THE FACE OF A TRUE DEADBEAT: ARKANSAS' PAT FLANAGIN

Meet Pat Flanagin, deadbeat dad (pictured above) of Mrs. Searcher, and former Arkansas State Representative. This is the guy that spawned Chris Flanagin. This is also the guy that kicked his oldest son to the curb, (yes he has children by different women, which makes him, among other things, a total fucking hypocrite) sent his namesake, Jr., into exile, and abandoned his only daughter, all while defending, supporting, aiding and abetting his violent criminal son, pictured below daddy.

More on this dink as time goes by, believe me, there's plenty.
BTW, what's with the moustache?

NEWLY OBTAINED DOCUMENTS REVEAL "DEADBEAT DAD(S)" IN ARKANSAS STATE LEGISLATURE

Searcher has obtained docs from a Circuit Clerk in the great State of Arkansas that will reveal child support payment issues (that is, lack of payment) while the Legislator in question was holding office.

Where are you Jonesboro Sun? Have you been burying more information about your elected officials at their behest?

I'll let you know more as I pore over the documents, and I will, of course, post them on the website.

Peace-

ON HATE AND GENERATIONAL RACISM

*Click on The pics for a near life size version of Chris Flanagin*

I've been trying to post this one for several days, since the psycho shot up the Holocaust Museum in D.C. The original post had started out discussing the man that was killed at the museum Stephen T. Johns.

The act by the white hater James von Brunn (not pictured, the story about the ridiculous person in the mug shot follows) that took the life of Stephen Tyron Johns at the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C. disturbs me on several levels. And it touches me on a personal level.



I lived in Arkansas for years as you know by now. While in Arkansas I witnessed cross burnings; I walked by a half dozen police cars, a fire truck and a smoldering cross on the front lawn of one of the two black families in Pocahontas on my way to work one morning at Ramon’s Grocery Store. Coming from Chicago, I was horrified at the behavior and stupidity and the overall dumbfuckery I witnessed while living in the “Gem” (you silly Roy Ockert!) that is Arkansas.


I was in a brief relationship with someone once upon a time; her dad liked to go by the nickname “Skip.” I guess he didn’t like “Jerry”. He was extraordinarily racist, he never referred to African Americans as Blacks or African Americans, it was always “niggers.” He was a retired manager from a factory in Flint MI. I remember him saying, as my sons played on his kitchen floor “Oh sure, when I was at the plant you could get a nigger by himself and he’s alright to talk to, but you get a bunch of ‘em together, and it’s “mothafucka this and mothafucka that… they’re all a bunch of goddamn monkeys.”

He loved to tell a joke that went something like this: “So, Abraham Lincoln woke up Monday morning after being on a weekend drunk and said, ‘I did what?!?’” The punch line being if Lincoln hadn’t been wasted all weekend he would have never freed the slaves.


Not so funny. He was one of those that liked to fight also, and we almost came to blows on at least one occasion when I dared to speak against “Rednecks” because as he informed me one blisteringly hot Arkansas summer afternoon, “when you talk about rednecks you’re talking about me.” It is little wonder why I rejected him as well as his rhetoric.


Let me move on to another racist, this one not afraid to use violence. Unlike Skip, (who liked to intimidate his sons in law, but tried not to get into too many scrapes with them,) this one has proven more than once his propensity for violence.

He is around 30; his date of birth is on his mug shot at the top of the post. (I'll try to configure it bigger) This is why I believe this is not going away; the old racists’ virus of hate has infected another generation, and so on. I believe we will see more violence from the right, and when I refer to the right, I do not necessarily refer to someone that would vote for Sarah Palin, or even the type that runs around skinhead-like shouting pro-white power slogans.

The family of this particular violent racist is one that traditionally votes Democrat, in fact, his deadbeat father served 11 terms in the Arkansas legislature as a Democrat. A Conservadem, little more than a center-left republican.

Pictured below is Samuel C. Flanagin, of Eureka Springs, AR. (formerly Forrest City, AR) He broke into my home with an accomplice, Michael Clark of Forrest City and violently attacked my sleeping wife and me on August 26, 2000:

It was a bloody scene, blood was splattered on the wall behind my bed, it had sprayed on the carpeting, it ran down my chest, my stomach, and my legs.

