Florida Sheriff Declines Invitation to Attend NAACP Banquet

[squeeze berry]

I read the letter. I think the dude is out of line and I think the letter was unprofessional.

Exactly how is he out of line...specifically please. Why was the letter unprofessional...again, please be specific.

OK......I'll give you a few minutes.

The letter was intended to serve as a vehicle to decline an invitation to a local NAACP event. A professional would have simply declined the invitation and not used the letter to unleash an attack on the organization that had issued the invite.

The NAACP has, in fact, voiced concern over violence in the black community. The Sheriff is unaware of this. That does not mean that it does not exist. Out of line.

The condemnation of the NAACP directors stance on the Martin killing is out of line.

The comments about the President's race are out of line.

Again, the indictment of the NAACP as not having concern over black on black crime is out of line. This Sheriff seems to have a chip on his shoulder at this point. Unprofessional tone and content.

The Sheriff's comments regarding hip hop and the word "******" would be better placed on Yahoo Forums than in an official letter from his office. They are unprofessional. Absolutely unprofessional.


The idea that speaking one's mind is to be universally applauded does not take into account the fact that many people have fucked up minds.

but you forget, this sheriff owes the NAACP nothing .

Who the fuck is the NAACP to demand anything?

 

[Edgetho]

^^^Its not about fairness as you can see it's about White Rage and Get back. Just remember I didn't type this so yelling at me wont help

Don't like it?

Stay the fuck out.

We have a beautiful town and we want it to stay that way.

Absent people like you, it will.

Stay out

 

[squeeze berry]

^^^Its not about fairness as you can see it's about White Rage and Get back. Just remember I didn't type this so yelling at me wont help

because it's white people screaming " no justice, no peace", right?

The Sheriff's Dept down here has had next to zero help from the Black community when trying to enforce the law and keep crime out of their very own neighborhood.

So you know what? They can eat shit.

There's nothing they can do about it, so they either need to get with the program or sit down and shut the fuck up.

Because believe me when I tell you, the last thing they want to do is try any kind of crap with our Law Enforcement down here.

They really don't want to do that.

Several years ago (many, actually), some Outlaws (1%ers) decided they were going to go to Miami en masse to a Funeral for one their murdered 'brothers' in Miami.

Hundreds of them showed up on their Bikes.

Lee County Law Enforcement met them at the Lee/Charlotte County line in over a hundred cars, 50 MC Cops and even a dozen on horseback.

They stopped them cold and told them, "Do not stop in Lee County. If you gotta take a leak. Do it here. If you run out of gas, we will arrest you on the spot. If you break down, we will arrest you on the spot. If you look at us wrong, we beat the living shit out of you, THEN we will arrest you on the spot."

They then proceeded to escort every single one of them to the Collier County Line.

Without incident.

Where they were met by Collier LEOs.

We later lost a lawsuit to the ACLU because it used to be that the Lee Sheriff had a policy of no 'Colors' in Lee County. Wear Collrs? If they saw you, they pulled you over and arrested you.

Like I said, we lost that one.

And there are still some Outlaws here. Maybe six or seven. But the damnedest thing.... Their Clubhouse?

It keeps burning down. The Lee Sheriff swears he's on the case but so far, no luck. I suspect it will burn down again, soon

Don't play in SW Florida.

If you want to be a decent citizen. You will be treated with respect. Shit, I've even been let go when I could have been busted because I had been drinking, but he let me go anyway.

But if you act like a asshole or some kind of badass down here?

Just don't do it. You won't like what happens.

And THAT is what he's telling the NAACP..... This is OUR town, not theirs.

Get used to it.

You are embellishing.

This is the full text of a remarkable letter from Sheriff Mike Scott of Lee County, in which he blasts the NAACP for ignoring black violence but making a national commotion over the Zimmerman trial. It is unusually frank and to the point.

Lee County Branch NAACP
3903 Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard
Fort Myers, FL 33916
Attn: President James Muwakkil

Dear President Muwakkil:

I have been invited to the NAACP Freedom Fund Awards Banquet and have been asked to sponsor the event financially. I will not be doing either but wanted to explain my concerns and the reasons for my decision. Frankly, I believe the NAACP locally and nationally loses credibility when it picks and chooses which issues it rallies around and embraces what often appears to be a double standard relative to race and ethnicity. I am citing two (2) local and recent examples of my concern.

