REGARDING:
“Then Ricky Perritt, another political outsider, is arrested for allegedly defrauding some pharmacies into allowing him to purchase the EXACT amount of prescription medication that he and his wife were supposed to have for the conditions that they suffer from. Huh?”

Are you really saying he really needed all that medication but all the doctors withheld it? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THOSE HEARTLESS DOCTORS????

If he does need that much chemical help to function, how well will he function in office?

Even if he can function perfectly in office with enough dope in his system, should he be in office while breaking the law on a daily basis?

Yes, it is political as well as criminal because he chose to go into politics and it looks like he decided to go into crime.

What we need is an end to the politically motivated prosecutions around here. First we have Gene Valentino charged with asking for money while in his government office. While I agree, Valentino is an incumbent, he is still outside the good ol’ boy network. The only witness to his alleged misdeeds, Dan Gilmore who is listed as a fund raising chair for George Touart, Valentino’s political opponent. For some reason no one thinks that this is suspicious.

Then Ricky Perritt, another political outsider, is arrested for allegedly defrauding some pharmacies into allowing him to purchase the EXACT amount of prescription medication that he and his wife were supposed to have for the conditions that they suffer from. Huh?

Does the states attorney find this odd? Nope, it full speed ahead.

But wait, we have an issue between two good ol’ boys regarding some yard signs. It seems that the good ol’ states attorney has decided that he better recuse himself to avoid the look of impropriety since all of these good ol’ boys, including the good ol’ States Attorney, have good ol’ family members that work in each others good ol’ offices.

So, he is going to recuse himself on a 3rd degree misdemeanor BUT he is going to go full speed ahead on the felony case against Ricky Perritt. Nothing odd about that, right.

Now, the word on the street is that there may even be a speed bump in the case against Valentino. Shocking!

I guess that if you are a good ol’ boy, things just mysteriously go your way. Your opponents just HAPPEN to find themselves in legal hot water just before the election and wouldn’t you know it there is no way to clear your name until after the election.

I guess that it is no different than we are used to, but it is amazing what you can get used to.

REGARDING:
” Broxson is the muck slinger by going posting the video evidence on YouTube before a criminal investigation could be completed.”

To do so would be to withhold factual information from the voters. It wouldn’t be to withhold rumor or innuendo.

I get the impression some are simply looking at the matter from a legal/criminal viewpoint. I suspect Mr. Broxson is mostly interested in the political viewpoint rather than worrying about winning a few hundred dollars in compensation at best but losing the election. (Which he still may lose.)

He felt no reason to do a criminal investigation to know if his son accurately recorded the actions of one of his opponents. For all I know the recording would not even be admissible in court. Nonetheless, he surely considered it something the voters should know about. (Do you think the information should have been withheld from the voters?)

If he is slinging muck (muck: rubbish, something that is distasteful, disgusting, manure), the opponent generated the muck in the first place. I’m not even sure if “muck” applies but he definitely showed a person not acting at his best. Pity is appropriate but respect is not so much due.

I hope he regains his respect and standing in the future.

Actually I’m not mad at any of the canidates, just disappointed in how they are acting in the public arenia. I’ve already said it in other post on other stories that Brown is a thief as demonstrated on the “sneaky” video and Broxson is the muck slinger by going posting the video evidence on YouTube before a criminal investigation could be completed. Both are about equal in my book – sorry as two old yard dogs that get into your chickens.

“Oversight” it’s sad that instead of being mad with Greg Jr for stealing signs you are mad at Broxson’s campaign for reporting it to law enforcement and the community which needs to know that the hard-earned money his supporters have been contributing to his campaign was basically being stolen away sign by sign by thieves, including an opponent caught on tape.

If he’ll steal signs, just imagine what he would do if he actually had some power…….

In response to “louis,”
Broxson could have taken the high road and turned his “video evidence” to the sheriff’s office for an investigation, but instead he chose to take the low route down in the in the pig wallow by putting his film on YouTube. So, no I don’t see Broxson being any better than Brown or even the arrested Perritt for the way he has conducted himself.

Again, when people are running for office they should be careful of what they do, Mr. Brown for instance. There was only one thing missing in this video to make them look like the theives they were and that was masks on their facees. Look at the video, they were running back and forth to their sign (Brown sign) and touching it every time a car would come by like they were putting out one of their signs. Sneaking around just like theives in the night. Since they were stealing signs, the Browns, just what kind of honest state representative do you think he would make? Why did he hook up with Bo Johnson, who along with his wife spent time in jail for stealing from the government. Birds of a feather flocked to gether. Did Bo Johnson show him the ropes?

Having just read the Florida Constitution in preparation of my YouTube debut, I notice it spells out right to privacy in two places as mentioned elsewhere. The first forbids governmental intrusion into privacy. The second deals with the privacy rights of minors.

I am saddened to realize neither actually deals with the very real threat of nongovernmental types callously recording my conversations while vandalizing the property of others while trespassing. For that, we have to turn to statutes.

To truly address the danger, we really need a separate law authorizing the destruction of other people’s property with impunity from observation and/or recording. That way there will be no doubt we favor such actions.

[NOTE: If any of these Browns are any relation to Kathy, I renounce any denunciation of the vandalism, not because I agree with it but just because I don’t want her mad at me.]

To Mr. “oversight” Why don’t you know the facts before you comment. Mr. Broxson has been having signs stolen ever since he starting putting them out. Mr Broxson has not done anything illegal. If you had had your property stolen and stolen would you want to know who was doing the stealing. Would you not do just what he did and wait and try to find the thief. Mr. Broxson is a fine, descent, christian man and you are judging him for protecting his property. You are putting him the same place as Brown who was stealing signs and any body with one eye and half sense can see from the video what he was doing, and you are putting him in Mr. Perritt place who has been arrested for pill shopping. Why are you blaming Mr. Broxson for this he has done nothing like this. He was just trying to protect his property.
