Using their status as public officials to usurp the laws or pad their pockets does nobody good and it kills interest in the process. And doing that you might as well go back to being colonies of England and allowing a king or queen rule over us by Divine Right when people are so disgusted over the process and getting involved means you get a microscope shoved up your ass.<BR/><BR/>On an unrelated note - Your Queen Julia Carson thinks she rules Indy by "Divine Right" and even if it takes shenanigans by you and her other Court Jesters to ensure her reign continues.

If his political instincts are no better than that, he's a fool to think he's heading for higher office.<BR/><BR/>I think he also demonstrated political self-destructive behavior with the Human Rights Ordinance drama. He ultimately came around and voted yea in round 2, but in his attempt to play both sides he did himself no favors, and in the end I don't think he won many friends on either side of the debate.Jeff Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442791690252112600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159381152840406742006-09-27T13:19:00.000-05:002006-09-27T13:19:00.000-05:00"then maybe he should step aside, get his life in order, and let someone with good common sense have his seat on the Council."<BR/><BR/>Nah.

What isn't a big deal. I'm not here to defend Mr. Gibson, in fact I find it deplorable what members of our City Council, including him involve themselves in, but this just isn't a huge deal. If this was a kid in broad ripple the most that would have occured is a night in jail and a suspended sentence. And in fact most likely all that's going to happen here is a suspended sentence, maybe substance abuse classes. Let's start looking at his record. I'm way more concerned about his contorsions on the human rights ordinance thatn this nonsense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159379044075454732006-09-27T12:44:00.000-05:002006-09-27T12:44:00.000-05:00Advance IndIana:<BR/><BR/>Ron Gibson was backed by Carson and is a member of the Ghetto Mafia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159377131611283282006-09-27T12:12:00.000-05:002006-09-27T12:12:00.000-05:00"fed up" may have 'demons in the bottle' problems of her own ... just sayin'Wilson46201https://www.blogger.com/profile/06987859307032067229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1159374607989682722006-09-27T11:30:00.000-05:002006-09-27T11:30:00.000-05:00Anon 12:26, that's what he said.

Ron used the spade remark? I'm hoping you heard that wrong, AI. <BR/><BR/>Was he intoxicated at the time? Because the "spade" remark is often viewed as racist. <BR/><BR/>Ron has exercised extremely poor judgment if he indeed filed a complaint against the officer in question. Even if she were wrong, and if he were abused that night---he's a freaking City Councilman, for cryin' out loud. Can't he see that the better part of valor/discretion would be for him to walk away? An odd demonstration of machismo, don'tcha think?<BR/><BR/>In short, nothing good could've come from his filing a complaint.<BR/>If he can't see that, then maybe he should step aside, get his life in order, and let someone with good common sense have his seat on the Council.<BR/><BR/>Wait a minute...there is already a Goofball Caucus on the Council...<BR/><BR/>And, I'm not a Brizzi fan, but I do understand his call for a special prosecutor.

In his words, Brizzi should have called a "spade a spade." He accused the deputy of acting with malice towards him in pursuing this charge. If I'm not mistaken, it was Gibson who first sought to have her fired over the incident before she actually filled out a complaint against him.Gary R.
