About Me

I used to be a UNIX systems admin, but got tired of the corporate games. Now I work for myself. I'm still good with the computers, though (grin).

Outcomes

Nifong is disbarred, fired and jailed for one day. Not enough. He should have everything he owns taken away and given to his victims. Leave his family destitute. Make it hurt. This is the only way to discourage this type of behavior by arrogant public officials. Knowing the likely outcome if they are caught is to have their family suffer as much as them will keep them honest.

Durham, North Carolina is likely to be slapped with a huge liability judgment for the actions of Nifong, the police department, and the city government. The citizens will pay. They need to learn that the vote comes with responsibility. That responsibility is to choose with care who runs things. Their actions will cost you money if you do not.

Ken Jenne is no longer Sheriff in Broward County, Florida. He is to plead guilty to mail fraud and tax evasion charges, in order to avoid more serious charges (money laundering). He, too, needs to have the punishment hurt till he screams. Does anyone think that he was able to faithfully perform the duties of the office of sheriff and protect the citizens WHILE BEING A CRIMINAL HIMSELF? He is known to have associated with known felons, which is a crime for a sworn police officer. How can he possibly explain this? Does it make you feel safe thinking that a sheriff is a crook? He is a long time mover and shaker in Florida politics - who of his many political contacts are also dirty? How many times was justice perverted by those who had something on Jenne? His crimes were not committed without other people being involved, and anyone involved would have had a strong blackmail ability over Jenne. Think about it.

I know that there are more examples of this type of behavior on the part of government officials, employees and elected public servants, but the point is simple. We MUST take back the power that has been usurped by those who claim to act in the public interest.

Your country, family and life are at stake. It may already be too late.
