Hooper and the rumors about accident

sadly for you..this lie wont stick...unlike the truth about cindi..

But, while you are at it...why dont you remind everyone about the 7 illegitimate children he has...5 with women of different colors...and 2 with other men?

Or wring your hands in sympathy about the night he got 3 DUI's in a span of 2 hours while heading to an illicit internet sex rendezvous that was actually a sting operation for "to catch a predator"...

I think what is worse is that cindi knowingly allowed and encouraged this to be posted

It is true that he was involved in an accident. He addressed a caller this morning on the radio. He was taking his children to school and was speeding. He got distracted, looked up, and a lady pulled out in front of him. The patrolman said did not charge either one because both were at fault. He was very apologetic. For anyone to bring this up is crazy. Do you think he intentionally crashed into a car with his two children in the vehicle. Give Me A Break! And NO, I can't vote for either one and don't know either one of the candidates, but credit where credit is due. That goes for both of them.

My mother was driving the car one steamy summer day in 1955 when she got distracted briefly and left the road. My younger brother, who was 3 years old at the time, was killed in the accident.

My mother lived with memory and the guilt of that accident every day of her life for the past 53 years. She still remains a wonderful, caring woman. That tragedy did nothing to change who she is or what she stands for.

To the poster who created his thread: If you thought it really was rumor, why bring it up other than for cheap political gain? This is not rumor, but whoring yourself on the altar of dirty politics to bring up a non-political issue, then pretending you're above it all, is shameful.

And to those others who do wish to make a campaign issue out of a tragedy in which, apparently, NO CRIME WAS COMMITED - shame on you, too.

There have been more than enough despicable posts on The Cocklebur in recent days. I saw this post when it first went up and initially chose not to swim in the sewer with the originator.

Unfortunately, sometimes you have to wade into the crap to have any chance of cleaning it up. Now, I'm pulling myself out, showering, and going out to see if I can do some GOOD for society.

I do not know Mr. Hooper personally, nor do I have any stake in his or his opponent's campaigns, but I'm sure his intent, despite this past tragedy, is the same.

Have a nice day.

Actually, I am glad this was posted. And that the call was made. This rumor HAS been circulating in district 7 for the past week. My own daughter even heard it. As JD says, "Unfortunately, sometimes you have to wade into the crap to have any chance of cleaning it up." That is what is happening here.

Doug Hooper addressed it on the radio this morning. He was forthright and very definite about the matter.

The rumors can now be laid to rest. The CAVEs can stop their wishing. Yes, it was a tragedy. Yes, it did cause a woman injury. It was investigated by the police and an official report is on record, I would assume. He said insurance settlement was made. Unless there is more to this, this should settle things.

Queen, would you consider SCHP drawings showing Hooper hitting the victim in theintersection to be more? Would you consider evidence that Hooper transferred his real estate holdings to his in laws for five dollars, love and affection, just six weeks after the incident to be more? There's a clean conscience at work.The victim was still in a coma at that time. To this day she has never told her version of the crash, because she still doesn't speak well enough.Only her family can consistently understand her speech.
The vehicle he was driving absolutely blasted the victim's vehicle off the road and into a copse of woods and down an embankment. After that, Hooper's vehicle traveled another sixty yards. Fifty five miles an hour? Yeah, right! There's plenty more.

When all of our hearts broke for Doug Hooper, the lady in the other car, and both families this morning as Doug choked out his answer, we should all realize that this kind of fodder is why it is more important than ever to get Cindy Wilson and her disgusting gang of liars out of our political system.

Amen Shih! Mean people suck and have no place at the leadership table.

George, I agree with you. Will you now help the honest taxpayers get rid of the 'mean' people as you call them? Everyone knows them but to be sure, the mean people are: Larry Greer, Michael Thompson, Gracie Floyd, Bill McAbee and Ron Wilson.
Thanks for the idea George. Lets get rid of the Gang of Five next Tuesday.

