We're the Only Ones Brooking No Competition Enough

[Use BugMeNot to bypass site registration.]

A New Jersey woman has accused the Clarke County coroner of taking guns from her father's Bogart house after he pronounced the 86-year-old dead of heart failure, a charge that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation may investigate...

"The mere fact that my father's body was still in the garage just under the room that Mr. Tribble was searching leaves me extremely distressed," Sharpe said. "It appears that rifling through my father's belongings took preference over having his body taken care of. This is certainly a most despicable act on the part of Mr. Tribble"...

"If it wasn't an elected official, there's no doubt we'd investigate it as a theft," Holeman said. "There was no reason for (Tribble) to go any farther than the garage, and if anything needed to be taken for safekeeping, it should have been taken by us."
We all got that, right? If it was anyone besides "an elected official," there'd be no doubt of an investigation. But regardless, he overstepped his bounds, because WE'RE "The only Only Ones" who should have taken the guns. Just "for safekeeping" of course.

We are sorely lacking in any manner of accountability on the part of our PUBLIC SERVANTS. That trend needs reversed - pronto. And We The People don't have time to 'stop and think about it'. We DO need to get organized however.....

so being elected puts you above the law? will the perks never end?

Man, I wish I kept a running list of all the "officials" who've removed things and decided to keep them, like the sheriff who had hundreds of stolen guns (including unregistered machine guns) or all the cops who help things walk out of evidence...well...you do that David. And the trend just continues, as the only ones say(in a horrible slaughtered form of english) I AM THE LAW!
