Perpetual Jim Garrett/27870 discussion thread.

What good is JIM GARRETT   ? I have read his post on 27870 before and all i see is a useless man who enjoys criticizing other people !!! Why does he want so much attention ? I see that all he is doing to the town of roanke rapids is tearing it apart . He uses people like chalie beaver. I see this week he's kissing his a-- for his wife use of the talk show on relay 4 life. He will also drag any body he can into something to make people look bad . What his the point of the signs, sign everwhere you look signs ? Does any of these people deserve to be belittle like that ? He is talking so much about the citys problems laying off city employes . But he supportS relay 4 life ! they take out over a 100,000.00 a year without any money to help the people in the roanke valley  Oh how about the youngs & most inexperience police department THAT HE TALK JUNK ABOUT ? great job rrpd on the fast work on the applebee's murder case . Well i got to go now talk some more later

Did anybody see where jim belittle roy edmonds on 27870 city council should be bracing for more criticism ? Man what nerve does jim have roy's wife (dorothy) if i'm not mistaken she is big into relay for life . Why would jim do that to that man ? what did roy do to deserve this criticism ? MAYBE JIM DIDN'T GET THAT SEAT? Who's next ? Who's  jim next victim ?

No...there is others, but we have beat this bush to no end man, dig up the past posts. Its kinda like beating a dead horse, no need to continue to do so.

Jim can keep going, there is nothing anyone can do tto really stop him to be honest with you, unless they went after him on the legal end of matters....and in today's times with blogs and forums with folks talking crap such as they do, about any judge will toss it out and let it go. If the law can't combat stuff on the street, they'll never follow up with internet stuff. All you can really do is.....do to others as they do to you when it comes to online disputes, or simply forget it and walk away. Usually folks get bold enough shortly they'll burn their own bridges with people and people don't believe a word they say or do.....not saying thats exactly jimbo's case, but thats my vision of the entire internet he-said-she said fiasco.
telg68

One more observation before we let this topic die out: Notice how he's always shouting out how everyone should be out doing the city's work?  "Paint over the grafitti yourself!"  I have yet to see a picture of Jim with a bucket of paint and a brush in his hand.  People would take him seriously if he'd practice what he preached.  He needs to start posting pictures of "Look what I did" instead of "Look what everyone else needs to do".

I'm so glad Jim was able to make things happen, you know, FOR THE COMMUNITY:

Quote:
Oh, yes! As Lemontrail says, let me "brag" a little more about what I did.

I wrote the city manager about the house on Jefferson Street and I gave him the address of the house and what I thought was going on. I suggested he have the appropriate authorities look at the property and investigate my complaints at their leisure. Now I have a record of what I did to help my community. I did not wait for a community watch sign to be erected. I did not wait for any external coaxing. I saw a problem and I acted on it as quickly as I could to take action.

Quote:
Arrogant is a word that small people often misuse use to bring confident people down to their level. I have become accustomed to hearing it because people fail to have interpersonal contact with others anymore... Let me explain the difference... Arrogance is having or displaying a sense of overbearing self-worth or self-importance. If you took a few minutes out of your busy life to get to know people before misjudging them, you would find that I (Jim Garrett) for the most part dress and act in a humble manner... I do display a sense of self-worth and importance and I feel confident in my judgment. I came from nothing without having the luxuries of public or private funded higher education. I started working at 15 years old and have not quit yet. I am self assured, confident and very often more right than wrong. My life represents what you "can do" if you just keep getting up when you get knocked down. I feel good about myself and I feel like I am standing on the top of the world looking at the view. I have a great life, wonderful and beautiful wife and enough money to pay all my bills. I never end up on the bottom... In essence I am happy and I don't have to apologize for liking myself or my lifestyle. I will win in every circumstance because I am not a loser, I am confident, I am a winner.




ar·ro·gant  (r-gnt)
adj.
1. Having or displaying a sense of overbearing self-worth or self-importance.
2. Marked by or arising from a feeling or assumption of one's superiority toward others: an arrogant contempt for the weak. See Synonyms at proud.
3. rude, insolent

hum⋅ble  [huhm-buhl]
adj.
1. not proud or arrogant; modest
2. courteously respectful
3. polite

Gee, I wonder which of these definitions apply to Jim? Rolling Eyes

I don't want to get into the Jim argument but it's not illegal to take reasonable expenses for administrative purposes for activities related to charitable organizations. If you don't take actual monetary compensation you can claim deductions on your taxes.

Do you often drop the F-bomb?


