regularly, and time and again she refuses to recuse herself.
This is why Ben Ballenger filed the Confidential Affidavit, to have Judge Kristina Cook Connelly recuse herself in Gerald Emery’s Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment, and Motion for New Trial.
The pattern was already established when attorney John Dennis, and his clients, Ed and Brenda Hammitt, sued Mr. Ballenger’s client, Gerald Emery. John Dennis is pretty much tied to the hip of Bobby Lee Cook in many of his law suits, as evidenced this past week, by the law suit brought against me. Notice any familiar names? Plaintiffs Ed and Brenda Hammitt, same Plaintiffs in the Gerald Emery case Ben was defending. Same attorney, John Dennis, but this time associated with Bobby Lee Cook and Rex Abernathy.
This is why Ben Ballenger fights against the system in Chattooga County. And Ben Ballenger’s attempts through the years to try to rectify the Good Old Boy- Bobby Lee Cook system of Justice in Chattooga County, (aka Corruption), is why Bobby Lee Cook has a vendetta against Ben Ballenger, Ben Ballenger’s family, and anyone else who dares to expose the Cartel for what it is, even little old grandma reporters in Rome, Georgia.
Part II: Go After Friends and Family
Now we know that on November 22, 2006, one week after Ben Ballenger filed his client’s answer to the law suit, John Dennis appeared before Judge Kristina Cook Connelly, not having noticed Ben Ballenger, and asked for a Default Judgment against Ben Ballenger’s client, Gerald Emery. We know that John Dennis claimed that Ben Ballenger neglected to pay the filing fee for filing an answer past the 30 day deadline. We know that on November 27, 2006, still without any notice to Ben Ballenger that there had even been a hearing, Judge Kristina Cook Connelly, entered a judgment against Ben Ballenger’s client in the amount of $110,000.00.
So, Ben Ballenger filed a Motion for New Hearing and a Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment. He also filed a Motion to Disqualify Judge Kristina Cook Connelly, because of the long standing and well known, (about town), animosity between Mr. Ballenger and Bobby Lee Cook, his law firm and Bobby Lee Cook’s daughter, Judge Kristina Cook Connelly. To support his motions, as Georgia Code allows, Mr. Ballenger filed a Confidential Affidavit. The affidavit outlined illegal activities by the group, specifically that members of Bobby Lee Cook’s law firm, including Judge Connelly’s husband, Branch Connelly, regularly appeared before Judge Connelly representing clients - an obvious and gross violation of the Cannons of Ethics for lawyers and judges.
Judge Connelly refused to recuse herself, and in a flagrant display of power, Judge Connelly sat over the Motion for New Trial/Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment, according to witnesses, Bobby Lee Cook sat front and center on the front row of the jury box, with Arch Farrar to his right, and Rex Abernathy, Carlton Vines and Jerry Westbrook all in attendance.
Wade Hoyt appeared on behalf of the Clerk of Court. You see, part of the argument on the Motion for New Trial/Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment, was the fact that when Mr. Ballenger had filed his client’s answer to the law suit, the Clerk neglected to collect the late fee. Mr. Ballenger’s arguments was, that if he had neglected to pay the late fee, then the clerk accepting the late filing, and logging it in to the computers, should have called his attention to the fact that the fee was due. It is Mr. Ballenger’s contention that on the day, when the clerk thought there was a missing fee, the clerk should have contacted Mr. Ballenger.
No such courtesy was paid this long time officer of the court, but just a few days after the deadline, John Dennis was in court getting a default judgment in front of Judge Connelly.So, the Clerk who was a key witness in this case was represented by Wade Hoyt, III, of Mario Armas fame.
Of Course Judge Kristina Cook Connelly denied the Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment and Motion for New Trial.
Ben Ballenger was sure that the Georgia Court of Appeals would reverse Judge Connelly’s ruling. It has had to do so in the past. According to court documents, Ben Ballenger agreed to represent Gerald Emery for free at the appeal, and promised Emery that if he did not win the appeal for Emery, that he, Ben Ballenger would pay the $110,000.00 default for Emery.
Emery agreed, but shortly after, Ben Ballenger was contacted by Matthew D. Thames and told that Thames would be taking over the appeal. But we know that Thames made serious and gross errors in the appeal process, both filing it with the wrong court, (an Application for Discretionary Appeal goes to Georgia Court of Appeals, not the Georgia Supreme Court), and Thames neglected to include the transcript of the Hearing on the Motion to Set Aside Default Judgment.
Yet Mr. Thames convinced Gerald Emery to sue Ben Ballenger for malpractice. But that’s not all. Mr. Thames convinced Gerald Emery to sue Ben Ballenger’s ex-wife, Linda, for FRAUD.
Linda and Ben Ballenger were divorced in 2000, after twenty two years of marriage. Mr. Ballenger wanted to sell off all of the marital assets and split the proceeds, but Linda wanted to keep the charming old Cape Cod cottage in downtown Summerville. For several years, Linda Ballenger made all of the payments on the home. Several years after the divorce, Ms. Ballenger was able to refinance the home, and on January 17, 2006, she bought out Ben Ballenger’s portion for $5,000, and a deed was given to sever the claim by Mr. Ballenger to the home.
However, Linda neglected to file the deed until May 10, 2007.
So Thames convinced Gerald Emery that this was fraud, alleging that the Ballenger’s somehow knew what had not been decided yet - that the Georgia Court of Appeals would deny Thames’ appeal for Emery, which happened later that month. Even though the deed was transacted on January 17, 2006.
So add on top of what Emery is asking in the law suit from Ben Ballenegr, solely, ($435,000.00), Gerald Emery is asking for another $200,000 from Linda and Ben Ballenger jointly. The Grant Total for both Ben and Linda Ballenger? $635,000.00

Part I : Choose A Straw Plaintiff
Gerald Emery’s Application for Discretionary Appeal was denied by the Georgia court of Appeals, because his attorney did not follow the Very, Extremely Specific Rules set out by the Georgia Court of Appeals for filing an Application for Discretionary Appeal.
Any attorney who has practiced long enough to file a case with the Georgia Court of Appeals, knows from following the guideline booklet, that the if every “i” is not dotted, and every “t” not crossed, then the Court of Appeals is allowed to refuse to consider a case for appeal, which might other wise have been a good case.
Preparing for an appeal, preparing the file for an appeal, as any attorney will tell you, is an arduous process. I know because I have worked for attorneys before, and I have helped prepare appeals. An Application for Discretionary Appeal is filed to the Georgia Court of Appeals, not the Supreme Court of Georgia. The rules are very specific, anal, almost, but failure to meet one of the finest points, like binding the application on the side, instead of the top as required, will doom a case before it is even considered on its merits.
Appeals court rules and regulations are not the same as in the Uniform Rules of the Superior Court, where even if an attorney misses a deadline, he/she can buy some grace, pay a small fee, and file late.
Just a sample of some of the rules are:
(a) An application for leave to appeal a final judgment in cases subject to appeal under O.C.G.A. § 5-6-35 will be granted only when:Reversible error appears to exist; orThe establishment of a precedent is desirable.(b) Applications for discretionary appeal pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 5-6-35 should have copies of all material from the record tabbed and indexed and shall be securely bound at the top with staples or fasteners (round head or Acco). If not tabbed, indexed and securely bound at the top, the petition is subject to dismissal or return for preparation according to the Court’s rules. The material must be sufficient to apprise the Court of the appellate issues, in context, and support the arguments advanced. Applications are limited to 30 pages in civil cases and 50 pages in criminal cases, exclusive of attached exhibits and parts of the record, and should follow the general format of briefs as to margins.
These are just a few of the rules, but some of the very rules which Gerald Emery’s attorney Matthew D. Thames, of Goddard, Thames, Hammontree & Bolding, LLC, did not follow.
According to an affidavit filed by former Solicitor General, Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, Samford M. (Buddy) Hill:
“Emery’s appellate counsel, Matthew D. Thames, failed to meet the standard required of attorneys representing parties prosecuting appeals to the Appellate Courts of Georgia. Thames filed in the wrong appellate court, and failed tp present errors committed by the trial court to the appellate court, which would have reversed the trial court’s action”
Buddy Hill’s affidavit continues:
“Thames’ failure to properly present the issue requiring recusal of the trial judge due to violation of O.C.G.A. 15-1-8 and Cannon 3E of the Code of judicial Conduct fell below the standard required by appellate attorneys in Georgia. Thames’ mishandling of Emery’s appeal violated Rules 1.1 and 1.3 of the Rules for Professional Conduct as is established by the State Bar of Georgia”.
Mr. Thames left out the very necessary and critical part of the record which proves he has a case, the copy of the Transcript of the Hearing Requesting Judge Kristina Cook Connelly’s Recusal. But even more deadly, Mr. Thames filed his Application for Discretionary Appeal in the Georgia Supreme Court, INSTEAD of the Georgia Court of Appeals. Evan a paralegal would have known the difference.
WOW. Sounds like Mr. Emery should sue his attorney for malpractice. Indeed, Mr. Emery did file a malpractice suit, but not against Mr. Thames his appeals attorney. Mr. Emery filed a malpractice suit against Ben Ballenger, whom he retained in the summer of 2006, to handle an easement dispute.
You see, in June of 2006 Mr. Gerald Emery went to see Summerville attorney, Ben Ballenger about an easement dispute between he and Edward and Barbara Hammett. (Here we go with real estate disputes in Chattooga County). Settlement discussions during the summer did not yield a resolution, and so on September 27, 2006, the Hammett’s attorney, John R. Dennis, filed suit in Chattooga County Superior Court.
On October 5, Mr. Emery delivered the suit to Ben Ballenger, his attorney, and on October 6, the next day, Ballenger and Dennis Entered in to a Consent Order continuing the Rule Nisi Hearing on an Injunction. (Not a hearing on a Declaratory Judgment as the complaint alleges).
On October 6, Judge Ralph Hill continued the hearing until November 6, 2006. But according to court records, Mr. Ballenger sent Mr. Dennis a letter confirming their conversation to postpone the November until after November 20, 2006, at Mr. Dennis’ request, due to conflict Dennis had with other cases.
This is a practice most jurisdictions work with regularly, if one attorney has a conflict, or is not prepared, they will ask the opposing side to continue even longer than originally set. Agreements like this go on all the time, and are dependant on the “Gentlemen’s Word”, but always a good idea to follow up with a letter, which Ben Ballenger did.
While the original suit was filed on September 27, with a 30 day response time running, Ballenger’s answer on behalf of his client should have been filed no later than November 1, (30 Days plus three days for mail). But because hearings had been continued and then re-continued again, Mr. Ballenger filed his response later than 30 days, but still within the 45 day time limit.
Here is the problem. Although the Uniform Rules of the Superior Court allow for this sort of scheduling difficulty and untimely filings, if you file an answer more than 33 days after a suit had been filed, a fee must be paid to the court. No Big Deal. It happens every day in counties all across the state. File late, and you get assessed a fee.
Ballenger filed the answer to his client’s law suit on November 15, asking for a jury trial. During the week of November 20, not having noticed Ben Ballenger that he had put down a Rule Nisi Hearing date, John Dennis appeared before Judge Kristina Cook Connelly and asked for a Default Judgment against Ben Ballenger’s client, Gerald Emery. The reason? Dennis claimed that Ben Ballenger neglected to pay the filing fee for filing an answer past the 30 day deadline. On November 27, 2006, still without any notice to Ben Ballenger that there was supposed to be a hearing, nor that there had been a hearing, Judge Kristina Cook Connelly, whose father Ben Ballenger had been fighting for several decades, entered a judgment against Ben Ballenger’s client in the amount of $110,000.00.
Now, Matthew Thames, who should himself be sued by Mr. Gerald Emery, is suing Ben Ballenger on behalf of Mr. Emery for $300,000.00 in punitive damages, and $115,500.00 for special damages, and $20,000.00 attorneys fees. A grand Total of $435,500.00.
But Ben Ballenger is not the only casualty of the corruption in this case, and the malpractice by Matthew Thames’. Mr. Thames’ has also included Ben Ballenger’s ex-wife, Linda, in this case, for a transaction which occurred long before Mr. Emery ever approached Mr. Ballenger to represent him.

Friday: An answer to a challenge thrown down to Ben Ballenger by Bobby Lee Cook.
Comments (262)
come on guys everyone in chattooga county knows ben is joke for a lawyer
Dear Redneck -
Actually, Ben is respected down here in Floyd County. I have so many e-mails to one of my personal e-mail accounts, who are stunned at this secret, immediate, move by Dennis. I had no idea so many lawyers down here were reading and watching this webiste.
I have also already gotten several other stories from VERY respected attorneys from elsewhere in Georgia, NOT BEN, and from up in Chattannooga, Tennessee, all with similar stories, so, LET the GAMES BEGIN. This will carry us through in to the new year. Now that other attorneys keep seeing the same names of opposing counsel/judges pop up in decisions which made them scartch their heads and go, “Hmmmm”, they are beginning to speak out. The names John Dennis, Arch Farrar, Albert Palmour, Carlton Vines, Jerry Westbrook, Kristina Cook Connelly, Bobby Lee Cook - over and over and over in really bad law, bad decisons from the bench, illegal and questionable practices.
And circling, ever circling, are actions by Sheriff Ralph, (Auto Parts Boy), Kellett, and a certain PI.
I would not be surprised if there were suddenly a rash of Bar Complaints and Judicial Qualifications complaints filed in the coming months. I am already being asked for copies of files and documents on some of these civil cases I have. I guess they want to document their complaints with evidence of Patterns of Behavior.
Just my guess. It is not that I am encouraging that sort of resolution. I just have been around lawyers enough to know the warning signs of either impending litigation, or formal filing of complaints.
And everybody and his brother is asking for a copy of the BLC deposition of Ben Ballenger. I am going to have to go buy special packaging materials to start that. I may have to get permission from Ben Ballenger to start charging for that, so that I can have a side cottage industry. I have been told that there will be a concerted effort by attorneys up in the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit to start video tapping ALL depositions, at least when the Cartel is involved.
Did you get that? I used the word, “Cartel”. Would you like for me to define that word? I understand that BLC was unclear about that definition the other day in his depostion of Mayor Chuck Jones, Lyerly.
So Redneck/Shadow,
Did you ever re-check you information about Florida? You found out I have noting to hide, esepcially in Florida, didn’t you?
After reading your comments this past weekend, one of my CI’s called me and reminded me that last week, he and I had a converstaion about a local attorney’s illegal and immoral activities in Florida. (He thought that some of the pictures I took might relate to that event several years ago in Florida, since I had described different locations, different mix of people, over a period of what seems to be several years). We were both on cell phones, and since I live on the hilly side of a mountain, we are guessing your PI intercepted PARTS of that conversation. But we were only talking about one of BLC’s puppet attorneys down here, one with whom he met at the Partridge recently. Poor man - he is headed down the same path as Carlton Vines, I fear, drinking himself in to oblivion.
So, the “Florida” activities your PI told you I was discussing recently, and which you referenced on this site, were actually about one of your own - not me. But your PI, or whoever was running your illegal eaves dropping mechanism, is apparently incompetent, at least in hill country, and could not record the full extent of the conversation to pick up on the fact that we were discussing someone else.
TW
Redneck, even someone new to the area can see our system here in Chattooga County is crooked. Anyone who spends any time at all talking to just about anybody, or even reading the Summerville News, will figure out there is a “clique” of sorts among the attorneys and judges in this town. It’s also well known that this clique is more than happy to financially rape this town.
Ben Ballenger is hated because he is not part of the clique, and opposes it. I was always a loner myself, never having wanted to be a part of a cliquie crowd, so I applaud the man.
Now, his being a rotten lawyer? I don’t know enough to know that for sure. He could be, or it could be that he’s a great lawyer who is thwarted by the clique every time he turns around.
bah! bah! bah! stop crying you have nothing but made up tales from tw and her other idiots that believe what she says .she is just trying to get even with the one’s who found her ex to be the better parent and so she is out for blood
Dear Redneck Sir,
Whenever anyone comes back at you with facts, you get so abusive. So ugly. So angry. I can only suggest that you might need to seek professional help. I believe that has been suggested to you before.
As I challenged you the other day, when you made allusions to something I did in Florida, come forward with it. Show it. Name it. BUt you cannot, because there is nothing about me which I have not already proclaimed to the world. I am not saint, and I have done things I regret, but nothing I mind sharing with anyone. My life is an open book, and that, sir, is what your camp cannot stand, what they cannot mount a defense against. There is nothing in some dark secret closet which you can use. If you have anything, it is probably already in that publication which I only refer to , NOT TO SELL BOOKS, but to offer up exposure to anything any body has questions about, even mistakes I have made, regrets I have.
So, as I told you last week, I will continue to print the facts of what happened in my own case, which is greatly elaborated in in the book, ALONG WITH MY MISTAKES.
Here is a brief synopsis of what happened in my case, something which you child porn lovers and cocaine users and bribe takers/payers do not seem to find objectionable:
Judge Salmon talked to my twelve year old son, in an ILLEGAL exparte meeting at the office of my drug addicted, sex-addicted, diagnosed sociopath, (by Savannah and Atlanta Psychiatrists) ex-husband’s lawyer. My son was told by Larry Salmon that if he “Chose” in court the next day to go live with his father, that he, Judge Salmon, would not have to put me in jail for some things he knew about me, (NOTHING), and that he would make my son’s father buy me a new house and a new car, and pay me money every month.
Does that answer your question, Mr. Redneck? Would you like to read some of the doctors reports about my ex-husband? You can buy my book, on line. You will see the documented evidence that my ex was so sick that he filed a false police report and beat himself up in the fact to cover for a cocaine binge during Easter weekend one time. That he was so sexually addicted that he had to be referred to Dr. Gene Abel in Atlanta for ammonia aversion treatments. He was supposed to continue ammonia aversion treatments for five years, but he quit after about eight week.
One time, when our son was three years old, he took him to Tybee Island, and left him alone, at the water’s edge. Later, he came back for my son, and took him to a hotel where he shot up with cocaine and heroine all day and night, and never fed our child. Our pastor finally found them, and had to dump the plentiful cocaine and porn. My son knew “Pastor Jack” and was so excited to see him, because he knew he would get food. My ex was slummed and passed out barely talking. My son bragged to the Pastor about having been a good boy, and not having gone in to swim in the water, while “Daddy went up to the gray house for a long time”.
So I did my research and fled to Rome.
But Judge Larry Salmon refused to read the doctors reports through eight years, and five filed cases. He did not care that Carlos Manero, my ex’s cocaine supplier, and convicted federal felon, (check the federal prisons and paroles website- he was sentenced the day before mandatory guidelines went in to place, thanks to my lawyer ex husband, and only served two years), came to my home and threatened me when I filed for divorce against my ex for the Tybee Island incident, which put my son’s life at such risk. Judge Larry Salmon did not care.
Judge Larry Salmon lifted the Chatham County Superior Court imposed mandatory monthly drug tests. He lifted the supervised visitation requirements for this sick and twisted man.
Judge Larry Salmon did not want to listen to the parents of classmates of my son’s, and church members who had known us for so long, who lined up in sequestered queue to testify about what a good parent I was. He just was too impatient to hear them testify.
You see, Redneck, there is a little more to the “Rest of the Story”. BUY a book and see what a sick SOB Larry Salmon sent my son to live with. Know that my son and I are very close now, always have been. All these years later, after he graduated from high school, he wanted to turn his back on his father, but I and my son-in-law encouraged him to forgive his father, and now, they actually have a decent relationship.
Get your facts straight. Mr. Redneck.
If you see this as just “losing a little law suit” then that says a ot about how twisted your value system is, and how skewed your reasoning is. I pity someone so out of touch with what is best for children and for society in general.
And Larry Salmon answers right to Rumplestiltskin.
TW
And, PS, Mr. RedNeck - just FYI, my daughter was grown, married and had children of her own when this happened. She filed a complaint against Larry Salmon and my ex’s atty, but to no avail. But she remembered how one time, when she was in trouble when she was about 13, and alone in the house, my ex went upstairs while she was showering, and pulled the curtain back, and watched her. When I came in the house and heard the commotion upstairs, I went up. His excuse? That if she was too immature to obey the rules of the house, the it meant she was still a child, and needed to be supervised while she was in the shower or the bath. That was shortly before he was diagnosed as a Primary Sexual addict, with the mainlining of the cocaine/heroine speedballs was secondary to the severity of the sexual addiction. That is who Larry Salmon ruled in favor of, through eight years of litigation. That is who Larry Salmon sent my son to live with, when he was a healthy, thriving, A-student who played first string Football & Basketball at his junior high, and also played in the band.
TW
Hey, Redneck, it just occurred to me. You are not one of my friends/supporters who are trying to stir up traffic are you? I know one frined of mine fromthe City of Rome told me last week or the week before, that when ever the “Nut jobs” posts to my site, it runs through the garpevine like wildfire, and peopl get on a snigger. He asked me if i could analyses traffic tied to the “Crazies”. I can break down daily stats in to hourly, with my service, but I have not done so.
Anyway, they were all titilated about Adama Al Sayed’s postings, because they knew who he was before I did. A lot of folks in Rome either went to Darlington, or send their kids there, (or both), and they all knew his whole story long before I did. Then, they all loved “Steadfast” ’s posts, but both of those individuals were for real.
Now love RedNeck and Shadow, too. Like my friend said, you can smell the anger and fear eminating from the monitor. But, if you are one of my friends, just trying to stir things up to increase my traffic, please do not do that, cause, that would be disingenuous and gratuitous. (Oohh, I sound like Johnny Cochran).
TW
why did you cut adama al sayed off were you afraid of what he knew or can you not handle the truth why threaten to take restraning warrents against him if he didn’t stop posting on your site wasssup with that
Dear Redneck,
Why do you think I cut Adam Al Sayed off? If you know him, (and I suspect you do) you should ask him if I cut him off. Then let me know what he says.
TW
redneck…..hey genius, let’s hear the “florida” story that will embarass TW. Let’s hear it? You said you knew about something that she did in Florida that was immoral, unethical or illegal…….let’s hear your evidence. You keep demanding evidence, but you provide none.
I know, I know……..You will not only NEVER provide this “evidence”, but you won’t even acknowledge the “Florida” incident that YOU brought up……………because you know you have screwed up and shown your ignorance.
This is not directed to redneck, but the remainder of the readers…….Notice closely in Redneck’s next post if he even acknowledges this claim he made about Teresa Watson in Florida….and notice if he offers the proof that he claimed to have…….His post will be funny, it will be scathing…it will teach me a lesson I’ll never forget and I’ll skulk away ashamed that I ever tried to match wits with the genius Redneck………..BUT, notice his claim of wrongdoing by TW in Florida will not be addressed at all, he will offer ZERO proof….the same thing he chides Teresa for supposedly doing. Don’t let Redneck throw you off track with cleverly worded insults or poorly disguised distraction tactics..
