[wonder woman]

He doesn't look spanish but at least he can speak it. Florida Fan....he can whispher sweet nothings in your ear while chasing a moped. Hey you know what the funniest thing is that I just thought of.........He is about the same build as the married, hispanic fellow. HMMMMMM

Yeah, at least Moped Man has a Cute Wife....The Married Mexicans wife looked like a big fat mad ogre!

I couldnt play hard to get though...he is not really good at "chasing" anything! Rahhhhhh

:whistle:

[bluelinebro]

[FloridaFan]

I've always thought wonder woman was sexy. she just needs a real man. a man with heat.

And you think you are the man?

[bluelinebro]

Yo soy papa' grande' FF you can be harsh. Is that y you like mexicans? so that they can't understand you. (no hablo ingles)

[FloridaFan]

Thats right, he works all day...brings mama the money...and we go to walmart on sunday!:luff:

:bum: :lmao: :lmao: FF. thats the funniest true statement i've heard in awhile

[wonder woman]

FF, you are right about the wives. Moped man's wife is really nice and I can almost guarantee that she keeps him in line. I bet SHE would have caught the moped! HEHEHEHEHE!

[FloridaFan]

This is true, she does seem a little fiesty!

[bluelinebro]

naw, she was probably at the home cookin' and cleanin' like she supposed to

[bluelinebro]

To my wife, I would never say something like that about you. please don't make me stay in the camper tonight. i'm sorry :wall: :headz:

[wonder woman]

wow! that was a quick recovery! i know for a fact that the man in that house actually does the cooking!

[cuebald]

Don't believe him, Ms. BLB. He told us he didn't need to buy a dishwasher, he married one.

At least I think that's what he said.

Aw, what the heck. Close enough. Not my tail in the wringer.

[pink pony]

Big Daddy,


I think we may have scared our friend THEPURPLEONION away. I wonder if I could find him around town. I heard he was hanging around the bank today.

[bluelinebro]

probably all day.

[pink pony]

I think he may be there tomorrow to. You can bet I will be making a trip to the bank!

[Big Daddy]

You better watch out pink pony, they say thepurpleonion is on the prowl.

[pink pony]

That's what I am hoping for. Bring it on Purple Onion.

[cuebald]

wow! that was a quick recovery! i know for a fact that the man in that house actually does the cooking!

You mean all men don't cook and do the grocery shopping?

[FloridaFan]

If you find one that does cook and clean and etc. PLEASE send him to my house!!

[GRITS]

If you find one that does cook and clean and etc. PLEASE send him to my house!!

There's a joke in here somewhere. I just can't remember it!

[cuebald]

If you find one that does cook and clean and etc. PLEASE send him to my house!!

Be careful what you say. You might get one that does the shopping, cooks, cleans, folds the laundry, takes out the garbage, and waits for you to get home so he can listen to you when you talk, but he may be old, ugly, fat, bald, and wrinkled.

[GRITS]

Yep, that be what I'd be looking for!

[cuebald]

But he may overcook the Chicken Kiev and use wilted leaves in the mixed salad and use green candles on the table and pour the Dom Perignon in water glasses. Sure you don't want to reconsider?

[GRITS]

On second thought I think I'd rather have a dog. At least the dog will wag it's tail, when I come home and be happy to see me.

[cuebald]

On second thought I think I'd rather have a dog. At least the dog will wag it's tail, when I come home and be happy to see me.

Ah... We may have a minor problem... I just found out where the chicken came from for the chicken kiev.

I don't think we can reassemble Fido enough for him to wag. Sorry.

[GRITS]

Ah... We may have a minor problem... I just found out where the chicken came from for the chicken kiev.

I wondered why he was fattening up the bow-wow!

[General Lee]

BOLO - Sheriff Little

[cuebald]

Who do we notify if we see him? I can't imagine why anyone would want that political hack.

[bluecamel]

I also have seen alot more of her lately.:fluffy:



They live in Swansea.