While swearing is frowned upon it is NOT going to keep you from getting into Heaven.  According to most Christian faiths all you need to reach the kingdom of Heaven is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.  Heaven would be pretty empty if everyone who ever said the F-Word was not let in.

First of all Ed or family member it is "and you think I'm stupid" and I don't think I said you were stupid. BUT.... When you enforce the rules on one and not all equally and fairly there is no difference. It does not matter what the rule is, the problem is that rule enforced equitably, fairly and justly on everyone.

If you guys really want to get under Jim's skin, I have a grand plot, its a toughie and would require some signatures, but getting into some programs I use we are using phpbb to build a chat-forum tool (paid version) for some websites.

Here is the deal, Jim and what Jim is doing is called adult cyber bullying and does fall under laws set in place, and phpbb is 100% against using their free forums in a manner which he is using it under. Bush signed a law into place before he left that no person can annoy another on a blog, forum, bb, or electronic message with-out using their real name. That is why Jim uses his real name, he is legal and legit. However, since Jim is the sole admin for his site, he is 100% responsible for anything that goes on it, and any members posting content that he allows to remain posted. So when concerned citizen or another one posts an annoying post directed towards another, politician or person and Jim allows it to be posted, he has broken the forum rules, as well as law set in place by GW Bush before he left office.

Jim swears by his blue host hosting services, he pays for website, but the forum section from phpbb is a free tool that is included in his hosting, since he is breaking the terms of service with phpbb we would need several signatures before submitting it to phpbb to build a case that he crossed the lines by allowing annoying posts directed to harm others to remain on his site. It would be reviewed, and at that time his "right" to have another forum powered thru phpbb community would be restricted forever.....however, I feel he would seek service thru other sources, you'd have to do the same thing again with that service provider.

I don't have the time to put it together, but if you need the contact #s and addresses for my phpbb contact person to start this, shoot me a PM and I will send you the info. Oh well, here it is here...the general abuse contact info.

You can call a guy named Tevita at the above 888 number and file a complaint with him, or send an e-mail to abuse@bluehost.com.

IF you own property that he has posted pictures of with-out your consent, please contact Tevita at the 888 number listed above, he works in the abuse department.

IF a comment has been directed to you that annoys, or in any form is a case of harrasement, call Tevita at the abuse department as well.

Another step you can take is to report his business to the NC Attorney General's Office for harassment if he has made ANY annoying post directed towards you or pictures of your property he has posted with-out written consent. Since his company website is www.27870.com and his so called community forum falls under his company website, his real estate company is endorsing the forum as it is attached to the company website. Not only is Jim responsible for anything posted on that forum, his real estate company is responsible for it as well, especially since the forum falls on theso called "company website."

By saying this kind of thing, you reduce yourself

Your are being self-contradictory.  By attacking another person because he attacks others, you are committing the same fallacy.

Try dealing with real issues and get away from the silliness of personal attacks.  Such behavior is the manifestation of one's hatred for oneself.

It is not just a viscious cycle, it is a toilet bowl, everything keeps spinning and spinning but it eventually all goes down the same hole, together.  And that is what you all are doing to our community.

I don't mean any harm, but since you are so "new" to the forums here locally in Roanoke Rapids, your input really means nothing. You haven't been attacked yourself by the guy over there....but keep posting, your days are numbered just like all the others. As others on here will tell you, Jon Baker, in his eyes was the walk of the earth, best thing since sliced bread, 6 months later he can't stand him, and jon is the same guy today he was a year before time. He jumps ships like a woman changes pocket books....he has no control or respect for others.

If you can tolerate having your private information posted on his website, including your name, address, unlisted phone numbers, and family members, pictures of you, your family members, and your property posted all over his site......then go jump in head first, just don't say w didn't warn you......and have fun protecting an adult cyber bully, it sure says a bunch about your character.

Jim's nickname should be "catfish". He is a bottom dweller that feeds on controversy and conflict. He offers no solutions, but instead criticizes others for their deeds and attempts to improve peoples lives. It is easy to be a "Monday morning Quarterback" when you don't have any "skin in the game".

Suetta, Emory, and Greg will be getting their dose of Jim's medicine before long. This time, however, I think Jim is going to fare a little worse than he did with the others. Code Enforcement is coming Jim. They have you in their sites, and I am going to enjoy every minute of it. This is going to be better than any act they can bring to the theatre, thats for sure!  Razz

If you don't like reading long comments, then jump down to the last two paragraphs and save time. Our city problems are complicated and often confusing. We cannot diverge and head in the wrong direction or follow the wrong leaders. We have to plan and control our lives but most of all we have to build teams and work together.