Noted distraction tactic: Teresa does complete article showing how Ben Ballenger got the shaft from one of the Chattooga Cartel, and Redneck’s response is “everyone knows Ben is a joke”…..well who cares? even if he is a joke, that doesn’t do a thing to discount Teresa’s story that Ben was screwed over illegally by these Chattooga Cartel………..
Remember guys, watch Redneck and let’s see when and if he ever backs up his claim that TW did something wrong in Florida….
Waiting 
hey fullofgas when did i say tw did something wrong in flordia i just asked about it and you have turned it around to make it a crime so now we see how stupid you are and how all of you take a comment and make it out to be a big story
Dear Redneck,
Okay, here is what you first said: “ACCORDING TO THE ROMENEWSWIRE.COM YOU ARE IN THE MINORITY ON YOUR VIEWS…TELL EVERYBODY WHAT WENT ON IN FLORIDA WHEN YOU WERE THERE”.
The you said, in another post: “what goes on in florida stays in florida? not always”
That is a clear insinuation that there is something about me and Florida which would embarrass me. Now, because I have put nothing on this website about Florida, (except the thrashing the BullDogs gave the Gators in Jacksonville several weeks ago), I have challenged you to come forwrad with what you alluded to. Only a coward would refuse to back up his threat.
You realized that what you heard in some PI’s report, gathered illegally last week from a phone converstaion between myself and a friend, which all of your camp thought must be about me, was in fact about one of you people, and now, you cannot back up your claim.
A classic case of letting your mouth overload you BUTTTTTTTT.
And, just as RomeGaSir predicted, Redneck, you are trying to turn it around on someone else. Make it RomeGaSirs’ fault that Redneck insinuated an allegation, and now cannot back it up. What are you 10? 11? Have you even reached puberty yet? Come up with another lame excuse. That is actually the hallmark of a sociopathis personality.
Pathetic, Redneck-Adam-John-Shadow. Really pathetic.
Teresa
Redneck, Waiting….. I think she got you told. How could she possibly be the “un-fit parent” when you’ve read her posts. She has documented facts as to the mental and physical condition of her ex and you still want to argue this with her? If you’ve got something of importance to say then bring it to the table. Show us that you’re a real man— If not, quit whinning.
Hey, Kayron,
I think that Redneck, Shadow, John and Adam are all related. They always accuse, but never produced. Just hot air, and seething vitriole, and nothing of substance. I hope all of those personalities get some help before they go VaTech on someone.
TW
she was unfit that is why the great judge salmon put the child where he felt it was safe
Dear Redneck, again, NO, I was not found unfit. Please produce the documents which would prove that.
Again, for your reading pleasure, here are the facts, which as i have said before, I guess do not upset too many chold porn addicts, and drug abusers and bribe takers/makers …..and by the way, you still owe me and my readers an explanation of “Florida”.
:
Dear Redneck:
Judge Salmon talked to my twelve year old son, in an ILLEGAL exparte meeting at the office of my drug addicted, sex-addicted, diagnosed sociopath, (by Savannah and Atlanta Psychiatrists) ex-husband’s lawyer. My son was told by Larry Salmon that if he “Chose” in court the next day to go live with his father, that he, Judge Salmon, would not have to put me in jail for some things he knew about me, (NOTHING), and that he would make my son’s father buy me a new house and a new car, and pay me money every month.
Does that answer your question, Mr. Redneck? Would you like to read some of the doctors reports about my ex-husband? You can buy my book, on line. You will see the documented evidence that my ex was so sick that he filed a false police report and beat himself up in the fact to cover for a cocaine binge during Easter weekend one time. That he was so sexually addicted that he had to be referred to Dr. Gene Abel in Atlanta for ammonia aversion treatments. He was supposed to continue ammonia aversion treatments for five years, but he quit after about eight week.
One time, when our son was three years old, he took him to Tybee Island, and left him alone, at the water’s edge. Later, he came back for my son, and took him to a hotel where he shot up with cocaine and heroine all day and night, and never fed our child. Our pastor finally found them, and had to dump the plentiful cocaine and porn. My son knew “Pastor Jack” and was so excited to see him, because he knew he would get food. My ex was slummed and passed out barely talking. My son bragged to the Pastor about having been a good boy, and not having gone in to swim in the water, while “Daddy went up to the gray house for a long time”.
So I did my research and fled to Rome.
But Judge Larry Salmon refused to read the doctors reports through eight years, and five filed cases. He did not care that Carlos Manero, my ex’s cocaine supplier, and convicted federal felon, (check the federal prisons and paroles website- he was sentenced the day before mandatory guidelines went in to place, thanks to my lawyer ex husband, and only served two years), came to my home and threatened me when I filed for divorce against my ex for the Tybee Island incident, which put my son’s life at such risk.

WELL HE FOUND YOUR EX TO BE A MORE SUITABLE PARENT THAN YOU SO HE GOT THE KID AND YOU GOT ALIFE FULL OF MISERY SO YOU HAVE TO BLAME EVERYONE ELSE
Dear Redneck - WHERE’S FLORIDA?
NO, sir, read what I have posted. He did not find my ex more sutable than me. he found my ex RICH enough to pay his price, and was willing to break the law to intimidate my son into thinking He, Larry Salmon, had something against me. My 12 year old son.
SO, Once again, here we go for the record:

notice, still no answer on the florida story…I ought to be a psychic…
Love, fullofgas (I wish, it’s $3 a gallon)
Redneck, I am not sure I follow. What does TW’s child custody case have to do with the BLC Cartel in Chattooga County? How are the two connected? I’m not from here, so maybe I do not see what Judge Salmon has to do with the others in Chattooga (as far as I know, they are unrelated) and you and your camp can… fill us newbies in, please.
Seems to me, if it were a vendetta issue, she would be digging for dirt on Salmon and other judges/attorneys in Floyd County. So… your argument seems a wee bit off to me.
c grunig tw blames judge salmon and blc for her losing her kid instead of her self so now the judge and blc and every lawyer ,judge and anyone else from chattooga county are in the MAFIA and rape ,steal and kill as they please if you don’t believe me just ask tw or fullofgas
Dear Redneck,
I do blame Larry Salmon. Larry Salmon answers to the Cartel, for Floyd County.
AND, you ar eright, the Dixie Mafia does exactly that , Rapes, steals, kills and all sorts of things. They are worse than the Italian American Mob. Do your research, and find out for yourself. Don’t take my word…Be a man and check out the facts in Books, or on-line. Or, are you too bent over from kissing Papa Rump’s backside to be able to stand up straight and walk like a man?
fullofgas buy my book for the rest of the story on florida if you want to know
Dear Redneck -
Tell us where to buy your book, and I will buy one for me, and for Rome Georgia Sir. I just would have to figure how to send it to him.
TW
redneck…it would be a funny joke if you actually had a book……but you don’t and she does.
And once again I point out……….no evidence, no mention of your implication…..it has just disappeared……
It’s not crazy to think that someone fed you some bullcrap, you bought it, and now you just don’t know what to say…..so you change the subject.
Notice, still no answer from redneck on the florida story. ZERO
Redneck if the people here are idiots,however, it seems to me you
are posting here( I assume your not an idiot) correct?
Dear WoW-
LOL - Poor little fellow, that Redneck, (he does the term a dis-service by the way). He is not grown up enough to sit at the big table with the grownups who deal in logic.
TW
As I said on Saturday, redneck just keeps everyone tuning in for the latest comments. I needed a good laugh and he surely satisfied that need.
I am still anxiously waiting for his story about Florida. However I do not think he will ever deliver.
redneck? HELLO!!!!!!!!????? Florida? 
I don’t know all that much about the Dixie Mafia, but I do know a thing or two about the Italian Mafia. First of all I will remind you of Jimmy Hoffa. To this day he has not been found. The I.M. doesn’t leave anything to be found, that’s why the numbers are lower. Second, unlike the D.M. the I.M. can’t be bothered with making your life miserable. They just get rid of you. and last but not least, the Italian Mafia doesn’t leave witnesses so there is no need for “assisted suicides”.
Redneck I’m not going to sit here and play wits with you, I prefer a challenge. But let me tell you this, I think that you sit alone in a dark room, with nothing else to do but sit on your computer and peck away. You must not have any friends. And you being a redneck, does that mean that your family tree don’t fork? I personally think that you must have nothing going for you. What are you studying down there a Emory, Ass-kissing? You must really be jealous of TW, because you just can’t stop with the put-downs. I also think that you are just as frightened as BLC is. You are definitely as obsessed with the web site apparently like BLC. I just bet he is getting weaker and weaker as the days go by. What I would say to you is , if you have so much to offer, why don’t you come to the town and take care of your Kin-folks?
Oh yea, I’m like everyone else, “what about Florida”?
Me also…………FLORIDA! FLORIDA! FLORIDA!………..Oh! and Turkeyneck don’t try and have a battle of wits with me… I won’t fight someone that is unarmed….
ROFL….Redneck? Let’s hear about Florida…….tell me about Florida, or admit you have no clue what you were talking about……either choice, I’ll leave you alone………..but I will not back off if you keep ignoring what YOU brought up….Redneck?
Redneck? Florida? Still there?
Did you quit posting because I finally challenged your ignorance? Florida? Redneck?
Redneck? Florida? What’s the deal? What happened in Florida? redneck? Florida?
What will it take to clean house in this corrupt little corner of our state anyway? Corrupt, dirty, lawyers,judges,sherrifs and law enforcement,city officials, car dealers, funeral home owners, The list goes on and on! What a mess!
OleBuddy you’ve just asked the million dollar question. The answer is Public involvement and exposure, and a lot of it. What I don’t understand is, this web-site is getting somewhere between 70,000-100,000 hits a day, what is it going to take to get the people to “talk” instead of just reading. I would advise everyone to pack the courthouse on the 10th, and at least show them that we are wanting “True Justice”, and we aren’t going to accept just a slap on the wrist. I am very interested in whether Carlton will plead guilty or innocent.
What would it take to clean up these areas? Exposure, OleBuddy.
Secrets have power. If you know something about someone or something that no one else does, you have the ability to control or manipulate. People can be blackmailed with secrets.
Taking away the secrets, takes away the power.
Knowledge is power, of course. Exposing what is hidden, and informing everyone is the way to cripple the foundations of an empire. Mere knowledge isn’t enough—it must be relayed to the masses to be effective. Words/information vs. weapons and threats.
Corruption feeds upon ignorance, naivete and apathy. The first two can be eliminated through communication. The latter, apathy, is probably harder to conquer.
If there is, or has been a Dixie Mafia, it would probably be like shutting down a meth house. The residue could linger for years…!
Dear CasualObserver-
That was eloquent, profound and absolutely true on every point. Thank you for contributing to this website.
Teresa
stinkerbutt,fullofgas and the rest of you stupid idiots buy the book and the truth shall set you free ha!ha! sure is fun living in never never land 70-100,000 hits per day get a life
Dear Redneck,
It may not seem like much to you, in comparison to national websites. But I am very proud. That means that folks concerned about corruption in Floyd, Chattooga, Polk, Gordon, Walker, Bartow, and recently even in Dade and Whitfield, as well as a couple of Alabama counties, (Cherokee and DeKalb), and up in Tennessee, are logging in to read. About 25,000 to 30,000, two or three times per day.
I think this is great. I am very humbled. How many hits do you have on your site per day? Oh, you don’t have a site? Well. It is very easy to criticise from the sidelines. Easy to laugh at someone out there putting their money where their mouth is.
Did you ever talk to Adam to find out what the real story was on why he does not post here anymore? (Under his real name, I mean.) Is Adam still in school?
TW
tw you told him to stop or you would take warrents why did you notlike him telling the truth why would you threaten to tell something about him from darlington that he was cleared on you just didn’t want him telling the truth
Dear Redneck,
I see Adam has not told you the WHOLE truth. He was terrified about having folks learn about something he did. It was not what he did here, but elsewhere, which authorities told me about, which explained a lot. But because, on this website, he kept trashing that establishment where he did something horrible, I felt it was best to protect them and protect him from himself, and told him not to post on my site anymore. It was either that, or protect the entity he kept trashing, by exposing the WHOLE truth, and I did not think that was good for Adam’s future, to have that out in the public sector.
I believe that I put in to practice the adage, “Discretion is the better part of valor”. If Adam does not appreciate it, at least when he is older, then he has no one to blame but himself when he crashes and burns.
And by the way, he WAS NOT CLEARED by anyone. He was allowed, after paying significant restitution, to go his way without prosecution. That is very different from being “cleared”.
TW
does he have a record tw?
Dear Redneck,
The instituion did not bring charges. Many, Many people do very bad things but never get charged. I have worked in several banks in different cities through the years, Columbus, Savannah and here in Rome. From time to time, someone in a bank will embezzle moneys. If the bank catches it internally, they usually work out a deal for restitution with the employee, and of course fire them. But banks rarely contact the authorities, because they do not want the public knowing what happened, as it could scare some, and cause depositers to take their money elsewhere.
So, just because no one was charged, does not mean that they are innocent, or cleared, or not guilty. It just means they were shown great mercy and tolerence, and were VERY, VERY Lucky getting a second chance. Some people are grateful, learn from their mistakes, and live changed lives after making big mistakes. But fools never do. They just keep railing against the world, blaming every one else but themselves for their problems.
TW
sounds to me like you just told how you feel blaming everyone else but themselves for their problems and he does not have a record so nothing there so stop trying to make him out to be a thug
Dear Redneck,
Adam painted himself as a thug from the posts he placed here on the site. I did not have to do anything, and would never have even known about his situation, if he had not kept bringing the institution in to a discussion which had nothing to do with them.
And you have resurrected the issue, by bringing up the question about Adam a couple of days ago. So you are perpetuating the notion that he is a Thug. When will you get it? The more you ramble and blather and make excuses, the more ammunition you give my readers and me to make very specific judgments about ya’ll.
You bring up a topic, make accusations, and when facts and logic blow you out of the water, you change the subject. But genaerlly, you only throw gasoline on a fire, because you NEVER bring a valid argument to the table, which can be supported by facts or logic. In the end, you end up having to resort to name calling and attempting to denegrate my readers or me.
You do not fool any of us.
If you have some real facts about something I have posted on my website, or a valid argument to add to the discussion, please feel free to post it here. Otherwise, perhaps you should take your juvenile venting to another site. But stop with the angry boy against the worold rantings and ravings.
TW
TW
oh the anger you have maybe you need help tw i think the pressure is getting to you
Dear Redneck?
LOL.
Florida? Ready to talk about it yet Redneck? You brought it up, why won’t you tell us what evil you know about and what evidence you have of said evil? Come on now, why bring it up if you don’t want to talk about it? Florida? Redneck?
hey fullofgas buy the book when it comes out if you know how to get your dumbbutt to a book store hint: has to do with a flute
So Just to recap. Redneck accuses TW of wrongdoing while in Florida………then when confronted can only claim he’s writing a book about it? LOL…..you have trouble carrying a single thought through a post, much less a book.
So basically we can safely say that you brought up Florida after someone told you something that you believed with no evidence, and now that you’ve been challenged, you do the smartest thing you’ve ever done, kept your mouth shut.
Genius.
Love, FullOfGas
Dear RGS -
Do you have a clue as to what REDNECK means by getting to a bookstore and it has to do with flute?
TW
fullofgas get ready it won’t be long
stinkerbell my what an imagination you have ! yall are just a joke that will fade away and be forgotten wait and see
Folks, arguing with Redneck is just pointless. Obviously he has nothing better to do than post here and taunt people.
Dear Grunig,
I was away for the afternoon in Task Force meetings, and I come back and the children have been naughty. I am going to have to put a couple of them in time out.
You are right that it is futile to argue with him. It is like casting pearls before swine.
So, since he started all of the name calling, I will put him time out for awhile.
TW
ROFL tinkerbell.
These fellas in the dixie mafia are not dumb……….which excludes redneck from their membership.
Does anyone here actually think that Redneck doesn’t live with his momma? Drives a primer gray honda civic with a loud muffler, car valued at $800, stereo in car valued at $3500. Works just long enough to buy what he needs for his car, and then quits and mooches off momma. Had a girlfriend once, and it was the worst mistake of her life, he still stalks her, but stays out of her way now that she has a new boyfriend who can stomp his butt. Biggest success was when he “almost” became an assistant manager at KFC. Spends his days at the library 1) for the free internet access, 2) because you can pretty much shave and bathe in their sinks, and 3) cause momma sleeps during the day. Even his best of friends knows that he’s full of crap and they have perfected the ability to stare intently while he talks as if they are 1) interested, 2) impressed and 3) believe him.
Ooooh! Nailed it.
hey gasbutt don’t talk about my car it is not a honda but a sl class mercedes that cost more than your home ,car,and sister so get the facts before you start making up crap like tw thankyou
That is sad. The only thing redneck disputed was the make of his car. Now I just feel bad for him.
LOL ROOM, was thinking the same thing.
ROFL………….only disputed his vehicle type………
Tinkerbell,
“I will remind you of Jimmy Hoffa. To this day he has not been found.”
That has been known to happen around here, too.
There is the case from several years ago next door to you there in Calhoun where a business owner wound up going to federal prison on charges related to drugs and IRS violations.
At the peak this guy was a very big operator with over a hundred people on his payroll and operations in several states. But along with the legal business there was a whole bunch of Dixie Mafia activity with large scale cocaine traffic and deadly strong arm tactics being used to intimidate competitors in his legal operations.
Over the years there were large scale cocaine seizures and a whole bunch of dead people associated with the operation, but nothing ever “stuck” to the owner, even with years of GBI and federal investigations, including some very large raids (with dozens of GBI agents) on his business headquarters.
Apparently what happened was that in the end the fed just got tired of not being able to pin any of this on him and convicted him on a sort of “Al Capone” type of violation, not even particularly related to the offenses for which they had been pursuing him.
Local people associated with him just disappeared off the face of the earth, never to be seen again. One guy I know who was there as a sort of “enforcer” just vanished and has not been heard from till yet, and this happened over ten years ago.
Of course, some folks think there is on Dixie Mafia. Ha Ha.
BTW, I’m waiting to hear “redneck’ tell us all about Teresa and Florida like everone else.
And I would like see him answer my query and tell us if he has a college education, like I suspect he has.
BillR
Get a life,but redneck you are spending time out of you life posting
on this site. Do you have a life?
Redneck, Tell us about Florida. Talk to us… Or will they only let you say so much? Do they have a muzzle on you? Be careful,you never know who your real friends are… Just remember, we’re here for you. We’re like the 7/Eleven always open. One of us is always on call. I have to go wash my hair now, but I’m sure one of the boys will talk to you if you get lonely.
Sorry, Forgot about Tinkerbell; I’m sure she’s out there fluttering around somewhere…
Dirtyboy just wants to tell everyone that I will continue to fight for this county, and signs off.
Bill R.
Like I said, I didn’t know much about the D.M. I am now more educated on the subject. As usual, you never cease to amaze me on your knowledge.
But on a personal note, my first husband was employed by Rudolpho Gambino, John Gotti’s Uncle. That’s why I moved away.
I thought everyone decided a couple of days ago that Redneck was going to be ignored. What is going on? Everyone posting their rantings and insults against Redneck only tends to bring question to the validity of this website. I don’t like the things Redneck says any more than the rest of you, but you are all stooping to his elementary school playground vocabulary. For this issue of corruption to be resolved and taken serious by everyone who visits this site or chooses to post their opinions in the discussions, all posters should conduct themselves in a mature and professional manner. This website is beginning to sound like one of the rag mags you see at the checkout counter of the grocery store. In order for the things that TW is bringing to light in her articles those who post should try not to sound like they are standing out at the closeline telling the juiciest new morsel of gossip they heard down town. I would assume that all of us have lives to live but yet we all seem to find time to log on to read the latest entries and even post. So, all I am saying is let’s try to keep the name calling and petting arguing down. It is really getting old and it could turn a lot of people off. I think the goal is to reach as many people as you can with the truth and to educate them on what needs to be done about it.
Dear Voice,
Thank you so much for posting this. I was shocked this afternoon when I got home and saw all of the name calling. I was embarrassed, and I actually deleted quite a few of the good guys’ postings, because they had stooped to Redneck’s level…which was exactly what his puppet master had in mind, I imagine. Keep them off topic, in silly, petty name calling, and nothing gets exposed.
Ya’ll are all better than that.
This website is better than that.
I was gone most of this evening, again, at meetings, (I do have other news to cover besides Chattooga County), and the discussions were much more what they should be for intelligent discussions of ISSUES.
Thanks, all of ya’ll, Thanks.
Teresa
You make some very valid points Vox Populi. Every where you go people are talking about this website. It is reaching people everywhere and they are waiting anxiously to see what happens. Some are wanting to help with information they have and believe me there are people that know things. Everyone needs a good laugh every now and then and at times I find the posts to be quiet hilarious. I also find it interesting that Redneck tries to discredit TW but does not follow through with anything he mentions. He wants to brag about a book but yet doesn’t give us the title or where it will be available at. I believe that is because there is no book.
Dear SE,
Thanks, so much. Actually, I have been racking my brain about what he thinks he has, and have assumed it is something from a PI which has nothing to do with this Teresa Watson.
The only thing I can think of is something I share regularly with people when they have really messed up.
I lived in Tallahassee, Florida, for one year, when I was young. I was interviewed for a job at Robinson Humphries, as an assistant to their top producer. After being interviewed by the Branch Manager, the top producer and the Operations Manager, I was hired. The next week when I started, I was filling out my new employee papers with the Assistant to the Branch Manager and when I had finished, turned them in. A couple of hours in to my first day she came to ask for my College Degree desination, but I had not finshed college. It had never come up in the interview.
At first she was upset, because the ad in the paper had stated “College Graduate”, but I had not come through the ad, I had come through a recommendation by someone who knew there was a position. The resume I had turned in made it quite clear that I had only a couple of years of college.
She said not to worry, and so I did not. A few months later, a recruiter for Robinson Humphries was down from New York, or New Jersey - I forget. He was impressed with me and wanted to put me in the training program for trader, and I agreed, but then the college thing came up. The Branch Manager’s Assistant came to me, again, and said this was a problem, because she had never told the BM when he got back, after I was first hired. So, she said just to put something down, because not only would I lose the trader opportunity, I would probably lose my job.
I wrestled with it for hours, and finally put down that I had a B.A. in Business Admin.
A few weeks later, I was called in by the Branch Manager. I explained everything, and he understood, but said that he could not afford to have someone who would ever lie. He let me go, and it was devastating to me, because I have rarely lied n my life, but man oh man, I really sacrificed my integrity so that I and another person would not be in trouble.