Oh, Shih, your heart broke? Let's talk about heart break a little bit. How do you think that 12 year old girl and 10 year old boy felt when their mother was pulled from that car, already comatose? When the paramedics, (oh, there's some irony) were working on their injuries while they wondered if their Mom would live or die? How do you think that father and husband felt when he arrived at the hospital and found his family shattered and his life a shambles? I wonder how the victim's mother and father felt when they learned that the daughter who had worked so hard to become a nurse would never function fully again? Heartbreak? Bullshit!
You can cover for Doug Hooper all you want, but he took action to protect his ass and his assets within weeks after destroying one life and ruining a half dozen others. He told a state trooper that the victim had pulled out in front of him, then stopped to turn left. But this morning, he conceded "being distracterd by something." He conveniently neglected to mention the double yellow line that prohibits passing. He said he thought he might roll his vehicle if he had gone to the right. Do you know how fast you have to drive a full sized Ford SUV to roll it? And if he had, at least the consequences of his action would have been restricted to him and his family, and not an innocent woman and two children who never knew what hit them.
And before you ignore everything else I've said and attack me for saying it would have bneen better that his children be hurt, don't be stupid.It hurts more. What I will say is that his children, by his own words, were banged up a bit. Probably because their vehicle is about three times the size of the victims' vehicle.
You give him a free pass if you want to. But the voters of District Seven look at such things differently. Besides, which District are you voting in these days? Is it the same one you were appointed to the econ dev board from?

strong accuesations, dune. Do you have any, even one item, of documentation for these charges? It is easy to claim "SCHP drawings"? Is this rumor (heaven knows there is a ton of that in district 7)???

The children in both vehicles were victims. Doug Hooper sounded devastated this morning when asked about the accident.

IF he was guilty of poor judgement, so be it. We all make mistakes in judgement. Is there more to this, or is it just pre-election rumor-mongering?

Queen, you know my admiration for your fairmindedness. So I will tell you that there are SCHP documents that show clearly that the crash took place as the victim (and FTR, I am not naming her because of the simple fact that she would not realize it and deserves to have her dignity preserved) was in the process of turning left. Those familiar with the case have told me that she left her driveway, turned left onto Big Creek Rd., drove approximately forty yards and stopped, waitingto turn left, as she did each morning when takling her children to school. Witnesses said that she waited for an oncoming vehicle to clear her line of travel, then made her turn. In the middle of that turn, Mr. Hooper's vehicle slammed into her and changed her life,and that of her family, forever. My question is this: How does one expl

On this, milady, we must disagree, as you know.

Ah, traffic accidents. They happen. My dad was nearly killed in 2001 and I was nearly killed in April of 2003. My knee still isn't right. My dad still lives with pain and works through it, despite the fact his doc told him his x-rays looked Evel Kneviel's.

The two of us talk about our accidents from time to time. We hold no hard feelings against the other parties. In my case, some guy coming from a day of fishing lost control of his truck and trailer with his boat and ran me into a bridge. He fled the scene.

I hit that bridge hard, totaling a Ford F-150. I should say crumpling it. It was that guy or the bridge. I chose the bridge. I am grateful I did, because hitting the bridge proably saved my life and his.

It is fair to say my life has not been as it was in some ways. I am more forgiving of others than I used to be. I have never held any anger towards that guy. I never will. I am just glad he and his did not get hurt or killed.

Further, if that fella ran for office, I would be pretty pissed off if his opponent used my injuries to attack him. While I did not live in a a coma, and I don't know the family you are using to promote your political agenda, I think its cheap.

You know that Preston and McAbee and their gang don't care for me. I can live with that, one of those things that a brush with death gives you. But, exploiting a tragic accident for political gain is cheap and without honor.

I don't understand how a car accident that happened years ago has to do with a race for county office. If it was determined by law enforcement to be an accident and there were no charges filed, then it was just that- an accident, although a terribly tragic one. My heart goes out to the all families involved in it (especially the children).

I said my heart broke for Doug Hooper, the lady in the car and both families. This is a tragic even and could have happened to any of us. My heart breaks for the children from both families. I'm sure the children in Doug's car are feeling guilt for the distraction and the reason he was running late. I'm sure the kids in the other car feel guilt for the accident as well. These things happen. There was guilt on both sides as was proven by the accident investigation team and mistakes on both sides.

For whatever reason you and your hate mongers think that because a person makes a mistake in their lives they should quit living. Well, I say I am proud that Doug is still moving forward and I would venture a guess that the lady in the accident would say the same thing if she could. After all she is a mother and every mother knows and fears things like this happening. In cases like this it is hard not to get over taken by anger and guilt. I hope and pray peace for all families involved.

As far as the property transfer, anyone knows you cannot hide property in your own parents or inlaws name as it is not hidden. There could have been any number of reasons for this transfer including things like family trusts and life estates. Any judge can legally take that property regardless of who he transfered it to. If he wanted to hide it he could have done a much better job. You are trying to make fodder out of what is probably a normal transaction and in the meantime are really making yourself out to be a real horrible person.

You and your attitude in this are repugnant.