I remember Flanagin screaming "You Motherfucker! You Motherfucker! You motherfucker!" as he hit me in the face and head and body (I had deep bruising that lasted for weeks) with an oak stick as thick and long as a man's forearm. Then he was on top of me, stomping on my head, screaming insanely. Blood was flying. His sandal left a black scrape mark on the wall three feet up behind my bed.

My brand-new wedding ring lovingly inscribed with Philippians 2:2, "...we be of one mind and purpose," was smashed flat on my finger; it took a pair of plyers to get it off. Clark stood behind Chris, laughing.

Mrs. was screaming at the top of her lungs at them, she was covering herself with the sheet sitting up; neither of us had clothes on. It was a hot late summer Arkansas night; we were newlyweds.

I'm going to stop the narrative there, but I'll add quickly: I called the police from the apartment manager's office, and took pictures, I was out of my mind with what had just transpired, but I managed to call Chris' sorry ass (I'm a whole lot tougher than him) and I remember screaming at him to bring his ass back and stand up like a man and not be a coward. He had a chance earlier in the year, in February, in front of his momma's house, but he truly is a coward.

I remember him screaming and cackling insanely, and screeching, "I really dented your mother fucking head! I really dented your motherfucking head!"
I also remember thinking "This is the voice of someone truly psychotic."

I called the police, and they picked us up, and we rode with them to Mrs'. mother's house where they were hiding with the lights turned off. They had hidden Clark's truck out back. Paul Turney of the Jonesboro P.D. as well as his Lieutenant arrested Chris and Clark, and they were charged with several felonies between them. I'll write about it more later, there's plenty.

Since that time, he has stolen property from Mrs. Searcher, threatened to have me arrested if we came to Arkansas to attend Mrs. Searchers mother’s funeral, and this unrepentant, violent criminal that goes to church and claims to be a Christian has referred to me in an email to his sister as a “nigger.” This is common for Chris. He is a classless racist, a violent, intellectually retarded narcissist, and an utter waste of carbon, water, and trace elements. The following is the excerpt from the actual email:

Everyone's always picking on poor nigger Mike, boo hoo. Your detachment from reality is amusing but sad.












Words don’t mean much, especially from an individual such as Flanagin. He does not display a tenable grasp on the English language. (BTW, he works for Thurman and Bishop; a law firm in Eureka Springs, AR, the link is included.)

But the history of violence and the ease in which it appears to come to him, his desire to lash out at people that disagree with him, those that he fears, and those that he recognizes are his intellectual and moral superiors, is very troubling. Resorting to bloody violence (Chris was facing almost 20 years in prison for his actions) his use of racial epithets, against those who oppose his idiocy is a massive red flag-to thinking people.

He has also justified his actions in the past using the fact that I have children from a previous marriage as cause. See? Truly psychotic.

Mrs. Searcher has related to me that on numerous occasions as she grew up in the town of Forrest City, she was forced to flee from her home, (on more than one occasion jumping out of her second floor bedroom window) and run for safety to the neighbors because Chris was on a rampage, looking for blood, trying to rip her bedroom door off, again.

I believe classmates of Chris Flanagin could say the same. Any of them out there? From UALR School of Law? Uof A Fayetteville? Forrest City High School?

His deadbeat father Patrick H. Flanagin was close buddies with Coolidge Conley, the Sheriff of St. Francis County, AR, that approved of the assault and maiming of an individual; Conley displayed his testicles in a jar on his desk. (Make no mistake the accused criminal was a complete shit, but his assault and maiming happened to him while he was accused, not tried and convicted. And if the person was convicted of the crime, the county Sheriff cutting his balls off is still fucking illegal.)

Getting back to Chris, his actions are of course, his perverted way of trying to “equalize” the difference between people like him and people like Mrs. Searcher and me. Oh-as I mentioned before he also has in his possession a chair and ottoman that he swindled from his sister, it was lovingly recovered in leather for her by her Mother shortly before she passed away, and he fucking stole it from her…See? A true shithead. Where does it stop?

His older brother, Pat “Hank” Flanagin, Jr., attacked his step brother violently while he was in the shower. Hank actually went so far as to write in an email to Mrs. Searcher “I hope [your son, name withheld] gets hit by the bus.”

Former Arkansas State Representative Pat Flanagin has also threatened me with violence on several occasions, in person, on the phone, and in emails.

