What "cynical personal attacks"?

I'm glad that you "know how they operate" and are "too busy to read this junk anyhow."

Perhaps if you'd READ the posts you'd know that there have not been any personal attacks; in fact, some have praised Ballard as a defense attorney.

We'll see when election time comes around just how many people are pleased with Ballard's job performance as a prosecutor who acts like a defense attorney (who are generally the scum of the earth, IMO).

I've seen Ballard's convoluted defense of drug users who drive (I kept looking for Ballard's ponytail) and Judge Edwards' not buying a word of it -- inspiring. My opinion of Ballard was cemented then, but his referring to a child molester as a "good person" confirmed that initial impression.

I'll believe law enforcement officers over a defense attorney any day!

Okay fay79isus, I'll be more positive: I 'feel' 'positive' that your opinion, based on facts, will be met with sarcasm and personal attacks, followed by demands that you expose your identity.

I am positive that this blogging by Scott's well intentioned 'fans' will not help him in the community but instead will probably hurt him.

I am positive that I know Scott and this level of immaturity and discourse is not reflective of him.

I am positive that I like him as a person and as a defense attorney but not as a District Attorney.

Wow... In spite of the wicked thunderstorms my vacation has been great. There's nothing like a ride on the Water Harley at high tide. You can go places where very few have ever dared to venture. Cut the motor and drift through the marsh reeds taking in the "rich" marine life of the South Carolina Low Country. Man... I wouldn't trade this for a tennis court on Hilton Head for all the money in the world. Well...maybe I would for all the money in the world. Wish you guys were here.

Thanks for backing my position Mixer. I very much appreciate folks like you, Lockemup, and several others on here who understand that the real story here is not Scott at all but our declining enforcement of the laws that protect yours and my families. Thanks also for watching my back while I've been gone and my internet access has been practically non-existent. Again thanks guys. There's nothing worse than stepping out on an issue and you turn out to be the only one willing to stand up to an issue that needs to be dealt with. It's easy to go after a councilman, commissioner, rep, or senator because the issues they deal with are ones that we deal with day by day.

Unfortunately when it comes to our judicial system the voters are often clueless and ignorant to what all happens behind the scenes after our law enforcement officers complete their jobs and then turn the cases over for prosecution through the judicial system. In the past the law abiding citizens of this country rested securely knowing that after good guys busted the evil bad guys justice would be served and the evil doers would be put away for a long, long time. Today this is no longer the case, and this is what this whole controversy is all about. Many fine folks (using anonymous monikers for some very obvious reasons) on the Citizen, have stepped up and voiced concerns about the leniency the predators walk away with these days after committing heinous crimes on our family, friends and neighbors.

With all the stinky plea deals that occur daily at our courthouse many vicious bad guys are let back on the streets with sentences that often equate to a pricey speeding ticket. It is a proven and known fact that roughly 85% of all violent crimes are committed by repeat offenders on either early release or parole. So it only makes sense that if we truly desire to reduce criminal activity then we must keep these pieces of human debris locked up regardless of the cost. Even if that cost is ticking off Mrs. Ballard, Charlie Harper, Richard Hobbs (wink), and all the current employees of the DA's office.

Let me just say this.... If Scott Ballard would suddenly put in the extra effort to prosecute the criminal elements of our community to the full extent of the law I could clearly see myself becoming an ardent supporter of our current DA. But after several years of observing many of the cases his office has prosecuted I've come to the conclusion that we are starting to duplicate the soft on crime reputations of our urban neighbors just to the North of us. Because of my concern for my community and my family I take "this" personally.

Now in regards to Mrs. Ballard. Anyone who knows ole Git would know that he would normally relish sinking his teeth into a blogger like Joyb. You gotta admit she has left herself and her hubby wide open for some prime Git Real. If you only knew the restraint I have forced on myself in not responding in a way that would send this gal running with her tail tucked between her legs..... Man...it's killing me.... I smell the blood in the water and I'm doing my best to stay upstream of it...

Think about the treasurers Mrs. Ballard has presented to my campaign. I just wonder if the third candidate has been smart enough to capture the political campaign gems that Mrs. Ballard has chunked our way.

One more thought before I get on the golf cart for a late night ride around the beach. One has to ask why prosecutors and trial lawyers do their best to avoid having a case come before Superior Court Judge Chris Edwards.

**** GIT REAL TOUGH ON CRIME ****

"That man was Griffin Judicial Circuit District Attorney Scott Ballard".

CLICK HERE FOR THE REST OF THE STORY

I've seen Ballard as a defense attorney before Judge Edwards & was I impressed (with Edwards, of course). It was then that I knew that I didn't think much of Ballard, and when he called a child molester a "good person," I knew that my initial impression was right.

The following accounts show why being "soft on crime" is a detriment to society.

________________________

Two [white] men described by authorities as career criminals [each having records that include more than 20 prior burglaries but were out of prison on parole] were arraigned Tuesday [7/24/07] in the home invasion and arson that took the lives of three members of a Cheshire [CT] family.

