Comments on: VIDEO: Interview With Vernon Parker, AZ-3 Republican Candidate http://theothermccain.com/2010/04/03/video-interview-with-vernon-parker-az-3-republican-candidate/ "One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." -- Arthur Koestler Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:19:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rick Dhttp://theothermccain.com/2010/04/03/video-interview-with-vernon-parker-az-3-republican-candidate/comment-page-1/#comment-22156 Rick D Sun, 04 Jul 2010 07:38:48 +0000 http://theothermccain.com/?p=5327#comment-22156 Vernon Parker is the right person for the job. While the other keystone candidates Waring and Quayle are fine people, one has been at it for a while and never really caught fire, and the other is a family name. I don't know about you all, but I was kindof surprised that cwe could've gotten a Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton scenario after the last election. (Not that it would have been any worse than where we are now). I just think it's time to look beyond the legacy candidates. Parker has what it takes, he's a true conservative and he needs our support. Let's give it to him. Vernon Parker is the right person for the job.

Joe is not the Candidate. Mayor Vernon Parker is. Stay focused.

He was declared brain dead three days later and a jury awarded his parents $9-million. * Scott Norberg, a former Brigham Young University football player, died after detention officers shocked him several times with a stun-gun. According Amnesty International, Norberg was already handcuffed and face down when officers dragged him from his cell and placed him in a restraint chair with a towel covering his face for the electrocution. After Norberg's corpse was discovered, deputies accused Norberg of attacking them, overlooking the fact that he was handcuffed at the time. The county settled a lawsuit for $8.25-million. * Brian Crenshaw, a legally blind and mentally disabled inmate, suffered fatal injuries while being held in Maricopa County Jail. Crenshaw's family filed a lawsuit which resulted in a $2 million award. As in the Norberg case, Arpaio's office was accused of destroying evidence. * Richard Post was a parapalegic inmate arrested for possessing marijuana. He was placed in a restraint chair by guards and his neck was broken in the process. The event, caught on video, shows guards smiling and laughing while Post is being injured, which cost him the use of his arms. The now-qualrapelegic Post settled for $800,000. * Jeremy Flanders, an inmate at Tent City, was attacked with rebar tent stakes which were not concreted into the ground. Although these stakes had been used as weapons in a previous riot at the facility, Arpaio chose not to secure them properly. During the trial, the plaintiff argued successfully the sheriff and his deputies knew that prisoners used rebar as weapons and did nothing to prevent it. Flanders suffered permanent brain damage as a result of the attack. He was awarded $635,532, of which Arpaio was held personally responsible for 35%. * Charles Agster, a 33-year-old mentally handicapped man, died in the county jail three days after being forced by sheriff’s officers into a restraint chair and placed in a “spit hood” when he suffered a seizure.
