Logging Dispute Update .. :)
As you may or may not know .. I have been in a dispute with a logging company ILLEGALLY logging down our private road and tearing it up so bad that my neighbors & I have had a difficult time getting in and out of the road to and from home.
Well, it escalated to where my neighbor was beaten with a 2x4 by the logging company owner, of which, I broke up, while 2 workers stood there and watched thier boss beat this man helpless!!
I was out doing yard work on Wed and my beaten neighbors wife called me and asked me to walk over for a few min, which I did, only to discover that the ABC Channel 11 News Team was standing there and wanted to interview me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK ... so I look like crap and was told I could not go "fix myself" as they wanted me to look like I normally would while working in the yard ... lol .. so there you have it ... I look like CRAP. Ohhhhhhh...and yes, the camera DOES ADD 20 lbs, of course, the baggy azz pants I had on doesnt help either!!!
Anyway .. let the camera roll .. :)
BTW .. the Sheriffs Deputies made the logging company pack up and leave YESTERDAY when they discovered that they were logging "Landlocked" property (land that has no right of way passage except through someone elses land) and the land owner had not given his permission to do that. They destroyed this mans property and took out about 123 trees to clear a road large enough to get their equioment down!! So we won .. if you can call it a win after all the destruction of personal & private property. Although, now WE have to take them to court to have the road repaired .. gotta start somewhere right? :) :)
I have been nominated the "unofficial community attorney" lol, cuz I was able to find out the land they were logging is landlocked, tracked down the property owner whose land they were using and presented the facts & evidence to the Sheriffs Deputy who called the State Attorney, who said ... TELL THEM TO PACK UP AND LEAVE IMMEDIATELY, and do not come back! Yay me!! .. :)
YES ... my neighbor is a big ol redneck country boy, but they are great people!! I KNOW they have my back .. and I have thiers .. :)

Write up ..
CUMBERLAND COUNTY (WTVD) -- A standoff between a logging company and property owners has turned violent.
The property owners said the logging company ruined the private road to their homes.
Homeowner Jaqui Loring said the road is nearly impassable.
"You can't get home," she said. "You are stuck in the middle of the road, buried up to your bumper. It's like this all the time."
Loring and her neighbors blame the mess on a logging company that's clear-cutting some nearby woods and their private road is the only way in and out for log trucks.
The soil is mostly sandy. Residents said they've asked the logging company to put clay down in the ruts, but said the logging company has spread hay along the road and that's hasn't helped.
Charles Renkle said he got beat up Monday by the logging company's owner, when he and some neighbors tried to block the road to prove their point.
"It escalated into a fight, after he hit me with the truck," he said. "The guy got out of the truck, pushed me and when he pushed me it escalated into a thing. He got a 2x4 and started wearing me out. Even after one of his helpers come over and was holding me and he still hit me with the 2x4."
The company's owner, Troy Willet, was arrested on Wednesday for assaulting Renkel.
Renkel said it was sad it had to come to blows. He said he didn't want revenge; he just wanted him and his neighbors to be able to get home.
"Fix the road back like it was," he said. "We are not asking for anything special. Nothing extra, just fix the road back."
