Pollyanna Post
Sadly, no hope for Hankey, though.
Yeah, Wyatt, I know what you mean about that stimulus check. Shrub was originally lukewarm to the idea, you know, but both the Democrats and the Republicans in Congress, desperate to pander to the voters in an election year, approved it overwhelming. Blame Congress.
The Democratic majority in either house of Congress there could have stopped it in a hurry if they'd wanted to. Instead, that's now $160 billion of that $490 billion annual deficit they're crowing about now, and they want to blame it all on Iraq. That's both hilarious and infuriating to realize how clueless some of our elected officials really are. 
well like I've said before, the easiest way to renovate Homeland Park is to bury it in 25ft of dirt pack it down and start all over, or just turn it into a landfill, and judging by many of the yards, it's already on its way to becoming a landfill.....
ZN.....another faithful and lifelong patron of the finest Anderson has to offer. Can I offer you a seat next to HANKEY on the short-bus ride to DEET-Deee-Deee ville? I hear the next stop is France ( I'd love for you both to do that "road trip" over the atlantic) Your combined IQ is somewhere around negative-10 regarding whats right and whats needed. But then again, thats what happens when you download too much porn & listen to Rikkey Drivel.
JD, have you caught wind of Obama's suggestion of a windfall tax on profits, in order to create ANOTHER stimulus payemnt ( called an energy rebate)?
Actually, Wyatt, the Federal government rakes in more off of us on gasoline sales (about 47 cents a gallon, I think) than the oil companies do. Why not just use part of that for another "stimulus" payment if they think it's that important?
Wait, wait, I know. That would cut down on the amount of money they have to buy votes later.
"Your combined IQ is somewhere around negative-10 regarding whats right and whats needed"
That's funny as hell coming from someone who's wasting his time pissing up a rope....When are going to figure out that HP had a disproportionately high amount of human filth for inhabitants? Now, the only way to fix that is to give them a one-way bus ticket, or a large caliber handgun round. Until you resolve the human filth problem nothing will change in HP b/c those people aren't in being anything but filth. Truth sucks don't it?
Mr. Hankey is going to just knock over a moble station because he needs the cash now. Mr. Will send back his NRG rebate check when it comes in.
Hell thats the same think Obama would do. he just offerd us a $1000. bribe.
what a jerk off.
ZN,
Usually I find a modicum of truth to your posts, sometimes brutally so, even if it is true that HP DOES have a fair amount of low-lifers residing here. People have to live where they can afford it, and with a larger proportion of elderly and disabled here it's easy to see that. But also this area has been a haven for dumping off sex offenders and former felons recently released ( due to cheap housing). THATS where we became involved; seeing the elderly become victims and shut-ins due to rising activity and crime against them. I personally take offense at your implications that WE are wasting time trying to change for the better the conditions and inhabitants living here. Just ignoring the problems, or shrugging off as wasteful thinking, is the root cause of the degeneration of society and the reality of gang intrusion, drugs and prostitution entering an area. Hiding behind the blinds and poking your fingers in your ears to avoid the sights and sounds does not make them disappear. Are you so blind as to not see this growing problem is NOT limited to Homeland Park? You havent driven through Powdersville/Piedmont, near the fairgrounds, the alphabet-streets or even Pendleton lately have you? Or is your solution to bury the entire COUNTY??? This exact response ( or lack of one) from the public, all across America, is why illegals swarm to come here, why drugs get sold in your front yards, why gangs and boomba-boyz drag-race up and down the roads without fear of someone calling the law, and why neighborhoods end up looking like a Jeff Foxworthy video. I know we are the exception to the rules, but WE have to live here too,and are not willing to let scumbags and dregs be in charge when there are solutions before the entire town turns into East L.A. or Harlem-south. Just saying "kill 'em" is not a realistic solution unless you're a towlie-ban member. Even we thought the problems would disappear, until the gunshots, broken into homes and tagging started to appear closer & closer to home. Coming from a large city, I know when the tides are shifting and my sandcastle is likely to be swamped over.
