If the shoe fits, wear it!

Hypocrisy is the state of falsely claiming to possess virtuous characteristics that one lacks. Hypocrisy involves the deception of others and is thus a kind of lie. It is amazing that a certain segment of our population pretend to speak for all, but in reality speak only on behalf of their selfish agenda. SAD.

Woman Found Superglued To Home Depot Toilet Seat In Alleged Prank

A woman in north Georgia says she is still recovering from injuries she endured when an apparent prankster superglued the toilet seats in a Home Depot. But now police aren't so sure she didn't orchestrate the incident herself.

Nearly two weeks after Illyanna De La Keur was rescued from the restroom of the Banks County Home Depot, the Georgia mother told local station WSB-TV that she's still barely able to sit up.

De La Keur said she didn't realize anything was amiss when she sat down on the Home Depot toilet seat while shopping with family the day before Thanksgiving. However after the glue was discovered, Home Depot employees were forced to call in emergency responders.

The extraction process took close to an hour and left De La Keur with several painful injuries including ripped skin, she told WSB-TV. Indeed,in raw video footage of the incident De La Keur can be clearly heard crying out in pain.

"I couldn't understand why they weren't just taking me to an emergency room and having a doctor remove it," De La Keur told WSB-TV.

Following the rescue, police opened an investigation in an effort to identify the culprit responsible for the bathroom's sticky surprise, The Smoking Gun reports. Home Depot manager Mary Dean told police that she found a paper bag containing a bottle of Loctite Go2 Glue on the bathroom floor. According to the Loctite website, the product is an "all-purpose" glue that is "water resistant, dries crystal clear, and sets with no clamping."

However in an odd twist, the Banks County Sheriff's Office said that after reviewing security camera footage, it appears no one besides De La Keur entered the bathroom during the window when the glue presumably was applied.

"There is no evidence to show that someone did it besides who was in there," Deputy Sheriff Carissa McFaddin announced Dec. 9, the Augusta Chronicle reports. McFaddin added there was not enough evidence to charge anyone at this time.

Ga. man shoots, kills roving Alzheimer's patient

Ga. man shoots, kills roving Alzheimer's patient

WALKER COUNTY, Ga.

In a case that could renew the debate over stand-your-ground laws, authorities in northwest Georgia say one man shot and killed another after the shooter felt threatened by a 72-year-old who turned out to be a wandering Alzheimer's patient.

Walker County authorities told the Chattanooga Times Free Press (http://bit.ly/1bXSw3m ) that the victim, Ronald Westbrook, walked about three miles in the sub-freezing temperatures before knocking on Joe Hendrix's door just before 4 a.m. Wednesday.

Hendrix's fiancee didn't answer, instead calling police. But before deputies arrived, Sheriff Steve Wilson said, Hendrix went into the back yard with his handgun, where he saw Westbrook in silhouette.

Wilson said Hendrix, 34, recalled giving Westbrook several verbal commands, but the advanced Alzheimer's patient — who was wearing a light jacket and a straw hat with temperatures in the low 20s — didn't respond. Hendrix then fired four shots, the fatal bullet hitting entering Westbrook's chest.

No charges were filed, but Wilson said local prosecutors could pursue a criminal case once they review evidence.

"We reserve our options and rights to file charges once the investigation is complete, if we feel like Georgia law warrants charges being filed," Wilson told the newspaper.

Westbrook's family declined to comment.

Wilson said he believes Hendrix should have stayed inside the house, but added that the shooter didn't violate any laws by walking out into his own yard.

Georgia's self-defense law generally allows a person to use force when they have reason to believe they are under a physical threat. The law does not necessarily require a person to retreat from a perceived threat even if backing down is possible. That's a distinction from traditional self-defense laws that gave homeowners wide latitude to defend themselves inside their residences, while typically requiring someone in any other location to seek ways to back down without resorting to violent action.

"Mr. Hendrix is clearly saddened and heartbroken," the sheriff said. "Mr. Hendrix has to live with his actions for the rest of his life."

Wilson said a sheriff's deputy had stopped Westbrook earlier in the night standing at a mailbox on nearby Marble Top Road, where Westbrook once lived. Westbrook told the deputy he was getting his mail.

When officers reached Westbrook on Hendrix's property, the slain man was clutching the envelopes he'd taken from his old neighborhood.

This is by no means an attack on gun owners. My wife and I both own guns. What I am questioning is his judgment. Did he really have to shoot to kill a 72 years old Air Force Veteran with advanced Alzheimer? You be the judge.

Republican Governor of Georgia have statue removed

Republican Gov. Nathan Deal of Georgia recently signed an executive order authorizing the removal of the Tom Watson statue from the grounds of the Georgia State Capitol in Atlanta.

You are probably saying who is Tom Watson? “Tom Watson was a first-class hater and it wasn’t just Jewish people, he hated Catholics and Black people too,” said Anti-Defamation League southeastern director Bill Nigut, in a 2010 story on 11 Alive News.

Watson was a prominent voice in the buildup to the 1915 lynching of Leo Frank, a Jewish businessman convicted of murdering Mary Phagan. “His anti-Semitism and racism was particularly vile,” said Sen. Vincent Fort.  Fort says Watson whipped up racist sentiment that led to a riot in Atlanta in 1906.

For all that think Governor Deal is a liberal…that could not be further from the truth. He is very conservative, but as a man, he does what’s right. I have a lot of respect for him. The tea party have no influence with him, so all they can do is pout and say ugly things. SAD.