[10-59]

it looks like things must have finally calmed down over there in swansea. I noticed this thread hasn't had activity in a long time. is there something we should all know about. is no news good news?

[cuebald]

I think everyone moved to Gaston to avoid prosecution.

There'll be hell to pay if the Swansea cops ever find their road map.

[The Riddler]

So whats up at Swansea PD now?

[Rosco P. Coltrane]

I don't know you tell me, or is this another riddle?

[cuebald]

I don't know you tell me, or is this another riddle?

Not a riddle. More of an impractical joke, in keepng with the topic of the thread.

[Conway]

I dont know how you feel but I dont appreciate the Swansea cops putting bad guys in jail in the thier town limits at checkpoints on Ben Spires Rd.

[bluelinebro]

I feel fine with it. i say keep up the good work boys and girls

[GUMBY]

Well I am surprised that Batman wasn't helping Swansea PD at Ben Spires Rd. They could have used him after The Joker "aka" Larry Sharpe showed up.

[mini mee]

Who needs Batman when you have Big Sexy on the scene! He can handle anyone!

[FloridaFan]

Mmmmmmm...I LOVE ME SOME BIG SEXY!!:hail:

[The Riddler]

Well I understand from a HP that Swansea officers like to chase cars in the town of Pelion, and now they are on Ben Spires Rd in Gaston? What is this world coming to!:finga:

[mini mee]

I guess when your HOT your HOT! You go Boys!!!

[General Lee]

To quote my favorite aussies.... If you want blood, you've got it!


:rambo:

[Sheriff Little]

Damn you Dukes! You absolutely right though, I'm out for blood! See in my county, we don't have all the bickering about who's in whose jurisdiction. We're all out for one thing...to remove the bad guys from the streets. Of course, all of the local police in my county have been through my training school, so they are by far some of the most superior law enforcement officers in the country.
When you're in a place like Pelion or Gaston, where the departments are inferior, you have to complain about a more superior force like Swansea, though. You want every opportunity to look good, even though you end up looking stupid with all the whining.

[FloridaFan]

Well I understand from a HP that Swansea officers like to chase cars in the town of Pelion, and now they are on Ben Spires Rd in Gaston? What is this world coming to!:finga:

You cant tell me that if ANY Highway Patrolman was fighting on the side of the road or in a car chase for that matter...they would be bitchin' about ANYBODY coming to their aid out of jurisdiction. I think you need to keep your stupid ass comments to yourself.

[Boss Hogg]

Well Jake Really Wants To Be Just Like Me. He Has A White Suit Just Like Mine That He Wears At Night, When He Is Pretending To Be President Of The Usa. Oh Wait A Minute, That Might Be His Other White Suit!

I Think We Need To Open Another Southern Gentelmen In Gaston!

[Sheriff Little]

I here you Boss. Only if there's going to be some fine black mamas there. You know, you said that you were going to be gettin' Jakey boy and Dunkin Metts to open me one up in Chickasaw County.

[Sheriff Little]

you know once u go black you never go back


the darker the berry the sweeter the juice

black women are like a box of chocolates, you never know what u are gonna get

[swampfox]

If chasing cars is the priority in Swansea, hell, get a bunch of dogs.

[better days]

I think mutual aid between the small town police forces is a great idea. This helps the county with it's cost of patroling rural areas and should give some relief to the HP. Now what I would like to know is what is the recommended level of law officer per area population? How many law officers are there in Lexington county? Add up anyone who has a badge and firearm. All the small towns, game wardens, airport police, armed security guards, marshalls, LCSD, highway patrol and anyone else I've missed, and divide that by the population of the county. Do we have enough or to many?

[better days]

You have to admit the sound of blue ticks and red bones chasing cars and barking would add a nice southern flavor to Swansea. If you could break them from hunching and licking themselves in public I'm all for it.

