The First Amendment

Wow! Where do I start? Yes, let’s start with the 1st amendment. Why did our forefathers put this one first? Because it is that important! When laying the basic foundation of our government, this is what they thought MOST important. This is my 5th post. I have outlined my opinion, my prospective, my concerns and now my rebuttal. Have I at any point, threatened, slandered or made any type of false accusation? We in America may ask any question of our public official? They represent us. King George III would have taken Thomas Jefferson’s head given the chance. What high treason have I committed? I voice my opinion and allow others to comment and for that I should fear my personal well being or life? I’ll touch more or that later.

Although I have only expressed my opinion, prospective, concerns and now rebuttal, I am advised that an investigation into my identity will lead to my physical harm. First of all, make certain you launch this investigation privately outside of sheriff’s office time and resources. Otherwise, I would strongly assert that this would not only be an abuse of power but down right illegal. Let me guide you on this issue. Secondly you want to make sure this is construed to the district’s office as a ‘criminal investigation’. After that and thirdly, contact your local cyber crime task force, sell them the oceanfront property in Arizona, and commence to laying out your paper trail. After this, do your search warrant for evidence, like you would actually find something. Fifth, get an attorney. Besides free speech, gun ownership and quartering soldiers, the other big thing on Thomas Jefferson’s mind was the 4th amendment.

You say, “Someone is going to get "hurt". (not mentally but, physically or worse) It is not a matter of "if" something happens but, "when". Let me say this. If you have a loose cannon on your hands, this is something that you should be ready to deal with. This is not a site designed to destroy or tear anyone’s life apart. This is a site where people can ‘FREELY’ register their opinions. And from what I have observed, there are a lot of opinions. Just because these opinions are different from yours doesn’t mean you dispatch your legions to squash the very law giving “We the People” a voice.

The way I see it Sheriff you have three choices. First, you can illegally call on your powers to identify me. Do you not think that I have given this some thought? Do you really want to shake this tree? I will be entitled to serve my own subpoenas, call for depositions, call witnesses and put YOU on the stand. I will guarantee most of the IP addresses are referenced FROM the sheriff’s office. This is a mighty big tree.

Second, you can follow through on your threats. However, don’t think I haven’t taken my precautions. If I get killed in a car wreck, get hit by a bus, get struck by lightning or slip on a banana peel, be ready for the full onslaught of investigators.

Or, lastly, you can sit behind your desk, meet with your administration on what should be done next, in the end do nothing, and let freedom of speech be shouted in its 235th year.

Overcrowding in the NEW Jail

It amazes me that after years of planning and careful consideration on our new sheriff’s office and jail complex that we are still not completed. Not only are we not completed, the old jail and NEW annex jail are completely overcrowded. How is it that there is so much overcrowding in the Cabarrus County Jail’s?

A few days ago a lady sent me a facebook message in reference to her son. She explained how he had been jailed (for the first time) and was overwhelmed by the conditions that he found himself in. He was given a mat and told to sleep on the floor. The cell was so overcrowded that he literally had to step over people to make his way to the toilet and shower. He asked if he could get a bed and was told that the jail was over populated. After telling his mother she attempted to contact Sheriff Riley to register her concern. As of the time of the writing, Sheriff Riley never contacted her back. She was not disputing the reason why her son was in jail. No doubt many will say he shouldn’t have been there to begin with. But as a tax payer, a mother, a citizen, she asks...”Why are the conditions in the Cabarrus County Jail’s so bad?”

After all this money spent, why is there overcrowding? Why after all this planning is the new jail still ill equipped in housing inmates? Isn’t this the reason the FBI strongly suggested that the county build new state of the art jails to begin with? And why isn’t the main complex completed? Why is there a delay on the inspection? Why does the sheriff not return phone calls to caring mothers?

Actually, I have a great explanation for all these questions, which I will be happy to reveal very soon. In the meanwhile, anyone reading this post that has concerns they would like addressed, feel free to do as the mother of the jailed son. Send a facebook message to Sharon Wentworth. After verification that the complaint is real, we may just ask for the answers.