This was a huge turning point in my life, and I have shared it so many times when giving my testimony, or when someone I know is struggling with consequences of bad choices. But, because I have shared this with so many people in this town, and so many groups when giving a testimony, through the years, I find it hard to imagine that this is the Big Huge Secret, because it is not a secret at all. I think that I even shared it with Jerry Duke of Rome News Wire earlier this summer after a big mistake he had made in the pressure of the moment.
Events like this in a person’ life either make ot break them. That is why I believe in ACCOUNTABILITY. Grace, mercy, but accountability. That Branch Manager showed Grace to me, but he required accountability, and that lesson has never left me. He and the Op’s Manager both sent me cards after they had to fire me, and told me that they still thought a lot of me. That was the Grace part. That meant the world to me, to my self esteem, and I never forgot that lesson, either.
But as I have said, that has been out there for over 20 years, by my own admission, time and again. So, it baffles me, and I am waiting to hear.
So, back to Square 1, I am thinking that perhaps it is someone’s big error in Private Investigation work.
TW
I admire you Teresa for not holding anything back. I think you earn the respect of your readers because you are not afraid to put it all out there for everyone to read and even pass judgement. We all are human and we all make mistakes in our lives. It takes great courage to admit to those mistakes and we walk away a better person for it. Keep the faith, JUSTICE will prevail.
Teresa, in accordance with “not holding anything back”………you need to check the RNW site about you…..they are asking good questions about your treatment of Al Sayeed, and the silence from you, is as incriminating as the silence of BLC. You know me, I’m not picking on you, or firing shots on your answering service…….I’m pointing out that some good points have been made on there, and “no response” is enough to raise eyebrows, just as it would be on here..
Al Sayeed, has made several good points on there, and told his own story……………….you really need to respond or retract.
Dear RomeGaSir:
I appreciate your concern, but I do not go to other people’s websites and post. It would be unprofessional. I read Jerry Duke’s news, as I like it. But i do not have time to look at the blogs he runs. I did so that one time, looked at it, searching for what was said about Florida, and it was a total waste of time, and the trash kept perpetuating for days, getting follks off the real subjects at hand.
I go to public meetings, which takes hours out of a day. I research court records, and I interview people, and sometimes, have to drive to Alabama or up to Tennesse to do it. Jerry has time to blog a lot, and apparently, just judging form this site, folks have time to blog a lot. But I am up in to the wee small hours of most weeknights, responding to my own contacts. During most days, I am researching, and interviewing, and that resreach or thos einterviews take me to other counties, and over to Alabama and up to Tennessee, which consumes so much tme and energy. Then I still have to digest everything I have collected for to write in depth stories, and find to keep up with the local day to day news. I am exhausted all the time.
When I respond to my own posters, it is as I am logging on to check something on the internet for a story, or responding in e-mails to the almost 40 e-mails per day, just to Contact at RomeNewsByWatson.com.
You know that sometimes when I respond to you, it is in the wee small hours. It is 2:24 am right now, and that is how at least five of my day are. They start about 6 or 7, and go until I finish.
Anyway, I am not complaining, because I love it. BUt I hope you will undertsand why I do not run here and there to defend myself against Adam Al Sayed, or anyone else.
But I cannot imagine that Adam is telling the truth or at least not the whole truth, though. I know what he posted here, and I know what persons in authority at the entity he tried to trash on my website said, when they contacted me after he started posting. If someone wants to challenge me here, that is fine. I have not said anything that I need to retract. But if someone wants to challenge me legitimately, they can come here to do it.
You know, even in law, if you have a complaint against someone, you take the case to their county. You sue them where they are, where they live.
I will not intrude on Jerry’s space. I just do not have the time, and it would not be appropriate.
Thanks, though, for the heads up.
TW
I guess that I was one of the postings that had to be edited and For that I apologize.I kinda got carried away, and might have said some things that were unethical, and if I offended anyone, again I apologize. But we need to realize that this is just a web-site. If there are going to be any changes made here in the county it’s going to take a lot more than just writing on this web-site, it’s going to take people getting physically involved in the government. There is a few people here in the county that has been working their tails off trying to get things changed long before this web-site came around. Things have got to be done before a change can occur here, and it’s going to take more than writing on this site, it’s going to take good strong people getting out into the public and speaking out. It’s going to take people willing to put their “names” on things not user names. This sight is good for people to read and get “current affairs” about things happening, but instead of “word of penmanship, it’s going to take “word of mouth”. The time for action is now. We have sat here and discussed all the things that have happened but we have only slightly discussed a plan of action. Now is the time to start.
Dear DirtyBoy,
It takes real character to both ackowledge a mistake, and then to apogise for it. WE all get carried away, and that wa sthe very specific intent by the puppet master, who was orchestrating certain posts. If I learn that a poster has been hired to posthere, to stir up trouble, to call names. I will not just delete his posts, I will blcok his posts.
I learned of just such a situation yesterday, and that paid trouble maker will not be allowed to post here again.
But, DirtyBoy, just so you will know, as I was tying this post, the door bell rang, and the Sheriff’s Office served me with papwers for a law suit to me personally and against my corpoaration for comemnts that you made Monday, which I must not have caught.
I may lose everything I have, DirtyBoy, because of stuff you posted.
However, the good thing is that the Georgia Law requires that any party suing for libel or slander be given written 7 day Demand Letter, served through by Certified U.S. Mail.
Bobby Lee Cook and John Dennis, the attorneys in ths law suit, are not used to practicing law in the real world, and have not followed the law.
They have included a copy of the post you made, and I must say, I missed it. In it, you say that you have proof of something. DirtyBoy, if you have proof, you had better get it to me.
Teresa
Okay DB, TW doesn’t need this trouble….she’s brought on trouble with facts to back it for herself..but I just hope that you can back up yours.
TW is the post still up so that we may see for ourselves what DB said?
You know there is such thing as Malicous Proscecution also….they are running scared and are trying to quiet you and your site….
Let this be a lesson to everyone to watch what they post…if you don’t know it for a fact..I always say so…such as (rumor has it)
Dear OW -
No, I took it down immediately, even though no Legally Required 7-Day Demand Letter was sent to me instrcuting me to do so. BUt it is the right thing to do. If that stuff is not true, then the Hammitt should not have to put up with it. I have explained the process in a retraction under Breaking News.
Ya’ll go read what I just posted under Breaking News.
Thanks!
TW
Ms. Ballenger was able to refinance the home, and on January 17, 2006, she bought out Ben Ballenger’s portion for $5,000, and a deed was given to sever the claim by Mr. Ballenger to the home.
However, Linda neglected to file the deed until May 10, 2007.
So Thames convinced Gerald Emery that this was fraud, alleging that the Ballenger’s somehow knew what had not been decided yet - that the Georgia Court of Appeals would deny Thames’ appeal for Emery, which happened later that month. Even though the deed was transacted on January 17, 2006.
I’m lost. How exactly is this fraud?
Dear CG -
Good question.
I am not a lawyer, so I do not know. You got me.
TW
c grunig……..it’s common for people who know they’re going to be sued to transfer their assets to non-involved parties to avoid actually losing the assets. Sounds like Thames probably checked the deed and seen it was filed just after the lawsuit, and didn’t check or know that Ms. Ballenger had refinanced the home months earlier. So He jumped to the conclusion (and without knowing it had been refinanced months earlier it would be a logical conclusion) that Ballenger, an attorney, was trying to fraudulently transfer assets to protect them.
CG -
That is my guess. A lot of Premature E from the Cartel. Assuming it was fraud, instead of realizing there was a re-fi - and realizing a Blonde was involved…LOL actually, I have met and interviewed Linda, and I adore her. Talk about Class, I wish I had that much 1/10the her presence.
But Case in point, filing a law suit before sending a 7-Day Demand Letter. Premature-E.
TW
The lawsuit is published today on the Rome Tribune News web site
Dear guys,
THIS IS A GOOD THING! I was contacted by one of their reporters, and I am appreciative, but have referred all questions to my attorney , but asked for time until tomorrow afternoon.
WE NEED PUBLIC ATTENTION ON THIS. I will not go into what major news outlet has contacted me, but after tomorrow sometime, I hope ya”ll will be able to know. I have a very eager attorney, and am grateful and blessed.
So be GLAD that the Rome News Tribune is covering this, and that another entity of siginificant state and national stature wants to. It is the best thing that could have happened to Chattooga County, and when this is over, and even before then, ya’ll need to Thank Rome News Tribune, and their sister organizations up your way.
LET THE SUNSHINE IN!
TW
Thanks for clearing that up, romegasir. I understand the thought of transferring assets, just not how it could be her issue since the deed was transferred earlier, long before the case… now I get it. Someone never learned to do homework, that’s all.
I hope this is covered and picked up on major papers and networks…it would be great publicity for TW, and Chattooga Countys so called Justice system…and the attorneys that are all in with the judges,…its quit comical that the have brought this all on themselves..
The bad part is if their isnt enought evidence to disbarr the crooks, all they have is free publicity
Ahhhhh OW - There is more than enough. We have a friend in there.
And, the more press, the better- the more LIGHT shining in the DARK. They really messed this one up.
TW
Just out of curiosty, who has the power to ask a judge to step down? JQC? If KCC presiding over this case is not a conflict of interest what is? another question…Who told Jon Dennis that BB had not paid the filing fee? Why would that be any of his business??? accept that someone in the clerks office was snitching??
If he owed the fee, would it not be SOP to call BB and tell him of the error, instead of calling Jon Dennis?
You see how crooked this all sounds..if you aren’t in with them and their dirty deeds, if you disagree, you have left yourself open for sabatoge. I cant believe that some one has not complained and had disbarrment proceeding started?
I guess I still live in a fantasy world that right is right, and it will prevail..and I guess sometimes the BAD GUYS do win..maybe not in the long run, but they do win.
Dear OW - The Judge Himself. Last word, period.
TW
I am so glad that the corruption that has plagued this county for years is finally being brought to light. I am just afraid of how deep the roots run. You know it was bad when McConnel was sheriff and he had ties way up.
YOUUU WHOOO WHERE IS DIRTYBOY
Adam-
I am not going to allow you to taunt my readers. Dirty Boy is welcome here, ANYTIME.
But if you start mis-behaving, I will put you in time out again. This is a serious news site, with blogs attached to real news articles, to talk about those specific articles, not just blog to the world about any and everything. Stay on topic, and be nice to your play mates. If you have something valid to say about something, you are welcome to say it. But I will not allow you to post sophomoric taunts and spew bile to the world. If you have facts or opinions, without name calling, you can stay and post.
Teresa
well said snake well said
TW GO AHEAD
TW, I believe you’ve had several requests for the video deposition, or the pertinent portions, that you have talked about several times on here….the deposition of ben ballenger……
Assuming you have it on VHS tape, which I assume you do, hook up two VHS recorders…..play the copy of the tape you have and press record on the other recorder when it is a pertinent part, so that you are recording the short (I suggest 7-10 minutes at most) portion that you think your readers would be interested in….then take the new VHS tape, with only the pertinent portions of the recording to Clyde Collier, or another with the capability, and ask them to put it on DVD….(unless you have access to a dvd recorder (they’re fairly cheap now) and then you can make the dvd yourself). Then sign up (it’s free) for an account on YouTube.com, and download the video to your account……Once it’s downloaded, Youtube will give you a URL to post on your website so that viewers can link to the video you just downloaded……..Then just post the URL on your site and we all can see it.
total cost, assuming you don’t have access to a DVD recorder? Maybe $15.
Hey, RomeGaSir,
The fellow who is editing one of the DVD’s of the deposition, down for size, has suggested that very thing.
Thanks!
TW
Once you have it on YouTube, you can actually use their site and their edit tools to edit the video, such as including subtitles or labelling what is going on at that particular moment, such as “Carlton Vines enters room”, etc etc.
Don’t worry , I’m sorry no more name calling. Shadow I’m sitting here having the time of my life. But why are you looking for me?And how are you doing TW?
Hey, DirtyBoy,
Welcome back. You must have been busy, today. Your old pal Redneck-Shadow missed you. I let him out of Time-Out, and he has promised to behave.
TW
cause i missed u stinkboy and i didnt promise tw
You are stark raving mad.
That’s okay redneck, you can say what ever your little heart desires. See that’s the good thing about this web-site, it is covered by the Freedom of Speech. And yes TW I’ve been very busy today. I covered a lot of ground and I can say that I am very pleased about the results. Go ahead and let redneck or shadow say what he wants. I love to listen to the comedy and they do say that laughter will cure anything. Tomorrow will be another busy day but it will also be fruitful.
Good attitude to have DB, all that bickering back in forth is useles. You know what they say Opinions are like….LOL
Do you people posting in this comment area even have jobs. People are being sued over these accusations because they are illegal. Now, I understand the accusations of Judge Connelly having a conflict of interest, I don’t believe they occured just from here, but…. IF it did occur what does any of that have to do with these peoples personal lives. I have read in these comments, statements about the people in question and people who posted here that were personal attacks…. completely without base. That is the main reason why I don’t believe what this Teresa woman is saying. It sounds like stupid redneck conservative fodder for the masses provided by an unprofessional journalist. I suppose you will respond with “we’ll see”, but anyways I gather that she is being sued due to just how unprofessional she is.
Lastly, this nonsense about a “Dixie Mafia” sounds like pure BS. I am sorry that a lot of rednecks around here are stupid and have a chip on their shoulder because they lost money in cases or didn’t get what they wanted, but the legal system is complicated. I guess before I asked if you people have jobs…… I should have asked how conducive a learning enironment your “special education” was.
Feel free to make personal attacks at me and how what I said makes me seem like a _________ (for those of you who don’t know thats a blank and you fill it in)
Dear CO,
Welcome, but you need to make some friends with some real fedeal folks in the field, and talk to them. You need to talk to local law enforcement, and you will know. It sound like you perhaps live in an ivory tower.
Now, Could you please articulate what actions were illegal? If anyone had done something illegal, then CRIMINAL charges would be brought.
But please tell me what was illegal. I would like to know. Could that be libel, that you just accused someone of doing something illegal. Why, I believe that you have libeled DirtyBoy.
Oh, but wait, I am th only one who has been sued, right? So did I do something illegal? Are you libeling me? Wow, I would think that your camp would be very careful.
But thank you for reasonable dissent. I cannot make statements about the case, specifically, or I would respond. However, as to the whole series I am doing, open your eyes. Most of the information has come either in part, at least half of the stories have come directly from gBI reprts, or police files, and the rest from court cases. Everyone called me a conspiracy theorist last year when I was working on the Mario Armas stuff. I was whispered about, and ocassionally challenged. But then, when he was indicted, everyone “always knew all along”. BUt, when I insisted tha certain members of the legal and medical community knew, frineds would come from holday parties where thsoe people were standing their ground about innocense of the doctors and lawyers I named.
Then came the trial, and oops, I was right again….so why do you doubt now. I ahve better access to better files even now. Go talk to law enforcement. Start out with Floyd County, Floyd County Sheriff’s Department and RPDlaw enforcement. They know.
Finally,
I have been gone all day, and as you are a new, first time poster, i have to approve your posts. From now on, they post automatically.
Thanks,
TW
And again your unprofessional nature shines through. I am a citizen of Trion, GA. I don’t feel I need to talk to anymore people around here than I have talked to my whole life. Your reports that I have read mention casual things such as who all was sitting in the court room, and then you speculate as to why they were there. Also, I put more trust in the GBI, federal law enforcement, and local law enforcement than I put in you; and I’m pretty sure they don’t need your speculation to aid them in anything they think. Your unprofessional nature is shown as you have faith in no one but yourself and your OUTRAGEOUS claims. If there is any merit to anything you are saying, then will justice not prevail? Why then do you twist it and parade your concoction around in front of the ignorant and then throw them on a public forum to smear people’s names.
Recently I heard of a little girl that hung herself due to rumors that an older woman begin spreading on the internet about her. Are you one of these predators? Are you desperately seeking to destroy a person? If so who then is the monster here? Your “Dixie Mafia” or you?
Dear CO - I cannot make you take your head out of the sand. You only prove to the world your obstinate ignorance. You do feel the need to talk to anyone other than who you usually talk to? You know, that doesn’t surprize me.
Almost every day, since I started to do this Dixie mafia series, I have at least 3 people who are afraid to post, but send e-mails to the site. ome annonymous, some not. That would be about 75 DIFFERENT people feeding me information. Much is what the FBI & GBI already know, but some is new stuff, and I save it up and make runs to the federal building every now and again.
So, maybe you better start asking more that the usual suspects, so you will not be surprized when you are found out.
TW
Actually, I happen to know someone that has been to one of the Prestigious Parties with these people and he says he met a “Sargent” in the Dixie Mafia…his story was very believeable…he spoke of drugs (huge quanities) This gentleman (Sarg) has since shot someone and is belived to be in prison???any way knowing this person and his background….it sounds very believable to me…and he told this story many many years ago…..BEFORE….this article came out, and has restated it recently…
Teresa,
Have you had to put your next installment on hold because of the law suit or will you be posting it soon?
Dear SE -
Yes and no. Only because I had to spend so much time finding the right lawyer. I needed a bulldog, and checked with a few I knew until I found the perfect fit. His whole firm will be a team. But I have got to raise some BIG time Do-re-mi.
But I am so proud of who I found, and the fact that he jumped at the opportunity, which is what he sees this as. He is no wall flower, and, judging from the e-mails lawyers from around the state, a few from Alabama and Tennesee, and one from Florida, have sent, I am understanding more and more why he sees this as an opportunity. I do not know these people, but they have heard, and are watching this case.
BUt this opportunity does not come cheap, up front.
I will post a story tomorrow, that was meant for today.
I will not be speaking about the case, but I am still do ing the series, but with even a renewed vigor.
TW
How ironic? Your bringing attorneys from where again? You had to go so far south as Cartersville? I bet that is some SERIOUS do-re-mi LOL.
My name is Jesse Jennings. As I said before, I have been living in this area all of my life. What I see here is the same kind of mob that rallies around a burning cross with it’s courage cloaked by sheet and hood. You people are mobbing on the internet to destroy the lives of others you deem unfit by means that are outside the boundaries of law. None of you have the courage to identify yourselves outside of TW herself, who stands at the front of your mob as it’s seemingly brave and fearless leader. If any of these statements and accusations from any of you people posting here were true, then why wouldn’t you muster the courage to come out and say so openly, instead of masking yourself on the internet and stabbing backs from the dark?
Stemming from that TW, if your statements are true why is it Ben Ballenger does not post here? Why doesn’t he and all these “oh so credible sources” your claiming to have in these law enforcement agencies reveal themselves and the truth? In reality you are all being used as a faceless mob…. ignorant and pliable. Even TW is being used by BB and friends. TW is fighting BB’s personal war and in the end….. my bet is she will be hung out to dry.
I’m sure you TW, will hang out dirtyboy and tinkerbell to dry just as BB and his friends are doing to you now.
Dear CO -
Laugh Out Loud. Why would Ben Ballenger post here? He has no need to. He knows, better than I do what is fixing to happen, and he is enjoying watching folks squirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm.
The other folks cannot identify themselves because they are afraid for their lives, jobs, reputations when the DM comes after them. It is so funny. You know, I was contacted by an attorney last night who has beat Bobby Lee Cook many times. So many times that Bobby Lee Cook brought a bogus suit against him, which this man won! ON top of that, this gentleman then got a sanction against one of the crooked judges who tried to sit in on the case.
This gentleman, and attorneys from all over the southeast are contacting me to tell me how corrupt Bobby Lee Cook is, how he operates, and to welcome me to the club. I have been told that the one way to know that you are getting to BLC is to be served with one of his fake, drummed up suits, and these attorneys are laughing because it is a woman, and a woman who is not even an attorney who has gotten to him this time.
I do not know how they found out about this law suit, but man oh man.
TW
Wow CO, Now tell us how you really feel. LOL
Well CO, if you’ve been living there all of your life then you know how corrupt and behind times the place really is! Or are you just plain blind?
Dear OleBuddy,
I believe that CO has libeled me, and DirtyBOy. If you go back to his/her first comment, he/she said that people, (not person) are being sued here because what they did was illegal. He/she accused Dirty Boy and me of doing something illegal. Is that not what I have been sued for, simply allowing DirtyBoy’ s comment. I hope someone lets DirtyBoy know, and since CO has identified himslef/herself in another post, (Jesse Jennings), DirtyBOy has a law suit against him/her, for libel.
HOW FUNNY.
Because the thing is, neither of us broke the law. Whether it was true or not true, it did not break a law. That would bring Criminal Charges, not civil litigation. So, I hope DirtyBoy is watching, you got the name, and you got the accusation from Jesse Jennings, who says you and I did something illegal. Just be sure to send a seven day retraction letter first, so that you law suit willnot be dismissed.
TW
I would say that you definitely having them squirming. They don’t know what to expect next. We are all waiting for the fireworks. LOL
Dear SE -
And CO, who proclaims their identity in a third posting this evening, libeled DirtyBoy and me in their very first posting, and said we did something illegal. OOOOOHHHHHH.
Hope mommy and daddy have the $$$$ for a million dollar law suit.
Quoting from the first post: “Do you people posting in this comment area even have jobs. People are being sued over these accusations because they are illegal”.
LOL -
Seriously, I would not stoop that low. Actually, these high schoolers have been posting on another website in town, posting such amazing crap about me. Friends keep sending me copies of the stuff. I am assuming they were put up to it by the same perosn who put Adam up to it. It has even gotten to where some adults here in town, who are terrified that the bottom is about to drop out of their little world, or their friends’ little worlds, are slandering me as well, and in front of so mnay witnesses. Their particular lie, is about the gun shots being a hoax some high schoolers played, and what they do not realize is that several of the REAL people involved, have been identified. Technology is really good these days, and it was NOT a bunch of kids.
But, I guess by BObby Lee Cooks standards, I could sue the owner of that website, and the kids posting the lies, and now DirtyBOy and I could both sue CO, who identified themselves as Jesse Jennings.
TW
Talk about Hypocrisy. What should I call you all then? The “Nazi propagandists”?
Dear CO,
Do you even know what hypocrisy is? Please tell me what was hypocritical about anything I did? I would love to know. Hypocrisy is Bobby Lee Cook, Rex Abernathy and John DEnnis grasping at anything, and suing me for what is not libel, and then sending a child to libel me. That is Hypocrisy.
Did you not read my other comemnts? Did you not see that I said I would not stoop so low. But here’s the thing.
What DirtyBoy said, may or may not have been true, time will tell. BUt the fact that he posted it on my site, and I AM BEING SUED for his comment is wrong.