[cuebald]

You may be onto something, BD. And when deer season closes, you ought to be able to find plenty of volunteeers to deputize who would LOVE to have a reason to stand along the shoulders of the road all day with pump guns full of #1 buckshot to wait on lawbreakers. The hounds make a great sountrack for it

They'd enjoy it. Get 'em away from the honey-do stuff and pretend they're doin' 'portant stuff.

And they might do a better job than the regulars.

[Sarge]

Hunching and licking themselves. Is that the dogs or the........?

[Bar Fly]

Speaking of licking and hunching. I hear that Cliffs ex was seen in wings and ale on numerous occasions drinking and showing her breasts to everybody.

[0BADGEBUNNY]

IF IT FEELS GOOD DO IT:salute:

[General Lee]

Speaking of licking and hunching. I hear that Cliffs ex was seen in wings and ale on numerous occasions drinking and showing her breasts to everybody.

Oh really? And Catfish have kittens

[better days]

Speaking of licking and hunching. I hear that Cliffs ex was seen in wings and ale on numerous occasions drinking and showing her breasts to everybody.
Them breasts come with cole slaw and fries?

[swampfox]

Yeah, was she showing her wings too?

[Cliff]

"Cliff's Ex" ?
Must be another Cliff.

[610]

That sounds like her

[10-59]

Them breasts come with cole slaw and fries?

I'm a Breast and Legs kind of guy personally. Coleslaw optional, unless it's zesto's

[bluecamel]

I heard 602 is having a little one soon

[mini mee]

WHAT!!!!!!!!




Are you sure about that? Where did you get that information?

[cotton ball]

Gosh, Andrea, you were supposed to tell me first if your were having a baby. What's up with this? I have to hear it from a website....what a shame!

[CarolinaGrl]

Who is having a baby in that department now???

[Queen of The Doublewide]

I heard she was having Twins! Maybe thats why she hasnt been working as much lately!

[cotton ball]

I heard 602 is having a little one soon



Well......this is not true! Maybe you got the badge numbers mixed up. Oh well!

Wow, twins....Andrea, can i have one?

[Queen of The Doublewide]

Maybe she will auction one off on e-bay or something! But if they arent going to be bald..hmm..I wonder what they will look like. They could have poofy hair..thats for sure! :biggrin:

[Sloth]

Hey you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bluelinebro]

I heard 602 is having a little one soon
I saw 602 the other day and i didn't see any signs of pregnancy. What's been going on in the big town. seems kind of quiet lately.

[mini mee]

yeah, you would think he would have a least a little pudge or something.

[FloridaFan]

I havent heard about any wierd cravings????

[Sloth]

Are you craving you some Gardner?

[JOSE MARCO MARTINEZ SMITH]

He might not be, but I am!!!!!!! Arrriiiibaaa!

[Cliff]

:****:

[General Lee]

We all just need to work together!:D

[Sloth]

Well one day I hope Hardee's comes to Swansea. You can't beat a Frisco Burger!

[FloridaFan]

Or maybe...an Outback Steakhouse!!! No RULES...Just RIGHT! :rocklick:

[Rosco P. Coltrane]

According to a recent survey, 3 out of every 5 criminals say they prefer Hardee's over McDonalds.

[FloridaFan]

And lets face it...3 out of 5 people in Swansea are probably criminals! :)

[HILL]

Yeah, but they've got the finest cops...especially that Bennett...mmmmm, the things Bill and I could do with him!

[swampfox]

Wait a minute. I thought you were kidding.

Haven't you watched Dateline? It's not a good idea to solicit especially weird sex on the internet.

[General Lee]

Yeah, but they've got the finest cops...especially that Bennett...mmmmm, the things Bill and I could do with him!

sorry to disappoint you hill, but I think Bennett would prefer lets say jessica simpson and stacy keibler over you and bill any day!

[Sheriff Little]

Ah come on now General, Bennett would at least get a meal and a good smoke out of it...Bill does like to use cigars and pizza after all.

[Captain James T. Kirk]

Okay, Bill may have the cigars, Hillary may have the...eeew no...and Bennett may have the pistol, but I've got the photon torpedo!

