I do apologize for my absence the last 2 weeks and it is truly amazing what happens when you want to print things that have real people's names in it, if you need. The powers that be told me to do this under an assumed name when I started but I thought that the ravings of a lunatic wouldn't really matter (and they certainly don't now). 

I have nothing against S.C. after all any place that could make a movie like the Patriots, Color Purple and all. Did Francis Marion really kill Indians for sport, is that how he learn the swamps Mr. Fox? Charleston is the south in all its majesty; Atlanta doesn't have a beach. Black people from there know how to say saa. Sir is what your English gentleman will end his sentences with. Saa is what comes after yes in Charleston. They turn an entire river green for Irish pride day what about going downtown for free sample of chitterlings bisque for Martin Luther King's birthday. Any place that doesn't have snow gets my vote. I'm glad we don't have to worry about being politically corporate here at GetDetails.



There was a boy crossing the street in a place where he does often, maybe two times or more a day to go to the corner store. One day this boy got hit by a pick-up truck, he may have been careless but the car was going a little fast. It was an accident, but witnesses say he knocked the boy in the air. When police arrived they wrote the accident up without driver liability, without any Breathalyzer results, and without any fault to the driver. 

The boy was taken to the emergency room. We are not talking about a child who is too young to cross the street. I thought pedestrians had the right of way, but I know this isn't California. You ever step out in the streets in California, how about N.Y.? It's amazing how different the law is from right to left coast so tell me if I'm missing something here. 

And then there is what happens to those who don't want to be on TV. Who truly are afraid to get noticed because where would they work "people are gonna think I'm a troublemaker". You have to witness some surpressed attitudes to believe how they work. Fear of the unfamiliar is a road that single moms may deal with on a daily basis but add the legal system and they ain't going there! 

I don't know this lady and I'm not a reporter so why should she trust me? I heard this whole story from a friend, who put me in touch with her. You know I wonder if she wants me.