Now, what you said REALLY IS ABSOLUTELY a lie. That is one of those self evident truths you learn about in philosophy. What Dirty Boy did was not illegal, and neither was my not taking the post down. Neither act illegal, but you said it was, and that this was why we were being sued. Now, is DirtyBOy being sued? I have not seen it in any papers. But you used the plural term in the posting, “People” and “are”, so, I have to ask, are you privy to something the rest of us do not know yet? And does this mean you work for Bobby Lee Cook, Rex Abernathy or John Dennis?
Curious.
So, of all the three of us, you have actually committed the most aggregious offense, and yet DirtyBoy and I are not waiting to find something to sue you over, like Bobby Lee Cook, Rex Abernathy and John Dennis have been waiting to do. No, ya’ll are the hypocrites.
Now, you really need to learn about the Nazi regime. What i did was neither hypocrisy, or anything akin to Nazi tactics. However, the people who have sued me….now that is intimidation and strong arm tactics right out of SS culture.TW

Ok….. no…. I don’t work for any lawyers or judges or anything. My name is Jesse Jennings….I am 26 years old, I am not a child. I am as my nickname states simply a “concientious objector”. I have no “inside info” but blaming prominent members in a society for negative results on such a generalization as to call them a “dixie” mafia is similar to the nazis saying “jews” ran down Germany.
Now, I was presumptuous in my initial statement of the legality of your book and posts by some people here. I guess I should have said wrong in place of illegal (us crazy redneck country people have a bad tendency of getting them confused…. wrong and illegal).
CO,
The Dixie Mafia and the Mexican Mafia are very real organized crime cartels opertaing in the United states. Just do some research.
And no, Jews are a historical group of peoples bonded by a common heritage, blood line and religion. The Dixie Mafia are bonded together only by their own depraved greed and indifference. Not the same.
When you get people bonded together by greed, you end up with organized crime, and the community in which they opertae does yield NOTHING but negative results.
The Dixie Mafia is actually comprised, in MANY INSTANCES, of KKK members. And buddy, you had better believe me, I have had witness after witness, some from the black community in Chattooga County, tell me that Bobby Lee Cook & Co. call young black men, “Boy”, and they mean it in the most derogatory terms.
TW
Just a quick comment about your book. I just read the first 9 chapters and I wish I could say I was shocked by anything revealed. But really, I am past being shocked by anything anymore. It seems everything is driven by the pursuit of money and power and a total lack of character. Just turn on the TV or radio or pick up any newspaper. The stories don’t even begin to relate all the injustices perpetrated on the everyday Joe or Jane. Our whole country seems to be in a FREEFALL. But in this area it appears some things may be about to change. At least everyone can’t hide their heads in the sand and say ”I had no idea.”
Dear GameGeek,
Thank you for reading the book. I will have another chapter posted later this weekend.
Thanks!
TW
Dear C.O.
I don’t know what you mean when you say that TW will leave me out to try. I’ve not said anything that she would have to leave me out to dry for. Sooooo, Please enlighten myself and all other readers on what you mean.
Thanks,
Tink’
Thanks Overwhelmed. Now I know where to start. I’ll keep everyone in the loop. If there is an attorney out there that knows this type of law, please contact me through this site. I’d like to see the other sweat even more.
Oh I forgot………… CO….what a hypocrite you are…..LLLLLLLLLOL
Dear OW,
I do not think that CO is a hypocrite. I think he is a just uninformed, and probably will come around very soon. I think he wants to believe nothing is wrong up there, because it is more comfortable, but at least he is probbing and asking questions. That is a good thing. I think his last post was pretty fair and almost objective.
Give him time, and do not intimidate him. You know, Paul was Saul of Tarsus, who persecuted early Christians until he saw THE LIGHT, on the road to Damascus. CS Lewis was an ardent atheist, whose writings pre-conversion, rambled in unsustainable tangents. But once he realized what THE TRUTH was, he became one of the most gifted apologists of the 20th Century, as well as an entertaining fiction-metaphore writer.
Even the Daddy’girl and others have very valid points, and are willing to concede some of my points. These people are grappling with difficult truth to digest, things which are starting to rcok their worlds they have grown up with. This stuff does not go down easily. Someone who I hope considers me a friend told me several years ago, when he was an attorney representing an entity I was putting through some tough public questions, that “Reasonable Minds Can Disagree”.
I find each of these last few folks who began posting, even though they do not know all the facts, yet, had valid points, and I welcome their dissent, tough questions and feedback. I have been passionately wrong in my life, many times, when I was a young adult. If you can take a stand, on the wrong side, without too much retribution, and then see the truth revealed, and come over, or at least admit both sides have valid arguments, then you learn to be a little more prudent in looking at sides of an issue before jumping on band wagons.
Dear goodness, rememebr PTL Club? Remember how many people thought that the old Jim & Tammy Faye were God’s modern day prophets? So many people got caught up in their fantasy world, which was revealed eventually for the debauched sham it was. BUt good, smart, honest decent people defended them right up until the end, not wanting to believe they had bought in to the lie.
It is hard to face the truth. But good, reasonable people will eventually come around. These folks will to, and I need to learn to stop being so caustic in some of my responses to them.
TW
I read on that romenews wire thing, where the head honcho had a headline about TW, “up the creek without a paddle”. As the old saying is that most people, including most public officials, newspapers, law inforcment, an etc are like water, they will follow the path of least resistence. TW does not fall into the same ol same ol, she will go against the current, run the rapids in getting to the bottom of the problems. TW needs the paddle to keep moving NW Gerogia forward, it is going to be up to all of us to furnish that paddle. DON’T CUT AND RUN NOW If you feel that you don’t need to go public, furnish what she needs on her email.
Dear BullButt - Is it on the main page or is it a blog topic? I do not waste my time on that site anymore.
TW
TW…I could care less about what CO posts, and questions are good, no doubt…but the name calling and better than though attitude is what I have the problem with….if you have lived in the county for very long you see the “good ole boy system” at work constently, and if CO denies it then he is blind.
He also DOES have a dog in this fight, and he is obviously listening to MOMs comments…hey she works for them How eles is she suppose to feel…but if Im not mistaken XXXX and XXXXX are is uncle and cousins so hes grown up with some that have been known to step over the line of ethical …..
and of course you know what they say….Opinions are like….and everyone has one…so I take what he says with a grain of salt…..
But there again….him calling names….is what I don’t like…and there I did stoop to his level…Sorry CO….
thank you…I forgot
Dear OW - As Bart Simpson would say, “No problemo”.
TW
Overwhelmed,
Name calling? People on here are posting about everything from other people’s sex lives, family and friends, to what kind of car they drive and how they felt about women they have loved in the past. Fine time to get haughty and take the high road….
I should refuse to post a response to you and the rest of this far to similar to an Enquirer news forum, because you havent the courage to tell me who you are…. even while you stab my back with cloak and dagger from the shadows.
Why would it be a surprise as to who I am and please feel free to elaborate on what “in there with them” means. With all of you calling me a “good ole boy” I don’t know whether to be offended or feel complimented. For god’s sake TW tell about the Ivory Tower again.
If any of this is obvious to me and common knowledge then fricking say it plain for us small children out here that are having trouble understanding the mindless ramblings of a mob. Oh….. and feel free to tell me who YOU are. Remember, I don’t slither like a SNAKE or get OVERWHELMED when the going gets tough.
TW,
I appreciate you showing some professional decorum. I realize that I haven’t been quite as polite a concientuos objector as I might should have been, but when in Rome…… You sounded for the first time on your website that I have seen less like a biased person out to feed the flames of a mobs torches, and almost like a concerned citizen with a valid statement. Now, if you are concerned I would like to advise you that the best course of action would be to follow through with whatever you actually do have, as I am told, and stop enflaming the people around here. It’s not as cut and dry as all who oppose me are uninformed and anyone who supports me has been to the frickin oracle. Many of your posters here couldn’t state back any of the claims your book makes because they just come here to sling mud.
Dear CO, (Sorry, i put my comments before the end of yours, and had to come back and cut and paste them…I bet any one reading that was confused)
I agree, about the name calling. I will address that with the right individuals in a minute.
Now, as to the “get on with it” thing. My Public Corruption Features post generally in a three day per week series. Mon-Wed-Fri. There is a whole science surrounding how much detailed resding a reader can read in a hard copy, and how much they can read on a monitor, and how much they can absorb at one time. There is a planned and orderly lay out of the striies, and as I have told raeders form the very beginning, this series will take a minimum of 12 weeks, but as more and more docuemnts and files come in, (Now that folks have a place to bring their reprts and public docuemnts to), it is looking more like 16 weeks or better.
If you pick up a book to read, and expect the ENTIRE STORY to be covered in the first chapter, well, then you are probably reading a child’s bedtime book. T
Now, as far as missing this week’s Friday posting, I apologize. I was scrambling to find a good, not afraid to go against Bobby Lee Cook attorney. Once i found one, there were long phone coversations, (did youget them all Rump?), and long meetings. So, I did not get to finish Friday’s post which I was working on, sitting in my jammies on Wednesday morning. (Poor Deputy - I was a frightful sight with no make up). At least he was a familiar and friendly face.
Now, I have an issue with you CO. I will chide the others fo rname calling, but you have a conflict of interest, I understand. Is it tru that one of your parents works for one of the attorneys who has filed this law suit against me? If so, you should have made that celar up front. It makes it seem that you are trying to provoke folks in to giving up secrets about the case.
I hope that was not your intention. If you really ar etrying to figure things out, then please, you are welcome here. Keep on posting.
Thanks,
TW
WAIT WAIT wasn’t this section titled “go after family and friends”. Hey TW you may wanna look into OW…… what does the “dixie mafia” do again. According to you all “They go after friends and family”. However, the only names on this site I see are my family’s and friends.
WHAT HAPPENED THERE! Fell off the ole pedestal did we?
Dear CO,
If someone regularly intimidates people with bogus law suits, and establishes a pattern of behavior doing so, then they are fair game, becaus ethey are corruptly manipulating what is supposed to be the justci system, and turning it in to strong arm tactic.
If someone is an official, elected or appointed, or someone activley and prominently involved in the political system, (or press), they are are fair game.
That comes with the territory.
Butif someone goes after a child or a spouse of that person, I mean directly so, that is not fair game. You, for instance, revealed who you are, so you have become a Public Person, by choice. BUt, if I had attacked, say George Bush’s daughters, or Chelsea Clinton, then that is not fair game.
I am saying this to EVERYONE, not just CO. STOP the name calling, and STOP dragging family memebers of the corrupt individuals in to this website. I will block you, whoever you are, if you cannot keep a cool head, and stick to suject matter. I leave for a few hours, and come back, and it is like Kindergartern Cop on the cop’s first day.
Thanks, CO, for making some valid points, but you are pushing it too, with the vitriole.
TW
CO…I did apologize…in fact I have nothing against your mother…(I actually like her)but I did state the facts..and not saying your a child, but you do seem as if you are quoting other peoples thought to me, and YOUR family is all in this, since they work for JD, and he is obviously so far into BLC he might as well move into his building to practice law with him.
I have seen first hand some of the Good Ole Buddy system and I have witnessed the judges that come out from the back room with their minds already made up before the first bit of testimony is given, the attorneys get back there and bend the ear of their friend and wahlah…the decisions made. If KCC is preciding over a case of her fathers and his law firm..or there is a conflice of intrest, she should recuse herself…if Jon Woods doesn’t have time or doesn’t want to listen to a case because its a bother to him…he should recuse hisself…the matter is plain and simple. I have actually been told by an attorney, when I stated that KCC had already made up her mind on a case I was listening to…(she ruled in favor of the defendant that had AP as the attorney) my attorney stated that they had grown up together and that they were very close. As if it were okay she had made a bad judgement and went with her old buddy AP. This wasn’t even my case, but all I could think of was that if that had been me, I wouldn’t have gotten that “slap on the wrist” judgement…so until you have taken the time to go sit in that court room and watch the fiasco that goes on, Im thinking that your hearing one side of the story, and its coming straight from Mom’s place of employment…Sorry if that offends you, but that is my opinion…and like they say everyones got one
Dear OW,
That is a very good idea. I have listened to folks complain about Floyd County and Rome City Commission decisions, and have challeneged them to come sit in and listen to and observe the whole process, not just the televised meetings, but the caucus, where the nitty gritty gets discussed.
Same with our local courts. Taking a few days off to come observe various courts in one’s jurisdcition is a wonderful way to see the good and the bad.
BUt do not let anyone know you ar eocming. Just show up. Sneak in the back, st down, listen and watch.
I hate I have to call you such a mockery of a name, OVERWHELMED, you sound so weathered as to the court proceedings and workings of this town. (for those of you who don’t know that is sarcasm)
TW again, who am I talking to here? She won’t identify herself, but she sounds so involved in all of this county’s workings that you criticize in your book. Also, as to how much she likes my mother….. why is she dragging her into this and belittling me, her son. Isn’t this step II in the dixie mafia’s marginalizing Jesse tactics or some crap.
Dear CO,
I am guessing, as this is what I gathered from her comments, that she must know you, from the name your proclaimed here last night. I have no idea who she is, or who you are, except that you said that you were JJ, and that you are 26. Several posters today have made references to one of your parents working for either BLC, John Dennis or Rex Abernathy. If this is tru, then folks probably think you should have made it clear that you do have a dog in thsi fight.
Posters do not always say what their do is, but when they are related to someone being discussed, they usually preface it with a caveat that they have a dog in this fight.
But both of you are nameless, faceless people to me…okay you have a name, now.
TW
Look …you were the SILLY CHILD that put yourself out there, by publishing your name…you set yourself up for this…so if you cant take it, don’t post….
coward
Dear CO,
There is a BIG difference bewteen being a coward, and being prident. The people on thsi website are not cowards. I made it clear along time ago that someone had gotten in to my harddrive through a worm/virus, (I forget the which it is), and that someone was “Peeking” illegally, in violation of the Omnibus Act.
The feds know who it is, and are PRUDENT not to tell me, cause they know I might just say something in a fit of rage. They know alot of things, about phone calls, gun shots and “Messages” left at my doorstep.
Folks wre not surprised when i got sued, and they assume that your paremt’s boss and his cronies know who DirtyBoy is, because of the illegal snooping. I am surprized that he has not been sued. I imagine that he has decided to stay away for that very reason, that he realizes that my computer has been invaded.
So, do not call my posters cowards. DISCRETION is the BETTER part of VALOR.
Thanks,
TW
OW and CO,
It’s not being a coward as much as it’s survival of the fittest. When you hang around grown-ups, they talk in code around their children. And right now it’s the only safe thing to do. We all know that “Big Brother” is watching…(”1984″- George Orwell, I think)
Soooooooooo CO,
don’t you see that the grown-ups are talking and that children should be seen and not heard from……
Dear Tinkerbell,
I am going to ask you please to lighten up on the condenscension. CO may come around, and if not to our whole way of thinking, if he sees that most of us are reasonable, he will at least, perhaps, learn to respect our point of view. He is not a child, he made that clear.
So, stop the ‘holier than though’ thing. I have been a poor example, and usually am worst when it has been a fourteen hour day of meetings, and my blood sugar is low, and I come home and find vitriole everwhere.
I apologize for not being a better host/role model.
Thanks,
Teresa
Well excuse the childish question, but I did ask “what the title of this section of the book was” and “what happened to the moral high ground of not attacking people’s families” in not so many words. Or were the big people talking to each other again in “code”……. directed explicitly to me and about me.
CO or JJ..go back and read your post..the ones that you were attacking TW and everyone on this blog….You are not a CO..your family is all in this, so of course your biased in your opinion…the facts are TW has brought out ALOT of facts and backed them up…she has made me sit up and take notice, and apparently I am not the only one. This isn’t personal attacks on you, so get over it, it is people watching and reading and trying to be informed. TW may not be 100% correct, in everything she is printing, but if you have witnessed injustise and corruption that has been going on since long before you were ever even thought of…maybe it is time to try and figure out a way to help clean our county up.
I can remember the bootlegger Donald S..over in Mt View years ago..the had a drive thru service at his home with the SO driving by and never stopping to arrest anyone…The SO was bought and paid for…I can’t prove it….but everyone knew it…now instead of bootleggers it’s drugs. Liquor was bad enough, but the stuff out there now will kill you. Your old enough to know people…good people that have got on that stuff and can’t get off.
Well same thing, because of money and their place in society some are bringing it in and making a fortune off of it at out county’s expense. I don’t know if BLC, JD, AP and the judges are in it because of the DIXIE MAFIA..but you don’t know that their not….
So why not wait on your judgemental comments until TW is finished with her story, lets wait and see if their are charges filed. And do yourself a favor…go sit in the court room every now and then…watch and listen…its scary that these individuals can decide so many innocents peoples future..who are they that they are so perfect that they get to decide the faith of the innocent???
Thanks Tink…He’s a child and doesn’t have a clue so we will overlook him…but he wants to dish it out but sure can’t take it. He’s probably a good boy, just uninformed and verrrrrry biased
Has anyone heard from dirtyboy today? I’ve looked around and haven’t seen any postings. For that matter a lot of the regulars aren’t here today. They must all be out getting ready for Christmas.
Dear Tink,
I hope folks are having a wonderful time planning surprizes for children and old folks, and making grocery lists, and such. My son will be home from college soon, and I plan on shutting down posting for a few days at least, while he is here, except for breaking news, and prewritten stuff. Next weekend, we will make hand made marzipan, in shapes of starwberries, peaches, bannanas, and green apples. I use food color for the various batches of almond paste dough, hand shape each cookie, and take a tooth pick and dot the strawberries all over for the seed speckels. I use cloves at each end of the bananananana, (where is Dimitri Martin when you need him?), and i just love doing it.
Then, we give those as Christams gifts to close friends.
TW
Back to the topic at hand. Besides BB, are there any other lawyers that have spent along time trying to fight the Chattooga County Justice system? If so, what happened to them? Are they still fighting for what is right, or did they give up and join the other side?
There is a lot of activity on here today. I wonder what made CO get on here today of all days to post? Overwhelmed you made a lot of great points. I agree with your opinion that the judges need to recuse themselves from cases where there is a conflict of interest. That doesn’t happen, honestly I can’t recall ever seeing it happen in this county. I have seen a few attorneys, mostly public defenders ask to have themselves recused though for conflicts.
Tink..If there are any others that disagree with the County Justice system, they probably just keep their mouths shut and try to get along and not get involved.
Sniff..thanks, I think all each of us want is accoutablitly..and honesty. Do these judges not realize how much respect they would get if they recused themselves for obvious “conflicts”. I mean look at Arch F and his brother in law..what were they thinking? It would never come out? I guess if it weren’t for TW it might not have. Look at TW’s case with her son. Where does that judge deem hisself fit to decide the fate of her son, when he would not even look at the evidence. I have seen the same thing in Chattooga Co. and all the judges are not bad, but when the listen to an attorney (who is their friend and cohort) instead of the facts they can damage so many innocent lives…The criminal I don’t know how to feel…but its a plain fact that some people with the same crime gets more or less time, more or less fines, all according to who you are, your money, and which attorney has bent the judges ear to get the verdict of choice. If BLC is pulling strings…it needs to stop. If he fixing elections for his own needs…it needs to stop, and there needs to be accountibility.
That is very obvious when you read the sentences handed down in the local paper. I don’t know if there are really any attorneys that actually try to fight the justice system in this county. I think most just accept that “it is what it is” and they go along with it. There are so many people out there that don’t won’t to stir up trouble. They are just content to sit back and let things be. It is long past time for change in this county. But I know from past experience it takes for than one or two people to make this happen. In my opinion the DM is alot bigger than anyone knows and reaches alot of other areas.
I have to agree about the DM..Ive sat back and thought of past happenings, statements from friend, the fact GM (former Sheriff) made it all the way up to Zell Millers office…the rumors and when you put it all together…where theres smoke there is probably fire.
Ive said before I know someone that had some of those absentee ballots, and he said in casual conversation that BLC had paid him to go out and get votes with them. Now I don’t know if BLC paid him directly (probably not) but he knew who had hired him, and where the money came from..until TW started her article and made it the talk of the town, I had no idea what he did was illegal, and I don’t know that he did. But if they can fix the election here, what eles can they do?
I think they can do alot. I think they can get rid of GBI and FBI agents that get close to making a case against them or getting ready to take action in an investigation. I think they could make people disappear and never be heard from again. I honestly think that anything is possible with the power they have. I’m sure that the person you know probably didn’t know he was doing anything wrong. I also doubt that BLC paid him directly. I believe that it would have went through a 3rd party so that there would be no direct link.
this place is awesome.. I am linked to a dog in this fight but I never liked the breed…..
Dear JAB,
Thank you so much. Folks have to understand that just because you are related to a corrupt individiual, or have to wrok for a corrupt individual, does not mean you are corrupt. We cannot choose our blood line, but we can choose to be better than some in our bloodlines. We can choose to hold thos ein our familiies accountable. That is the way to effect change.
This means so much.
Thank you,
TW
Friendly reminder to all posters,
A lot is two words. Hisself is NOT a word. Surprize is spelled surprise. I won’t even address the horrid sentence construction.
I understand types; I really do.
If you want to be taken seriously by literate, educated people who read this blog, perhaps you should take command of the English language. To fail to do so only exhibits your lack of intellect and negates your comments.
Of course, I am speaking/writing my own opinion.
Also, to spell correctly the names of the principals involved in this fictitious drama would lend credibility to your allegations/posts. It’s just sloppy and unprofessional.
This site is purported to be a news site; therefore, those reporting the news (TW) should be more professional. Posters, of course, should not be held to the same standard as they do not claim to be journalists.
Dear Laura,
1. You are right about my spelling, when I do not catch a name misspelled. I am either researching, interviewing or writing about 16-18 nhours a day, and I am a one man show. I used to be very critical of the newspaper in this town for constantly misspellin, not just names but common words as well, and they have full time editors, (plural). We all make mistakes, and in a one man show, without benefit of an editor, it will happen. I will try to be more on my toes.
2. Often, I am quoting a report, public document, etc., and as I understand the rules of journalism, one must re-print exactly. IF a GBI agent has misspelled a name or a word, and I am quoting from his/her report, I have to put exactly what he/she has written.
3. I do not have fiction on my website. EVERYTHING I put in comes from public documents, interviews, official reports. Unless, of course, you are accusing GBI agents, Medical Examiners, Police Officers, Court Transcriptionists of making up fiction for their official reporting capacities. If that is what you are suggesting, well, there is nothing more I can say. Some people just refuse to see the truth.
I will try to be more accurate in my news story, feature story and op-ed spellings. But if you could let me know which names are mis-spelled, that would be nice. As I have said, I get the spellings from the documents. I will even say that at some points in the GBI documents, although not places I was quoting form, Branch Connelly was spelled over and over again as Branch Donnelly. And in the SO’s report of the Luke Puckett case, they kept referrring to Eva Puckett as “Edna” and “Edith”. Go figure.