[Captain James T. Kirk]

By the way, is it true that I favor the Swansea mayor?

[bluelinebro]

I hear that swansea is 2-2 with mopeds, thats pretty good. I heard that even flip flop man let one get away? is that so?:partyman:

[FloridaFan]

Flip Flop man let one get away?!? Hmmm....he couldnt chase him down in his flip flops and shorts?!? I dont think No Mercy would let a Moped Man get away from him. When did this happen?

[Rosco P. Coltrane]

Well we dont have to worry about that moped anymore!

[better days]

Damn what is with all the mopeds in Swansea? Is it some kinda gang or drunks with no license?

[Micheal Knight]

By the way, is it true that I favor the Swansea mayor?

white bird must fly or she will die!

[General Lee]

By the way, is it true that I favor the Swansea mayor?

Well Tiburius, yall do have the same first name!

[Tori E]

Ok...I realize this is not really about the Swansea PD...but I am hoping some one will be able to help out.....Does anyone know when the construction on the roads down will take??

[Micheal Knight]

[EL Pablo Di Sanchez Jorge]

Hi My Name Is El Pablo Di Sanchez Jorge.

I am going to run against you people in the next election, you vote for me and you will have My Protection. By the way Tell Elmer Fudd in Congaree, that the mexicans are coming..

[FloridaFan]

Who is the Hot Momma Cop?

[mini mee]

like you don't know Floridan Fan.......you know everyone!


Jorge, don't be picking on my Elmer Fudd.

[FloridaFan]

Must be talkin' about 610

[mini mee]

610 is not the Hot Mamma Cop, she is the BIG Mamma Cop. I guess that leaves 611 to be the Hot Mamma Cop.


Come on Florida Fan I thought you knew the guys and girls better than that.

[FloridaFan]

WHAT?!? 610 is a HOT MAMMA COP!! :wtg:

[mini mee]

:shhh: :shhh: :shhh: :shhh: :rocklick: :rocklick:

[EL Pablo Di Sanchez Jorge]

Im talking about 611, That Hot Momma Could Light My Fire Any Day....611 If U Vote For Me, I Will Make all of your wildest dreams come true.

"Vote For El Pablo Di Sanchez Jorge"

[swampfox]

I would ask a lot of questions about someone's dreams, mi amigo, before I offered to make them come true. Some people have dreams that would not be much fun.

You spelled Juarez wrong.

[FloridaFan]

Well, I am going to have to go on record as saying that 610 is a HOT MAMMA!

[Gator96]

You spelled Juarez wrong.

[Gator96]

Welcome back, my handcuff wielding friend!

[bluelinebro]

thanks gator, i just couldn't sit back and watch any longer

[Captain Worley]

Well, I woke up in El Paso,
Went to get myself a map,
I went the wrong way into Juarez
With Juanita on my lap.

[Gator96]

I wonder if our Mexican friend has the little dingleberries on the headliner of his truck and if his horn plays "la cucaracha"....

[FloridaFan]

thanks gator, i just couldn't sit back and watch any longer

So are you here to participate in the Great Debate??:wave:

Also, my friend request has not been approved...I am a little upset about that.

[swampfox]

I wonder if our Mexican friend has the little dingleberries on the headliner of his truck and if his horn plays "la cucaracha"....

No, but mine does.

I think our Mexican friend is not Mexican at all, but rather a crimson-necked homeboy.

[better days]

A redneck fake mexican. Nothing is what it seems anymore.

[swampfox]

It tears me up too, BD.

[FloridaFan]

What is this world coming too? I mean, when you cant even believe that a person named EL Pablo Di Sanchez Jorge is really a Mexican. I just dont understand...:shrug:

[Tori E]

:laff: That is so true:) He can't be Mexican. Must be from just up the road a piece or so!!!!!!!

[swampfox]

Weren't they in that "Brokeback Trailer Park" movie?