Tragically, record numbers of young, black males have been gunned down in the streets of Fort Myers in an epidemic of alarming proportions over the last few years. In virtually every instance the killer was also black and the majority of those cases remain open. Many more black citizens have been injured and were lucky to survive similar circumstances. To date, I am unaware of any appreciable attention or public outcry the NAACP locally or nationally have afforded these issues in our own, proverbial backyard.

Full copy of the letter here in PDF.

Ensuing fallout:​

Keep your buttsniffer out of American things you dumb slapper, what do you think about this?

White-on-White Crime: It Goes Against the False Media Narrative

What do I think of this, it's bull shit, that's what I think. Why, because whites don't have the hypocritical race profiteers organizing marches and giving speeches how the evil black man is hunting us down. When you see that happening then your bull shit may have some relevance.

No sir. I am not.

I am deadly serious. The local Sheriff's Dept will slam dunk 1%ers in a fucking heartbeat.

Quick.

Next time you're down here ask an old-timer of a Cop. He'll tell you I'm not embellishing.

If anything, I toned it down.

They do this kind of shit all the time in other places. They'll ride into town on some kind of bullshit excuse and tear the town up. Happens a lot. Get drunk, start fights, fire their guns, act like asswipes on their bikes, terrorize locals, mess with the women and beat the shit out of her man if he tries to defend her. Happens more than you think

Not down here it won't.

And the Sheriff wasn't playing. They would have shot every goddamned one of them. They were NOT playing.

Problem is, they aren't afraid of going to Jail. Why should they be? They run the place when they're there.

Not here. We don't play that shit.

Same with the Bloods and the Crips and MS13. Best way to prevent them from being a problem is to stomp them out before they can get started.

Which is what I suspect the problem is between Scott and the NAACP. They ain't interested in turning in their 'own people' that are trying to get gangs started.

 

[OKTexas]

Where the fuck have you been at? They have been showing outrage over the murders in Chicago and Detroit, what rock have you been living under?

I must have missed Al's 100 city protest march about Chicago or Detroit.

You're just fucking blind

Al Sharpton aims to spotlight gun violence here - Chicago Sun-Times

But Sharpton is not 100% all of the black community, other blacks there have not been ignoring the violence there, dumbass.

Story from July 1, 2013, after he started to get all the heat for his hypocrisy, where's your stories from past years where he was not ignoring the violence there?

I'm down there a few times per year. Same as everywhere else in FL. LEO's in your area are not running around burning down buildings and shooting bikers. Just stop.

Right here is the problem...

In Chicago, Violence Soars And Witnesses Go Silent : NPR

This is a conundrum the NAACP can work towards solving.

They don't.

They ignore the problem.

More money in highlighting blacks as the victims of injustice at the hands of whitey.

Why are you ignoring the white on white violence that is occurring? Where is the white community speaking up about riots and murders?

Hurry up and forget you ever saw this

 

[squeeze berry]

tell us what the NAACP has done to promote social justice for all Americans

and tell us why the sheriff should not have told the naacp TO GO TO HELL

Who's ignoring it?

There are like 2 black folks in my town.

ALL the violent crime is white on white.

No one is trying to down play it.

And if I witness a crime, I cooperate with the police.

I go to the station, make a statement, and testify in court if it comes to that.

Does that happen in the black community?

Why not?

Why is this important to black leaders?

 

[Katzndogz]

Yes make sure violent persons remain hopped up as much as possible.

 

[The2ndAmendment]

Burned

FYI, there has been ONE murder in my county in the last 9 years.

There has been ONE reported rape in the last nine years.

There were 6 assaults in 2012.

There were 38 burglaries in 2012.

The population of the county is 40,000.

75 percent of the population owns a firearm.

Crime isn't a black/white issue, it's a urban issue.

Rural America is virtually crime free.

Stop putting words in my mouth.

All I said is that the Sheriff can't figure out who's doing it.

Very strange.

Stop lying.

Piece of shit

 

[Yurt]

FJO, Why did you call Al Sharpton "sub-human"? How do you know Scott is a good Sherriff?

I read the letter. I think the dude is out of line and I think the letter was unprofessional.

And that is my vicious attack.

nonsense, had the sheriff gone to the naacp and made comments you agree with, you would have lauded him

double standard
