The Piercing Truth

This is right from the dictionary and seems to describe Albuquerque, Berry and Schultz. Fascism (f ash ,izem) noun An authoritarian right wing system of government and/or social organization. (in general use) extreme right wing, authoritarian, chauvinistic and/or intolerant views or practices. Fascism tends to include a belief in the supremacy of one group over another, national, ethnic, especially social strata or monetarily; a contempt for democracy, an insistence on obedience to a powerful leader, and a strong demagogic approach.

Hooray for Hollywood! Is This the Ethel Merman’ Syndrome?

What exactly is the motive? Is Darren White hoping to be the next up and coming Hollywood Star? White seems to spend as much time in front of the camera as possible; the problem is, he is not paying attention to what is really taking place. Take for example, the recent updates and arrests of repeated felon, Kevin Gardner who has racked up over 138 arrests. White continues to go on television gloating and boasting about the police actions and about the courts releasing Gardner. Yet, it appears that White has failed the citizens of Albuquerque. Why doesn’t White spend the same time and vigor working on other matters? The citizens want be safe and feel safe. Why are the efforts placed on Gardner and not placed on police efforts into something more beneficial to the community; solving the Westside murders? The families have pleaded openly for closure and resolve, to no avail. TJ Wilham also took center stage placing Gardner on a pedestal and giving recognition that Gardner did not deserve. There is a process set in place, it may not be the best but it does work eventually. Even Gardner is entitled to bail under the Bill of Rights, under the Constitution of the United States. Allow the courts to do their job and allow the courts to decide the fate of Kevin Gardner. Giving this level of recognition (fame) to a known criminal like Gardner is disturbing to many.

This past weekend all the media attention was centered on a New Year’s Eve Roadblock. You guessed right; up on the lectern was White along with Chief “Schultzie” in the shadows. White gave a short speech. Here’s a question; should our Chief of Police; Ray Schultz have been at the lectern or White? Since the new Administration took office; Chief “Schultzie” has been in Darren White’s shadow. Maybe White is teaching our Chief how the “Big Dawgs” play. Was this because White knows more than the Chief or was it an Ethel Merman opportunity? You decide.

The Eye asks you once again, what is their real motive? Is this person yearning for that job in Hollywood, is he/she waiting for a big break, hoping one day to get that call from Spielberg? For all of our local Ethel Merman’s’ here in Albuquerque, you will need to drive yourself to Hollywood (it is only 665 miles away), but please make sure you leave your take home car and as Bugs Bunny says, “Bon Voyage!” (The Eye believes in some humor in these days).

Here are a few final thoughts and opinions. The action of our City officials should be based on what is best for the public and not on glamorizing one’s self by granting fame to a known criminal.

Although, some may resemble Ethel Merman or even think they are her; they are not. The Ethel Merman Syndrome is for Hollywood; not Albuquerque, New Mexico. Maybe Bugs would consider returning to Albuquerque and becoming Mayor. Then Albuquerque could really say, “Hooray for Hollywood!”

why does Darren always look like he going to a cattle auction with food stuck in his teeth? Darren and Fat TJ need the mayor to send them to refinement school or back to the hicks.

Hay EYE :can you check this out please.Rumor is that darren white is behind taking the cars away and he lied and said that the City Council would take 200,000.00 from the police budget if he didnt take the cars. We hear the City Council is pissed at darren. Any truth ?

Let City Council take $200,000 from PD budget, if in fact that's true. 200K ain't shit, given the yearly budget for APD is $149 million.

if anyone watched the council meeting they would have noticed the council members are frequently hostile with darren. darren is so cocky back to them its disrespectful at best. he hurts the pd's cause more everytime he speaks to the group. someone get darren a muzzle and let our police chief run the dept instead of a politician.

Anyone should know that if a spouse cheats for the affections of another, that person should be bright enough to realize that he/she will do the same to them.

wow barboa already thrown in the mix.
trolls don't die they just wait under the bridge.

and to the one who talks about cheating spouces. not all will cheat back. that person that is cheating is not bright so they will not realize anything except when the one they married/partnered is gone.
so to the cheaters: you may be cheated on too, or you may just be left. i chose the later. buh-bye there's enough "comfort" in apd to go around so the poor soul will find another soon. what really needs to be realized is that the one cheating with the cheater can't be trusted (who would cheat with someone attached?, not very nice!)and the cheatee should also know that if he/she cheated to be with you, what makes you think he/she won't cheat on you. so are the days of our lives. amen. the end.

Interesting that the Albuquerque Journal can find the space and ink to report on the APOA lawsuit but has yet to write word one about Brad Ahrensfield's filing in federal court. You know the one. It's the same lawsuit Ch. 13 and Ch. 7 wrote and posted on their websites before taking them down hours later. Why? As best we can tell because they discussed Mrs. White's role in the criminal investigation of Shawn Bryan. And that might prove embarrasing to the city's Chief Public Safety Officer.

How many marriages does it take to get it right.
Maybe 4 is the magic number; depending on the availability of the sweet fruit available. Plenty of pears, cherries, plums. Not too many peaches left.