[bluelinebro]

Is this the Swansea PD thread, or am I Lost? :offtopic:

[Captain Worley]

Is this the Swansea PD thread, or am I Lost? :offtopic:

Don't worry about being lost. The forest is dark here, but the animals generally have a pretty good sense of humor. Watch out for their sharp wits, though. they can cause a nasty cut.

[Micheal Knight]

Maybe I should have loaned Kitt out to SPD, maybe then 604 would still have a patrol car!

[cuebald]

I thought Swansea was cancelled due to lack of interest.

[cuebald]

Told ya.

[10-59]

i believe you wre right cue, either that, or all is calm

[better days]

Been like that since they started putting the sudafed behind the counter.

[cuebald]

Another month slipped away and nothing happened in Swansea?

When do we get to declare it abandoned and sell it for salvage?

[swampfox]

I just drove through there today.

They've got the whole town packed up in "Pods".

[cuebald]

Single wide or double wide pods?

[GUMBY]

well what happened to all the pd drama........

[10-59]

They have some very professional officers there now that do their job and do it well. Guess they don't have time to be worried about all the other stuff. I saw where others are noticing the professionalism some of these guys and gals have. Keep up the Good work, people are noticing.

[cuebald]

Another two and one-half months glides by noiselessly...

[MadDogFife]

Another two and one-half months glides by noiselessly...

My be that new gag order

[cuebald]

I just drove through there today.

They've got the whole town packed up in "Pods".

Those might have been coffins, Swampy. It's been nearly five months since your post and nothing has happened there to be reported here.

You may want to ride over there again. What you thought was Swansea may have been Brigadoon.

[Tori E]

I have a feeling this may be what some would call.....The calm before the storm.........STAY TUNED!!!!!!!!!

[cuebald]

Let's hope so. I'd hate to think we killed an entire town on this board.

If only we'd used our powers for the forces of good....

If only we'd used our powers for the forces of good....

Remember "Salem's Lot" :evil:

I renew my pledge to use my powers for good, and never for evil.

[cuebald]

That ain't what Dillon County says...

Wonder how they spent the last couple of days?

[Captain Worley]

I think they are still trying to figure out the whole 'registered user' thing.

[cuebald]

Well, it's not a nuclear plant...

MEN ROB SWANSEA BI-RITE

(Swansea) December 5, 2006 - Swansea Chief Ben Spence tells News 10 two men robbed the Bi-Rite on West Second Street Tuesday evening.



Didn't the cable go out in Swansea last night?

[10-59]

I just wanted to say I heard those guys did a great job handling that. Swansea officers, as well as other municipal agencies worked together like a team and had identified suspect(s). Keep up the good work guys. Ya'll are a professional group of officers that others should look up to.:finga:

[cuebald]

I have to hand it to you, Swansea. When you break the boredom, you do it with style.

[10-59]

So has anyone heard if any arrests have been made in that case?

[Gator96]

Bi-Rite? You gotta be kidding me. What did they steal, dustbunnies?

[cuebald]

That's Classic, Antique Dustbunnies to you, sister...

http://www.wltx.com/assetpool/images/0726222515_ben%20spence.gif
(Swansea) February 6, 2007 - Last month, a two-year-old girl was murdered Swansea. We've learned that in the midst of that investigation, Swansea's police chief has resigned.
But the town's mayor says Chief Ben Spence's decision to quit has nothing to do with the case. Mayor Ray Spires tells News 10 that Spence turned in his resignation Monday.
Spence had been leading the probe into last month's murder of two-year-old Jalah Peeples, and the wounding of her parents.
Officials say two masked men went to the Elm Creek Apartments in Swansea looking for James Peeples. During a gunfight, Peeples and his girlfriend, Laura McMichael, were wounded. Their daughter Jalah was caught in the crossfire and killed.
No arrests have been made. Spence has not been available for comment.
Spires says Spence had indicated he was interested in farming. But the mayor says town officials had no idea the chief was about to resign.
Assistant Chief Clif Hayes has been named interim chief.