It takes an idiot to make the village complete, and judging from replies here I think I know who qualifies for those slots. I would only hope you would rather be part of the solution instead of the excuse for the problem.
"Hiding behind the blinds and poking your fingers in your ears to avoid the sights and sounds does not make them disappear.

Actually I have.....Although not by choice....
You came from a large city, uh? I used to live in the murder capital of the country, and I'm far from blind, I'm most likely more in tune to the gang activity going on in Anderson than the rest of you, and that's the reason I pack heat. The type of activity and level of violence here is 7-10 years behind whats going on where I used to live. Formally living IN, not around or near, the the nations murder capital, I came to the realization that because of the overall degeneration of society in urban and psudo-urban areas that I was going to have to take care of myself and my family and that I can't rely on the police or others to do so and my family comes BEFORE my community. Notice now that I'm no longer there, not just because of the crime and the overwhelming infiltration of human filth, which is the direct result of democrat sponsored social entitlement programs that remove all personal responsibility for one's life, but also because I'm not going to have my Constitutional rights limited by the acts of degenerates. Now I'm happy that I live in the country, I can see the stars at night, we're safe out in the yard, I don't have any neighbors having loud parties dealing drugs or beating the hell out of each other. I also now have the right to defend myself and my family if needed, and I'm very prepared to do so if needed. Now, if you live in a shitty area, MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE. Move somewhere where they're not comfortable, that keeps them away from you. Fighting them directly isn't worth the effort or the risk, and no I'm not hiding behind the blinds, I solved the problem in the safest manner for myself and my family, you might want to as well. You know, you don't HAVE to live there, there are much nicer places out there. Bottom line, you will not be able to change their behavior, so the only solution is for you to leave or run them off forcefully, and your old and don't have the cohonies to do the latter. Once a neighborhood gets to the point where there are more of them than there are of you and they're willing to break the law and you aren't, there isn't much you can do anymore. Help from the Sheriff? Mind you he is a politician, he'll tell you whatever you want to hear to get you're vote, then divert the resources to those who pay more in taxes and give bigger donations. Now, you can be happy else ware, so why be miserable fighting them when you can be happy and safe somewhere else and leave them exploit and kill each other without your worry? Neighborhoods change, and people move in and out accordingly, it's the natural progression of things. HP is never going to be what is was before. The "good 'ole days" are over, you're old, the 50's are long past and things are never going to be like they were before, and that's just a fact you're just going to have to accept. Idiots piss up a rope, smart people leave. Oh yea, drugs deals may be going down in your yard, around here rif-raf, scum, Jehovah's Witnesses and salespeople and encouraged to leave by the nonthreatening display of overwhelming force...I love living in a state where I can walk all over my property holding a AR-15 and its 100% legal....Also wanna free up EMS and the Sheriff's dept then Napalm Keys Street.....And the last time I was in Powdersville, 2 days ago, they were still building $250K+ houses....
Want further proof that the truth hurts? Wyatt and friends like to give thumbs down to ideas and truths they don't agree with....
The one true thing good about Anderson County is its people. They are courteous and hard working and do the best they can for themselves and their families. It is hard not to like this place if you take the time to look past the political players and get to know the people who make up the county.
ZN,
As usual, your response reeks of hatred, bigotry and self-centeredness. Must suck to be a kissing cuzin to HANKEY's way of simpleton thinking. My age has nothing to do with the issues of what we propose or do. The only "thumbs' down" is to jamokes like you who tout stereotypical outlooks on ALL residents of an area. Guess living in Powdersville would make you a meth-cooker( there's PLENTY of single-wides near those $250K over-blown sandlots), living in Stonehaven would make you a whore, living in Belton makes you a metal-thief, living in Iva makes you a sheep-f*cker, and living in Clemson....well then you ARE a loser! Luckily I DON'T live near you, because if I witnessed some jackass walking around his yard with an AK/M4 or similar weapon, I would call out the white-coat brigade ( of course after I took a few photos as proof of how redneck'd the South is) to have your @ss removed to a nice, safe and secluded room with NO view. And you say I'M paranoid and "old"...look who seems to be a reject from Full Metal Jacket! sheeze
Just because reactionaries like yourself resort to running away in fear and exposing yourself to exhorbitant mortgages for a insanely-small plot of land in some other future sh*thole because nobody stood up for the neighborhood makes you the bigger imbecile than me. Having exposure to big city gangs and how the escalation occurs, it's best to take action before it's beyond control. Working with law enforcement instead of just whining like a Georgia Bulldog is how to get things done. Currently we have excellent officers who are working to correct the issues, but have a severe lack of committed citizens willing to drop the remote and get off their fat @ss to assist. I've had this same conversation with some other smarmy simpleton living over by the Sheriff's department, who said she lived in such a safe and secure environment, till we pulled up 6 convicted pedophiles, eight registered felons on parole and dozens of calls for B&E's, CDV and other property crimes within a 6 block radius of her dumm @ss. And her stoopid self is paying 6 times what I do,and for lessland and nomore security than me. DUh-h-h-h!
