Clean Up City of St. Augustine, Florida

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!

Angry Mob Tosses Ukrainian Politician Into the Trash. (NBC News, September 16, 2014)





While I do strongly disapprove of the water and the tire, the symbolic speech of Ukrainians depositing a corrupt Russian-loving politician in the trash resonates.

It made me think of stunningly, stinkingly corrupt St. Johns County Sheriff DAVID SHOAR, who

  1. Legally changed his name from "HOAR" in 1994, who:
  2. Covered up the September 2, 2010 murder of Michelle O'Connell in the home of Deputy JEREMY BANKS, using BANKS' service weapon;
  3. Covered up the January 31, 2019 murder of Eli/Ellie Washtock, who was investigating the September 2, 2010 murder of Michelle O'Connell;
  4. Covered up the $702,771+ embezzlement by RAYE BRUTNELL, not "recusing himself," but requesting another Sheriff of his own choice to "investigate";
  5. Blocked a forensic audit of the St. Johns County Sheriff's office;
  6. Threatens Commissioners with letter grades;
  7. Obstructs Commission requests for information;
  8. Conceals spending by his 501c3;
  9. Takes copiou$ quantities of campaign ca$h from developer$ and gambling interests;
  10. Drops developer money bombs on candidates with ethics, including Nancy Shaver, J. Kenneth Bryan, Ben Rich, Sr., et al.
  11. Is so reviled that the last five (5) candidates that he endorsed LOST, including:
  • St. Augustine Beach Mayor ANDREA SAMUELS (whom he endorsed on Sheriff's letterhead)
  • St. Johns County Commission candidate DICK WILLIAMS.
  • St. Augustine Mayor JOSEPH LESTER BOLES, Jr., defeated by Nancy Shaver in 2014.
  • St. Augustine Mayor candidate KRIS PHILLIPS, defeated by Nancy Shaver in 2016.

Angry Mob Tosses Ukrainian Politician Into Trash Can

SEPT. 16, 201401:05


Sept. 16, 2014, 4:30 PM UTC / Updated Sept. 16, 2014, 3:22 PM UTC / Source:Reuters

One of Kiev’s prominent politicians is full of rubbish — or rather, the rubbish is full of him. Vitaly Zhuravsky, once a member of former President Viktor Yanukovich's Party of the Regions and now a member of the Economic Development Party, came face-to-face with an angry mob outside Ukraine’s parliament.
Having a history of authorizing bills placing restrictions on anti-government protests and criminalizing libel did not appear to play well in his favor. Protesters, shouting profanities, tossed the neatly dressed lawmaker into a trash can, dousing him with water and clocking him with a tire. Zhuravsky was ultimately able to crawl out of the bin and escape the mob.
