Gary,
Like I said at the very beginning of my last post, "I SINCERELY mean NO
dis-respect". If you take offense by my content, it wasn't my intention,
however, it is your privilege and your counter-point was valid. So much so,
maybe the group should consider a meet at your town instead. Anyway, that's
all I have to comment, as you said I wasn't there.
Sincerely,
Mike Hudson 67-1600

I mean NO dis-respect to you, but
when occassions arise to advise others on social behavior and I hear
statements like: "These gals and guys are someones husbands and wives,
friends and neighbors" etc, etc. in reference to the offender, I become
"alert". Aren't the offended "gals and guys someone's husbands and wives,
friends and neighbors"? Are they not people too?
I see you try to justify stereo typical statements made by others and attack
my defense of the "office" of police officer, I find that too one-sided. I
did not say that the offender is to be justified, I said, don't attack the
group. Dialogue previously had wandered away from the one officer who seem to
have perceived problems, but you and I weren't there and all sides were not
presented. If he has an attitude, then it is up to those who employ him to
see if he continues on the payroll. If they are truly tourist friendly, then
Mt. Shasta has to be top to bottom, and the top needs to be aware of those who
are not good ambassador's.
If it becomes a major issue for the Datsun group, I'd suggest the venue be
switch to another location that is more open-arm, welcoming to the group (and
the money brought to the community). This is where you hit the Mayor and
Chamber of Commerce, is in the wallet and get this addressed right now, with,
if appropriate, a personal apology by the officer in question. We in our Town
have fired officer's who do not meet our vision, or mission for our residents
and visitors. CHECK YOUR ATTITUDE AT THE DOOR (and that goes especially for
Town employees).
