The following "Letter To The Editor" was sent to Toby Brooks, owner of the local "County Star-News" on January 16, 2007, by a local listener and is now presented in it's entirety as a promise that we would print it in the event the local newspaper chose to not present the letter as was requested by the author. Obviously, after more than six months, for some reason, the County Star-News has chosen to maintain it's silence concerning the criminal activities that continue within the community. Therefore, that letter is presented here in exactly the same form n which it was sent to the County Star-News: Toby, I want this in your newspaper. There are two sides to every story! A convicted felon is defined as someone who has been tried in a court of law and found guilty resulting in an imprisonment. There are so many innocent people who are in prison today. Thanks to for DNA's appeals, injunction reliefs and a good attorney, many of them are set free. But, what about the damage it has done to the families and to the person who has been incarcerated? I remember the case on the Tulia residents where a white crooked cop whose background check was either ignored by the city council or not checked at all. The police officer arrested many black residents for drugs. Thanks to many concerned organizations and law students from New York, those people were freed and the officer were on charges. I think the city needs to check the backgrounds of these officers and take peoples complaints serious instead of ignoring the problems as they know is occurring. And how about here in Shamrock. Do we have that same problem? I know there are many nice state troopers here but I know some that think they are above the law... What about our Economic Development Corp. Do we have an idea what they are all about? Are we blind or just don't want to get involved? In an article, Toby, that you wrote, you stated that Keith Hammond is a convicted felon and will lose his radio station. Well, he did not. At least, to my knowledge, its still going. And he is innocent of all charges that he was accused of. He just did not have a swift lawyer. Keith has informed this town about the drug dealing DA that was later indicted and convicted. He has brought news and information out through his radio station. But I know someone made it impossible for him to make a living here. They took time to dig into his life to maliciously ruin him and his family. What about the improper search and seizure that three guys made at his place of residence. Yes, it was not his building, but there are ways to go about evicting someone out of a building instead of barging in and frightening two small children with guns waking the whole family by surprised. They took all of their equipments over $10,000 worth (Editors Note: Actually, the equipment was valued at more than $80,000.) and returned it back damaged to them calling it an accidental misappropriation. That seizure probably was a way to get access into his computer so they could accuse him of slander. Is there a one way justice here. You know people will get sick and tired of this and people will be held accountable for a lot of things. The Lord said that before you start taking the splinter out of someone elses eyes, take the plank out of your own eyes. Also, thou shalt not bare false witness against thy neighbors only. Toby, if you were wrongfully convicted, I'm sure you would not want someone to say that you are a convicted felon in the newspaper. Just like an attorney once stated, "There's a certain person who is an instigator." Greed and corruption will eventually get the best of us and just because you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you, that don't mean you will go to Heaven. Keith will have his justice soon enough. People are quick to believe in lies and gossips but justice always prevails. I pray for all of us and that we are able to forgive each other and our enemies will come together as one in Jesus's name. |
