This week there were two fatalities that should never have happened, one on Route 93, the second in the town of Stoneham.
What
if a fatality happened after a political event where someone was
drinking too much? What if that drunk left a State Rep's home north of
Medford or a candidate's political event in Medford on November 3, and
people got hurt? Would there be responsibility for the politicians who
invited him to their get-togethers????
a)Could the campaign that supplied the alcohol have been charged?
b)Could the venue have been charged?
There is no doubt about the political impact to a good politician's career because someone misbehaved at an event.
Last
evening I was discussing the fact that I had to demand a drunk not get
behind the wheel of his mother's car after a political event. That
obstinate person, as immovable as he is on political matters, was
determined to drive his mother's car from just outside of Medford Square
all the way over to the Fellsway on the Malden line. Finally, after
the individual so inebriated he couldn't stand let alone try to walk,
got into the passenger side of my car, I safely got him home. That
meant the risk to ordinary people who might have gotten in the way of
that drunk maniac were spared.
He,
reportedly, was not the only person in that condition and another
"designated driver" also took a woman home who, purportedly, could not
get behind the wheel.

Again,
the point is this, beyond the public safety issue - what a betrayal of
trust from an individual who ran for elected office, who demands you
praise Sarah Palin (?) and Ted Cruz (?????) and has some bizarre
ideology that he thinks is Republican but it is more like Mitch
McConnell and John Boehner times one hundred.
The
individual had an argument with me and when I brought up his public
drinking people were oh so outraged that I was "hitting below the
belt." Really? Really?
Would
anyone feel that way if the alcoholic jerk, with no concern for any
individual(s) he may kill behind the wheel, using a ton or two of metal
in an inappropriate way, took away innocent lives and reflected badly on
the politician he was supposed to be supporting.
"I
deserve to get drunk tonight" the person declared on November 3
because, as we all know, an election was hijacked by unprincipled and
unethical people. Using that "logic," hundreds should have followed his
lead and gotten drunk and truly put the public at risk.
That
unprincipled person, who will yell and scream about "Republican values"
and how he's right and everyone else is wrong, viciously, maliciously
attacked me this week after I probably saved his life and certainly kept
that maniac from killing someone on the road.
Republican family values: drive drunk, vote Palin/Cruz.
But, as usual, for stating the obvious, this sober driver and articulate journalist must be the bad guy.
All
hail Sarah Palin and Ted Cruz. If you like Hillary, you are the bad
guy, even if you spent half an hour convincing some sick alcoholic NOT
to get behind the wheel of his mother's car to drive to a street off of
Central Ave.
Had people in this community listened to me in 2004, 2005,2006 you would have your access TV.
When
a Clerk Ed Finn flips out, when a certain alcoholic stumbles through a
local restaurant and embarrasses himself in public - and then demands
your vote, and then demands that you agree with his skewed ideology,
what he doesn't tell you is that his inability to seek psychiatric help
and, instead, self medicate to push away his demons, what he deson't
tell you is that it is all about him, not about the people he may hurt,
not about responsibility, not about setting a good example.
Once
again, as usual, I'm the bad guy. The sober guy who sees political
maneuvers which have been detrimental to what those in the BCC really
want for this city.
I
did the right thing. I can sleep at night. It would be nice to get a
little support from people when doing the right thing. But again I
won't hold my breath.
Had
people listened to me and truly acted on access TV with the same
fortitude, courage, perseverance and put my money where my mouth is
attitude that I have shown, we would have a central meeting place, the
access station, and a platform to bring about change.
Interesting that the other "republican" with the excuses he doesn't
want political types retaliating on his son is finally showing up at
council meetings. Interesting. Too bad he didn't have the spine to
look the bullies in the eye and say "You mess with my son, you talk to
my lawyer." But that takes courage, that takes a bit of morality. That
takes guts.
Why take the risk when Joe V. does ALL the heavy lifting in regards to putting his neck on the political line.
Defend
the drunk, defend the coward, and blame the scapegoat, get mad at him
for voting Hillary after some lunatic alcoholic defames him on a Monday
morning.'
Look in the mirror, Medford. Those who walk away when they can help don't deserve a vote.
Those
who liberally use from a man's hard work and honest efforts, and who
let him twist in the wind when he is falsely accused, they aren't "being
political," they are just ....(fill in the blank)
A year ago a varsity coach was no longer employed at Medford High School, June 30, 2015.
On
December 3, 2015 I put in a public records request to Chief "Buddy" Sacco ("Buddy" Sacco? Sacco is not your "buddy," Medford) and
Roy Belson to get to the bottom of it.
ON December 8th the police
initiated a complaint against me, obviously for asking about the varsity
coach, using a case that they had declared dead, and creating false
charges they silently brought into Somerville court without me or my
lawyer present.
It has cost me a LOT of money, and no one seems to give
a damn. While some reprobate threatens our community with a false bomb threat and uses a public defender, the hard-working journalist scrapes together the funds to pay for counsel.
Harder to earn a living on writing when a corrupt ex mayor commits tortious interference (allegedly) and costs you a job as an independent contractor because he has a malicious woman at the weekly newspaper doing his dirty business, isn't it?
Their hands are so dirty.
Of course what do you get for integrity these days with police who lie and who seem to be doing the bidding of two corrupt mayors. The indigent scoundrel who admits to a judge that he is on "food stamps" while proclaiming to the community he is some businessman deserving of praise for silly awards, he gets away with it. Funny how that works, isn't it? The police never arrested that individual for all the threats of physical violence with his "free speech" which was hardly that. It was harassment and threats of physical violence. Of course if you are buddy buddy with a maniac like disgraced cop Stephen LeBert, you had some heavy layer of protection...until LeBert finally got caught on camera being the thug that he is; the true Stephen LeBert emerging for all the world to see, just a garden variety criminal disguised in a cop's uniform.
But
the alcoholic who wanted to be your senator, oh he's such a good
friend. Right. Only one person made damn sure that drunk didn't get
behind the wheel of his mother's car and kill someone.
P.S. Don't kid yourselves, Medford. The false charges against a journalist are ALL ABOUT his asking about the Varsity Coach who was disappeared on June 30, 2015 and some allegedly promiscuous ex-student from a powerful political family - and the massive cover up allegedly concocted by Roy E. Belson, former director of personnel Muccini-Burke, possibly chief sacco, and their sick and twisted accomplices allegedly including an ex judge and an ex city council president with a bad hairdo and questionable ethics at his former place of employment.
Don't Kid Yourselves, Medford!
Some fifty something dude who has to dangle alcohol in front of a child while playing "Pied Piper" or, perhaps, "Plyed Piper" is more like it, being enabled by two people as bankrupt morally as they are financially is what you got for your investment that was ripped out from under you.
This journalist fighting for YOUR RIGHT to that platform is getting the flak, and you know what they say about getting the flak (the anti-aircraft artillery) - YOU MUST BE OVER THE TARGET.
They wouldn't waste resources on little old me unless what I uncovered is true. Think about it.
PLYED
