This comment does not address the merits of any criminal charge against Norman, although a review of the original "stalking" complaint would suggest that it was based more on a revenge motive than any actual basis in fact. Stalking is a misdemeanor offense. The same was issued days after the alleged stalking over the internet occurred. There are no allegations Norman actually did any type of stalking, other than the creative "stalking over the internet" posts. Stalking over the internet is a new one on me. It does not even qualify as harassment because it was not sent directly to Fleming. Rather, it was a general post than anyone could read. If poor Fleming thought he was being stalked over the internet, he did not have to read the post. See that little red "X" in the upper right? Just click it and the "stalking" goes away. The charge is bogus on its face. HOWEVER, THAT IS NOT THE POINT OF THIS POST. THIS IS: There was absolutely NO exigency requiring law enforcement to make a midnight raid on Norman's house, to either search pursuant to an equally questionable search warrant or to make an arrest on a misdemeanor. Law enforcement knows full well that pursuant to administrative rules, a Magistrate does NOT have to come out after 8:00 p.m. in the evening to arraign and set bond for someone arrested after 8:00 p.m. That means that ANY arrest after 8:00 p.m. will result in the person spending at least the night in jail. Knowing this, and knowing there was no exigency which required an arrest for the public's safety and/or to prevent Norman's "flight" from the charges, law enforcement, led by Chief Walton (who has publicly admitted his disdain for Norman, claiming Norman cost him the election in 2008), consciously chose to arrest Norman at midnight so that Norman would have to spend the night in jail, which is exactly what occurred. Whether the underlying charge has any merit, the actions take by nearly a dozen law enforcement in the arrest of Norman and search of his house were clearly intended for nothing else other than to see Norman in jail for at least one night, with the clear intent to embarrass him in the process. NEVER in my nearly 30 years of dealing with the Court system have I ever witnessed such an arrest on a misdemeanor charge of this type occur after 8:00 p.m. NEVER have I ever witnessed the requiring of a dozen law enforcement related people to effectuate an arrest and search on a misdemeanor charge. This was done to accomplish one sole purpose, which succeeded in the jailing of Norman. I disagree with a lot of what Norman does, but NO ONE deserves this type of treatment. ANY judicial officer with an ounce of a brain should do anything other than to dismiss with prejudice this whole rotten mess.
welcome to "justice" in the loco poco forest, where personal favors are called in and police powers are misused and totally abused to destroy individuals and their liberty.
hey !! where is ms.beverage ??????oh yeah that``s right she is at home sittin on the couch in her wet pissed up panties polishing off another box of little debbie`s,because she was humiliated at the polls ......... she was going to help chief run a muck clean up the county,no matter what it took...no matter how many of the peoples rights it took .....cause she was going to be runny mucks number one badge bunny ........ well look where she is now !!!!!!!! she forgot that the people put here in that office,and it was the people who kicked her fat ass to the curb ...... wonder if the so called sheriff ever even gives her a call now and then ........... judge pompass he was smart enough to bail out before he needed bail for himself,won`t miss him either .......just in over his head rowe rowe your boat,is all that is left ,but look how hard he came down on the big rapist totten .........i bet they put it to that p.h.s. teacher a lot worse ...........
meanwhile, slow roe rowe scratches his balding head and wonders why everything in poca is viewed as "politically motivated" and why "society is jaundiced and jaded".
of course chief run a muck never had any training as a police officer,nor has he gotten any since taking office ......... he runs around playing a cop wanna be,and just pool how muck hurt and damage he has done ..........what a shame and rowe backs him up .........just like arresting norman in front of the times office ,for a photo op for pam pritt and angelo jeordona ..........absolutely for no reason other than to discredit alderman the day after he had runny muck served with a federal lawsuit in federal court .....

The mere fact that this mess happened at all proves beyond all possible doubt that we do not have any judicial officer "with an ounce of a brain."

ReplyDeleteanother glaring example whereby the federal authorities need to step in and skull crush the pcsd.
