FOR THE DAILY SOUTHERNER FOR THE DAILY SOUTHERNER The Daily Southerner Wed Jan 11, 2012, 02:47 PM EST

TARBORO — Dear Editor,

On Dec. 29th, 2011, the Daily Southerner had an article concerning a policeman crossing the white line and hitting another car. Evidently the policeman was not even reprimanded.

On Oct. 25th, 2011, a policeman stopped me on Howard Ave. and was very vociferous before the encounter was over the policeman was screaming at me. He stated that if I told anyone about this conversation he would see that I would lose my license. Also, earlier in the month or late September another officer stopped for running a red light, plain and simple. Both officers brought up the fact that old people suffered from dementia. I called the police dept. and talked to their supervisor about these conversations. He appeared not to condone their actions too. Both officers seem to think that because I have a web site, it seems to be problematic and it should be for Edgecombe County. But it is not for the police dept. to incriminate me because I have a web site. (www.cohiec.org). Or it is not for a policeman to say I suffer from dementia without a diagnosis. The medical profession and some of the law enforcement officers just perplexed at the old people and incapable of being able to have decent judgment, if I got a ticket and had to take the driving test again, the police officer should have to do the same thing. After all, I did not hit a car.

If the flags in Tarboro are not flying at half-staff, then they should be as a true patriot, hero, and Christian has died.

To The Editor:
Your coverage on the gun control debate was fair and accurate and I have fought against gun control my whole life. The sad thing is this time the American public is haunted by the ghosts of 20 innocent children and the claims by the proponents for assault weapons is making all gun owners look callous and uncaring.

One of the things I love most about returning home to my beloved Tarboro is escaping the grueling crush of northern Virginia and nasty Washington politics.

After Christmas, and after picking up a friend at his house near Hartford, Conn., we were bogged down in holiday traffic.
