The rumor mill was wide open at the Bolton Building this week. About the only good news is I didn’t hear of anyone else getting fired. I had the opportunity to speak with a few employees offsite and they provided some very interesting information. Mostly soft facts that I will be stockpiling for future use when things really start to cook.

The overwhelming fear seems to be of Jamie Miller himself and the reckless firing of personnel in the building which has earned him the nick-name “The Angel of Death.”

One comment from an “insider” stated that: “Jamie is the kind of guy who will piss on your boots, look you in the eye, and try to convince you that its raining outside–and smile about it.”

Sun Herald article comments from Juice13, Cottonmouth, and Cobra seem to support the fear seen among the employees. I can’t say that a hit list of 20 people exists but it really would not surprise me with this dude in charge. I agree with Cobra and Cottonmouth who state that Jamie Miller must go in the article about the patrol chief retiring. Hell, the chief may have seen the writing on the wall himself and abandoned ship.

With the support of Slabbed Nation, the Sun Herald readers, and the citizens of the Gulf Coast I would like to encourage support for the DMR employees at the Bolton Building on the next commission meeting. I saw it is Tuesday and it starts at 9AM. All interested need to make sure this date is correct. We can’t expect the poor employees to stand up in public due to their current working environment. God help them if they do because I am quite sure the “Angel of Death” knows how many wraps comprise a “certified noose.”

Sounds like music that should have played on Wednesday.

Check out these lyrics, no doubt from the African American folk music tradition.

I see things a bit different. One of my clients, a former elected official from one of the inland coastal counties attended the original million man march in DC in 2008. The story he told me about the experience of discerning whether the pissed off Union folks from the north east that were there were “friend or foe” encapsulates what I am speaking of because he found out they were his friend and in fact shared mucho in common.

The crooks in both political parties use artificial divisions to keep the 99% fractured and distracted from the stealing they are doing. If you believe in honest, transparent government you already have more in common with 90% of the occupy movement than you ever will with political crooks that loot the public treasury.

Yeah, there are anarchists in the Occupy movement and some of them likely do not bathe daily. Yes, there are racists in the TEA Party and I bet even some of them do not bathe daily. My experience doing Slabbed is that neither truly define these movements.

Something else you have in common with the Occupy movement. You both read and enjoy this blog.
