Yes, Mr. Jones is soo many of those things, but what the heck does the church he is a part of or the God he worships have to do with anything??? Why does he have to attend any church or worship any God. If he indeed attended a church like so many of the phony christians around here that actually would explain a lot. Please, get off the religious trip of throwing out church and God. It’s so exhausting!

Hootie, yes, I can agree that Mr. Jones could use some anger therapy and perhaps even take a public speaking course or some type of speech class, both would probably do him some good. But! I believe you would benefit from an anger management class as well after reading your angry tirate on the hilariously titled, ” Mothertruckers ” article! And since we are giving out advice maybe some education on both presidential candidates. Fox News doesn’t count though. Oh yeah and even yoga it really helps with negativity and hate!

Yes, I agree, as a parent myself I can say I would love my child and support him despite his actions or behavior as well and at the same time not condone it. I could only imagine how painful a time this may be for both parents. I am not judging Mr. Harrell’s choice in anyway to continue for his bid in office because only he knows what is best for himself and his family, but I personally would drop out and focus on my child. My child would come first. I would want to help him. What I have a problem with is the additude Mr. Harrell has suddenly adopted now that his family finds themselves on the other side of law enforcement. I believe the comment from Mr. Rodger said it best when he said, “…a retired cop who now wants us all to let the system judge him before the court of public opinion judges him. I highly doubt he had that mindset when he was in law enforcement.” I am very hesitant of voting for cops. Being a person of color my encounter with cops has never been a pleasant one. Not as extreme, like that of many in the African American community but they almost have all been poor. A pass, insulting remarks, agisim, racial profiling, short and annoyed when I have called to report vandalism, or theft. These two choices for the people of Tulare are horrible. So in the end we all lose. I wait for the day to afford to live in a progressive town where the majority of people are not racist, classist, or phony Christian’s clinging to their American flags alongside a Vote Trump 2020 flag on pick-up trucks or a parade of them down the 99 who have met at the AG center. Please!!! The only thing that was missing that day was the burning cross.
