You pointed out the difference between social justice and equal justice. Social justuce is based on your status in the community.

Josh:

It doesn’t matter if she IS known to the S.O. They still have a duty to check it out. You never know when it is a real incident. The dispatchers are acting like deputies and deciding who comes to your call and who does not. I have had it happen to me. Their job is not to decide, their job is to log and forward the call on to a deputy.

That’s a nice thought, now the department should make a list of all those that they deem nuts should be ignored. It is an easy way for them to cop out.

Here’s a different perspective. Does anyone know this woman personally? Is it possible that she has dementia, alzheimers, or some other disease of the mind, and she is known by the Sheriff for false alarms? This wouldn’t excuse them not coming out, but it could be a possible explanation.

never thought of that bill …..yes it was home invasion and also the other comment about the sheriffs can only do what barber lets them do is true also. the people of knox co. need to get he out of there how many more murders will it take?

well another example of knox county’s great sheriffs dept. the saying goes if you want to get away with murder do it in knox county. it seems there is a ring of truth there. where is the sheriff dept? this woman was assaulted in her home. even if not physically harmed she was mentally assaulted. where is the sheriff dept? they should have been out there looking for these guys immediately. since barber was elected its been the knox co. dave barber dept. what has he done for the citizens of knox co? NOTHING. this poor woman has to continue to live at her home everyday thinking if those men are coming back. and what of the information they got about her family? hey barber you going to wait until these guys really do harm someone?

All people need to do to ANYBODY’S attention in mt vernon is say…. “someone just shusshed a cat”.

Anything “cat related”, & they call in the national guard, & FBI. :)

could these have been the same fellows that shot a woman at her home near Bladensburg before she went to church? Don’t we owe it to Jeanie Davis to check out these fellows or tips? Another angel went to heaven that day….

This is not uncommon. I have lived in a lot of places, but law enforcement in Knox County is next to non-existent and like no other I’ve ever encountered. If you DO happen to get a deputy to come, he’ll tell you whatever you want to hear (just like a good politician), then get in his cruiser and never make out a report. Call again and get a different deputy who will tell you he is unaware of your prior call and tell a completely different story as to why they can’t do anything about your problem, get in his cruiser and never make a report.

Just another example of the worthless Knox Co. Sheriff’s Dept. I’m so glad I don’t have to depend on them anymore! Now if some kid was out after curfew they’d be all over it……….