Joshua Komisarjevky, 26, of Cheshire, and Steven Hayes, 44, of Winsted, were formally charged with assault [bludgeoning the father, who survived], first-degree aggravated sexual assault [of the mother and her 11-year-old daughter, who both died, as well as the 17-year-old daughter], kidnapping, burglary, robbery and arson [pouring gasoline on the victims and setting them on fire]. They were each ordered held in lieu of $15 million bond.

State police have said that additional criminal charges are likely to be filed.

"Gruesome Details in Connecticut Murders"

All three women were raped, sources familiar with the investigation told both the Waterbury Republican-American and Hartford Courant. Petit [the father] was beaten with a baseball bat, thrown down the basement stairs, and then tied up in the cellar.

The girls, sources told the Courant, were tied to their beds and raped repeatedly, then left to burn after gasoline was poured around their beds and ignited.

(Neither suspect had a [known] history of violent crimes.)

[The father heard his wife begging for her life before she was strangled, and the police heard the girls' screams when they arrived to find the house on fire.]

"The Truth of Interracial Rape in the United States"

According to a 2005 DOJ survey, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped (includes verbal threats) by a black man; 15,832, by bi-racial male; while 10 or less black females were sexually assaulted or raped includes verbal threats) by a white or bi-racial man (which can be interpreted as "black rapists deliberately seek out white women as their targets").

(Department of Justice, "Criminal Victimization in the U.S. Survey [to estimate the likelihood of victimization by rape and/or sexual assault], Table 42, Personal Crimes of Violence, Single-Offender Victimizations, 2005)

In the survey, more than half of the single-offender rapists and/or sexual assault perpetrators were black or bi-racial and about 1/3, white (Table 40).

According to the 2005 DOJ survey, black females face less than a 10% chance of being raped by a stranger (estimate based on about 10 or fewer sample cases); white women, about 43% (Table 30).

"Grasping the Third Rail"

African-Americans are 12% of the population of the United States. Roughly 50% of that population is male. This means that 6% of our population accounts for 50.1% of all rapes committed and 33.6% of rapes committed against white women. What do you suppose the connections might be between these statistics and a.) the prevalence of a multiculturalist ideology that excuses criminality by perpetuating a victim-mentality among African-Americans, and b.) the continued popularity of hip-hop as an expression of the violence and hyper-sexuality that pervades black urban culture?

Do something positive like you do? I would be willing to bet I do more for this community than you do. Including, but not limited to, defending the right of bloggers to have an opinion and remain anonymous ... exactly like what you are doing on this thread but don't want others to be able to do... so, are you a hypocrite or just confused?

I am not the one complaining about anonymity, you are.

Like the avatar -- so colorful. You said that your granddaughter (son?) helped you. Aren't kids clever with computers? I'll ask, "Where did you learn that?" I get a questioning look that says, "Who doesn't know that?"

are you sure you don't mean "beseech"
(of course, if you had used it, the result would have been redundant and not merely confusing)

To assail or ply with demands!

Besiege -- To harass or importune (badger, hound, vex, plague, be-devil), as with a myriad of nonsensical postings -- Yes, Duller, you do that quite well!

We all "beg" you -- beseech you -- to cease your absurd, rambling posts.

To cause to feel distressed -- Only if one reads and tries to understand your illogical rambles.

To crowd around; hem in -- You do show up at every post, like flies at a picnic.

To surround with hostile forces -- Yes, you are hostile, especially toward pleasant people, such as Tug & Jane, and you'd like to force them to stop posting. You "assail" (attack verbally) and "ply with demands" (like the temper tantrums of a 2-year-old) –- neither verb means beseech or besiege BTW -- that they communicate by email. Your posts do tend to surround this site with their unpleasant smell -- diarrhea of the fingers from a gasbag.

Learn the difference between "beseech" (which indicates civility) and "besiege" (which indicates hostility).

TonyF is right, but you won't stop babbling long enough to listen, and that is characteristic of a fool: "one who is deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding."

Fool: jackass, moron, mooncalf (a strange, glassy-eyed creature with overlarge feet that dances at night in fields in the Harry Potter stories), idiot, goof, goose, nincompoop, ninny, nitwit, simpleton, softhead, dope, ding-dong, dolt

"The pejorative nature of the term fool is strengthened by a knowledge of its etymology. Its source, the Latin word follis, meant “a bag or sack, a large inflated ball, a pair of bellows.” Users of the word in Late Latin, however, saw a resemblance between the bellows or the inflated ball and a person who was what we would call 'a windbag' or 'an airhead.'"

I tried to find just one saving grace in your harangue but all I could find was personal name-calling.
What are "pleasant people," by the way? I can't find anything pleasant in your blabber.
Do pleasant people ever have any ideas that disagree with others? If so, do they ever state them? If not, what good are they?
You can love this stupid war if you like, I don't!

"Pleasant" -- I wasn't trying to be nice because I'm not ignorant.

"Blabber" -- Did you take your diarrhea medicine as I prescribed?