This is an interesting turn of events after saying last week that he would do everything in his power to find the killers of the 2 year old girl.

[SCEMTGirl]

Wow! Those Swansea boys sure know how to make a comeback! Bye-Bye Spencie-boy!

[better days]

Maybe he can find who killed OJ's wife while he's at it.

[swampfox]

Here's the way it works. There is a shortage of cops nationwide. There are plenty of applicants, but once they go through the training, the drug tests, the psychological screenings, etc, there are not enough left, and every one that does succeed at the Police Academy has got his/her choice of many jobs. Usually, not always, the top graduates of the academy go to the larger towns. They get better pay, better benefits, and room for advancement. By the time you get to small departments like Swansea, you have to take what's left or do without. I'm not saying that it should be that way, but it is.

Then, after they start, an awful lot drop out after the first few years. It's just too much stress, too much danger, too much responsibility for the money they get paid. Yes, some take the path of becoming crooks themselves, not most, but some. And where would you expect that to be most likely? In the departments that pay the most or the ones that pay the least?

Now of course there are some small departments that work like Mayberry on the Andy Griffith Show. Maybe it's a really good and capable cop who just prefers a small town. But these would be the exceptions, not the rule.

Unfortunately we keep finding out that there are more and more things that money CAN buy. Justice and law enforcement and good teachers should not be among those things, but......what can you do?

Just yesterday I was talking with a former deputy from Orangeburg. He left to become an electronics technician, gets paid probably more than twice what he was making as a cop, doesn't get shot at, works regular hours. And I think it's safe to say that he was not having the peaceful and gratifying small town cop experience where he was.

I say to prospective cops the same as I say to prospective teachers anymore. DON'T DO IT! Find some other way to make a living. With-hold your services from organizations that are so screwed up that nobody could make them work. Seriously. There no reason to screw up life for yourself AND your family just because the public is apparently happy with crooked office-holders. If nothing else, you owe your family better than that. Sure, somebody's got to do it, but let it be somebody else. I would not steer you wrong.

And on a related subject, ANOTHER friend of mine now has a kid who will be going to DJJ. Again from a two-parent family, both parents with Master's degrees and successful, extremely capable at school until the eighth grade when he just quit trying. But a lot of kids in his small-town neighborhood were basically thugs, and he was drawn to that. So he's probably lost. If he's not in a gang already, he'll have to join one within a few days or he won't survive DJJ. I gave this kid private instruction related to a course he was taking online. Smart, very smart. And good manners. But got to go with the popular culture, soundtracked with music that promotes violence and/or self-destruction. It makes me sick.

[better days]

After 9-11 the feds just gave money away for homeland security. These small town Police departments starting popping up. Now I'm just making a wild guess but I assume the money was mis-spent or out right stolen in clever ways. The town police officers now must learn to work, uncertain of what the next day brings. The town council from the mayor and all members should be held accountable and face possible jail terms, and what's the real reason for the police chiefs leaving suddenly?

[backward]

What the heck happened with Chief Spence in Swansea?

[Unregistered]

Maybe he got tired of the crap going on in Swansea.

[cuebald]

What happened in Swansea? Did some body steal the sand, or was it the scrub oaks and slash pines?

The dustbunnies were beginning to get pretty interesting.

[SCEMTGirl]

Maybe he got tired of the crap going on in Swansea.


Maybe he was part of the crap in Swansea!

Exclusive | Gang tied to killing of toddler

FBI agent testifies Gangsta Killer Bloods involved in deadly attempted robbery

By ADAM BEAM

abeam@thestate.com

A 2-year-old Swansea girl killed in a shootout in January was the victim of an attempted robbery by the Gangsta Killer Bloods, according to an FBI agent’s courtroom testimony Thursday.
The testimony connects for the first time one of the Midlands’ most heinous crimes with the highly organized gang, which has national ties.



I'm really sorry, but why does this not surprise me.

[swampfox]

They are terrorists, like any other terrorists, and should be dealt with as such.