Teresa
I think that CO is really alot older than the 26 yrs old that he is claiming to be. I don’t know of any 26 yr olds using the kind of vocabulary that he is using here. I think he may be someone else. Anyone else pick up on that?
Ole Buddy, I know plenty of 26 year olds who use the kind of vocabulary that CO uses. In fact, I know plenty of 15 year olds who use such vocabulary. It’s not that uncommon among people who have been raised to take advantage of their educational opportunites.
Laura, The command of the Queens english does not always relate to “real” knowledge. Remember where most of us went to public school.
I think it is great that CO can use such vocabulary, he seems to express his ignorance very well. i jest wunder if he can wipe his butt wif both hands.
Dear BB,
Now that is funny!
BUt I have to admit something I am not proud of. When I was 26, I was in school college, (I had to start and stop many time during my life with work and kids), and I was taking a Political Science Class at Armstrong State in Savannah. As a class assignment, we had to attend a Jesse Jackson rally there, (Presidential season), and he addressed the crowd passionately, citing all sorts of facts, and statistics. I wrote evertthing down, and when we compared our notes in class the next week, we all pretty much had the same stuff. We had all heard him correctly.
Well, I was so outraged at what he had shared about Republicans, and the corruption , that I, as a republican, wrote a Letter to the Editor, citing what Mr. Jackson had allgeds, and promptly switched parties.
The next week, someone responded to my Letter, with the REAL truth, the actual facts, the actual staistics, and the sources where I could verify them. I was devastated to learn, at 26, that a politician would lie so openly and without being challenged by others in power. I was embarrassed that I had been so naive.
I was 26 years old, and a parent, and I had been hoodwinked. So, cut CO some slack. If he keeps reading this site, and if he bothers to check the sources himself, he will have to come around. I suspect that he was raised in a protected environment as I was. I had a hard time believing that Watergate really happened. Really. I was in high school at the time, and I really thought that Nixon was innocent, and that we would all wake up one morning to find out these charges in the press had been some elaborate hoax by the Democratic Party.
Thanks,
TW
Laura, we don’t need a lesson in grammer, and if your so “ABOVE” this site, and if what you see gets under your skin so bad that it makes you this rude…go somewhere eles…or learn to be nice..either is fine with me.
Dear OW,
Laura has a point. We spend billions on education in this country, and we should be able to spell words correctly. Going back and proof reading would catch a lot of stuff, and punctuation would help other readers understand, the first time through, what a poster is trying to say. It is obvious that, many times, someone flies at the keys, in the heat of the moment.
However, perhaps Laura has not been to any other news websites which allow comments, like the Rome News Tribune, or the AJC or the Savannah News Press. When people blog, words get mis-spelled, and rules of grammar are ignored.
Thanks,
TW
Bull…26 is about right, for his age…maybe he’s studing to be an attorney…LOL
TW..thats exactly what I do, I type and type as if Im talking to someone or thinking out loud and hit submit….then I think OOOPS I should have went back and proof read….so what…she doesn’t have to be rude. when I read, I may have to read it twice to get the message someone has typed, but it doesn’t make me fell as if I need to disipline the writer…
I say she needs to be nice and realize the people on here are not on her to get a grammer lesson, they are here to learn about what is going on in our County
Dear OW,
You are right. We all need to be less condescending.
Hey, ya’ll need to check out the Medicine, Science & Technology column, and click on that link to see something so cool.
TW
After I reread that post, I see I should have proof read again….OOOps
Dear OW -
LOL.
I tell you what I have trouble with. I transpose letters in words when I am typing too fast, and certain words, ALWAYS. Words like “friend”,which I always type as “firend” and “from” as “form”. In an article, of course the “firend” will show up red, but “form” is a real word, and does not shoe up. NOw see, that is a perfect example. The “W” sits next to the “E” on my keyboard, and when I was just typing, I hit the “e” instead of the “w”.
I am off to make some more spelling errors in my stories. I am working on an op-ed, and then have to start my next expose on the courts in Chattooga County…it is a case of the Bobby Lee Cook law firm standing before Judge Connelly in the shaken baby death case.
Can someone answer this for me? Why does John Dennis associate in so many cases with BLC’s law firm. I can understand associating with a local law firm, if an out of town client/attorney needs a familiar territory lawyer, or if one’s area of expertise is not compatible with a client’s needs. But, doesn’t John Dennis practice in Summerville? He is a member of the State Bar all on his own, isn’t he?
TW
Laura,
We are only human you know. Being human entitles us to make mistakes. I believe that most of us post and state how we feel. So sometimes that makes it hard to always be grammatically correct. If this offends you then I am sorry. As for the spelling mistakes that is easy to do when typing. Everyone is not always familiar with the keys of the keyboard and do make mistakes. You need to remember that NOONE is perfect.
Laura, what I’m saying is maybe CO is being coached as to what to type here.
Sorry CO, wish I could say those big words and make sentences as you do. We all have diffrent opinions, if we could all agree to one thing and that would be honesty. We all travel diffrent roads, no matter what our status is in society(public officials, mill workers,english teachers, ditch diggers and etc), if we could all be on the “honest road”, wheather we are in the left lane, right lane or center lane, if we can keep it between the ditches we could still have diffrent opiinions but we would all be headed in the same direction.
BTW- don’t try it with both hands. lol
I agree BB. I wish I could always write with correct grammar and sentence structure. Sometimes that is very hard to do. There are times when I know my sentence structure is not correct. However I have been out of school for awhile and can not always remember the correct way.
TW, I’m not sure why JD associates with BLC’s law firm. I believe you will find that the attorneys in this county normally associate very closely with one another. As some would say “They are thick as thiefs.” Just my opinion!
Im not so sure of that sniff…AP doesn’t nornally file cases with BLC, I know he is like his prodical son (rumour has it) but it seems JD is more..like maybe being groomed for a big part??? I don’t think he even will go against his cases and vise verses, and Im talking BLC whole law firm. Its like the consider their selves one office..I could be mistaken in my observation, but what Ive seen they are very tight.
What Ive seen of JD he considers being underhanded in his dealing as practicing law..not being underhanded.
I know that JD pursues some cases above others. I have seen him jump on cases that involve certain things or issues. I know he seems to be a very busy man. They often have to wait on him and RA to proceed with their cases in court because they are often unavailable.
I wasn’t really saying that they file cases together, just that they are always talking and associating with one another very closely. But the same could be said of law enforcement officers and even doctors. Certain professions seem to stick together and associate closely with one another.
I’m working with an ex deputy sheriff, he was asked where is the
chicken fights. He goes to gmcpockduter(the names have been changed to protect the innocent) says sheriff I’m not going to have people coming up to me asking me which where are the chicken fights.
So he goes to the chicken fights place and backs his squad car up in
the woods. The first car to pull in was a white lincoln with a tag that
read representative of Tennessee. When he saw that he cranked up his
car and left because he decided it was to big for him to deal with.
Wow…Im totally confused…
I’m confused also WoW. Are you trying to say that law enforcement on the local level are afraid to act? If so I agree. It will take agencies a lot higher up to actually take all involved down.
SE…..I see you keep checking back too! I am waiting for part III and maybe the video to be posted…haven’t heard anything from TW most of the day…..maybe she’s hard at work or taking a nap (Im sure she deserves a break after last week)
I know absolutely nothing,a few people have told me stuff they say
they saw. I’m not following around anybody. How do I know what
is going on. Some stuff you guess well I don’t believe it and other
stuff you guess well it does sound like a possibility.
I’m waiting too. I’m sure TW is tired and needs a break. Even with a good attorney, I’m sure she’s worried about the lawsuit. I’m pulling for her.
Sometimes you can’t believe everything you hear. Then there are times you know it’s true even though it’s hard to believe.
Dear SE, and others,
I am just checking in. My man is almost ready with the video. It will come through a U-Tube connection, just as RomeGa Sir suggested.
I had to post local stories today, an op-ed, and some new Planning Commission postings, and am hard at at work on gathering evidence for my suit. I do have a busy week next week, pulling everything together for my atty, because more and more folks across the state and other states are sending in either good info or evidence, and my attorney is scrambling to keep up. I had no idea how much BLC and his antics are loathed across the south.
Anyway, the press release has now been pushed back until probably late next week, or first of the following week. I am fine with that.
I will post a story late tonight, which I always do for the weekly series, but it is more a continuation of last week’s Feature. They were successful only in so far as postponing the inevitable for a few days.
I am exhausted, but one of those, wonderful, look how much we have accomplished sort of exhaustions.
Hopefully, I will have time this week, as we prepare our answer and get ready for the bogus deposition, to post a new story on Wednesday and Friday to complete tonight’s posting on answering BLC’s challenge. I hope readers will understand if I do not, though, since I still have other local news and public meetings to attend in addition to litigating and doing Chattooga County Features.
Ya’ll take care, and I may not be answering a lot of these posts this next week. But ya’ll keep posting, and SniffsEvil, I am leaving you in charge to monitor folks and keep them from getting childish, no matter how attacks may come from others. Scold if necessary. I will be checking in, and if anyone gets really bad, I will block them until I get back.
Now, back to the story for Monday’s Feature posting.
TW
Thanks TW for the confidence you have in me to monitor folks. I look forward to reading your next feature story. I know you have much to do. If there was a way I could help, I would gladly.
SE-have you seen the message to the anonymous poster? (Its on the Home Page)All kinds of goodies…I would love to know what arson she is speaking of, who Jon D alledgedly abused, and if BLC gets out of his speeding ticket…something about L Lively also?
No I haven’t but I’ll check it out. Thanks, OW.
OW, I just read it. It appears that TW is getting some very interesting information on a daily basis.
This county is so small and everone knows everyone, and what they are doing, and if they don’t ,just ask someone off the street and they will have some sort of info….there is no telling what kind of info is being sent in. I just hope she gets any and all info to the right people and let the chips fall where they may….
Just out of curiosity, is Ed H the one that formerly to work for Ga Power, and got caught DUI while in one of their trucks? Seems like I heard he was forced to retire??
I’m not positive but I believe it may be. I’ve heard the name before all this business came up but I can’t remember what I heard or read.
No, Overwhelmed, Ed H was not the one in the accident while DUI. That was another GA Power worker.
As far as lawyers working together on cases, it is common practice in many professions to take work and then sub-contract some of the work to others. I have knowledge of cases where lawyers have done some of the leg work for BLC. The two of them will then present the case together in court (this is in criminal cases where the DA is the opposing
attorney). This is not a conflict of interest. The conflict of interest would come in if, for example, JD was hired to defend someone in a civil case and the opposing attorney was BLC, and they had previously worked together. BLC has a huge case load I am sure and I would not find it unusual for him to sub-contract certain cases and then confer with the attorney he has gathering all the information for the case. Lawyers use para-legals for this in larger cities but face it, Summerville probably doesn’t have professionally trained para-legals. Working with a lawyer who has the experience of BLC would be very beneficial to someone trying to build a law firm. BLC has tried cases all over the world from what I hear. I was told years ago, by someone who was good friends with BLC, that he has a photographic memory or at least pretty close to it. So, no wonder they are all jumping into bed with him, so to speak.
As far as the deputy being afraid to go into the chicken fight or whatever illegal activity that was mentioned, he/she probably did a smart thing. It wouldn’t be prudent to go into something like that not knowing if anyone else was watching your back. One or two men alone, badge or no badge, cannot break something that big up alone. It would be useless to try. In a case like that, when it is an ongoing thing, you would want to refer the case to the GBI.
Thanks Vox. That was very good information. I agree with you. I think other attorneys probably do some of the leg work and sub-contract with BLC. BLC also has private investigators at his disposal. I think we have a few paralegals in the county but probably not too many. I also agree one or two officers could not expect to break up or bust a chicken fight or anything else that was illegal that was on a larger scale. It is always smart to have plenty of personnel or back up on something like that.
No vox what I though interesting was a white Lincoln continental
with a representative of Tennessee tag. Maybe you only get in
trouble about fighting animals when you are a football player. When
one sees that kind of power pull in the lot well.
Vox…am I understanding this correctly…since they..JD and BLC works together, they will not go against each other in court?? So same would go for AP and TP would not go against JD in court?? Would that include anyone in BLC’s Law Firm? Is JD being used as BLC’s paralegal or is he being groomed?
And then that would mean BB, Ken B and Don T are about the only other attorneys in town that you could hire to go up against TP, AP, JD, BLC, RA???oh and AF? What is wrong with this picture? And has anyone ever looked into “conflice of interest” has taken place???
So then it is very possible that JD and all the rest should have a conflict of interest with KKC in my opinion.
It all sounds so sinister to me? Good vs Evil, know what I mean???
Thanks for the info…it is very enlightening.
Well, as a matter of fact I think KB has contracted cases with BLC in the past. But as a rule anyone you share an office with you can not go against in court. I would assume that if you do work for them on a regular basis that would be a conflict of interest as well.
As a matter of PUBLIC RECORD,where do I get the name of the defendent in this “shaken baby” case? I don’t live in the county but, my GOD is no-one paying attention to the obvious lack of justice for the victims of crime in your area? Children and the elderly. Will it just go on and on? Get some backbone people! Demand what is yours by right. JUSTICE, JUSTICE, JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!
Dear Room -
Just go to the Chattooga County Courthouse, and look up the file number I referenced. It is from 1998.
By the way, while I am waiting for a meeting to start, I am posting this. It just occurred to me that if the Hammitt’s transferred the building to John Dennis before they filed this suit, or if they plan on transferring it dutring the litigation, that would be even a better case for fraud than in the case against Ben and Linda Ballenger, who had gone through a divorce and were merely transferring rights as part of disposing of marital assests.
I mean, in this situation, it is the Plaintiff trasferring assests to the Attorney filing the suit against me!
I added that to the anonyomous email message under Breaking News.
TW
The idea of judges not being from the area is looking better and better. I am sure that it is going to take legislation to change the system. Also, I think that the system of appointing Judges should be seriously looked at. I also think that the length of their term should also be looked at. Why the Judicial system hasn’t came under fire, seems to point to the fact that they must be protected from higher up. I guess that we can continue to point fingers, but until enough people act on this it will stay the same. Good ol’ Dirtyboy said it best, It’s going to take some kind of “public” forum, with a lot of people showing up, and demand that their voice be heard. I guess that we can start by boycotting the Attorneys that are in question. If we continue to hurt them in their pockets, they will be forced to change.
RE: Laura’s Friendly reminder to all posters…
I was just thinking to myself how badly this public internet forum needs a self-aggrandizing cock-a-hoop to scold and belittle all the dirty peasants for using such piss-poor grammatical skills. And doing so with such a high-handed, elitist fervor that would even make Carl Marx proud! (Oh my goodness! Did I just start a sentence with a coordinated conjunction?)
- Zat
Dear Zat,
Whoever you are, I adore you! Male, Female, Martian or Beast…I adore you. Did you just catch “Communications Major” post? I just approved it, as it is a new poster.
He/She posted under “A Temporary Retraction…” from last week. Go to Arcives, “Breaking News”
TW
HEY ZAT and all - I know that it is late in the day, but I wanted to be sure that ya’ll all saw the Breaking News, re Carlton Vines, and the new Ga Power news under it.
TW….lets strike another on up for “Letting the light shine In”. The county officials know they are being watched. Any other time this would have been swept under the rug and Carlton Vines would be let off scott free…
Im impressed that they (TP and JW) have done this, now I just wonder if this was by choice or under the influence of the Gov.
I find it very interesting that they decided to recuse themselves. Let the Light Keep Shining In!
Is this true? A long long time ago in never never land,an ex SO police
officer said I was on duty on SUNDAY morning and a court case was
held in which the man accused was ask if he had 15,000. He said yes, the money was disturbed and the case went away. Guess who he said
was the judge? Obviously this is a dreamed I had hmmmm
In the Summerville News last week there was mention that TW either misquoted someone on a statement about the election fraud case or
some thing to that effect….could anyone clarify what was said and TW afterwards would you respond to it, so you may clairfy what was reported..someone mentioned this to me and I didn’t have a paper to read it for myself.
Dear OW -
I do not get the BLC Gazzette, but, a friend of mine here in Rome does. He said he saved me a copy to frame. I do not know what the story is referring to, and they certainly did not contact me to ask.
TW
Thanks, I know that the SN is very biased, just would like clairfication for all your readers.
OW -
I have not seen it, and I have no clue what they said, so I cannot clarify it.
TW
WOW…….I know of a case where Rex A was paid $25000 cash for a criminal case, of a drug dealer…wonder if that cash was ever logged in as “Recieved” on the books at C&C???? Probably not…I saw this reciept myself….by accident of course…
finally, off of the chattooga county story, where I personally believe they’re all honest folks trying to do the best they can
State v. dunagan, the one where the appeals court upheld all of the judge’s decisions? hmmmmm.
I drive a silver vehicle…does that make me Man In Silver?
If you’re going to post and take people to task for not stating the dog they have in the fight, then all of you should live up to the same standard….Conscientious Objector took all of you to task, not grammatically, but logically. Not only did you attack him because of his relationship to certain folks in Chattooga, you also then attempted to show how “evil” he was because of who his family was…..and how because he was family with these ‘evil” people, then he must too be evil……all under an article talking about how to marginalize people by going after their family. You all not only got played like a fiddle by a 26 year old (who you call child), but you also got exposed for the hypocrites you were being.
Dear RomeGaSir:
I take exception to your complaint here, because I, Teresa Watson, defended CO. Please go back and read. I challenge you to. I did take exception with something he did, not being up front about dogs in fights, but not until he revealed who he was, and my other readers then knoew he had a dog in the fight. I did chastise the other posters here for their criticisms of him, and even shared a mistake I made in judgment from when I was 26, before I had the rest of the story. I wrote that Reasonable Minds Can Disagree.
So do not reign down so hard here, RGS. I defended CO vigorously.
Thanks,
TW
I have to disagree with you Romegasir. Not all of us attacked Conscientious Objector. I don’t hold people responsible for things that their family members may or may not do. I do not feel that just because someone works for someone who may be questionable or dishonest that it makes them questionable or dishonest. I also agree with some things he said. However I have a dog in this fight and at this time I don’t feel that I need to reveal to everyone who I am. When the time is right I will do so. He wanted to get on this site and question the posters about whether or not we have jobs. Frankly that is none of his business. I did question why that day of all days he got on to post. It seems like stories of this magnitude brings out the worst in all of us at times. Maybe we take things to personally at times but I think we all want to see changes in this county.
I also wanted to say that I have always found your comments and posts to be extremely enlightening romegasir. I enjoyed reading them and have actually missed them.
Keep on posting, overwhelmed, you have already supplied enough information in your posts for over half of chattooga county to know exactly who you are, and it seems romegasir is getting a close-up of who you REALLY are. Overwhelmed, did you ever even consider the possibility that you could still be included in a libel suit against you and, I quote, “Ms. Nipples” together in Chattooga County? Ask Sonny if is is possible, overwhelmed!
TW,
As to your defense….. you never corrected anyone who slandered my family or even asked if they had evidence to my knowledge, or anyone else who reads this blog. So, thanks….. but I guess no thanks to your “defense”. Oh yeah, how’s that going for ya by the way?
Dear CO:
I am sorry, but, who called whom “Ms’ N?”? Where did that come form. do I need to deleat someone’s post for name calling?
TW
I apologize to TW and sniffsevil……..but not to those who attacked CO’s family, not realizing they were making hypocrites of themselves……..and the SUV driver, first initial same as last, hangs out at Skytop, knows who I’m talking about, especially when it comes to hiding the dog you have in the fight…right? It’s not as fun talking when you are the subject of the conversation, and you can’t use YOUR boys to try to shut people up, is it?
CO, I may not be on your side in the fight, I’m not sure where I am to tell you the truth, but your set up of the ones who fell for it was classic………..and I mean classic. I didn’t even see it coming and that’s unusual for me as I am a chess player and always try to think 4 moves ahead. I read back and it was overwhelmed, with tinkerbell as back up………so direct my comments to overwhelmed…….
Dear RGA,
Apology more than accepted. But who is the Skytop person? I have heard names of a judge who used to, (people are always sending me unfounded gossip), but he is one I have such respect for, and cannot imagine that was true of him. Then, I hear gossip about a group of lawyers who hangs out there, or used to. Are you talking about one of these guys? No name here. Send it to my e-mail…Contact@RomeNewsByWatson.com
TW
Apology accepted romegasir. I know were I stand in this situation and why but I can see where some people wouldn’t know where to stand. I think it is safe to say that considering the topics at hand on TW’s website, we are not all going to agree all the time. I think we should be able to disagree without having to resort to name calling and verbally attacking one another. I enjoy good conversation where everyone voices their opinions. I may not agree all the time. Of course they may not agree with me either. I’m okay with that. I actually think that’s good for us. It keeps us human.
sniffs and TW, thanks for accepting the apology….sniffs, it was just so funny, if you go back and read it objectively, you’ll see it too…….CO really set ow up big time………It would be like supporting an article about how math is evil (I once thought it was) and then supporting your theory by using math……
The SUV driving, skytop frequenting, poster on here who pretends not to have a dog in the fight should just fess up, curse me out, so that we can move on LOL.
here here SE I’m a chess player too rome but I can’t think four moves ahead.
For one thing the opponent won’t make the move he suppose to so I go
by whats in front of me he moves and I go by whats in front of me.
I will say I can be beat.
lol wow, you don’t think four wishes ahead…..you think four moves ahead for every possibility that the opponent can choose……
Dear RGS,
Do ya’ll know each other, you and WoW? You seem to be giving him a compliment about his prowess as a chess player, as if you have experienced and been challenged by his skill.
TW
No way its hard enough just to play chess much less think of every move he can make.
I see I have been taunted while sleeping….LOL…RGA, you seem to forget that I did apoligise to CO, and I posted in the heat of the moment and let emotions run away, because CO did not reveal his “Dog”, and to both of you…you are soooooo far off base, its comical……LOL
And CO…please clarify what in the world Ms.N means….haven’t a clue
Co as far as the threat for Libel….send me my seven day notice and I will retract any thing I said that wasn’t true. I don’t believe Ive posted any thing that wasn’t FACT or if it was rumor…I said so.
Just coming into your site and I am curious that people still tremble when the name Bobby Lee Cook is invoked. I’m thinking he must be in his 80’s by now. Can he actually still be practicing law(?!) - and if so, is that wise? I should think he would be in retirement by now.