"The newest battle is starting small but it is growing everyday and has many locals up in arms and I think the city leaders are drawing lines in the sand"



I don't want to show my hand too quickly because there is talk among the crowd to take action!

Consider these facts...

The economy is bad...

Our town has more vacant houses than ever...

Our City Manager is taking a hard line on too many people at one time...


Property owners want change, they want to comply with the much needed improvements and the cleanup efforts but they have to be able to afford the cost of change or the problem could worsen. The extremeness of this overbearing hard-line cleanup efforts could not have come at a worse time financially. While I still support our new City Managers ideas and cleanup work, he is making ALL the same mistakes of every other leader in the past. He is not wise beyond his years. He is not getting people to share his burden, he is not looking for or getting community support. He is not selling his vision or even sharing it.

"FIX IT OR ELSE?" is not vision... it is not leadership!
It is tyranny!

What our City Manager is doing, he is angering to many tax payers all at one time. He is drawing the line and placing people on opposite sides. Our City Manager does not appear to be a team player or builder. Our new City Manager is Roanoke Rapids version of George Steinbrenner who was not known for building supportive teams but rather creating infamous feuds. The City Manager is not creating an environment where this city is working together fighting poverty and the ill effects of poverty on our community. Instead we are going to end up back in the same old place, a place where landlords are feuding with city hall and it's inspectors. We have been down that road before and no one wins!

In a comment from Donald Tart the minimum housing code inspector yesterday I was told I had to evict tenants or pay their fines. Tenants that do not clean up their yards and properly store their personal property are subject to fines and those fines transfers to the land owner if they rent their house. The city wants the landlord to become the the toy and lawn-chair police and punish tenants for leaving their toys all over the yard. In essence the city is not sharing responsibility for enforcement of the rules on the west side. Our city leaders want to return to the days when they play the blame-game and make landowner pay penalties that they cannot afford and in the end are not good for the city. The City Manager is throwing up his hands and blaming the poor people that live in those dirty, wretched properties and their owners. Those houses that are suffering from lack of care but the city and the landlords. Now the City Manager thinks he can change the environment without trying to understand what is happening there. Typical lack of insight... The lack of regular constant enforcement of their ordinances cause this problem over years now they want to property owners fix it in months.

Donald told me I have to send cleanup crews into peoples yards and on their porches to remove their personal property (illegally) or evict them or pay their fines. The city knows they cannot seize people personal property... so they are directing others to do their dirty work for them. Neither of which is a good idea. Some landlords will wait and make this issue go to court... while other will take desperate action and break the law by entering the property illegally and forcing changes that are morally and ethically wrong. "Self-help" and constructive eviction are illegal in North Carolina and I bet the city directing property owners to forcibly remove property illegally will eventually be found to be improper when someone pushes it into court.

What happens when a landlord who wants to evict a tenant illegally (self-help eviction) and this landlord is armed with one of those nondescript city letters pulls up with a dump truck and starts throwing away everything in the yard saying that the city gave me permission/orders to clean up the junk in this yard? I have received city letters without specific complaints other than to remove the junk. What exactly is junk to me? What is it to you? The answer might not be the same to me, you, the city or the courts. Who is going to be responsible for determining what junk is?

What is the incentive for the tenant to cleanup or change?

If we evict them, they will start jumping around from landlord to landlord again... How does that fix anything? The city could take a simpler more business-like approach of handing residents a hand written citation for furniture on a porch (if that is even enforceable) or they could take the unwise but easier direction and tell landlords to be more aggressive and deprive tenants of their personal property and take the furniture and place it in storage at the property owners expense. Why storage instead of disposal? Illegal disposal of others property might be seen by the courts as a criminal act.

What makes best sense?

This city refuses to take enforcement action as part of their responsibility again. The City Manager (ex-lawyer) wants to chase the deep pockets instead of violators... Property managers have been to yards in the past week and cleaned them up only to find new stuff this week. What changed? While dispossessing everyone on the west side of town may sound great to some... it is ludicrous. We need controlled change, we (the taxpayers) need to control and manage our changes.

The houses on Henry Street have been boarded up for years... Do we need to expand that policy of boarding up houses? How has the worked out for that area? How many extra boarded up houses do we need 10, 20 or 30? Places where houses are boarded up are by far the most crime invested areas in town... Punishing property owners who really have no options is not good for anyone. Property owners have to rent to anyone that will live in a crime invested area until the area has some sort of solution. Vacant houses are worse that houses with people. We cannot inflict more negative effect for this community....

The question is,

Should we work together and actually do something positive?

