Andre Knight a racist? maybe

From the Telegram,

I am calling to make people aware that Andre Knight recently outdid himself recently at the Nash-Rocky Mount School Board meeting.

He was standing up in the middle of the meeting and singing “We Shall Overcome.”

I hope someone was there from the newspaper.

Can we find out what the root of his problems are?

but its the comments, that are interesting.

First off Andre used claims of racist, to get his seat on the Council, He only owns the house in the district that he represent, he didn’t live there at the time..

now the comments,

“he is one for the leading racist in Rocky Mount. Everything about him has to tie into racism.

Now this one I like,

Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a good overall diagnosis for this racist clown.

Specifically, Andre could likely be classified as a "Fanatic narcissist":

"An individual whose self-esteem was severely arrested during childhood, who usually displays major paranoid tendencies, and who holds on to an illusion of omnipotence. These people are fighting delusions of insignificance and lost value, and trying to re-establish their self-esteem through grandiose fantasies and self-reinforcement. When unable to gain recognition or support from others, they take on the role of a heroic or worshipped person with a grandiose mission."

It’s time for him to go..

Reader wonders where Rocky Mount places in the 50 safest cities list. Really

From the Speak Up,

I read with interest the news article on the safest cities in North Carolina and noted the paper featured only Nashville and Tarboro.

Rocky Mount was quite obvious in the omission from the article. I wish the paper would publish what Rocky Mount’s standing is in comparison with the others.

Editor’s note: The list of North Carolina’s Safest 50 cities was put together by a company called SafeWise. Rocky Mount did not make the list.

Ok, don’t know who called this speak up in, but they need to take off their rose color glasses and smell the roses.. Rocky Mount isn’t as safe as it once was. Anyone who lives in or around the area knows this..

We (city of Rocky Mount) was listed in the top Five Worst Crime cities in the U.S. Crime is every where in our city, and the RMPD aren’t doing enough to stop. The only crime they are really working on, are those that they can get Federal money to fight, i.e. drugs..

Where else in NC can you watch people with shopping carts push 1.5 tons ac units, sinks, Copper wiring, pipes and fireplace mantel down the road and not be stop by the cops.. I’m sure as shit; knows that, they aren’t buying these items at the local Piggy Wiggly..

Council to discuss event center funding

While an official decision on the proposed event center has not been scheduled, Rocky Mount City Council could vote Monday to move forward with plans for funding the more than $42 million project.

“I made a motion that was seconded in the past that we empower city staff to pursue funding for the event center with the latest New Market Tax Credits and EB-5 funding, so I expect that action along with discussion will take place at the meeting,” Councilman Reuben Blackwell said. “I certainly hope that the majority of the council feels this project is sound enough and fiscally feasible to begin to look seriously at our funding options for it.” (Source: Read more)

City Code : Weeds, ok for us but not you.

Grass/Weeds
Grass or weeds that are eighteen (18) inches or more in height and are within 150 feet of an inhabited resident, place of business, or any other establishment is considered a public health nuisance. Owners of properties in violation are given seven days to abate this nuisance or the City will do so and bill the owner.

Now if this is your property you would get a nice little notice where if cut within five to ten day they will do it for you, min 50 bucks to?? Yet, the weeds at the local city parks can grow out of control and all they city park workers cut is the along the sidewalk area.

All this after they spent all the time and money to clean out the park, so people couldn’t hide and have some adult fun..

it seem they only have time to cut the grass near the sidewalks.. (notice if this was Sunset or City Lake it would have been correctly)

Bench at Battle Park

Why does the city park department lets park benches get in this state?

Interesting Letter to the Editor of Rocky Mount Telegram

See the letter here,

Whether it’s in Nash or Edgecombe County, it is not feasible to do this. And, speaking of location, why is this such a big secret? What is the City Council not telling us? Is someone benefiting from the sale of land for this event center on the City Council?
