Please read the two articles below.
The first, by Peter Guinta, appeared in this morning's St. Augustine Record.
The second appeared on this blog yesterday.
Notice the differences?
MORRIS COMMUNICATIONS did not bother to send a reporter to federal court.
The Guinta article doesn't discuss the legal standards applicable to First Amendment cases.
Guinta quotes miscellaneous babblings and babytalk and non sequiturs from our supercilious City Attorney, RoNALD WAYNE BROWN, who claims the City will graciously do whatever the judge says. That's nice, because when a judge says to do something, it's called an order, and it is enforceable by contempt powers and United States Marshals if necessary.
On Monday afternoon, RONALD WAYNE BROWN did not obey the Judge's orders to stop making gratuitous comments de hors the sworn affidavits in evidence on the preliminary injunction. BROWN was supposed to point to areas on a map, not testify without being sworn. His overbearing know-nothingness was an embarassment to every resident of our City, as was his ex-partner GEOFFREY DOBSON's affidavit. See below.
MORRIS COMMUNICATIONS has consistently indulged in biased reporting on the artist arrests. It defers to human rights violators. It won't even send a reporter to federal court when our City is rightfully sued by four talented visual artists.
It was Marie Antoinette to whom was attributed the zinger, "Let 'em eat cake."
It is MORRIS COMMUNICATIONS that says to readers, "Let 'em eat handouts."
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