I worry as much as anybody about preserving civil rights, but civil rights were never meant for people who do things like this. It's like there's a disease sweeping across the country and we're not going to do the right thing because we're such nice people?

Did you see those guys that had babies (2 and 5) smoking dope? Not only did they have no idea why they shouldn't, one of them has given an interview saying that it's no big deal, that everybody does it. I know from working with the most hopeless kids in the state, they don't care about their own lives, so caring about somebody else's is just not something they can comprehend.

Frak that!

There are some people who don't deserve their basic rights. I hate to say it, but it is true. Child molesters and people who pop off rounds with no regard for where they might go are just two examples.

[southerngirl]

someone needs to ask spires why there is a pool hall on main street of Swansea, and how they are able to sale beer ?????? Friends of the mayor that how!! this place is going to be bad news for Swansea

[JeniLou]

Technically there is no need to ask the mayor or any of his friends. That decision would have to come from the ABC board of South Carolina. So no matter who may object (former politicians, myself or whomever), there is not a whole lot that the town can do about it since the giving of liquor & beer licenses is not up to the town, but the state.

[swampfox]

If beer becomes unavailable in Lexco, we will see blockade running like hasn't been seen since that war in the early 1860s.

I do not see what the big deal is things will sort out most likely, either it will be a problem and the cops will put an end to it or he will have no patronage. I dont see why mr "fasttimes" wont do ok. That being said I do not care for the owner at all. Swansea is the closest thing there is in SC to a "dry" town. There is not one place in town you can eat a dinner and have a glass of wine or a shot of whiskey. We did have the Tai resteraunt but they are "closed" for repairs.

[Unregistered]

Personally I don't see what the big deal is...At least it is a business that is open in Swansea. While yes, some people may not like it, at least it is a start. While walking through town over the weekend, I noticed that there are signs posted on his door stating the age limit (which was a concern of mine.) Like him or not, give the man a chance. At least he is trying to creat some revenue in this town.

Now why do you have to go and muddy up the water with something as insignificant as the facts?

Everybody has basic rights, usually until they CHOOSE to give them up by committing a serious crime or other such behavior. Then they often lose their most basic rights, such as freedom.

We all give up some rights in small ways all the time. For an example when you are on public school property you give up your fourth amendment rights (meaning you and your property can be searched without probable cause) and, to a large extent you give up your first amendment rights. There is a sign next to the front door of most schools that makes these rules very clear.

Free speech has never been absolute. Malicious speech leading to violent crime is not protected, nor is sexual speech in most public places. Then there's slander, libel, words I never heard in the bible.

What is so wrong with the pool hall in swansea on main street. it is a very nice & clean business. The owners went through all the correct legal means of obtaining a beer & wine permit form the state. They ran the legal ad in the lexington county chronicle, the state paper for three weeks. Sled posted the business for the required time for eveyone to see, and the owners also made it known to the public. Longnecks followed all the rules & obtained the beer & wine permit in the way the department of revenue required. The town of swansea has nothing to do with it.

The owner also spoke at the town meeting informing the town of what the plan was for his business. so i feel like they done more than most of the other bars in lexington county has done.

The owner has always wecome police into the business without a problem .

So the way i see it , many people has a pool table in their home and they drink beer . So whats the problem with trying to bring business to the downtown area in swansea.

New life is what we need in the downtown business district. We need a younger group in this area since most of the other business on the street only attracts the older people that dont want anything in town to change.

Please people get a life tend to your own business and let the people in town who are trying to make a difference do it .

Botton line if you dont like Longnecks Billiards & Beer Bar - you dont have to go in it. :butthead:

[countryboy]

Longnecks has a copy of the beer & wine license on the door for anyone to see . they also have the rules posted. I think it looks great and will help the other business in the area.

[Unregistered]

What does any of this have to do with the police? Longnecks is a really nice place from what I have seen. All this fuss over a good business in a town? If yall think that is bad, what about the store just feet away that sells some questionable items? That is a business to fuss about.