He offered me a car and "several thousand dollars" if I would drop the charges against Chris. Of course, I made it clear he could cram his money and the car up his ass. And bless his heart, I would twist his old, watermelon sized liver, droopy ass laden self into a pretzel like The Zohan

*Update* I've had to remove part of the post due to font issues. I'm not sure if it's Blogger or what, there is a scheduled outage tonight, so maybe that has something to do wth it. I'll finish the post tomorrow after it is back up.

I also have documents on the way that will help with equality issues with the Office of Child Support Enforcement...Peace

VIGILANTE JUSTICE IN PHILADELPHIA

An 11 year old girl was brutally raped in Philly and the police distributed a photo of a "person of interest" to the girls neighbors asking for help in locating the person of interest, Jose Carrasquillo. The police put a $10,000 bounty on his head. The Field Negro breaks it down much more in depth.
So when Jose came walking down the street, a mob jumped his ass and beat him nearly to death. This is a problem.

The problem lies with several things, not the least of which is as follows:

Distributing photos of an individual that is a "person of interest," not a suspect, to people in the neighborhood where the crime occurred. Offering money to be paid immediately on the delivery of the "person of interest." I see the reasoning behind the distribution of pix, but I question the wisdom of the other. Read the article here, it's fucking nuts.

Mob mentality. I abhor anyone that commits violent crime against innocents be they children or adults. My wife and I are victims of violent crime, and I abhor that type of behavior. However, in the United States we have a system of laws that is meant to protect both the victim as well as the accused. Keep in mind Jose Carrasquillo had not been charged with the rape, he had not been tried for the rape, and he had not been convicted of the rape. This is what fucking pisses me off about mob mentality. Who the fuck are these people to attack an individual who could possibly be in the wrong place at the wrong time? This type of shit smacks of the type of mob mentality that took the life of young Emmit Till.


You remember Emmit Till, don't you? He was the 14 year old Black kid that whistled at a white woman in the Jim Crow South. They beat the child to death and gouged his eyes out. His body when recovered was displayed in an open casket at the demands of his mother so the entire world could see what these motherfuckers did to her baby.

Maybe Jose Carrasquillo did rape this little girl. If he did, hang the son of a bitch from the highest tree, AFTER a fair trial, fair conviction, and sentencing.

This also reminds me of an incident in Arkansas when another accused rapist was assaulted and castrated by local officials and the scumbag sheriff, who happened to be a friend of Mrs. Searchers father, (this asshole sheriff used to have drinks with him and kick it at their house for cookouts, etc.) displayed this guy's nuts in a jar on his desk. Sheriff Coolidge Conley of St. Francis county ended up dying in prison. A fitting end to a real piece of shit. Would that fate could occur to Mrs. Searcher's father as well.

This also reminds me of an incident that occurred on August 26, 2000, when Mrs. Searcher's brother broke into our home at 1:50 am and attempted to murder me. (Good job not running the story you fuckmooks at the Jonesboro Sun in Jonesboro, AR. Your paper aided and abetted in the promotion violent crime, and you hold at least some of the responsibility for the absolute abortion of justice in the case of The State of Arkansas v. Samuel C. Flanagin.)

I am against vigilante justice. However, in the case of the Flanagin's from Forrest City, AR, (all of them), I just may be a hypocrite. Or maybe not. It's okay, I subscribe to neither their warped version of christianity nor their insane view of reality.

Peace, Searchers

CHURCH FOLK FAVOR TORTURE: SURVEY

As always, I'm perusing the news and along came this little gem. Apparently church folk, white evangelical protestants in particular, think torture is justified. Evidently someone failed to give them the memo about the "Christ" in "Christian."

The church in the United States is so far from what the teachings of Jesus lay out...who in their right mind would want to be involved in such nonsense? Here is a link to the article and some excerpts:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The more often Americans go to church, the more likely they are to support the torture of suspected terrorists, according to a new survey.

More than half of people who attend services at least once a week -- 54 percent -- said the use of torture against suspected terrorists is "often" or "sometimes" justified. Only 42 percent of people who "seldom or never" go to services agreed, according to the analysis released Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

White evangelical Protestants were the religious group most likely to say torture is often or sometimes justified -- more than six in 10 supported it. People unaffiliated with any religious organization were least likely to back it. Only four in 10 of them did.

The religious group most likely to say torture is never justified was Protestant denominations -- such as Episcopalians, Lutherans and Presbyterians -- categorized as "mainline" Protestants, in contrast to evangelicals. Just over three in 10 of them said torture is never justified. A quarter of the religiously unaffiliated said the same, compared with two in 10 white non-Hispanic Catholics and one in eight evangelicals.