I don’t believe anyone else in his firm had the connections or personality that he had, so how is it that the influence of this firm isn’t finally starting to peter out a bit? As to his abilities - I think you are probably right. He had some lucky high profile cases early in his career that made him. He never was the amazing lawyer that he is purported to be. You know how the saying goes, “A good lawyer knows the law, a great lawyer knows the judge”…
I haven’t done it yet, but I apologize to CO. I should’ve been more discrete with my comments. I would like to bring up a topic that has been pushed to the back and forgotten. TW needs our help. She has done such good work for the people of the county, and it’s time for us to help her. She is not rich and all of these proceedings are not cheap. We all need to dig deep and try to help her financially. One good turn, deserves another. There are a lot of people here in this county that do have “dog’s” in this fight, and we should all be willing to help her. I know that this is a little off topic, but if we don’t help her, there will be no web-site for us to post on. I am challenging those people who she has helped, and the people that have encouraged her to continue the fight to stand up. Just remember, that if you drop her like a rock, you’ll become no different than the people she is fighting. “Word of mouth” is a very strong way to get information out to the public, and we all need to do that to try to help get the financial help that she deserves. She is working for us, so we need to put her on our “payroll”. I know that TW is an independent person, and doesn’t like to ask for help, so I’m asking for her. TW, I apologize to you for you being in this position, but I promise to try to get the funding that you need.
Mark one up for interestedbystander.That was slick.
Tink…Im sorry, but I think RGA is over reacting..I wrote a few things to CO, only after he had attacked everyone on this site, and he was acting as if he was just a causual observer…which he wasn’t and I did write a few things in the spur of the moment, in the heat of the moment in retaliation for what he had said….but he started it….
I did apologize more than once…so I think enough has been said on this subject.
Hmm…Interesting website. Its about time that they bring justice to these people.
OW,
Don’t be sorry. CO was acting like a child and we both over reacted. I just don’t understand why some people can cause trouble and not be “scolded” or have a “tongue lashing”? But those of us trying to help the fight are censored. TW….Please don’t take this personal, I was raised that no one is better than me, and that I am no better than anyone else. So please don’t think I have a holier than thou attitude. I really am a nice person that will give the Devil the benefit of doubt if conned good enough.
What is so comical is they are evidently trying to figure out who we are…why? whay difference does it make? LOL…I definetly no celebrety, and I could care less who they are…even CO/JJ… if hadn’t been so ignorant to put his name out there…lets face it we all have skeltons in our closet we’d rather the whole world not know…I think it hilarious that they are throwing hints as to who they think I am….I know I over reacted, because I was mad at the holier than thor attitude CO was taking, then when he revealed his name I was thinking “No Wonder”, when your moms in the middle of it, then of course he feels that way….and I say again, she’s a nice person, and I don’t know anything bad about her…just who she choses to work with…LOL…
Ive seen TW get on a roll a few times also, and put people in their place, so she knows some times people speak too quickly…which I did, and thats ALL I am sorry for, because I was acting just like CO…
OW,
I also can not figure out why there is such a need to find out who the people are on here. Is it not good enough to know that the people in their county are tired of being bullied? Is it not good enough for them to know that the people of the county are not going to take it any more?
If it were me, I would quietly retire, or step down as the case may be and just ride of into the sunset where no one knows my name. That would be the most graceful way to bow out without loosing my shirt.
And as always, this is just my opinion and it may or may not reflect the opinions of this site. And we all know about opinions…….right OW!
They want to know who everyone is because they are scared. If they can identify the people posting they will find out if anyone who is posting has any good knowledge that could bring them down. It is like TW has said in the past “Intimidation”. I have no doubt that there are people posting here who could and probably already has provided valuable information for the cause.
Dear SE,
I attended a seminar, although I already knew my rights, and knew there was no good case. I am ready for the deposition. I can hardly wait. The laws in Georgia are really good. If they want a fight, if they want me to head to jail, WE ARE READY.
I was down last night, because I do not have the $$$ for the attorney to represent me in the deposition in the case I have no clue about. I am still trying to raise money for the bogus law suit against me. BUt, I am ready, strong, determined, and have a significant Southeastern Regional News Community backing me, now. They have been keeping tabs, and I learned that today. They sense a REALLY GREAT STORY, both Friday and throughout the rest of the Main Case.
They are aware, with great eyerolls, of a smaller press entity’s part in this whole afair. Mockery and sham is a term I heard more than once today.
I still need money, though. Lots of it, for the law suit aginst me.
TW
TW
LOL
I reckon y’all have seen that dirtyboy is now in the press……he has been identified and sued.
Dear RGS,
He was served the day after me.
Where was it? In the RNT or on television? I know the BLC Gazette does not come out but once a week, right?
TW
I with you sniff, I can just see them everytime someone exposes a bit of personal info about theirselves……(lets write that down)…..charting all tid bits of info…..like the poor girl at the SkyTop….RGA was probably sitting at the bar, mumbling to hisself….”I know thats her “(hating her every move) LOL….Who cares…..can’t we voice our opinion, is that not what this site is for…
Its hilarious and talk about Paranoia….
lol, RGA doesn’t go to the skytop…..and what girl at the skytop are you talking about? Did I miss something?
Lastly, it’s been a while since I’ve been to a bar, but not once did I see a female and hate her…….doesn’t that defeat the purpose of going to a bar?
Don’t know Ken Busbin…do Ya’ll?
Your the one that mention SUV, skytop frequenting????Maybe I miss understood.
Sport Utility Vehicle……….is that what you thought was a female? LOL
I know who one of the posters is, one of the ones that is angry about people not revealing their “dog in the fight” and yet this particular poster has a HUGE one in the fight, but I would never reveal his/her identity………just letting him/her know that I know he/she is a hypocrite……..and he/she will know I’m addressing him/her as soon as he/she sees the suv frequenting skytop.
SUV? girl at skytop, I’m still confused.
So what all does Jon Dennis have to do with this Dixon Mafia organization? Can someone give me the short choppy facts?
Dear Jessica,
Please forgive my scepticism, but since you have not been here much, I am going to caution everyone to be very careful about how they answer this question.
TW
TW,
The lawsuit against dirtyboy was in the RNT today. I noticed he hasn’t been posting on here lately. I figure that is probably due to his lawsuit and advise of his attorney maybe? The really bad thing about his lawsuit is that it is filed in Chattooga Co. Superior Court. I’m afraid that is not very good odds for him. I do hope for the best for dirtyboy and I hope he has all the information he claims to have.
I know you need funds. I wish there was a way I could help there but not sure it’s possible at this time.
Chattooga County is not a good place. I think you are right. His attorney has instructed him to stay off, and WISE advice.
TW
JESSICA?????
Jessica,
Teresa is referring to the alleged organized crime organization as “The Dixie Mafia”, which does not exist.
By the way, what happened to Stanley Anderson’s post? More creative editing on Teresa’s part?
Jessica, go back and read the earlier parts of the thread and that should bring you up to speed.
Good morning everyone. I guess that everyone knows by now that I am being sued for $100,000. I not going to post anything about the case but I do ask for your support and prayers. I have 100% faith in my attorney, and I intend to do what ever he/she tells me to do. Please continue to exercise your Constitutional Rights by posting, just be SMART about it. Thank ya’ll so much for the support.
Dear Jessica,
The so-called “Dixie Mafia” is allegedly run but some prominent attorneys in Chattooga County. Jon Dennis, allegedly, has been seen hanging around these attorneys. Some people are speculating that Jon Dennis is trying to become part of this so called “Dixie Mafia”. Jon Dennis allegedly is not a member of the Cook & Connelly law firm but is one of the attorneys that are suing TW and Dirtyboy.
If you would go back and re-read all of 3 part chapter in the storyline, you will see why Jon Dennis has been talked about recently on this site.
Hey DB…our prayer are with you and TW, and we hope everything goes your way
I have commented in other sections that caution should be used when posting. I have plenty of things to say about plenty of things in Chattooga County, but for fear of being attacked or slammed with a lawsuit. I keep my opinions & knowledge private. There are things that go on in the county that people should be ashamed of. Innocent people being sent away to jail/prision for the sake of not wanting to deal with them or to obtain the facts. DFCS needs work. Judicial System needs work. Commissioner needs work. Animal Control needs work. The ENTIRE Government in the ENTIRE county NEEDS work!
Citizen of the county should be able to express their beliefs, opinions, concerns,problems without the fear of prosecution/indimidation from ANYONE.
Citizens of the county should be able to speak FACTS whether it be in written form or voicing their opinions. But They should ONLY state the facts when there is PROVEN documentation.
Dear Bree,
You are very wise. Bobby Lee Cook is coming after two more readers, and ya’ll need to go to Breaking News to see what about.
Bree,
There are ways to express yourself without the fear. Just remember not to mention specific names (unless proof is in hand). We (the county) need the people with information of wrong doing to come forward with their proof. If we all stand together, it will be a lot harder to quiet hundreds of people. Right now only certain people are being targeted because they were not afraid to voice the facts. When the law suits are over, we will see who collects $1,000,000 or $100,000 and who doesn’t. Good luck to both TW and “dirtyboy”. May God shine upon both of you.
Good luck to you dirtyboy. We will all be praying for you.
DB,
My prayers are with you.
Tink
Dear Tink,
I join you there. DB excercised his right to free speech about some things he seems to have perosnal knowledge. Maybe, in the end, all of this will be the straw that broke the Camel’s back…of oppression and tyranny. Mu favorite Christmas song is the French Carol, Cantique de Noel, which we know as ‘Oh Holy Night”.
The second verse says “Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His Gospel is Peace. Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother, and in His name all oppression shall cease”.
I love that verse. We could have the chance to break the chains of our brothers and sisters in Chattooga County, because of DB’s post. I hope so. I was very down last evening, and very harsh, and after thinking about it, removed what I posted.
I apologize for being so hard on you guys who are trying.
Pray for me, and for DirtyBoy and for the two who the Cartel is roaming to and fro to devour.
TW
RomeGaS, Do you possibly believe that someone who has been around as long as myself doesn’t know who you are? Do you think you are invisible?More education and maturity will not cover up your past.
Why is it your goal in life to expose a fellow poster. What is the history between you and the people you try to expose. What is your goal? How much respect do you think it gains you. NONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!A person like yourself with education and a pretty good talent for thinking out a subject and then writing about it surely doesn’t need to sully that reputation and talent by becoming the gossip of the site. The truth is I do have a dog in the fight, but have I denied that?have I ever once denied that. Is it not possible that all of us have some sort of dog in the fight, whether it be exposing corruption or telling of dealing with it up close and personal. You are a child compared to myself when it comes to dealing with the corrupted judicial system in this area. Your mindset remains LE and you will never change. Education can increase your knowledge of books, but experience in the real world is the knowledge needed to combat corruption. Get a Life, Act like a Man, Get off your crusade to expose your fellow posters. It’s possible I could give you information that would drastically change your take on what the real world looks like. You know so much, pick up the phone and call me,as you have so often pointed out “I am not hard to find”
TW and DB, you guys rest assured that the real people of this site and the real people of this area will come to your aid. I do not have a white horse and a white hat but my heart is in the right place and both of you have earned my respect. Not many do.
I’m sorry, but my kids take up too much of my time to read all of that. I’ve heard some rumors around summerville and menlo, but for all I know..those are rumors.
Can someone say anything without getting any trouble or something? Its all mere speculation.
@BULL BUTT Yes?
MIB? Who am I and who are you? and what the hell are you talking about?
Am I suprised that the posters here have a dog in this fight? No. Everyone has. Freedom of the Press, Freedom of Speach, Freedom to live without worrying about what you’ve worked hard for being taken away by someone who sits around plotting some lame lawsuit. I have to skip through all the news networks to come up with what is really going on with our Federal Government. Corruption everywhere. IN MY OPINION! Follow the paper trail. Follow the money. It always comes down to money. Who paid the Summerville man to collect the absentee ballots? I went online to Fox5 like TW said and there is a man saying he didn’t know he had broken the law by collecting the ballots. I wouldn’t have had a clue either. MY mind doesn’t work that way. I would have gone blindly along thinking I was giving legitimate help to some elderly or infirmed person. I feel like I have to have a law degree in order to post on a website now. Oh well. This is JUST MY OPINION , for what it is worth.
TW,
According to the BLC Gazette, you are scheduled to give your deposition in the Galloway vs. Mayor Jones tomorrow. Do you plan to attend? I was just curious. Of course that story and the story of the law suit against dirtyboy was front page news.
Dear SE,
Yes, I am scheduled to give a deposition, BUT NOT IN THE LAW SUIT FILED AGAINST ME OR DIRTY BOY.
Bobby Lee Cook has subpoened me in a case I have no knowledge of, for two people that seem to have some disagreement about something, otherwise, there would be no law suit.
I do not know why in the Heck I have been subpoenaed. BUt attorneys across this nation have contacted me, and explained that Bobby lee Cook does this sort of stuff to intimidate people. He illegally manipulates the legal system in Chattooga County, and gets away with it, and it makes him think he can do the same all over the country,….but he is a miserable failure outside of Chattooga County. He uses the mockery that is called justice in Chattooga County to his own perverted ends, to satisfy the lusts of his own ego, so, who knows?
But the O.C.G.A. is clear about when and why and WHY NOT a depositon, or any discovery can be made, and it is very clear on protecting sources of News Gatherers…One does not have to even be a reporter, but simply a gatherer of information, to be protected. We suspect that he can not legally find a way to shut me up, because I do not break the laws, and I am transparent about failures in my life, so he thinks he can stop me by embarrassing me in some way.
Just so ya’ll will know, for instance:
1. Discovery of persons not a party to the law suit have to have something of relevance to offer one of the litigants. The deposing party has to prove that I have “anything which is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action”. O.C.G.A 9-11-26, Scope of Discovery - in General.
2. Further more, we suspect that the deposition is being taken in “Bad Faith” and “in such manner as unreasonably “to annoy, embarrass, or oppress the deponent”.(me). O.C.G.A. 9-11-30.
Furthermore, this deposition is purposed specifically for the “annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, and undue burden” of Deponent. O.C.G.A. 9-11- 26, Protective Orders - which is strictly prohibited.
3. It is outrageous because, I did not know either Plaintiff or Defendant when what ever dispute arose between them, nor when this action was filed, and therefore cannot offer any insight in to anything “which is relevant to the subject matter involved in the pending action”, and Plaintiff’s attorney knows this. O.C.G.A 9-11-26, Scope of Discovery.
4. Because I do not really know either party or even the gist of the case between them, I cannot possess anything or any knowledge which the plaintiff “has substantial need of in the preparation of his case and that he is unable without undue hardship to obtain the substantial equivalent of the materials by other means”. O.C.G.A. 9-11-26, b-3 Trial Preparations, Materials.
5. Anything I know from sources are protected, Therefore anything I may have learned from Defendant relative to any future or past stories is protected as “a trade secret or other confidential research, development, or commercial information”, O.C.G.A. 9-11-26 Protective Orders.
6. I am a valid member of the press, with proper press identification and certification through the Rome City Police Department, and through the Rome City Business License, and as such, I am entitled to the protections of the Georgia Shield Law, O.C.G.A. 24-9-30, Persons, companies, or other entities engaged in gathering or dissemination of news:
O.C.G.A 24-9-30 Persons, companies, or other entities engaged in gathering or dissemination of news:
Any person, company, or other entity engaged in the gathering and dissemination of
news for the public through a newspaper, book, magazine, or radio or television
broadcast shall have a qualified privilege against disclosure of any information,
document, or item obtained or prepared in the gathering or dissemination of news in any
proceeding where the one asserting the privilege is not a party, unless it is shown that this
privilege has been waived or that what is sought:
(1) Is material and relevant;
(2) Cannot be reasonably obtained by alternative means; and
(3) Is necessary to the proper preparation or presentation of the case of a party seeking
the information, document, or item
8. And of course, in violation of Georgia Shield Laws, O.C.G.A 24-9-30, Bobby Lee Cook seeks to discover the identities of my sources and at the same time know the extent to which I have uncovered illegal activities by he and his close associates, (i.e. that Judge Jerry Westbrook has violated Georgia Law, O.C.G.A. 45-11-18, when he and another individual, became surety for one Lanny Dana Harrelson on a State of Georgia, Chattooga County Bond, signing said legal document on July 21, 2006, while he was both an Officer of the Court and Juvenile Court Judge.
OOPS. They did it again.
SO, I am protected, and will not say a word tomorrow, because, it is NOT RELEVANT.
I will be bringing a body guard tomorrow, who will be a law student , soon, and who is very interested to take back to professors at UGA what outrage he has witnessed by Bad Legal Counsel. (LOL)
TW
Very good. I was going to suggest that you not attend alone. I would also be very careful coming and going. I wish you luck and I believe that you can handle yourself very well. Just don’t let him frustrate you.
Dear SE,
We are back, had lunch,& posted the story. He called me vulgar names on tape in the deposition and then called me a Bitch, in addition to the vulgar names.
TW
Take pride in being called a Bitch. That is code for NOBODYS’ DOORMAT.
Dear Room4-
I do take great pride in being called a Bitch, because as i responded to him when he e-mailed me and called me that a few weeks ago, it is generally only folks I have gotten fired, dismissed or indicted, as the result of my exposure of their crimes, who call me that.
It was the other name which was so demeaning, because of the very personal nature of the insult, but it was comical watching his face contort like that. Clearly out of control.
TW
Noone with any class would ever call someone the other name. I find that tasteless in the extreme.
I’m curious about a legal issue (and I intend to repost this, warning)…..Can an attorney file a lawsuit which he/she knows has absolutely no chance of success? I’m assuming the answer is No. (keep that in mind)
Now, let me carry this further, since the Hammitt’s attorneys have failed to serve the seven day notice required by law in order to collect punitive damages in a libel suit (I read the law myself, not going on anything this site has said), it seems to me that the Hammitts have a GREAT malpractice suit against their attorneys. According to Georgia Law they have NO chance to collect any punitive damages, because they failed to serve the defendants with the required seven day notice. NOW, they can attempt to collect actual damages, but are we to believe that the Hammitts have had 1 million dollars in actual damages? Did they lose their jobs or lose monetary contracts because of the alleged libelous statement? I don’t know, but I’ve heard no evidence of that.
An attorney’s procedural mistake, costing the client money or case status, is the definition of legal malpractice.
NOW, if the Hammitts were to sue their attorneys for malpractice it seems the attorneys’ only defense could be: “They had no chance of winning 1 million dollars in the first place.” NOW, THAT would be the capper to all of this.
Dear RomeGaSir:
I loved it the first time, and I love it even more the second time around.
Thanks!
TW…would you explain this post to me, in real simple laymans terms…
(i.e. that Judge Jerry Westbrook has violated Georgia Law, O.C.G.A. 45-11-18, when he and another individual, became surety for one Lanny Dana Harrelson on a State of Georgia, Chattooga County Bond, signing said legal document on July 21, 2006, while he was both an Officer of the Court and Juvenile Court Judge.
I went to LexisNexis and I couldn’t find it.
Thanks
I think she meant 45-11-8………I’m not sure what Judge Westbrook is being accused of, but if he just bonded out a buddy, I don’t think that would be a violation of the code section.
Thanks I found it…and I think your right…it specifically states “PERTAINS TO ENGAGING IN PROFESSIONAL BAIL BONDSMAN BUSINESS” and if it were a friend Im sure that would be a problem.
Thanks I found it…and I think your right…it specifically states “PERTAINS TO ENGAGING IN PROFESSIONAL BAIL BONDSMAN BUSINESS” and if it were a friend Im sure that would not be a problem.
Just so everyone will know…someone tried to HACK my computers..unsure if they got through on one of them, but positive they didn’t on the other….
Overwhelmed, that reminds me……A SUGGESTION FOR EVERYONE.
I doubt that anyone would have the time or ability to individually identify all of us and then hack each of our computers……..BUT, if they focused on TW’s computer or her blog account, they could retrieve all of your email addresses (that you’re using to post on this site, that’s why I suggest a ghost account), having your email account it’s possible (but difficult) to get your password for your email account…….make sure you use a different password for the email account that you use for this site, than you do for all of your other accounts that require passwords…….And change it frequently.
Dear RGS, I think that is exactly what has happened. They have hacked mine, and only mine, unless they have gotten good stuff n a regular. It did seem to be only MY repsonses to others which they were reading.
Thanks,
TW
I’ve Warned family and friends that I have been posting on a website that is drawing some attention from people that may not wish me well. Noone is suprised. I have an opinion on everything and don’t have any problem expressing it. If expressing an opinion is a punishable offense, better lock me up now. I never shut up. I wouldn’t want to disappoint my audience. I like hearing,”What have you done this time?” Most are already reading this. Wonder if they recognize anything familiar about this opinionated poster? Don’t waste time. Send TW a little something for Christmas. She is after all, fighting YOUR battle. Wouldn’t you like to know if your vote counts in the NEXT election?
Dear Room4,
Thank you so much.
Even a law enforcement individual has been breeched, illegally, and I have got to protect his identity, and this will cost money. BUt I Will PROTECT his identity. He has agreed to meet with FBI under certain conditions, to swear that he shared the e-mail with no one, but they can protect his identity as well. he knows how important it is to give them something to work with, and is willing to allow them to know who he is.
And vote, but even before that, get involved enough to suggest names of those who might run for election. UN-opposed seats are a concern in any county, any jurisdiction.
TW
Has the FBI asked to meet with this man?
Has the FBI asked to meet with Bobby Lee Cook?
TW
I didn’t pay any attention to it when it happened, but now that someone else has said something, I had four trojan attempts within a 10 minute period. The irony is that I was running a security check at the time.
Ever since the news about Dirtyboy being sued, I have upped my security checks from once a week to daily. My computer consultant has advised me, that at this point, “do not allow any access from within or out of your computer to or from the internet by any program you DO NOT RECOGNIZE!”
I share this with all of you so that no one looses yet another way to voice your opinion without fear of intimidation or prosecution.
Teresa, Thanks for your response, but I don’t understand it. My question was not intended to be argumentative. Truly, it wasn’t. Were you being rhetorical, or were you being literal? Tone and intonation don’t always translate well over the internet.
Rhetorically or literally, I couldn’t possibly know the answer either way.
Laura,
I am sorry, we have family here, and I am not keeping track of posts. We are having fun. I think you asked about if the FBI had gotten in touch with, or if they wanted to get in touch with the man, but I was not sure which man you were referrring to - so Literal.
I was literally not sure which man you were referring to. Brunch with beer and movies does this to me. Holiday Gluttony does this to me.
It just occurred to me that you may have meant the LE man. I had family plans yesterday afternoon, after the depo, so I posted the story, and then had a good time with my family, and the first chance I had to call my regular FBI contact, was about 5:30 pm, so I left him a message. I will run by 6th and 1st on Monday, and give them the Law Enforcement individual’s e-mail address, as he has instructed me to do so/allowed me to do this.
If you meant BLC, they have not asked me to talk to him, but they would not. Most of what they do I never know about, ever, ever. I just pass information along, and only as sources allow me to/ask me to, since I started this press thing in August. I have a whole lot of information which I have been asked to keep confidential, and which I think they, (feds) could benefit from, but because I am protecting my sources, until they allow me to, I am not passing.