But in your case, As Monty Python sez...run-away-run-away!!!
Sorry I used multi-syllabic words there Pre... guess I should stick with simple language that bigots, naysayers & general haters can easily understand. Words like RUN, MOVE, HIDE, HEAD in SAND,, KILL, QUIT, WASTE your TIME, OLD, etc. Shoot, I can even use smaller curse words if you please......I see others already have :)
What you don't get Wyatt, is that you're going up against forces that you cannot compete with. How do you suppose you're going to address the thug problem in HP when the media and record companies glorify thug behavior and people allow themselves to be brainwashed by it? You gonna open Wyatt's re-education camp? There is no way in hell a bunch of thugs are going to respond to your HPTF over the influence of "Thug Records." Furthermore, your defensiveness toward comments doubting your success only reveal your own personal doubts about the success of your HPTF. Someone who is confident wouldn't be defensive about their actions or their future success. Confidence is why people succeed in their endeavors, those who harbor doubt, like you have shown, are doomed to failure.
"Currently we have excellent officers who are working to correct the issues, but have a severe lack of committed citizens willing to drop the remote and get off their fat @ss to assist."
Yes there are some very fine officers, but most people have realized that their involvement may raise safety issues for themselves and their families, or that its just a lost cause.
"because if I witnessed some jackass walking around his yard with an AK/M4 or similar weapon, I would call out the white-coat brigade ( of course after I took a few photos as proof of how redneck'd the South is) to have your @ss removed to a nice, safe and secluded room with NO view. "
Now you've shown your true colors Mr. anti-constitution socialist. I'm well within my Constitutional rights and the local law to carry whatever I want on my personal property, my car, or my person. Furthermore, you don't have the authority to call out the "white coat brigade" or have someone who isn't violating any law locked up on your whim. Wanna come over and try that jackass? I'll have you working for me for the rest of your days after its all said and done. Now, I haven't run in fear, I've created the financial means for myself and my family where we can live somewhere safe on a nice sized piece of private land w/o a overblown mortgage where there isn't any scum nearby and the nearest sex offender got popped for having sex with his 15 y/o girlfriend when he was 18, hardly a threat. (How many of you are married to someone 3 years younger than you?) Sounds more like you're jealous of others who have created the financial means for themselves to do well and keep their families safe while your stuck in a dump. Welcome to capitalism.
Welcome to "capitalism."
watch out some call that a dirty word.
Also wyatt, unless you've been reading and buying into Marx, I don't get your obsession where you think people are crazy, evil and should be locked up if they don't want to share their property or the financial resources they've earned with people to whom they owe nothing. Also has it ever occurred to you that if you're walking across my property and trip and fall you could sue me and possibly win even though you tripped over your own feet? Or what if some kids trespass to go swimming and drown in my pool while they were violating the law and their parents try to sue? Too many people want something for nothing or money for their own stupidity. I don't need that BS headache so strangers aren't welcome here and I'll let be known.