The first sentence of the article is very telling. "Suspected" is a key word. To pass judgement on someone that is merely a suspect and torture the person is not only unconstitutional, it is un-american and anti-christ. Jesus would never have condoned the torture of people, and in this self-proclaimed "Christian Nation" we ought to know better, and we ought to do better. I used to think others hated America because of our "freedom." I swallowed that bullshit hook, line, and sinker. I know now America is hated around the world because of American policies...

Can someone please stand up and tell me why I should take this bunch of wackos seriously? I remember back in church, preaching and talking against denominations like Lutheran, Presbyterian, Catholic...the church I was involved with was white protestant evangelical. Enlightenment is such a good thing...

Peace, Searchers.

WASILLA HILLBILLIES AT IT AGAIN; THIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE SECOND FAMILY?

While downing a protein shake this morning and working on my abs, I came across the article below. I'm glad this made the news. It is nice to see that some news gathering organizations cannot be strong armed into burying stories about prominent politicians family members that violate the law and people's civil rights...learn from this, Jonesboro Sun.


Palin sister-in-law accused of breaking into home
By RACHEL D'ORO – 1 day ago
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Police say Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's sister-in-law is accused of breaking into the same home twice to steal money.
Deputy Wasilla Police Chief Greg Wood says 35-year-old Diana Palin was arrested Thursday after she was confronted by the homeowner in the governor's hometown of Wasilla. She faces two counts of felony burglary and misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass and theft.
Wood says tire tracks and shoe prints tied Palin to another break-in Tuesday in which $400 was taken. Police have not tied Palin to another burglary at the home last week.
Governor spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton says Palin is the half sister of the governor's husband and the family has no comment.
Diana Palin's husband says his wife has a court-appointed attorney.

Sarah Palin and her extended family could have been the Second Family of the United States, if the Right Wing would have prevailed in the past election. This again shows the complete lack of intelligence and integrity of the right, especially the Christian Right.
Tying an individual like Diana Palin to the Governor and linking the two would seem unfair to some as Diana Palin is 35 (and should know better) and responsible for her own behavior. Sarah Palin can't control what her husband's sister does.

I agree with part of that, Palin can't control what her sister in law does any more than she can control what her daughters do (apparently.)

But let me put this idea out there to chew on: After watching Sarah Palin in the campaign season, and seeing the lack of intellectual curiosity, learning her brand of Christianity (and recognizing it for what it is) and the bumbling way she, as well as her staff and family conducted themselves during the campaign, the lies from Palin, with the bible in her hand and scripture in her mouth (next to the bullshit) I believe, after thoughtful consideration, that this is how they conduct themselves as a family.

Allow me to elaborate: This is just how they do things. It is not abnormal behavior for any of them. This is just how they, and others like them, conduct themselves in their day to day walk of life. They lie, they cheat, they rob, they steal, they harm, and on Sunday they go to Church. They blame almost everyone else for their misfortunes and use religion to justify bad behavior, invoking God and vowing to pray for you while they are calling you a nigger, or trying to break into your home to kill you, or wishing harm on your child, good stuff like, "I hope your kid gets hit by a bus."

Heard that last little gem before, actually that was in an email from my son's Uncle, Mrs. Searcher's brother. (Actually, I have experienced all of the above.) Real classy relatives Mrs. Searcher has. Mrs. Searcher embodies class, intelligence, beauty and smarts. There is no way in hell she is the product of her mother and the person that gave her her maiden name. That is not meant to disrespect her mother, may she rest in peace. It does, however, reflect her good judgement. I will forever maintain that as truth.

Back to Plain and her Alaska (arkansas) family:

These aren't your run of the mill trailer park rednecks; these are rednecks with money and real power in the state in which they live.
This combination is especially dangerous because with money and influence real damage can be done to people's lives, often with little or no consequence. There are some common threads running through these types people and their families:

1. Parent or sibling is in an elected position, or one of influence in business.

2. Family has established ties, generational in the area.
-Family attends prominent church in town, one or more teaches Sunday school or is a deacon, etc. Highly likely that one or more are involved in extra-marital affairs.

