It is a true shame to see local politics play out... Catoosa and Walker counties are stronger conservatives and overall, better educated politically. Dade and Chatooga are more liberal which leads to mindless voting...voters come in for a particular race...typically sheriff...then click on incumbents like Buzz mindlessly without educating themselves before doing so. Buzz counted on this...he spent 4 times less on his campaign which was evident by anyone who travels in the counties of Walker and Catoosa by the sheer number of signs allowed in individuals yards in support of Woodruff. Woodruff had 50 signs of support to Franklins 1 which was predominantly on street corners. Perhaps next time our electorate will be more educated as to the best, most ethical candidate...rather than click yes for incumbent out of ignorance. That type of mindless, ignorant voting belongs in Chicago! Please educate yourself before you vote...and encourage others you come in contact with to do the same. Cheers

Ohhhh mom, you act like the grand jury was provided with the truth. Remember who you're talking to.

By the way, I'll quote you, "I really don't care if shes guilty or not..."

That says an awful lot about you...and why you believe Buzz to be a good man that does the right thing.

In my opinion you don't know right from wrong, good from bad.

As a matter of fact, i have no idea who i'm talking to. I do care about the victims, but I don't care to argue about whether she is guilty or not. Like I said, I know both of them and I feel that the best man won. That is my opinion (and the majorities) and I'm not going to personally bash people on here.

Its pretty clear who you are. You know she was found not guilty, but you really don't care if shes guilty or not?

(Looking around) Yeah, I "think" this is America? Back in the day when public schools actually taught American history, the constitution, bill of rights, how our courts are supposed to work, etc., we were actually taught a person is innocent until proven guilty by a jury of their peers in a court of law. You my dear are making it clear that you don't believe Tonya is innocent.

You talk about the grand jury and their decision, but you don't talk about the jury and their decision or the fact that they saw though the lies Buzz's assistant DA's and others tried to spoon feed them.

I'm not surprised. You are only concerned about your rights, not mine, and certainly not your fellow citizens.

Yes, you have the right to your opinions, no one wants to take that right away from you. However that means I also have the right to my opinions and frankly my opinion is you voted for a buddy.

Personally, I don't know Buzz, don't know what of man he is, but I certainly know what kind of DA he is and I know he needs to find a new line of work.

The law abiding citizens of this county shouldn't have to live in fear of getting on the wrong side of one of the favored citizens. By favored I mean one thats allowed to commit perjury (or as the Ninth Commandment says - Thou shalt not bear false witness) and Buzz did nothing.

But oh well, as long as its not you they come for, all is good in your glass house (rolling eyes)

Remember this?

First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Agreed

I cannot believe that he got re-elected after the Tonya Craft trial people have a short memory. Doug Woodruff needs to ask for a recount.
