Cool people keep moving to St. Augustine, FL.
This makes the former business partner's endorsement of Mayor JOSEPH LESTER BOLES, JR. last Sunday all the more pitiful. (Recap: the original partner of BOLES and CLAUDE LEONARD WEEKS, JR. in 81 St. George Street least that has netted $2-3 million in 25 years, CHRISTOPHER WAY, wrote that he was voting for BOLES because he wanted to vote for someone who attended his high school.)
For those who love St. Augustine, we expect more thoughtful logic than solipsism. The KKK cry of "outsiders" and "outside agitators" emitted by former mayors of St. Augustine against the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. has lost its punch. Being in pari delictu with the ancien regime is no compelling reason for voting.
What do y'all reckon?

Regarding this; "(Recap: the original partner of BOLES and CLAUDE LEONARD WEEKS, JR. in 81 St. George Street least that has netted $2-3 million in 25 years, CHRISTOPHER WAY, wrote that he was voting for BOLES because he wanted to vote for someone who attended his high school.)"
ReplyDeleteThat $2-3 million in 25 years is CHUMP CHANGE when compared to the wages that city and retail employees have been screwed out of over the same time period, not to mention the other attendant abuses the community has suffered.
Excerpt;
"The City of Saint Augustine Florida is presently ruled by an oppressive city government that owes its existence to engaging in an on going pattern and practice of knowingly and willingly — and openly bragging about — creating a long string of patently unconstitutional repressive Jim Crow laws. Laws that ban Constitutionally guaranteed FREE SPEECH, art, music, newspapers, political opposition, and the homeless from simply asking another human being for a helping hand. These blatantly unconstitutional laws have been selectively enforced by a subservient goon squad police force that uses; intimidation, massive arrests, entering private property without warrants, confiscating, impounding, and trashing into dumpsters lawful newspapers and political protest materials, selectively excessive bail, etc. All of this arrogant lawlessness and violence has been performed under "color of law" with the purpose of terrorizing and instilling fear and compliance in the city's residents. The end result is that the present city government now stands as a self empowered rogue government that stifles, oppresses, and exploits, the resident citizens at will.
This on going pattern and practice of crimes have all been knowingly and willingly committed for the following express purposes; to suppress and eliminate political opposition so as to illegally and immorally control the city government; to demonize and eliminate an entire recognizable class of people (street artists, entertainers, and the homeless — a hate crime) just like blacks were eliminated and suppressed; to eliminate competition so as to control and fix markets; to suppress and control employee wages by limiting opportunity and instilling fear; to steal commonly owned community property for selfish private use and private gain; to raise confiscatory taxes on the residents to fund the city gangster activities; to pay themselves grossly outrageous fat salaries and piggishly lavish retirement packages, etc.;"