3. History of legal issues, not necessarily prosecutions or charges, but a history of lawlessness, and an inherent belief of being above the law. I have noticed this especially with children of elected officials, especially ones that have been in office for an extended period of time. Oh, say 22 years or so...I also think that this is mostly learned by watching the parent/sibling fuck around and manipulate the law and people.

4. History of legal issues covered up, not reported, paid off, etc.

5. As a result of little or no consequence, lawlessness escalates until behavior is
so out of control it cannot be ignored any longer, unfortunately, this is often
after a violent crime such as assault that is severe enough to be reported, burglary, rape, murder, etc. I

It will be good for this epitome-of-dysfunction of a family that some of these "events" that they get involved in are published across the country. That it may help out future generations of Palins is my hope, but as for the over 18 branch of the Palin's, at least the majority of them, there is no hope.

Work to ensure Palin stays in Alaska, and continue to shine light on the right, especially the christians.

Onward!

PRESDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID AND I THINK IT'S FITTING

I ran across this Lincoln quote and I thought it was fitting for our times, although Lincoln said it 150 years ago or so. It's hard to believe Lincoln was a Republican, he must be spinning in his grave at the current Rethug Party-

"Corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow."
Does this sound familiar? This is what privatization of everything gets us...Lincoln was pretty smart, and I'll bet if he was alive today, he would be a left Democrat.

"CONSERVATISM IS A EUPHEMISM FOR SOCIAL COWARDICE"

A great quote I picked up from somewhere, (shout out somewhere!) that I keep in my wallet. It is a lesson that was hard for me to learn, but I have learned it. Such is the shift from right to left for me. So bear that in mind Roy Ockert, jonesboro sun editor, when you tell someone like me that the poor in your region are just shit out of luck if they can't afford a generator, or shelter, or food, or heating oil. This is why I find it so troubling that you are an editor of a paper, especially one that is circulated in an area so consumed with poverty and despair.

For someone in your position, one who is charged with the dissemination of information, to have the glaring reality of the past eight years to look at as well as the downward spiral the nation has been on for 30 years, and not be able to see it but cling to your dead beliefs is very troubling indeed. You should be removed.

And Brian Smith, Night Editor (I got it now, for when I rip you to shreds next time!) at the Jonesboro Sun, I caught up with your comments earlier in the week. Please check it out this weekend regarding Mayberry, the South, and the "Gem" (what kind, cubic zirconia?) Arkansas is.

Onward!

THIS IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WITH YOUR TAX DOLLARS COURTESY OF DAILY SHOW VIA YOU TUBE

Onward.

"YOUR IDEAS ARE OLD AND THEY HAVE FAILED"

President Barack Obama's stern speech to the Republicans. And listen up Repubs, your ideas are old, they are outdated. I cannot find the vid on youtube, let me post it off of MSNBC.

This is from Rachel Maddow's show, I have posted on her before, she uses an analogy that Roy Ockert should pay attention too: She compares the policies of Ronald Reagan, (whom I have previously firmly supported,) Bush 1, (supported,) George W. Bush, (supported) conservatives, (supported,) the current nightmare that is the Republican party, to soup lines from the Depression (not supported.) Given their historical and global suffering their policies have caused, it is fitting.

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

This is why the personal beliefs of someone that is an editor at the Jonesboro Sun is so important. This is why I am going to take time out of my busy weekend to address the issues from Northeast Arkansas that have presented themselves to me. I will be addressing the State of Arkansas, Roy Ockert, EDITOR, David Mosesso, Publisher, Brian Smith, editor? from the Jonesboro Sun, Andy Griffith, Mayberry, and more. Should be good...

Peace and love, Searchers, but feet to fire...

Onward.

Other tags that I could not include "Lindsey" Graham, S.C. Suckass, Dumbass.
Dipshit from Georgia? Oh, any Republican politican.
Senator Mark Pryor, Arkansas? Enough said. Watch the next post...

JONESBORO YOU MAKE IT HARD FOR ME!

I spoke with the Jonesboro Sun a couple of minutes ago, I thanked them for connecting me with JR Rogers, State Rep...Been trying to contact KAIT to thank them, yet I keep getting hung up on....So if you're paying attention KAIT, pick up your phone! Stop disrespecting the people! I want to thank you!

"MY NAME IS TIM INGRAM AND I WILL RETURN YOUR CALL WITHIN SIX HOURS.

I know there are serious situations on the ground in northeast Arkansas. I am only looking for information...thanks, Tim, for your insight and information.

