That a jailer can’t see someone is dying because it’s too expensive to bother with, that a poorly trained police officer finds it more efficient to kill someone wielding a knife because it’s “in accordance with Departmental policies,” and he can get away with it, that gang violence in the jail can go totally unchecked allowing an innocent victim to be brutally murdered, that the promotion of Lewis Morris Jr. actually stands as an endorsement of child molestation and torture… are all the exemplary results of the attitude that Tommy Battle embraces.

Huntsville’s Gestapo Strikes Again!
No doubt about it, knives can be dangerous, as evidenced by the recent beheadings of singled out westerners by Middle Eastern Islamic extremists. All the knife wielding terrorist needed to do the dirty deed, was a fixed blade knife about six inches long… and a hostage with a bag over his head, and his hands tied behind his back, and a dozen or so like minded henchmen with automatic weapons on stand by.
BREAKING NEWS: Future Skatepark Shootouts To Be Video Taped
The gun battle that took place at the Lydia Gold skate park, located on Cleveland Avenue in downtown Huntsville, occurred in broad daylight with dozens of witnesses. I guess Bill Kling thinks video taping a gun fight will somehow make it safer.
Tutwiler Prison: Plantation A Or Plantation B?
At face value, the entire situation is absolutely ridiculous and completely inexcusable. The facility isn’t really all that large. Recent numbers indicate that Tutwiler is currently housing less than 1000 inmates, and has a staff of about 100. That’s smaller than most of the hundreds of high schools in Alabama.
Casey Wardynski, HSV BOE, Schools Separate But Equal
If ever a picture was worth 750,000 words, this one is surely it. Nowadays it isn’t hard to get up a few Uncle Tom’s to make a picture like this, a shameless and unabashed echo of George Wallace’s infamous school house stand in 1963.
Meet Tommy O’BattleCare Of Huntsville
Today, when you go to the store to buy your goods and services, you will be met with an additional one percent sales tax. Last fall, right before Christmas, when no one was paying attention, the Huntsville City Council unanimously passed the sales tax increase – and today is your lucky day!
The Gestapo’s Convenient Cover
Will Culver, also black and a former police officer, has decried the behaviour of both officers and voted against their reinstatement, while noting that the council had little choice in Brett Russell’s case because of the precedent set just a week ago in the PJ Lee case.
Huntsville’s Gestapo
Growing up and living in Huntsville I’ve always heard it said: The police department is a Gestapo. For the most part, I just figured someone who done something wrong and got caught had become disgruntled. Over the years, however, I have slowly, sadly, and surely come to another conclusion. That’s based on a couple of […]
NCAC Folly And Corruption
Response to E. Chris Newlin, executive director National Children’s Advocacy Center re: Letter To The Editor; Huntsville Times, June 6, 2012 The bottom line, Mr(s). Newlin, is for whatever apparently ineffective good the NCAC accomplishes, it is already deeply involved in “politically correct” child molestation on more than one level. Apparently, you’ve taken your cues […]
Belabored Move Of DRM A Warning Sign
The impending move of the Downtown Rescue Mission has sparked a mean spirited and hate filled public debate. Some people apparently believe that some other people are less than human and must be relegated to an official caste without basic human rights, less dignity that a dirty wet dog, and nothing more nutritional to eat than “scooby snacks.”
A Living Wage For All Municipal Employees
Glenn Watson got pissed off and told him to quit if he didn’t like it, because he was afraid of an employee strike. Councilman Dr. Showers tried to intercede on the workers behalf, and Loretta Spencer called Richard Showers “uppity.”
TOCC TV – A Dwarf Star Is Born
Digging through some more of the totally defunct archives that usually get the term “morgue” because they are no longer available anywhere, and in fact maybe hard for me to even find because I’ve got computer files on 1.5″ floppies, cds, dvd discs, zips, flashes, portable backup discs, crashed hard-drives, and more than one working computer – I finally found the very first page that was the inception of TOCC TV.
