This looks like a clear case of police violating the 1st Amendment rights of a tinkerbell brother who was working on a story exposing the Bush administration. The cops knew a black fairy presstitute would be biased toward Viet Cong John and they arrested him. Case will go nowhere!

Local news anchor arrested

By TIA MITCHELL
The Times-Union

Darryl Tardy, a Jacksonville television news anchor, was arrested at a public park Thursday evening and accused of trying to get an undercover detective to expose himself, police said today.

Vice detective Tommy Herrington was walking down a trail in the woods at Westside Regional Park when he passed another man, according to an arrest report. The man began touching himself suggestively and looking at the detective.

After a brief conversation, the man said to the officer, "You're a cop, aren't ya," the police report said. The officer said he wasn't.

The man asked the officer to prove he wasn't a cop, the report said. Herrington asked if that meant exposing himself, and the man nodded his head yes. When the detective refused to expose himself, the man wouldn't talk with him anymore.

Herrington arrested Tardy, who lives in the 1300 block of Menna Street, about 5 p.m. Thursday. He was charged with offering for prostitution, a second-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.

Tardy is the lead investigator for First Coast News, the Times-Union's news partner. In addition his reporting duties, he also anchors Good Morning Jacksonville on Saturday mornings.

He joined First Coast News in November 2000 after serving as a reporter anchor and host of a talk show for R News in Rochester, N.Y.

Damn, you don't need gay-radar to know that fella's light in the loafers. Heck, even his picture has a lisp.

Police emphasized that prostitution is not a victimless crime. "The problem is, there are children there and it's not right for people to go there to act out their fantasy or what they think they want," said Public Information Officer Ken Jefferson.

The answer doesn't address the assertion. Prostitution behind closed doors, where there aren't children, is still illegal. Solicitation for sex in a public park could be criminalized even if prostitution were legal, and it would address the cop's concern.

Thank Heaven I do not work in television!!!! Tardy probably got tired of the "political correctness" at his station and in everyday life. He does what most men do...if they cannot get it at home they will search elsewhere to get it!!

This anchor's proclivities are, I'm afraid, typical of the mainstream. From Bill Sammon' book Misunderestimated:

As Times reporter Richard Berke, who is gay, explained: "Literally three-quarters of the people deciding what's on the front page are not-so-closeted homosexuals."

"This headline reads as if the person was the prostitute, and not merely soliciting."

Yes it does. The headline implies the news anchor is the 'ho, and then when you read further, you find he is also a 'mo. News writers need to clean up their act and provide accurate details.

That is one butt-ugly news anchor. He has what broadcasters call 'radio face.'

Seemingly-Unrelated-But-Maybe-Not observations:

1. Station website is News4Jax.com

2. "Tardy waived his first appearance in court...". He waived his WHAT? Some people never learn...

I report...you decide...

Sexual Freedom Activists Target 'Archaic, Unjust' Sex Laws

In addition, the project will examine laws against public lewdness, "which are routinely misused to persecute and prosecute people who participate in non-traditional forms of sexual expression."

"I've seen firsthand how the misuse of these [public lewdness] laws has ruined the lives of gay and bisexual men," said Matt Foreman, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