KAIT JONESBORO-"WE HAVE THE PROPER PHONE NUMBERS, WE JUST WON'T GIVE THEM TO YOU"

This is a problem. There is no accountability from the press or elected officials in Northeast Arkansas. Big surprise.

"GOING TO ASH FLAT TO GET CHAIN SAWS TO CLEAN UP THE HOUSE"

Quote from an individual on the ground in NEA. Northeast Arkansas. I find it especially troubling that Roy Ockert, Editor of the Jonesboro Sun, thinks it is okay for people not to expect help and services outside of police and fire. It is this kind of mindset that allows such stupidity to continue. Yes, Roy, you have an "I got mine" attitude.

ON THE PHONE WITH JONESBORO SUN, SPOKE WITH MIKE WILKEY. STILL NO PERTINENT INFORMATION.

I do believe some at the Jonesboro Sun are trying to help. What is completely outrageous is the lack of information available to the general public. These folks think they are doing me favor by even speaking to me. So, my next step in finding JR Rogers is KAIT, the local television station. Rest well Sun, I will give you a rest for a minute...Peace and much love! DON'T GET COMPLACENT, THOUGH, YOU HAVE NOT EXITED THE FIRE!

ARKANSAS EXPOSED! AND THEY ARE SCARED SHITLESS!

One of the things I love about blogging is the fact that I can use foul language. Language "that'd git mee sent strait ta hell (pronouced hayell) if'n I puts it on the newsypapery thingy. Ya Know, tha thingy I's wipes my ass wit? I's don'ts reads it cause I been to publik skool!!:

Real funny, huh? But here is reality of the situation: The Jonesboro Sun is worthy of only being on your roll in the bathroom. Let me break it down: The Jonesboro Sun is good only for toilet paper. Make sure you are using Roy Ockert's byline when you wipe.

Yeah, it is not funny being robbed of education and respect, are you listening Roy Roy? You and your cohorts like to keep people down don't you? These Republicans are all alike. It's a damn shame that they are in control of the papers and television in Jonesboro.

It is not surprising that people are terrified of their police and government officials, you are not doing anything to check them, thereby you are guilty of promoting terror in Arkansas, terror that is state sponsored.

Whew! *Deep Breath* I am very passionate about the situation in Arkansas. This is why it is so disconcerting (another big word!) to me that people like Roy Ockert have control over media.

Thank God, yes God, for bloggers, (they brought down the McCain/Palin ticket, Mike Beebe! are you listening Racist Belt?) because we report the real info, which explains why the print media is so pissed, and why their sales are so poor...Doesn't feel good does it Roy Roy? Let your buddy J.R. know that I am breathing down his neck, and I am confident you can feel warmth on your neck as well, Roy.

BIG COMMENT FROM AN EDITOR AT THE JONESBORO SUN

Thanks Brian for commenting. I will address your comments in another post. Just wanted to give you a shout out, to ackowledge you. Peace!
Mike

"I DO NOT OWE YOU THAT INFORMATION LEGALLY"- JONESBORO SUN

I guess the Jonesboro Sun can hide behind the provincial thinking of Northeast Arkansas, thereby stalling the way to progress. What else do you expect from the Andy Griffith simpleton Roy Ockert? It is not surprising that Roy does not think it is a social responsibility to ensure folks are taken care of. He has a clear "I got mine" attitude.

What is troubling is the fact that he works for the Jonesboro Sun, the paper of record for Northeast Arkansas. Reform must come to Arkansas, but it is people like roy ockert that prevent real change from happening.

I'm calling again...Oh! got hung up on again!

NOT ACCEPTABLE, ROY OCKERT!

Roy Ockert, Editor at the Jonesboro Sun, told me early today, "It could be six weeks, in spots, but the officials have no obligation to see to it the people have power, that is up to the power companies. and the people to have generators and food to provide for themselves."

Huh? Who is this? A Republican congressman that has no respect for the poor? No, it is Roy Ockert, He Of The Hang Up, that made this unfortunate remark.

One serious issue with "Ole Roy", he is in charge of information disseminated to the public, a position he clearly does not belong in.

Roy Ocker is an Editor at the Jonesboro Sun.

IF I COULD POST SOUND, YOU WOULD HEAR THE JONESBORO SUN HANGING UP ON ME

I am not an individual that thrives upon the humiliation of an organization, but the Jonesboro Sun is a whole different story.
