my town, also in kentucky, has one lawyer for every thousand people. most of the people I live around are either drawing a check from the government or are living off the settlement from a lawsuit.
not our entire state, just pikeville.
They don't need to fight to overcome the stereotype, they need to cease the behavior and lifestyles that gave them the stereotype in the first place.
Well, you know, the town
got off easy compared to
some localities . . .
I remember the case. And, as a KY resident, I watched part of the show.
City Confidential did a show on my KY town as well: the murder of Sheriff Sam Catron. They didn't paint Somerset in the best of lights either, concentrating on the drug trade and the older bootleggin' era. But, that was all part of Sam Catron's story. And, those "bad" items concerning Pikeville was all part of the story of those idiot kids and their killing spree.
If they have an interstate close by, there's a real good reason for so many attorneys. They set you up for speeding on the interstate and add about 10 or 15 mph to your total. That's put it as speeding plus reckless driving. You need an attorney to get out of that. Since they target out of staters, you don't have much recourse. This is also a major source of revenue for the cities and counties. I know because I was nailed in Williamsburg, Kentucky. Cost me $700 to get out of it.
There is nothing wrong with the Rebel Flag. I have one in my garage and the US Flag on my mailbox.
Now you have some idea how we California FReepers feel - but we get multiple daily doses!
Is Pikeville the town where attorneys loved to file class actions, "venue shopping"? Believe there was some article on the subject, American Heritage maybe.
The funniest christmas decoration I saw this year was someone who had put a large rebel flag up in their window, with Santa's face where the two bars intersect.
And, really, everyone else in the state makes fun of Pikeville too. LOL After all, there is a reason that they are in the last bastion of Democrat control in Kentucky!
That's OK. As long as they thank us every four years for our eight reliable electoral votes.
"The reputed ringleader of the group, then 19-year-old Natasha Cornett, had told her attorney she was the daughter of Satan."
Somehow, I believe her.
The spot they did on Atlanta, Georgia was just the opposite. I made downtown look a whole lot better than it is! I think they wanted to do a puff piece on the "New" South. Downtown Atlanta is nothing but government and coruption. If it wasn't the capital (i.e., govenment), it wouldn't exist.
Waiting for A&E to poke fun at NYC's gay pride parade.
Is it the county seat? If so, that would be normal.
Don't hold your breath. They will go get KY to sponsor the broadcast.
The dude who narrates City Confidential has the creepiest voice.
