Southern small town becomes wild west
Huntington Examiner ^ | 11/17/2009

Walterboro is a small community along Interstate 95. It sits about one hour north of Savannah, Georgia. It is a small town typical of the south. It belongs to a section, of the part of South Carolina, known as the Lowcountry. It is 45 minutes from the ocean and has its own watery areas,swamps. When you think of small town America, Walterboro is a place you may think of. But the last week, Walterboro has become like LA.

The campaign for gun control is being stepped up.

Too many Obama voters. Can’t shoot straight and hit bystanders.

I can’t access the site from work, but the opening paragraph reads like it was written by a sixth grader doing a book report.

Small town violence is usually more personal, I’m supposing that’s the crux of this article or was it “gang related” as alluded to in the opening paragraph?

Working in a small town in Eastern North Carolina. Shocked at how much cocaine and other drug use there is. People drive FROM Wilmington to this area to buy coke. Reason? Whole lot of inner city people moved back to the area to be with family, and transported all their problems with them. Drugs, AIDS, gangs and the welfare lifestyle.

This “small town violence” appears to be your run of the mill negro on negro violence. The only thing novel about it is the location.

And the timing (concentration) of the incidents. Having deer hunted around there for over 15 years I can tell you this is out of character for Walterboro.

"And the timing (concentration) of the incidents. Having deer hunted around there for over 15 years I can tell you this is out of character for Walterboro."

Yeah. That is the town that's been running legalized theft for many years. It's notorious for running speed traps that catch just about everyone who doesn't live in the area and know the treacherous way they have it set up.

Want proof? Pick a day, drive by and take pictures of the out-of-town/out-of-state license plates of the MULTITUDE of cars sitting in the grass parking lot ouside of the make-shift ram-shackle building sitting on the main drag through town. Inside you'll find it filled with folding chairs to seat the latest crop of suckers (daring to contest their ticket) whose "case" will be heard by the local magistrate and his cronies sitting behind a long table in the front of the room.

The racket they run in that town is one for the history books.

I worked with a guy from Walterboro last week, and I couldn't understand a thing he said.

You used the word ‘negro’. Are we allowed to do that? I thought it was decreed that its either Black or African-American.

You better watch out! LOL!

It could be worse, he could have used the English version of the word.

the Walterboro police arrested an alleged suspect in Monday's shooting,

"Alleged" suspect? Does the author not know that that is redundant? Let's water it down some more and say "possible alleged suspect." Sheesh.

Guess being a ‘Yankee’, as they call anyone from north of the state line, I’ve just been lucky.
