I Love The Sound Of Righteous Retribution In The Morning: Bad News For Randolph County Manager, Richard Wells

Lately, sometimes Buzz Armfield-of-the-Asheboro-Armfields-whose-name-is-on-Randolph-Hospital's-Cancer-Center is worse than my bipolar-grey-tabby-cat when it comes to making like an alarm clock (on my week off, no less).

But this morning, I did not mind so much because Buzz had great news.  And it's news you won't be reading in the Courier Tribune . . . Asheboro's newspaper being the hand-maiden of all local evil . . . a sorry-excuse-for-journalism that, instead of investigating and reporting local stories, actively works to cover up and/or bury any lawsuit or wrong-doing that might expose the "right people" of Randolph County for the lying, amoral, and/or criminal sleaze-buckets some of them are.

Buzz has contracted an out-of-town attorney on behalf of fellow ex-Child Support Enforcement Agent, Ginger Hunt, to go after the "lean and mean" (translation: cheap and evil) slugs running Randolph County . . . people who think it's okay to trump up bogus charges against a good/loyal employee . . . and throw a single Mother with a child and a mortgage out on the street without unemployment benefits for the sake of trimming their damned budget.

Because that's what happened here, people.  Richard Wells all but confessed in the newspaper.

And here's a hint for any of the painfully-stupid-minions-on-the-County's payroll who did these things thinking no one would care or help Ginger:  Randolph County needs to tremble in fear of a big phat ugly lawsuit.  Hell, if Buzz needs help with the financing (I'm kinda doubting it), I may throw in.

What makes it even more infuriating is that the state of North Carolina, who told all of these agents that their jobs would be safe and nothing would change BEFORE it dumped their departments on the Counties to run/fund, is sitting back on its sorry ass letting crap like this happen.

Of course, I wouldn't know ANYTHING about the state of North Carolina doing a whole lot of nothing to protect/help public servants getting canned for doing their jobs - or simply failing to enforce the law (on the uber-lame, horse-hockey premise that the N.C. Attorney General has no jurisdiction over "non-profits"?!?). 

That's right, folks.  Buzz is mad.  And I am mad right along with him.  This kind of garbage has gone on too long in Asheboro, North Carolina . . . where "right people" dump on good-people-they-deem-to-be-lesser just because they can (usually picking off those who cannot afford to fight back, and thus will silently crawl off, battered and bruised, into the sunset). 

Ergo, virtually no one fights back (mostly because those who get fired don't have a lot of money to spend on a legal battle . . . I know I didn't, and I ultimately got the crappy representation I could barely pay for . . . eventually getting sold-out so my attorney could keep his barstool warm at the Country Clubs). 

And those few who do fight back are crushed/swindled by Randolph County's uber-corrupt legal system.

(I heard through the grapevine that Judge Michael Sabiston is telling folks at the Courthouse that he has no idea why Dr. Mary Johnson is so put out with him.  I'd say that Judge Michael Sabiston either doesn't have Internet access or is pretty damned dense . . . OR is just plain "stupid" . . . in the parlance of Asheboro City Council member-and-defender-of-cyber-stalkers, Clark Bell.)

We ordinary-citizens-screwed-over-by-the-legal-wink-&-nod-routine really have to wonder if the N.C. Administrative Office of the Courts . . . not-to-mention the N.C. State Bar . . . is COMATOSE. 

I mean, what-the-hell do these organizations do all day?  Because they for-damned-sure don't police bad lawyers or moronic judges.

You'll note Buzz had to go out-of-town to find a decent/principled lawyer with any guts.  I know how that goes too.  I'll be getting someone from out-of-state.

I'm very proud of my friend-with-the-right-Asheboro-name.  And I often wonder what might have been if principled not-so-young-anymore professionals like us had been left alone to live our lives and do what we loved in Asheboro.
