Cherokee County Brouhaha – Chapter 2
by Bill Simon
A Cherokee County Magistrate Judge has decided there is enough evidence to charge Mary Wilhite with disorderly conduct in the matter between her and Lee Martin (Read the thread below first to get caught-up to now on this story).
For the record, I will point out that Mary Wilhite DID have a choice in this matter to avoid the disorderly conduct charge: Martin offered to drop the charge during a mediation session (as well as several out-of-court discussions between lawyers) IF Wilhite agreed to make a public apology on her actions and statements to Martin during the incident on August 7.
For the record, Part 2, I had a phone conversation with Mary about a week after the incident in which she told me HER side of the story and she claimed that Martin called her the “fat, racist pig” insult first. AND, she claimed to me that she would be filing a counter-charge against Martin.
Apparently, that claim by her was just angry fluff because no counter-charge was ever filed against Martin. And, I also believe it proves she had ZERO standing on a claim of Martin “assaulting” her.
For the record, Part 3, I was at the courthouse all day on August 18, ready to be called as a witness for Lee Martin to testify on my phone conversation with Wilhite. As such, I had to remain outside the courtroom and wasn’t privvy to seeing the testimony of her, Martin, or any of the other witnesses.
But, apparently, the stories from Martin’s witnesses were enough to counter Wilhite’s witnesses (and, Wilhite’s claim that Martin was the one doing the assaulting) to convince the judge that Wilhite was the one who instigated the altercation and she should be the one charged.
Again, those of you who might go around musing “This is unfair to be charged for defending yourself in a political race…”, well, again, Mary went a tad bit over the line, AND she could have avoided the charge (and the warrant against her now) had she just owned-up to losing her cool and making a public apology.

Bart,
I got a study for you. Find someone who likes their health insurance plan who does not work for the government or an insurance company?

Bart,
The study was done by HARVARD. Also FORD help pay for the study. Why would FORD pay for a bias study on healthcare and bankruptcy. They own FORD MOTOR CREDIT(loans). Ford did not want healthcare problems taking out of the bankruptcy bill.

My previous plan was awesome, while working for one of them foreign companies you so despise.
The problem is healthcare has been turned into a ‘right’ by the left. It is not. If people want it as a right, then move to Canada or England or one of the other socialist countries where govt. must be all to all. The worst thing that can happen to healthcare in America is for government to become even more involved. Mandatory this, regulate that, next thing you know cost will be even higher subsidized by a healthcare tax added on to the already burdensome income, medicaid, medicare, workers comp., social security, etc. taxes being stolen from the American worker.

Bart,
As I said the problem is not foreign companies. I am for free trade, not slave and child trade.If BMW or Honda wins the game without using slaves to make the cars that is fine. If NEC of China steals the name and product line of the U.S. company and uses child and slave labor I have a problem.