[cuebald]

Let me suggest - if a business offends you, don't shop there. Shop with those stores that reflect your values. If enough people don't shop there, it will go away in short order.

If it doesn't go away, it means you were outvoted, and not everyone thinks like you. Deal with it.

[countryboy]

o please people get a life - The pool room on main street is quite nice it would compare to something you may find in a larger city such as Lexington or Columbia. I have been in there and know the owners.They are very nice and so is the busiess. What other business in town offers you a place for enjoyment with all the tv's , music and pool. I see no problem with a place like this in Swansea. We should be thankful that he left it in Swansea and did not move it away . Than we would have another empty building in town . Please people if you give them a chance it should be great for the town . Like i said i have been in there and it is the best looking business in this town . Three cheers for the owners of Longnecks and what they have done to the old building >Great job guys!!!!

[swampfox]

I heard that there's some trouble brewin' between Longneck's and the Smackdown Club.

It's always about territory.

[countryboy]

Well i guess someone told you a fatt lie.

[swampfox]

Nope. No lies.

This was from somebody who works undercover at one of those places. And I'm not about to reveal his/her identity.

Somebody's got to do it.

[countryboy]

Well who cares Longnecks does not compare to the smackdown club anyway its a totally different business. but you know what they say -- A dog that will take a bone will bring a bone> and i notice that you bring a lot of bones.

[Captain Worley]

People with glass mouses, shouldn't throw bones.

[swampfox]

....A dog that will take a bone will bring a bone> and i notice that you bring a lot of bones.

Don't worry. If you're good you'll get one.

It is a shame that people like you have nothing else to talk about but butting your nose in things you have no idea what your talking about. I am the owner of Longnecks Billiards, the mayor of Swansea has nothing to do with the DOR and how they licence business to sell Beer & Wine. I went the the legal proceeding to properly get a Beer and Wine Permit. If you were that concerned you should have filed a protest and let your voice be heard.

[Captain Worley]

Hey, Longnecks! Welcome, and give 'em what 'fer!

[swampfox]

Smackdown's needs to step off!

Great job Chief, but i am sorry that big Boy Jimmy had to put himself in your spotlight.

[Mr. Smiles BFF]

I was just wondering when did Swansea PD get a White Dodge Truck? I have seen it out on some traffic stops. It is always riding around town and I have seen it at the Police Department and the Fire Department.

[Unregistereduser]

why does it matter "when" they got one? Just curious. What business is it of yours. If you want to know, call the Police Dept. 568-3366, I am sure the Chief will be glad to talk to you. I, however, am not aware of a dodge truck, I know they have a white ford.

[Unregistereddude]

they have a white ford f150 and a white ford ranger. chief use to drive the f150 but not anymore and a reserve drives the ranger

[Unregistered19998]

what does chief drive?

[Unregistered5-0]

Why does it matter? why are people so dang nosy? Im guessing a police vehicle

[Unregistereddude]

first of all, to the guy who keeps saying why does it matter why do you ask etc... why don't YOU shut the f*ck up!? the man can ask whatever they want, and it's kinda the point of this board. just go away, you don't have to read it. why are you so nosey reading it to begin with, why are you so nosey on this board to begin with. geeze, shut up and go away. anyway, the chief drives an unmarked crown vic. they have had both of the trucks for a while now, they use to be town vehicles for other departments of the town like water etc.

[Unregistered5-0]

You sound like you must know alot. And why the vulgar language? Did someonestep on your toes, or you did it hit close to home?

[Unregistered796]

Just wanted to say Thank You to the Swansea Police Department for doing such a fine job. We appreciate all your hard work.

[SwanseaPride1]

Good job Sgt Bennett and to the hometown hero Woody Moore who helped catch the bad guy yesterday.

[General Lee]

I bet they couldn't catch me and the boys! J/K

[swampfox]

Why should they try to catch you? With a car like that everybody knows who you are and where you live.
