Sheriff SHOAR Stiffs County Commissioners at Budget Workshop, Chairman JAMES KENNETH JOHNS Gets Mean and Hateful

St. Johns County Commissioners were promised that Sheriff DAVID SHOAR would appear to answer budget questions at the August 8, 2017 County Commission budget meeting.

Without explanation, SHOAR did not appear, breaking his August 1, 2017 written promise to Commissioner Jeb Smith that "Myself and our Chief Financial Officer Ms. Raye Brutnell" would attend and attend.

SHOAR was not present.  He broke his word.  So I quoted William F. Buckley, Jr. and asked, "Why does baloney reject the grinder?"

None of my several Sheriff's budget questions were ever answered, e.g., about the sources and uses of funds for St. Johns County Sheriff's Office Four Star Association, Inc.

On June 20, 2017, controversial Sheriff SHOAR stumbled and bumbled through Commissioner questions.

On August 8, 2017, he was a no-show. Pitiful.

St. Johns County Sheriff SHOAR has repeatedly said that police don't need to be watched.  I said we needed police body cameras, and if they had them on September on September 2, 2010, we would have a video record of evidence spoliation at 4700 Sherlock Place.

Then St. Johns County Commission Chairman JAMES KENNETH JOHNS got outright uppity with me, interrupting me, insulting me, threatening me and acting like an energumen other-directed developer tool and fool.

Like corrupt President RICHARD MILHOUS NIXON's response to the Watergate break-in, Commission JAMES KENNETH JOHNS' response to First Amendment protected activity on the Sheriff and developers is unsubtle, unethical and unseemly.

This cognitive miser refused to allow me extra time and gave no reason (Judge Nahum Litt says there is no limit on public comment in TRIM hearings, but what does law matter to a Republican?)

JOHNS falsely claimed that he responds to phone calls (not mine) and threatened me with ejection for being "disruptive" because I laughed.

Note to JOHNS: I have a First and Ninth Amendment right to laugh.  You are not behaving in a constitutional manner, or a Christian manner, despite your affections.

Who put the fire ants in your shorts?

Only two public commenters spoke; the other, before me, was on parks and recreation.

Not one other citizen dared make public comments after JOHNS tried to intimidate me.

JOHNS repeatedly asked if anyone else wanted to comment, saying it was their chance.

No takers.

Having chilled our free speech rights, by attacking me, it was at best facetious for JOHNS to solicit and fake encouragement for public comment.

He is a cognitive miser, a mean man with a mean streak.

Public comment at our county meetings is now a bad joke under the suzerainty of this solemn, asinine, authoritarian, hierarchical excuse for an engineer, a Governor RICK SCOTT appointee who works for developers all day long as head of his own engineering firm.

Like a hick hack imitation of the late corrupt Philadelphia Police Chief and Mayor FRANCIS LAZARUS RIZZO, Sheriff DAVID SHOAR f/k/a has his stable of whores, and JOHNS is the de facto madam.  Oink.