While I fail to see the coorelation between Capitolism and sex offenders ( or those sleeping with 15 y/o as you put it), ,or how being witness to some numbskull wandering about the neighborhood with an assault weapon has anything to do with my anti-constitutionalist views ( whatever you perceive them to be, ya commie!) I still stand firm in the fearful nature of yourself, rather than our reluctance to be quitters. Unless we've been invaded by BORG, resistance is NOT futile. We are making grass-roots efforts, not full-scale assaults with SEAL teams and occupying forces. I still haven't read where i SAID anyone SHOULD BE "LOCKED UP for not buying into the idea that change CAN be realized. Maybe it is crazy, but I have firm hope that not all humanity is sh*t. Running into the woods may be great for you, but we have ties to this community, have a nice home we've worked hard to improve,and generally like the elderly we work with in HP. So cudo's to you & yours for runiing away with arms flailing! Never thought I'd see anyone who would be proud to be a chicken-sh*t. Just cuz you got bucks doesn't make you a better class of human. On the contrary, it just means you have no social inklings for a better society as a whole and enjoy running down those who make the efforts to do so. As long as the bunker is well stocked, the MRE's up to date, and the sheep's butts are plugged, all is well with ZN's doomsday plan. Oh wait, am sure you drop some quarters into the church tithe once a week, so cancel the knock against your being a great caring Christian. ZN has saved us all from ourselves! But who knows, soon Iva & Piedmont will be overrun with our toss-aways from Homeless Punk.
As for your inference you " can carry whatever, wherever, whenever", unless you possess the laminated green SLED-approved license like we do, I think you may be in for a shocker. Because having a loaded weapon in your vehicle is NOT legal. Weapon and ammos shall remain seperate from each other. Carrying an unlicensed weapon on you person without legal means is also illegal. Having an assault weapon within 250 feet of a roadway is NOT legal under ANY circumstances unless being transported to one's home or vehicle. Pointing & presenting a weapon is also a crime Adolph. Scaring your neighbors by showing off your pistolas doesn't make you any less of a hoodlum than the gangsta's tooling around town. Ive heard of more yahoo's shooting THEMSELVES than criminals down here!! Just remember, the bullets come out of the HOLLOW end....
Discretion is the better part of valor, or is that too Marxist for ya?
Actually, Wyatt, with all due respect, it IS legal to have a loaded weapon in your vehicle. You can have a loaded handgun within reach as long as it's in the glove compartment, and while I question the wisdom of doing so, deer hunters and others carry loaded rifles and shotguns all the time (they need to make sure they don't also have a spotlight, though, because if they do they can be charged with hunting deer at night even if they weren't even thinking of doing such a thing.)
I don't believe it's legal for a private individual to own a real assault weapon at all without a special Federal permit, but if you're talking about those "assault-STYLE" weapons under the idiotic definition of "assault weapon" the left likes to use, well, I'm not sure where that lunacy stands at the moment legislatively.
You are also allowed to have a loaded weapon on your own property, provided you haven't lost that right through something like having been earlier in life convicted of a felony. And, if you or a family member feels threatened ON YOUR OWN PROPERTY, you no longer have a "duty to retreat" in this state in the face of that threat. However, you might be asked a few questions about the real or perceived threat. You can't shoot a stranger on your property simply because you don't like his tie.
In any event, you probably shouldn't shoot FROM your property at someone who is OFF your property, unless he's shooting at you at the time.
"Pointing and presenting a weapon" may or may not be a crime, depending on why you were doing it. If it's the first step in defense of yourself (intimidation of a potential assailant), you're cool. It's the equivalent of that "HIIII-YAAAAA" yell you use in karate, and a little .38 S&W can scare off a big thug in hurry unless has one, too.
On the other hand, if you're just trying to scare a bunch of kids off your lawn after then came to get their stray football, you may wind up answering those questions while handcuffed.
Otherwise, Wyatt, carry on. You're doing fine. 
This has come up before with carry in vehicle and proper proceedures. I asked the duty sergeant regarding your answers JD, and the response was this.
A handgun may be carried in your vehicle provided the following are met: 1) the weapon is unloaded; 2) the ammunition is out of common reach; 3) if that is not available, the weapon may be loaded and kept in a lockable container or device such as gun safe or other security device to render it not easily fired.