And, of course, I have not, will not reveal any source, but especially law enforcement, unless specifically instructed to do so, as in this case, by that person. He realizes that this could affect his career, but he sees this as a necessary thing as what Bobby Lee Cook and the Cartel have done is so fatastically illegall and unethical.
If you meant the young man who accompanied me, they, the feds, know who he is, and he will accompany me to the Federal Building on Monday, in case his affidavit is not sufficient about the depostion, the vulgar name calling and the e-mail.
TW
Teresa, Thanks for responding. Perhaps I can be clearer in my question, which, yes, at this point, may sound argumentative. However, in the interest of civil discord, I offer the following:
You wrote of the LE individual: “He has agreed to meet with the FBI under certain condidions, to swear that he shared the e-mail with no one…”
This statement implies, to me, that the FBI is so interested in this case that it has requested a meeting with him/her.
My question was: “Has the FBI asked to meet with this man?”
I don’t think you have coveyed the answer.
From your statement, your readers are led to believe that the FBI is so intereseted in this case and that your sources are so very important that the Federal Bureau of Investigation has put a great deal of credence in his/her (and your own) involvement and wants to meet with him/her.
Further, I don’t think the FBI sends RSVP’s.
Dear Laura,
Sorry, then yes, the FBI is very interested in this development. Because there is already a significant case going on, and my situation is only a little, tiny part. But every way in to a larger case is good stuff. It is a serious federal offense to wire tap or interfere with any type of communication device to “eavesdrop”. E-mail are covered as well under the Federal Omnibus Statutes. Hacking in to my computer to spy on my persoanl (or business) e-mails is just as illegal as opening my United States Mail or tapping my phone.
They are VERY interested in criminal conspiracy to supress free speech and wire tap and spying.
They are VERY, VERY, VERY Interested in Criminal Conspiarcy to commit election fraud, if during that election, there was a candidate for a federal office. NOt that the fraud was related to that office, but simply that there was an election with a federal element…like say a 2006 election where someone wanted to fix the State Court Judge Election with fraudulent absentee ballots to throw the election…well, if that was done during an electioon in which, say, a US Senator or a US Congressman was being elected, then the FEDs can come in.
And, lets say that election fraud invoved fraudulent absentee ballots sent through the United States Mail…then the Feds ar every interested in that.
And say that in the course of investigating that election fraud/mail fraud, someone ends up dead, and there is a cover up, and then a reporter who starts covering all of the above, is threatened with gun fire over a federally controlled telephone, and her e-mails are compromised, and folks conspire to suppress her free speech and the free press, by bringing bogus litigation aginst her through straw clients…that is Federal Criminal Civil Rights violations…
It all plays in to the same BIG PICTURE.
So, yes, the feds are very interested in that e-mail betwen myslef and the law enforcement individual. And he is only too happy to oblige with a little chat, eventually with the Federal Grand Jury.
I was so dreading yesterday, and prayed and prayed to be delivered some way, and yet it was the single best day of evidence on so many fronts, for so many different reasons, and we could not have asked for a better outcome….We could not have planned a better outcome.
TW
THE FBI IS VERY INTERESTed. But this is justing icing on the cake they already have.
Is that clearer? Muddier?
TW
Teresa, Oops! I meant to say, “In the interest of civil discourse…” (not discord.)Yeah, beer with brunch can have its effects on us all.
LOL, Laura - I read “discourse”, because it made sense. Which side of the brain does that - fills in what is supposed to be there, and misses what really is there? I am sure there is a term for that, but I cannot think right now what that is. Something with dissimilation in it?
TW
WoW… Whenever I leave my cursor over your name…I see your earthlink address… Not sure why this happens? Anyways, any 19 year old could have figured that out.
Dear Jessica,
Thank you for pointing that out. You are right that any 19 year old would know…I am 50 and had no idea. My son told me this means WoW somehow linked when he signed up. I did not know one could do this, or why one would, or how one does. WoW, your name is blue, just like any hot link you click on, like a web address. The other posters are not. If you run your cursor over them, no e-mail address shows up.
I am usually logged in as admin, and do not see which names are linked on the actual site.
Still, it is inappropriate for any one, but especially in law enforcement, to initimidate another person, suggesting that they should not post to ANY website, on their own computer, on their own time, and then follow them aorund a store. THAT IS Harrassment.
Thank you for pointing that out Jessica. I learned something new. This world of computers, to someone from the last generation to use slide rules in high school physics, is an amazing thing.
TW
hey!!!!!!! chattooga county law enforcement….where are you? How about posting on here, at least just saying “I’d love to post what I know, but I’m scared”………that way, when the hammer comes down, you can point to your post and convince the FBI that you did “all you can do”…………..problem is, they have the lowest pay in North Georgia, so they are getting what they pay for, don’t expect too much from them.
Dear RGS,
There is a Very Brave someone who hides well their identity, from LE in CC. UNfortunately, I am sure they have been compromised, as has been another of my posters. They have much to say.
TW
Hello Im some one that in my younger days got into alot of trouble that means i spent alot time around the court house and have seen a couple of things and know of alot more but with my record im nothing but i have changed my ways have not been in trouble for years but im watching now as those who judged me are I HOPE going to be judged its long over dew at first i told my wife this will all come to an end and it will be hush hush but this i think is one time i will enjoy saying i was wrong once again I HOPE and as far as sueing me well get in line lol im not real educated like yall cant tell lol and by the way if romegasir is refering to the dunagan that i know well he was not rail roaded hes where he belongs he caused the death of an unborn child and permanent and sever injurys to its mother his family paid him out of trouble time and time again if not for that he mite have got help for his drug and alchol problems and another family would not have lost ther loved ones well I HOPE to see a real house cleaning in our area not just chattoga since i have been clean and sober i have seen the errors of my ways but when i was active in all those things i liked the good ole boy folks at the court house if you saw my rap sheet you would think how in the world has this man not spent prison time well you got to get the right lawyer that knows where to spread the money around well i have said enough thanks and keep pushing on
I post on this site to voice my opinion. I let TW know what line of work I’m in. At this time I don’t think my identity has been compromised as I have tried to protect it well. Some things that have been posted could make some think they know my identity. However I will continue to post and make known the things I know. When the time is right, all information will be exposed. I think it is great that everyday more and more people are posting their opinions or their experiences with this corrupt system. The more people post the more attention this gets. The powers that be are very scared. Very Scared!
That’s a good thing because when you’re scared you tend to make mistakes, sometimes very big mistakes.
Keep posting and supporting TW. She is helping us all.
Dear SE -
Thank you, you must know how grateful I am to you.
TW
My comment is to support this individual for not being scared to voice her opinion our judical system in chattooga county is a joke it aint who you are its who know or who you screw they need to get rid off all the judges and da’s with exception of judge sam finister get someone that dont know anyone here so that the sentencing is fair to all not just the ones that nark on folks or get the drugs for some of our so called judical court rulers
I guess the email address he hotlinked is because he put it in the website box when he commented like I did this time. I used this sites address in the website box.
All you have to do is clear the address or name or whatever is in the website field of the comment box at the bottom.
Dear Fae,
Thank you so much.
TW
OK TW, they are doing news stories on you being forced to appear in court on Friday…..what’s going on?
Dear RomeGaSir - and everyone,
I have been chrustmasiing with my family today. I did not know anything until this evening as we were headed to eat, that anything was going on. I checked my voicemail, (I left my phone at home), and the RomeNewsTRibune reporter had called. I have not ben served with anything, but it appears that the Sith in Chattooga County faxed something to the RNT.
Then, when i got home, someone called the house and said that he had heard the Transcrit was up. I was so hoping that it woudl not go up, as i hate that name he called me…I have just posted an op-ed about it under whine abd opine.
My son and I went to the FBI, today, and got instructions on what to do so that they can move forward with the illegally intercepted e-mail. We have initiated that process.
Also, early this morning, before everyone was up and ready to head out the door, I prepared bar complaints aginst Bobby Lee Cook and Judicial Qualifications complaint against Jerry Westbrook. BUt the day got away from us, and I did not have time to mail them, which is a good thing. Now that the RNT posted the transcript, even before Mayor Jones’ attorney got his copy, I have printed it off, and will attache it as another Exhibit on the complaint to the Bar about Bobby Lee.
So, it has been a good fa,ily day, and seven a good FBI contact day, we got all the affidavits signed that we needed to, and most of my Chrustmas shopping done…we are not big senders, ever, in my family, becaus ecHristams is a Holy time, and a family time.
So, that is where we stand. We will be in Atlanta tomorrow, and if someone wants to serve me with some action, they can do it at Hartsfield tomorrow afternoon, as we will picking up a guest coming in at 3:45 pm.
TW
bobby lee cook said, according to RNT article “And I intend to put a stop to it. She stated to the local paper that she wants to go to jail, and I can help her with that.”
Since when does he HELP people go to jail? He has spent his entire life helping people stay out of jail, such as the men who embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from Mohawk, and now he believes that TW needs to be in jail AND that he can help put her there?
TW, take my advice, use whatever money you have to hire a decent lawyer before you go to Chattooga, and take some press with you.
Dear RGS,
I am copying many news outlets with the Bar complaint and the Copy of the Transcript, so they can see what a sexist pig Bobby Lee Cook is.
But I do not have the all of the money for the attorney yet.
TW
romegasir,
“And I intend to put a stop to it. She stated to the local paper that she wants to go to jail, and I can help her with that.”
It is my opinion from reading the above statement is BLC is admitting he has the ability to control who goes to jail within the LMJCC and who stays out. If that is the case how did he get this much control over this jurisdiction and how long has he had that control? I have never heard an attorney or even heard of an attorney saying such a thing. What he said is something you would hear from LE, a DA or maybe a judge. I do not think a judge would say anything like that as it would show pregidous. With this in mind do you think this could be an admission he runs those offices. Very curious as to the meaning of his statement.
No EBF, I’ve said it before………..He is a great man, worthy of our respect, who is focusing the proper amount of resources and power to rid us of the scourge Teresa Watson. I am sure that either 1) TW is lying and BLC did not call her a sexual name or Bitch OR 2) every southern gentleman calls women by those slang terms…….in fact, if I find out that he actually did call her the C and B words, if I read it in the transcript, I intend to call every woman that crosses me wrong by those names and if anything comes of it, I will call BLC as my character witness as any civil or criminal trial that comes from it.
Hey, RGS,
I am not sure where it got started that i was called the “C” word, and i am not really sure what the “C” word is. He called me “Miss Nipples”, because I have large breasts, and prominent nipple, I hate it, and have endure dit all my life.
This past spring, some woemen in my neighborhood called me this, ovr and over at a Neighborhood picnic, because they were on the opposite side of an zoning issue which would impact our community. I spoke out for something, and so a number of those old biddies apparently started calling me “Miss Nipples” and they all decided i was having an affair with developer whose side i supported…of course that I had never even met or knew the developer, i just liked his plan.
But Bobby Lee, the gentleman, did his homework, and dug that up, and to his ability to dig crap up, I tip my hat. BUt he knew it was a sensitive subject to me, because i was so humiliated at this pcinic which was attended by most ofthe City Commissioners, and probably 200 guests.
Miss Nipples is what he called me. What ever lese he could have called me would not have been nearly so embarassing, humiliating or degarding, because i have fought comments about my breats all my life, and it is very painful and degrading to have evrything about yoursef distilled in to some sexual prominence of your body.
Now ,the “GD Bitch” as I stated in my article, came after I had left the room, could not find my keys, and had to go back in a look for them. The court reporter was already packing up, so that is not on the record.
So, that is in the Bar Complaint, and I imagine they will get him on the record for that. The Court Reporter also heard it, and I turned and asked her if she was still recording, and she said shook her head, but acknowledged that she heard it as well.
TW
Romegasir,
I have always heard that any man who refers to any woman by the names BLC aledgedly used, needs to check his manhood to make sure it is in tact. I have heard of a “twelve step program” that could assist these individuals in helping them identify certain short commings of their manhood.
Do you think BLC wants to rid us of the scourge Teresa Watson or rid himself of this plague? I personally think we need more Teresa Watson and less ________________________.(you finish this sentence but the acronym a h comes to my mind)
Concerned citizen…do you know people that get the drugs “for some of our so called judical court rulers”? Ive been told by someone one…that….lets say….has been out there in the crowds of partiers…that I would be suprised at the attorneys, judges, bankers, etc that are on the drugs…they wouldn’t say who and I didn’t ask so I wouldn’t put them on the spot….but they know “people” and Im sure they know what they are talking about….
Has anyone read the Rome New Tribune site? It has a link to the trascript of TW’s deposition….If you go back to CO’s post to me on Dec 10…..he called her the same name while he was threatening me, and he also knew her attorney of choice was from Cartersville…..so RGS you were right that CO was planted and definetly taunted us for info….because he called TW the same name as BLC….and where in the world did that come from? How rude and totally uncalled for….their character really shines….
Dear OW, I think, and if you will go back and look, I think they though that you and I are the same perosn, and he was calling me the “Miss N” name. It was a name I was called earlier this year, in front of many people at a neighborhood picnic…I wrote about it on Whine & Opine just now.
BUt they had already been doing their reserach on me…of course they were setting us up, all of us, or trying to.
BUt, we shall see.
TW
I read the transcript and I am here to tell you the way BLC conducted himself has to be an embarrassment to the legal profession. Why would anyone associate themselves with this man? At one time being an attorney was a very noble profession. Times have changed as these attorneys and judges have put themselves in positions to make the judicial system their own little tool to retaliate against those that stand up to them. The judicial system is also used by these individuals as a way to acquire wealth through this malpractice. These individuals and their cronies also use the judicial system to acquire property from unsuspecting individuals. The only tool we have to hold these people accountable for hijacking our judicial system is through people like Teresa Watson who, unlike other news agencies, has the courage to bring attention to this malpractice through investigative journalism.
My opinion.
Investigative journalism is the only way to expose corruption and get the facts out to the uninformed public. It is our vote and tax money being squandered and the more information you arm youself with,the better your chances are to end this farce of a system. This is not how I want my children to think they have to go through life. Hoping they don’t say the wrong thing to the wrong person and end up in a jail somewhere. I believe that is the case in a lot of other countries, but this is the GOOD OLD USA. I don’t remember giving away ANY of my RIGHTS as an AMERICAN CITIZEN.
here here
Well, folks here’s how it goes…. you all are hiding away with your hypocrisy’s running rampant.
“Your the one who put your name on this site silly child” -OW
“We should all set up Dummy email addresses” -RGS
because I mean seriously what good is a white hood if you put your name on the back of your shirt? I keep hearing and hearing so and so said this, so and so is going to do that. It is the same rumors I have heard in this area my whole life. When I was growing up, people used to tell me these crazy conspiracy stories then also, and they always knew someone that knew someone somewhere who was gonna tell it all from atop the highest mountain, and many of my idiotic friends, much to my dismay, nodded and then everyone spent hours talking about how they hated so and so.
Well there is nothing wrong with doing that……. I guess…. untill your hairbrained rumors become “public” and you then falsely apply the guise of “credible” by claiming a connection to someone you shouldn’t. TW… we are all aware of “controversy” (that’s what big people call issues that don’t have evidence to make them concrete) in our area. Untill there is EVIDENCE your rhetoric about who is looking into what makes me VERY……. VERY sure your either stupid or peddling nonsense to the stupid.
From what I heard…. the possibility of voter fraud occurring was investigated (may still be being investigated doesn’t matter untill that investigation actually surfaces some evidence), but the votes were from people, real people, and the only controversy was that they went through unauthorized hands as absentee ballots on their way to being turned in. I, personally, have not heard of one of these absentee voters expressing outrage as to their not trusting who they gave their absentee ballot to. You will probably spout off some rhetorical nonsense about the invisible boogey-man who had to were a trench coat and meet you in a dark alley to tell you that he felt like his “absentee ballot” had been stolen. Feel free explaining that without leaving yourself open to my criticism.
Again, I am just a 26 year old Male who lives in this county. I know plenty of people and hear plenty of things but I talk for myself… just like all of you….. wait a minute….. that’s right…. you all are still hiding.
conscientious……congratulations on getting your line used in the deposition……….that’s cool. Your comment was on a website, so in my estimation, in bounds………….bobby cook’s comment was in a judicial proceeding…do you support that?
Oh by the way, if the absentee ballot goes through another’s hands, and it’s not one of the few exceptions allowed by law AND claimed on the ballot, then unfortunately, the vote itself does not count, which means that the wrong person was elected…..a drunk, nonetheless……………but we’re just talking technicalities……
And to the rest of you………..stay anonymous……..this is a ruse so that more people can be dragged into chattooga county for mock court.
bob cook called Watson “Ms. Nipples” in a judicial proceeding, do you support that?

The following is from the Secretary of States website on absentee voting.
Absentee Voting Information
——————————————————————————–
National Voter Registration Act of 1993
Congress enacted the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, 42 U.S.C. 1973gg-5(a), (b), to enhance voting opportunities for every American and to remove the vestiges of discrimination which have historically resulted in lower voter registration rates of minorities and persons with disabilities. The NVRA has brought new voices to the political process by making it easier for all Americans to exercise their fundamental right to vote.
Note: Voter registration is a county function. Georgia counties issue voter registration cards after reviewing and processing applications.
——————————————————————————–
If you have misplaced or have not received your precinct card within two to three weeks of submitting your voter registration application, please contact your local county registration office to request a new precinct card or to check the status of your application.
Absentee Voting
A voter who requests an absentee ballot by mail is not required to provide a reason why he or she is voting absentee.
You may vote by absentee ballot in person if:
You will be absent from your precinct from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on election day.
You are 75 years of age or older.
You have a physical disability which prevents you from voting in person or you are a constant caregiver of a person with a disability.
You are an election official.
You are observing a religious holiday which prevents you from voting in person.
You are required to remain on duty in your precinct for the protection of life, health, or safety of the public.
An elector may cast an absentee ballot in person at the registrar’s office during the period of Monday through Friday of the week immediately preceding the date of the election without having to provide a reason.
How do I apply for an absentee ballot?
You may request an absentee ballot as early as 180 days before an election. Absentee ballots must be received by the county board of registrars’ office by 7:00 p.m. on election day. No absentee ballots are issued on the day before or the day of an election. You may download an application for official absentee/advance ballot and mail it or fax it to your county board of registrars’ office. The application must be in writing and contain the address to which the ballot is to be mailed, sufficient information to identify you as a voter, and the election in which you wish to vote - no reason is required when requesting an absentee ballot by mail. If you are physically disabled or living temporarily outside your county of residence, a close relative may apply for an absentee ballot for you.
Applications for absentee ballots by uniformed or overseas voters (pursuant to the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act) can be accepted more than 180 days prior to a primary or election in which a federal candidate appears on the ballot as well as for any runoffs resulting therefrom including presidential preference primaries for two general elections.
May I receive assistance with my absentee ballot?
A physically disabled or illiterate voter may receive assistance from another voter in the same county or municipality or from the same category of relatives who can make an application for or deliver an absentee ballot. If the voter is outside of the county or municipality, then a notary public can provide such assistance. Any person who assists another person to vote absentee must complete an oath prescribed by law demonstrating the statutory disability and that the ballot was completed as the voter desired. Other than federal elections, no person may assist more than ten voters in a primary, election, or runoff. A candidate on the ballot, or a relative of a candidate on the ballot, may not offer assistance during the election to any voter who is not related to the candidate.
Romegasir,
Well rumor has it TW’s nickname was somehow placed as her title in court procedings here in Chatooga County. So, there were some people that only knew her as “Ms. Nipples”, and since I have placed my name on this website I have had numerous people come up to talk to me and tell me how much they enjoy reading me pointing out how hypocritical and nieve many of you posters are being, and one actually ran the story by me. The way I was told TW was named “Ms. Nipples” in a law suit she was somehow involved in. I guess it’s irony…. here she provides an open public forum where she allowes and condones people making personal jabs about people, and in a roundabout way something personal got back to her. What goes around comes around Romegasir, do you support my stance on that? Maybe it’s a little hypocritical, but still I mentioned a nickname I had heard about in passing.. many of you have drudged up things from relationships in past marriages, to sex lives, to what car a person drives. I seem to recall you chastising someone for driving a Honda Civic…… I drive a Honda Civic, and I hate that car…. please don’t make me feel worse about it.
OW,
What’s your point? Is/was there not an investigation going? What the heck more do you need a SWAT team? I agree if voter fraud did occur that is a problem… especially with all I have said since Bush’s re-election I certainly couldn’t feign disinterest in reference to voter fraud. However, I don’t think anyone was discriminated against or actually had their vote changed. I am saying, if that happened….. I need proof to believe it. Not, rhetoric….. 50 lines of regulations and how strict we are on absentee ballots does not change my opinion that there needs to be proof before I jump on a bandwagon. lol LIONS AND TIGERS AND THE SECRETARY OF STATES WEBSITE oh my!
I doubt you understand “naive” if you can’t even spell it.
Well if bob cook will admit that he disrespects women in public and plans to continue doing so, and is proud to put his disrespect on the record; and if he will admit that he supposes all women are having sex with their sons (I still wonder where this apparent belief comes from and I’m sure Dr. Phil would have something to say about it); if he does that, then I will admit that TW should tone it down if she politely calls him “shit-for-brains” in the next court hearing…..deal?
I noticed however that you asked a question of me, but didn’t answer the one I asked of you. Guess I can let out that breath I’ve been holding huh?
You obviously don’t fear the legal system in your county. So what gives? Have you been promised that you and yours are somehow protected? I wouldn’t count on it if I were you. Just my opinion. Noone has a crystal ball. Things change and sometimes SOMEBODY has to take the fall for someone else. It’s been known to happen.

There is evidence that AP’s office had these ballots, and they were run through his meter in sequencial order…I personally know someone that said he was paid by BLC to go around and distribute these ballots…Now it is my understanding of the rules that no one is to have these ballots in mass….they are to apply for the absentee ballots, individually through an application process, with enough evidence that they are applying for ones self individually, and the ONE absentee ballot is mailed to the applicants address, and returned accordingly….Is seems to me that to keep voter fruad from happening the rules are very plain and simple….THIS IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED….
The person that I know did not say BLC paid him directly, and I didn’t ask…I had no idea what he was telling me was illegal, and I really don’t think he did…but I would bet the people who provided the mass bundle of absentee ballots to this gentleman did…and he knew who had hired him even if he didn’t recieve his pay directly from him…The question now is, how did anyone get these mass amounts of absentee ballots? Who in the registras office would have given them out in mass, because they were to only be mailed out from the registra’s office to the individual who applied? So yes Lions and Tigers and Secretary of States website INDEED!!!