Or should we continue the failed policies of the past. Blame the landlords, make them the scapegoats and allow this town to fall into worse decay as everyone dances around the real problems that no one is willing to address or fix...

We are making wonderful progress. We have hauled off more trash in the past month than ever before. We have torn down more dilapidated building than ever before but now the City Manager threatens to tear down all his great work by taking the wrong direction.

If our City Manager cannot find a solution to cleaning up the yards that equitably distribute responsibility and cost between all party needed to fix this problem then he is certainly not the man to move forward with the next step... Returning the housing to a serviceable condition. We all know how important that is to the taxpayers of this city... It was once one of the advisory committees top priorities. Cleaning up rental houses yards is not the solution! It is only the beginning! We cannot be held hostage by people that throw trash on the ground and inspector fining the wrong people. Landlords cannot hire people to follow tenants around picking up their trash. We need a team, we need to work together, we need solutions! Not haphazard fines and penalties!

Flowerbed inspections and porch furniture inspections is power gone crazy.

Removing the concealment of underbrush and overgrown weeds is a safety issue. Tearing down dilapidated outbuilding that conceal crime is another safety issue. We need to fix crime and falling down houses before we make people cover up their building materials with plastic... Wake up Roanoke Rapids we are being distracted by numbers created to distract you. The city sent out 500 violations letter with an average of two complaints per letter, how much crime did that reduce? How much safer are we?

Building communities is the answer. We cannot punish investors. We cannot punish risk-takers... If all 500 fines were paid today, how much better would Roanoke Rapids be? 500 x $50.00 = $25,000 in fines and that is a drop in the bucket and only serves to anger the people we need to support us.... How much did it cost us to send all those letters? We need our city manager to throw away his shotgun approach of fines and penalties and take up his sniper rifle and search out the root cause of problems. We cannot slash and burn the entire west side of town at one time to uproot the real problems of this community. We need to identify smaller more manageable areas. We need to go in and remove the problems first! Then we can start rebuilding what we have lost, sense of community, safety and security.

500 x $500.00 = $250,000 would we make a profit with the manpower this effort has taken? How angry will the voter be? How angry will the landlords be? How cooperative will that make everyone?

the City Manager appears to be a pretty astute guy.  He's probably aware of the disdain some members of this board have for JG and vice versa.

I'm sure he reads both these boards and will take the above into consideration as he goes forward.
Roostercogburn

The city manager is an astute guy...and he is smart enough not to be bullied by someone ranting off on a message board. However, if citizens support the effort to make rorap a better place to live, then it is nothing wrong with letting the city's officials know you are behind that effort.

I see the old Jim will ever leave any thing alone . Roanoke Rapids  is a great place the  live . I have not met anyone who likes him or has anything to say good about him .

If anything ever happen to you Jim remeber this it will tell us HOW MANY SO CALL FRIENDS YOU HAVE

Anyone want to give Jim their name and info and save him a few minutes of research before he trashes you and your family? I wonder, what is Jim's definition of a successful website? A message board with 10 or 11 members with a thousand posts or perhaps his board where one member has made almost half the posts? I guess it things aren't working for you it's best to change course.

A New Direction for this Web Site and a New Policy!

I am heading in a new direction with this web site. After seeing what is happening with other web sites and even local news sources I will not allow any new anonymous accounts to be added to this web site. Anonymous comments that follow news stories are not always good for the community and often antagonize the community more than stir debate.

I want to stir debate and change
I do not want to antagonize the community that needs time to heal.


No changes for old users:

I will not change old users at this time because I think they have been responsible, reliable... the only new accounts that will be added will have to use a name known to me. I do not want to expose anyone's identity but new accounts will have to be a little more accountable and be more like the newspaper "letter to the editor" program.

Anonymous Emails are still OK:

You can still email me anonymously... giving me the chance to read your comment and decide whether to post it. I feel... I should decide.... what to post anonymously and if I should censor it. BUT, If you would like to register and post your own comments you will have to use a name known to me... You can still use your unidentifiable gmail, yahoo and hotmail accounts and disguise who you are but your identity will be known by me if you want to use this web site.

From this point forward, I will know who you are or you will be censored for content. I feel it is my responsibility to manage this web site more responsibly and this is an attempt to do that. If I am the only one making comments and posting... that is OK too!

I know... I will probably get some kickback from some people but I am hoping this spurs more people to see this web-resource as a true community resource with just a little more credibility to the people that read it. We have seen how unsuccessful anonymous web sites have been in this community and we need someone to step and be the first to censor the anonymous comments we often see on other sites...
