not so wise one, I'd rather forget........
As for the wise one. He should not have used a fallen officers wake to campaign for sheriff. It was sickening and made people behind him step out of line. The few people in front of him that overheard him shook their heads in disbelief and came very close to asking him to leave.
AND, Mrs. Forgionne was already wearing the medal when he got there.
Shameful, shameful and embarassing behavior and he owes an apology. No excuses.

My husband refuses to lower himself to your level and I am sick to my stomach to think you would say this.......Dennis was never in a line, other than the viewing line, and certainly didn't say anything to anyone then and never campaigned as he didn't even speak to anyone other than Mrs. Forgione, Sheriff Morris and some BSO deputies! There is no way Mrs. Forgione could have received the Medal of Honor other than the President of the American Federation of Police and Concerned Citizens presenting it to her.......which he did! How dare you insinuate something like this about such a sensitive issue!!! He made sure all the campaign signs were removed from the car before leaving the house, so as not to offend!! You are outrageous and dispicable to insinuate this. Excuse me while I go throw up now!!!
If anyone doubts my husbands demeanor, check with Charlie Morris or Colonel Coup. Also, after the viewing, my husband had the honor of sitting with Mr. and Mrs. Altman whose son had also been killed in the line of duty!!! I am quite sure they would willingly attest to his professionalism also.

yes, all are HUGE improvements over Ralph...
However, from what basis do you base your assessment on? I agree with some of your review, but question others... Just asking?
I believe that you have donned your "rose colored glasses" on this one.:shock: Mr. Adkinson is often personable, but does not react well to opposing viewpoints and does not stay in the conversation when someone questions him. :angry: Mr. Cooper is somewhat arrogant in groups but is engaging one on one and will tolerate disagreement. ;-) Mr. Cornman can be charming but is arrogant and does not like questioning.All three could use lessons in dealing with the public from what I have seen.
And of course all three are a huge improvement over Ralph.

This is a fact that should have been realized long ago. Things are VERY different here... I know you and Dennis know this, I am not sure that now is the time for us to all realize it... Your phrasing of "some" should encompass more than what the word implies. I know that Dennis is doing what he believes in. It does not mean others c it that way...

I think this thread has convinced me Dennis Wise is the Wise choice. I've read his qualifications and backround and they are exemplary. While I'm at it, what is your opinion of the sheriff's race, Seeker1 and why? You obviosly have some stake in the game as your post regarding Dennis Wise's conduct at the wake of the fallen officer certainly indicates such. BTW, it was an obscene, malicious and unnecessary post under any circumstances. Also, I will believe Mrs. Wise's explaination of what transpired long before I believe yours. As SJ says, "just a gut feeling". The main drawback cited to the Dennis Wise campaign is his lack of a college degree. The amount of education and courses he has taken more than make up for this. College degrees, except for certain professions are highly over rated IMO. People can do quite nicely without them unless they are a physician, jurist or a few other professions. But, as a nation, we have grown to think that an intelligent person cannot evaluate, comprehend or react positively unless they have a college degree. It is my conclusion that we would all be much better balanced if not so much emphasis was put on what and how many degrees one has.
fact
Wise was in fact in the very long line for the viewing as you very well pointed out.
He introduced himself to the person in line standing behind him saying Im Dennis Wise, Im running for walton county sheriff.
The gentlemans response was thats nice, I dont know enough about your county or sheriff.
Dennis said we have fifity to sixty thousand people in walton county except when the south end is full of tourists, then population really grows. But thats not including what seems like 10,000 mexicans.
The two people now standing behind them left the line and went to the rear shaking their heads.
There was one person standing in front of Dennis, me.
I was really disappointed in him and partly in myself for not asking him to stop. The woman in front of me turned and "shushed" in his direction and he must have heard her because he went silent.
You say you have read his qualifications and backround and find him exemplary.
This site is a wonderful place to get and give information. Allow me to suggest something from one of the better recent posts.
"Read more than what is hand fed to you". I encourage you and others to keep checking. You may all be surprised sir.
As for my opinion of the sheriff race. I always enjoy a political race.
Do I have a stake in the race? Heck YEAH! I think the current sheriff stinks and is not much different than the one before him. I live here. Im invested here. My entire family is here. I plan on staying here. I hope Walton County grows enough to help keep everyones children here. Thats my "stake here". I have yet to make my mind up on who to vote for though.
My comment would have been the same for anyones behavior. Is he evil, no, not at all. Was it bad judgement, I think he got carried away. Your more upset by the fact I brought it up than the actions of a candidate seeking the most powerful position in the county. I dont care if you believe me or not. I was there. Others were there. You would argue with anyone else who was there and witnessed it too I suspect.
I agree on the education point you bring up. Charlie Morris was a school resource officer prior to being sheriff. Hes done a great job. Diplomas dont always indicate ability. Performance based evaluations carry more weight than acedemic diplomas. Though both are very close. Succesful experience is more valuable over a classroom.
My post is far larger than intended. Support who you wish. But I still encourage you and everyone to check, verify, validate, ask questions and demand answers.

Seeker1 part of verifying what someone states as fact in a situation as the one you describe is to have a second party verify what happened.
I'm not doubting you or what you are saying happened and it very well could be true, but until it is verified, it is hearsay. Right now it is very much a 50/50 split as to what happened. In my experience of a he said/she said (this is no indication of posters identity just a common term for example purposes) situation it is best to ignore the statement and focus on other verifiable issues.

good deal
Thank you for the kind response Andy A.. I will continue to enjoy exchanges in the future with all who participate.
SWGB, I can. I was not aware that I was able to until this evening reading my personal e-mail. But at this point it will serve no purpose.
I will try to be more sensitive to issues I bring forward. I'll make an effort to be more considerate to family members and others who may get too upset. If necessary I will pass on bringing things to light and leave it to others. Sometimes its not worth the cost, no matter what the issue.