Or is it YOUR OPINION, that you can break the law, STATE and FEDERAL and its okay as long as “no one has been discriminated against?”
Or is all of this just everyones imagination also….sheer rumor???
FYI I have never talked about your or anyone eles’ car, sex lives, and past or former relationship…but I have read your comments down grading everyone in general on this site…when most of us are here to learn the truth…I haven’t seen anyone from the other side of the fence defending or explaining what possible scenerio could have happened, that all these ballots were in someones possession they shouldn’t have been, and how they got postmarked in AP’s office? But I am waiting and reading as so many others are…
Once again I say: If I have said anything I need to retract…let me know and I am not above admitting my mistakes…just as I have apologized to you on more that one occassion.
Dear OW- I am so glad you are in this corner!Good Logic! Good display of the facts. I cannot tell you guys how encouraging it is when I have had a long day, to see stuff like this. It will make me proud to sit in jail for the Christmas Holidays, if I have to, and God I hope I do not have to, for you guys. It makes the moments of sheer terror, cramping stomach and crying in the dark seem not so overwhelming.
TW
overwhelmed, PLEASE quit confusing the issue with facts and law, this is Chattooga County.
Okay RGA…..Im going to have to say we are one the same line of thinking on this one LOL
Does this mean we are on speaking terms again?
Room…No he doesn’t fear the legal system, his mother works for JD, so he would be in safe territory in front of the judges (in my opinion that is)
Ive just come to the conclusion that the good boys in the white hats, don’t always win….I guess time will tell….
Dear OW, RGS & Room4 -
It has been a long day, and I am away, and settled in. IT just occurred to me as I was reading this exchange with Con Object and you guys, that the reason DirtyBoy was targeted along with me was because he was one of the persons who discovered the sequential ballots, or something along those lines. Am I misguided on that fact?
NO wonder they want to destroy him. He will be a key witness in the federal case. Better to destroy him, and try to ruin his credibility now, right?
And of course, I am that GDB that keeps harping on all of various investigations.
But I must say, you guys know so much more of the inner workings, and can call the hands of those who just refuse to take off the glasses. I am enjoying the holidays for another day, before I go to jail.
Thank you so much, and Carry on!
TW
I read that there are only about 25,000 citizens residing in Chattooga County (US Census 2004). It is also alledged they are ruled by a judicial system whose members are corrupt. Why do we care how this judicial system rules their 25,000 subjects? Is it because we do not want this dictatorial way of government to spread to our country (America), or is it because we care about the well being of these citizens? Or both? I do not see many of these citizens taking a stand against their ruling powers so if these people are not going to stand up to thier own King why should we? We have enough problems getting a ligitimate government established in Afganistan and Iraq. Why should we as a country take on a job like transforming Chattooga County into a legitimate government? Apparently the citizens of Chattooga County like the way things are being run. I am sure that out of only 25,000 people probably about 15,000 have used this alledgedly corrupt judicial system to save their asses. Of course the remaining 10,000 are children or elderly which in all probability have no need for a judicial system. So basically Ms. Watson is threatening the very corrupt judicial system that has protected these citizens wrong doings for so long. Do you think that is why we are not seeing a strong level of support from these citizens? The attitude there is like one saying “if you get rid of Billy Bob and his boys and get the Federal Government snooping around why half the citizens in Chattooga County will go to jail. Especially if they go back and look at all the crap we have gotten away with so far”. Maybe we should back off and let these citizens of the little Kingdom of Chattooga County sizzile in their own juices. For the very few that are fed up with all this they could move and take their money with them and leave the rest to do as they please.
You have heard about these little countries in South America referred to as Bananna Republics? Maybe we can refer to Chattooga County as a “Billy Bob Republic”.
My opinion.
Dear EBF-
I just finished responding to this, but I think it double posted down lower.
Anyway, I would like to take this opportunity to invite all of you guys to the Chattooga County Annex on Friday. If you wait around for awhile after the hearing, for the deposition, then, you may see me arrested, maybe not - I do not have any idea what questions will be asked this time around.
TW
Hey CO, forget about the absentee votes for a minute,though IMO i would say they were not handled correctly. What are your thoughts on Bobby Lee Crooks daughter PRETENDING to be a judge over cases tried by BLC? You can’t argue with that can you? How many guilty folks have walked? How about the poor guy who’s life was taken over a land dispute? Oh I guess since the good sheriff says it was a suicide, well it must have been huh? I don’t think so! You can’t deny that there are ALOT of wrong doings going on there! The judicial and law enforcement systems are a joke and you can’t argue with that!
TW,
I posted it twice.
Alright guys, I really don’t want to go to the courthouse for fear of being identified and some folks putting my posts together with my identity and figuring out who I am both screenname and true identity, and then filing false suits in a county where I don’t live and visit as infrequently as possible, with the knowledge that their success in the suit is virtually sealed in concrete.
Is there anyone here who is planning on attending and either has a great memory or can take shorthand so that we can get an immediate report following the court appearance? Anyone wanna take up that task?
One last note, I’ve noticed that if you put Conscientious objector in his place and let him know that you don’t care who mommy or daddy are, that he shuts up until he can have his next meeting and figure out what he needs to say next………
RomeGaSir -
You always make me laugh so hard. I do believe that is pretty close to what is happening here. “Now what shoudl I say next time? What shoud I bring up? Which wool should I use this time?”….
TW
TW, just take care of yourself……and have bond ready should the judge realize how he is being used as a pawn and set the bond…..maybe he can claim over the weekend “I didn’t realize what you wanted”…………………………I understand through sources that you have medical conditions that need close monitoring and treatment, ensure you make this known during the court proceeding so that the jail can’t claim they didn’t know about it. Any mistreatment, maltreatment or lack of treatment of your condition by Chattooga jail will be a matter for federal court where “the boys” will have zero influence.
It’s my sincere hope that you are able to acquire an attorney, just someone certified to practice in federal court so that you can sue in federal court and have BLC explain his “ms nipples” to judge murphy. I can tell you that judge murphy is a jurist’s jurist and will not be happy with some doughy old man degrading a woman like that in a judicial proceeding.
Dear RGS,
I meet again with an attorney tomorrow afternoon. A friend is accompanying me.
I did not know that about the federal aspect of my medical condition. Thank you. I will be sure to let the atty know. I will be sure to speak that out in court, as well.
I have someone who has promised to be there if I get to have bond set.
Thanks,
TW
TW,
I would have documentation from your doctor on hand listing your medical condition. That way they have more than your word.
Dear SE,
I will try to squeeze that in, but I have several federal things to cover in Atlanta tomorrow, and then have to swing back for a powwow with my attorney late tomorrow afternoon, and my Mommy arrives in town for Christmas. (Mom’s always make everything all better, even when the children are fifty-something)
But, I will try.
TW
rhetoric rhetoric rhetoric. Show me facts, hey OW and RGS are you not saying that reporters don’t inflate stories and self-righteous citizens don’t have issues that they feel “need” attention? I’m not beating down what your saying with this dismissive rhetoric your throwing around RGS, and btw I’m pretty sure who you are by piecing together some of your postings already and you know my family better than I would like you to. In answer to your question earlier when I bested your oh so influential and informative buddies NO we are not on the same side.
OW,
I commend your for trying to use logic to reason with me. That is the first time I have had you people actually put something on the table that isn’t rhetoric or dismissive (you did make sure to follow it up with sharp little snipes quickly after calling me condescending but whatever). However, I see the connection you are making….. your friend RGS there should be able to tell you that this is what an officer would call a “lead”, not evidence. In a civil society we don’t break out the torches and start telling mama jokes and we definitely keep our big presumptuos mouths shut about issues that inspire as much emotion as I am sure a suicide in a family would inspire, at the very least when in the public eye. For God’s sake, how callus can you be……. YOU HAVE NO EVIDENCE!!!!! When you can produce cold hard facts that will “get something done” then get something done. I am just a 26 year old posting on the internet, but feel free to get on a high horse and fill your chest with hot air and blow hard as if you are some great insider from that Ivory Tower TW thought I resided in.
Lastly TW,
I have been very dismissive of your claims I know, but I say again only dissmissive to your speculation, which seems to be all you go on. As far as you having to deal with namecalling….. I can’t even believe that these people who spread the vicious rumors they do are even throwing those stones from their glass houses. Also, it would be real big of you were you to at the very least ask these people not fling accusations that are so personal. Jesus Christ you think a law suit and jokes about your breast make you feel bad, imagine someone who has to face a public with shadows lurking behind it stabbing their back while they are dealing with a suicide in their family. I have lost 2 very close friends to suicide and let me tell you it was tough, I beat my fists against every blunt object close to me and bit my lips till they bled while my eyes rolled out tears that wouldn’t stop. I’m gonna ask you one more time… are you and these people you are defending REALLY this type of predator? Or have you made another mistake….. listen to some of your own guidance you offered me…. and remember God will forgive you… but you have to ask for it and realize who and how you are hurting people.
RGS you just made a jab at how far apart my posts are…. but when was the last time you saw TW respond to me? I know I’m answering a question with a question again, so to answer you…. YES! I would call TW that to her face as well for the reasons in my last post. Again, I’m not gonna try to pull your hood off, because I don’t want to deny you the abilty to salvage some dignity. If you are who I think you are though, we’ve actually bumped heads once before… if I remember correctly that time you were telling me all about how the truth would be shown and I agreed that it would. In the end, justice came slower than I thought it would or you probably would have listened to a lot more dissent from me, but justice came as it has a tendency to do. Your high and mighty position has put you in a place with me and my family where you could have been burnt twice now…… but we showed you mercy, because I’m not a villian or a predator. I’m getting sick of you testing the water though.
bob cook called Watson “Ms. Nipples” in a judicial proceeding, do you support that?
that was my question…did you answer it? let me read back……nope, unless your answer is “yes, I think bobby cook did the right thing by calling a woman “Ms Nipples” in a judicial proceeding”……I’m going to assume that’s what you’re saying until you say otherwise.
The good thing about your answer for “my” side, is that it takes away any crybaby crap you have about what teresa says…..you support name-calling, period, you said it, not me.
As far as testing the waters……My toes will be knee deep in your pool until you shut me up……you think you know who I am? post it…..i’ll be honest in my response…..I’ll tell you this much to help you (why i don’t know), if you’re using your real name, i’ve never heard of you, and could care less whose secretary your momma is.
Since you’re such a nice guy, i BEG OF YOU, quit being so sweet and “out me”……tell everyone who I am…………..I’ll await your response
Dear RGS,
I am guessing that Con Object has figured out that I am not dignifying his comments anymore, because he stopped making sense a long time ago, when his posts started sounding like AAS’. I too am glad that he is a Con Object. While I have known legitimate persons who are CO’s, I suspect that Con Object believes that he is “Special”, more so than the common folks like my father who fought and shed blood for the rights of strangers.
He wrote somewhere about how “people” had told him that “Miss Nipples” was part of a law suit. It is a shame that at 26, this Con Object, who in my opinion is still a Momma’s Boy, and has not figured out for himself, (even being related to those in the legal profession), that there is a differences between a CRIMINAL WARRANT & Charges and a law suit.
When someone breaks the law, and a Criminal Warrant is taken out, and criminal charges could be brought, that is diffrent than when somone in his family decides to attempt to salvadge their smothering ego by finding straw clients naive enough to allow him to bring civil litigation without a leg to stand on, and who is willing to sacrifice the financial ruin of those clients for his own narcissistic ends.
When the two old ladies called me those names in public, and poked me over and over on the breast and arm, that was simple battery as well as criminal defamation and disorderly conduct. Before Judge Bob Couey, who was willing to charge them, I asked him to simply chastise them, which he did in NO UNCERTAIN terms, an told them that if they gave me trouble again, that all I had to do was pick up the phone, and he would re-instate the charges, and they woudl find themselves in jail.
That was enough for me. In my opinion, they were gossipy old ladies, not hardened criminals, and public censure was enough without going overboard and having them arrested…there just was not a good in between ground in a cases like that, from old biddy’s who had terroized this communtiy for so long with accusations and gossip through the years. I got many thank you notes from folks in our neighborhood.
However, when BLC called me those names, (Not asked me if I was ever called those names), but called me those name, in his rage and frstration, and in a captive situation, attempting to incite me or my son to physical response, he broke the law, just like when he drives without a Drivers License, and without even possessing a valid drivers license. If some decent police officer or State Trooper decides to bring charges, and if the police department will take my statement, and a Solicitor worth his salt will charge BLC with Criminal Defamtion and Criminal Disorderly Conduct, and Driving Without even possessing a valid drivers license, then while he might not serve any time, he could be disbarred, and there would be a celebration like in the Wizard of Oz when the house fell on the Wicked Witch of the East.
I understand why Con Object has been confused about the difference between a law suit and criminal charges in a criminal warrant, though, since no one in the protected Cartel has ever been charged with their criminal acts, until an outsider did so in both of Carlton Vines’ arrests, (2003 & 2007).
Now, another clarification for Con Object: If the Rome News Tribune, or RomeNewsByWatson.com or even the BLC Gazette prints a news story about me being called Miss “N” or about the assisted suicides, or about any other item of public interest, and especially backs those claims up with, oh, I don’t know, say GBI reports and court documents, even if they happen to get a few points wrong, (Which we all know would immediately be corrected), or tell only one half of the story , that is news, not libel, and not criminal defamation.
And when a reporter or news gatherer works with a news source, protected or not, or interviews a witness, that is not conspiracy, it is news gathering.
BUt I undertsand living in Never Never Land and the Wizard of Oz, how Con Object could think it is all the same. Once again, he has refused to take off the Rose Colored Gasses mommy & daddy gave him, and still drinks the koolaid they swirl up in new batches every morning. Why in the heck does he think the Cartel, who has illegally conspired to stifle free speech, (the minute any law suit is filed, we have defacto evdience, they and their clients will be complicit), would withdraw the law suit aganst me down in Floyd County? Because they cannot win any cases outside of the county, because they do not practice real law, according to the real laws of the State of Georgia and the United States. They make up rules, and ignore law, and use the legal system as their whore, to satisfy their craven lusts for money, power and all things perverted.

For the rest of you….how many of you post every time “oh and by the way, I’m just a simple 56 year old posting and my name is Julio Vasquez”……sounds like his/her incessant repetition of who he/she is might be a clue that it is a ruse……………
“please guys” my momma is a judge and she rules over my granddaddy’s cases…..so please feel sorry for me because my stepdaddy’s suicide is questionable because someone other than mommy and grandpappy have actually seen the evidence……how dare y’all question my grandpappy (who believes that every mother has sex with her child) and my mommy………..wait, I didnt’ mean to say that, what i mean is, how dare ya’ll question my grandpappy who likes to degrade women and my mommy who is a woman…wait….okay, let me run my next post through the gang and see if I can get it approved quickly.
RGS,
I liked you a lot better better when you a lot better when you were taking shots at Man in Black lol. I can’t believe I let you get under my skin, playing chess angry and jumpin at moves isn’t always the best method is it? I almost hate to keep you on the other side but that’s where you belong….. your not a chess player….. your an instigator… you like to rattle cages and see what comes of it. In the end, you don’t care who gets hurt or how in your pursuit of “justice” which isn’t justice. It’s almost vigilance. Remember, just because you make someone angry and get them to say something they feel like they shouldn’t you don’t win your point. I made OW angry and she compromised her morally self-righteous position by slinging mud, but I didn’t win my move by making her look like a hypocrit. I didn’t come here to attack posters, I came here to shed some light on things they obviously aren’t seeing. From the start, I have said you are all ranting and mobbing. Your hollering about injustices as if you don’t know what to do about them, and pretending that hiding in the dark and being scared is the way to stand up for what you believe in….. it’s not. How do you face someone who would die for their country with the story, well I know there are things wrong in the justice system and I told everyone…. on the internet…. without telling my name…. I try to put myself in that perspective when I deal with my politics. When I think out how I feel about a political issue, I normally discuss it online with soldiers I know. They aren’t the brightest people in the world sometimes, but you’ll never find a truer heart than a man that will die for you. I have come within inches of joining the military myself, but I chose a different path a long time ago and I still haven’t given up on it. Also, I don’t completely agree with a lot of what our country has been responsible for recently, and I fear as a soldier I would be asked to compromise my integrity and I do not want to be put in that position, BUT I have made the descision that what I believe in is worth sacrifice….. or it’s not worth believing in.
and with that I post on this website no more. TW please be decent enough to take some of this stuff off without someone having to send you a retraction letter.
ROFL, so, you are like a soldier in Iraq? gimme a freakin’ break….you are a coward.
I note also that you did not identify me….thank you so much for protecting my identity…i was so scared.
OH my. Oh my
room, lol
I’m glad our country is protected by all of the BRAVE YOUNG MEN in the military instead of “i’m just a 26 year old ‘male’(not man) posting on the internet”. My opinion is that he(co) really needs help, maybe a ward would be more fitting than a military unit. My opinion is he could be dangerous to himself or someone else.
I really need to kick my own butt for even commenting on co’s posts
I was reading the Rome News Tribune site and clicked on the court documents BLC filed…he didn’t even file these until 12/17 and placed them in the mail to TW…by law…GA CODE O.C.G.A. § 9-11-6 They are required to give 5 days notice and if mailed by US Mail (which it was) an additional 3 days are required for the delivery of the mail…so bottom line is, if TW doesn’t won’t to be in court she has every legal right not to, she can site this as the reason and that she was not given her 5-8 day notice..
I will copy and paste what this code says: Paragraph d) and e) are the ones I am making reference to.

I personally think CO should be given the Congressional Medal of Honor for “comming within inches of joining the Military”. What a brave soldier he might of, would of, could of been. The citizens of Chattooga County should think about erecting a statue of him in front of the court house for his bravery shown in “comming within inches of joining the military”. What a looser.
Woulda coulda shoulda.
@romegasir, I’m glad that you didn’t join the military. The thought of you looking over one of our brave young mens shoulder…responsible for his life…I don’t even want to think about it. Thanks for living in a small hick town and “really making something of yourself!”
[/sarcasm]
But its ok. Continue to believe everything the media tells you. They’re never wrong
personally i dont see any major corruption in this story. i grew up in chattooga county and pretty much know all the people you have named. from what i see it is a easement dispute that didnt go well for one side.
being from chattooga county and i mean no ill thoughts of mr ballinger but most people in chattooga when in need of legal representation seek someone else- thats just the truth. ive known judge connely and her late husband since 1982 and have never seen her act innappropriate in court and no matter of others opinions her father bobby lee sr didnt get his reputation by being a good ole boy he got it throughout the years trying case after case- im not saying he is mr do good i know he has had the benefit of alot of high profile cases along the way but the high profile defendants dont usually hire an attorney that doesnt have favorable results in prior trials. as for mr dennis i also remember when he was flipping burgers as one reader said and he also at that time was working as a school teacher in trion and attending law school- at times mr dennis was working 3 jobs to get thru law school- and that is something i admire.
as afr as kris not recusing herself- doesnt a jury do the guilt finding?
from what i know and have seen in chattooga courts
if you get arrested for a major driving offense or burglary- carlton vines is a good attorney, despite his recent troubles with drinking and driving himself he is a good attorney.
if you get arrested for a serious crime and can afford the services mr cook’s firm that is what you do.
this is 2007 and even as country as people may think chattoga county is- if it was that bad something would be done- it just looks like the losing side is pouting is all.
Well Preecher, that’s your opinion and I respect your RIGHT to voice it. If you have an opinion on the Lyerly case maybe you need to use caution in expressing that. You could be sapoenaed on having NO Knowledge Whatsoever. It’s been known to happen in Wonderland.
Thank you for coming forward with all your info; I know everything you have published on the web is true because more than 20 years ago I reported something to the GBI and within a week I got a phone call at work telling me if I didn’t drop it my life and my family’s would be in jeopardy.
My grandfather told his family when they were young that Chattooga County was where anyone who wanted someone killed would come to get it done and they should not become involved in anything certain persons were doing.
It is even more true today and I do not know how to protect my family; I have tried to get them to move but they have roots here and don’t want to move. What they don’t realize is in a few years there will not be anything but crime in the county unless a way can be found to end the ring of criminals who have control.
Redneck, you are an ostrich with his head in the sand if you cannot see, or you are involved with the ring. Why don’t you back off and take a deep look into your conscience and ask if you want your grandchildren to live in conditions as bad as some of the major cities of the nation.
If someone had helped me protect my family years ago, we might not be where we are today, but what I knew has been covered up and taken care of in such a way that I can’t do anything with it now. We need to get behind this lady and help her not stab her in the back the way you and BLC are doing.
Susan
Dear Susan,
I know. I have experienced this sort of corruption, but at least in Floyd County it is less that EVERYONE is involved, and more that too many people would stand by and allow things to happen, because they either did not believe what they were seeing or hearing, or, they felt helpless to do anything.
I will tell you, that from my experience, LE has been fighting the tidal wave of public corruption, in all of these counties - the majority of LE. But they can only do so much when no one will rise up and challenge those who run for office.
How many people have each of you reading this, have ever actively recruited someone for a particular office or position?
TW
I think “the Pretender” is right about the internet changing everything. I hope for the better.

here is a good write-up about the “corrupt state of georgia usa”
I am from the North and of course it seems that the war still goes on here in Georgia
I know from being an old northern family that New York did not want to get into the war for many reasons it was one big lie england and france stopped buying southern cotton which was the best on the market and was priced accordingly, but the pakastanies and india cotton was cheaper money and grade wise
the french and english went with them
I have talked with people from india and pakistan about this via my phone calls to microsoft who direct my calls there and what the india people will say is no no pakistan cotton not india and I have had the telemarketers from pakistan say no no india was india
The south was indebt to english and french from having borrowed against their cotton business and being the merchants went with outside cotton the south went belly up thanks to Yes your beloved President Jefferson Davis
You owed tons well your plantation owners and government owed large sums of money to those banks and those banks wanted their money
why do you think they burned everything your houses your furniture all owned by the banks
NY who was still irate over the fact they fought the english and french with out the help of the south!!!!!!! was not gonna get invovled being it was your own fault for trusting them
the north had slaves and treated them just as bad as the south did so it was not over slavery
The government had to sign up the people coming straight off the boats to get troops to go fight cause us NYers were not going to
My southern family came in thru savannah then ebenezer and up into purisburg they made there way north into Moravia NY
Here is a link to a real good blog about you
I knew Jon Dennis was crooked and in with that bunch…what a joke of a legal system we have and what a shame our county has to put up with it…
I can remember when this man was flipping hamburgers, and having affairs with students (all rumor of course) now he walks around town with is arrogant, better than though attitude…..like he has forgotten those humble hamburger days…this just proves what many have thought, than he is headed to take over as “king pin’ on crooks in the county…watch out BLC, Albert…he might just out do you
