Re: Has JK been a failure as GM or whatever he calls himself of EOG?
7 years ago, there was a Gay Rights march here where i live...Can't remember what motivated the march/parade or whatever is was called specifically, but, anyways, the march itself went pretty smoothly as far as i know....Right after the march though, two of the participants in the march walked to a bar about 2 m iles from the one i owned, and while standing at the front bar waiting to order drinks, a few of the other bar patrons started fucking with the guys because of their outfits, catcalls and shit i guess, just trying to humiliate them apparently..
One of the marcher dudes apparently got annoyed and said something back to the drunken hecklers, and this led to the two of them being beaten within inches of their lives....I mean, seriously, one of the guys faces was stomped to the point that 4 years later, he was still having corrective surgeries performed to try to make eating a meal pain-free.
The police and DA here in Jax basically blew the entire thing off...I know that not one single attacker was ever prosecuted for anything more than simple misdemeanor battery, think he got time served with the night he spent in jail, and some small fine...The owner or the bar had nothing done against him, a lawsuit fell through, and the whole thing was pretty much tossed under the rug within weeks....No apology was ever made public to the 2 guys, or the gay community in general, and besides the local press, nobody of any merit ever even denaounced what had taken place, not the beatings themselves, nor the pathetic coverups that followed.
Going with your reasoning, any gay rights activist who wanders into a bar here, well, fuck him, he deserves to get his skull stomped into the floor, because it happened before, and nothing was ever done about it?
May be reading your post wrong, but, that seems the gist of it to me.
But, o.k, whatever, that just came to mind soon as i read your post, found the basic similarities kind of ironic and twisted....
So, anyways.....You feel that it is o.k. for a poster to falsely accuse another poster of fucking a ten year old child, becuase a few months ago John Kelly refused to denounce something said in an article that was posted on the front page here at EOG, by one of his employees at the time, correct?
What exactly was said, in this horrific article? Can you post a link to it for me? Did Jimmy Hoffa accuse Mofome of fuckin a baby or something? He falsely accuse Mo of child abuse? Theft? Animal cruelty/rape? Incest? You got my mind racing dude..
Looking forward to reading this article you speak of, thanks in advance for any help with this.
John Kelly opened the door to libel and slander here when he stood by Hoffa's article. If he chooses to cry foul now when the attacks are on him instead of Mo, it only proves that he cares more about himself than this forum or anyone on it. He had a chance to set the bar high here at EOG, but instead he chose to turn a blind eye and let his own staff engage in the mud-slinging. And where did it get him? Hoffa was eventually fired for reasons that were obvious to everyone here, and John is left with no leg to stand on for having not taken a stand on his behavior to begin with. It may be a shame to see, but they're only reaping what they've sown.
If John wants to admit that Hoffa's article was garbage and he was wrong to allow him or his writing to represent EOG, I'll be the first to join the cry for more civility here. Until then, I'd say that it's all fair game.
