You mirror the criminal that commits crime so he can write a book to make money from victims that want to learn about criminals and how they rip off the public and harm society. With your criminal past it is difficult to believe any of your rants about anything. Should one hire a criminal to protect a loved one since the criminal knows the other criminals thoughts? Simply doesn't make any sense. Maybe you have fooled some dimwits but most of us see through your veiled lifestyle and feel sorry for you and your past victims. Try getting your personal victims to buy into your roadshow of criminal behavior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-6962950047653351022009-12-27T12:55:45.977-06:002009-12-27T12:55:45.977-06:00So what the hay, let the lame duck Aggie cheer lea...So what the hay, let the lame duck Aggie cheer leader appoint the sex toy queen as tyc ombudsmen, she’ll fit right in. I said the same thing about the pardons a parole board. As the turdman tyc plan continues to move forward with Elmer Fudd leading the charge its becoming the only plan that is actually doable in Texas. If there were enough people who truly want tyc to be the social science experiment and actually help a majority of its referrals it would hire, train and support it employees. The office of Ombudsmen would be independent like it is today and there would be someone with an attitude like mine to be a watchdog over tyc. Or at least a Will Harrell who actually has skill sets to go along with attitude. <br /><br />The sex toy queen will be the ombudsmen like the 70’s, a real patsy of a joke, a crash dummy as the kids say today. So this appointment says a lot about how our lame duck Aggie cheer leader feels about reforming tyc. How ignorant does he, or any legislator, think their constituency is? Yet, those guys social science experiment with tyc reformers may be more right on than some give them credit.<br /><br />Sheldon tyc#47333 II c/s<br />gssb mvssb FtycAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-17992400349474967562009-12-27T12:55:25.646-06:002009-12-27T12:55:25.646-06:00Please keep in mind tyc has a 120 year history of ...Please keep in mind tyc has a 120 year history of physically, mentally, verbally and sexually abusing the throw away kids of Texas. This is not the exception this is the norm, and tyc has serious consequences for “Breaking Norms”. <br /><br />From early on tyc hired farmers who needed extra cash and/or slave child labor. Its work force mainly came from local back water towns folks like gatesville. Moving into the 70’s and 80’s government agencies, like tyc adopted the hiring practice of affirmative action. With tyc this new hiring practice allowed them to get better people than the local red nicks while still scraping the bottom of the DNA intelligence pool. Also during that time tyc hired grunts returning home from Vietnam who remained close to Ft Hood and would settle for the very low pay rate. I mean no disrespect to their service just stating a historical fact.<br /><br />So you begin to see the pattern in tyc hiring practice over its lifetime. A do as your told work force who can’t see past their boss and is not about to let anyone below their rank see past them. <br /><br />The tyc was a different place for black employees as well as inmates in the turdman era and slowly began to improve in the jackass era. The two top dogs when the gatesville culture was moved to the boys home in Giddings were black, crinshaw and buckner. Ol buckner had a program called DeCon and it was as much of a joke then as the current Con Nextions program is today. <br /><br />As we role through the 80’ and 90’s with the affirmative action hiring practice catching on with its cheap labor cost, it was inevitable in that prison/ghetto culture to form the very mature 2 party gangster government we see in place today. And as some of you posters point out some things never change like the inmates gangster government is mostly in charge. I would be willing to bet those 2 homosexuals in West Texas were nothing more than victims where the kids were simply acting out G, their hold over the punks, sexually in this case. This goes back to the historical practice of inmates punking out staff. We’re talking about tyc here, people. This isn’t ever going to trial in public because of the can of worms it will open to the public today. It would be a tremendous embarrassment to how tyc has been and is managed from the governor’s office all the way down to the dorm man/matron or jco as it’s called today.<br /><br />So Boyness, here is a historical perspective to your statement and the following anonymous post 12/25/2009 8:24pm, a possible tyc employee, is a good example of this hiring practice. The tyc hires salt of the earth good people who care about their J O B’s, but the expectation of these employees is SO WAY out of line, its wasteful. It’s like if I hired a jco to work for me as an engineer, they’re out of their league. The tyc is a youth prison and hires as such, yet, there are some that think tyc should be a social science experiment. Wishful thinking but simply not practical in the great red state of Texas.<br /><br />Today tyc only excepts felons, it’s a youth prison people. Put a plate full of ham in front of a Rabbi, tell him its roast beef and see where that gets you. It’s no wonder there is so much drama around tyc with the people who are wanting to make it something it isn’t. I can still remember the circus called Morales v turdman. Ringling Brothers has nothing on that. This dance has been going on for a long time and now with tyc only taking felons its moving in the direction of a youth prison and will make it easy to treat it as such in future legislation. This is turdmans dream in the 60’s and the hiring practice over the last 50 years has made this dream easy for Elmer Fudd to bring into reality. For example, some people criticized turdman for building mountain view as a fenced in facility. Now all the tyc facility’s have much more mincing fencing than mountain view has.<br /><br />contAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-31359835896965696832009-12-27T11:33:34.222-06:002009-12-27T11:33:34.222-06:00Stop blaming the governor for TYC abuses.

The San Saba sex abuse was known by the soon to be ass't at WT, from before and during the WT abuses, yet he didn't act for two years. Other WT employees, including administrators also knew about the sex abuse and also watched and acted as though all was just swell. Stop the coverup now and admit to your part in the abuses. It was many more than the two on hand sex abusers. Clean it up or leave the agency. Clean it all up or close WT and TYC altogether. Enough lies and continual coverups.

I guess you can say other secondary abusers were involved (those that knew and didn't report it). However, to say that there was Agency wide child abusers in TYC is simply bullshit! Yes, there were a few here and there, but for the most part, those that were confirmed in investigations were dealt with accordingly. All you haters out there can believe what ever you want to, but these are the facts. The Governor's jackoff man, Kimbrough was brought in to make it look like there was abuse being hidden in every corner of TYC to make the Governor look better for being a part of the W. Texas cover up. Believe it. I can't wait to see if Brookins and Hernandez go to trial. I bet they cop to some probation plea bargain that calls for no jail time. Our fine Governor just can't afford for things to go public in regards to what all he knew about the sexual abuse in W.

Several were aware of his misdeeds, however they failed to get involved..don't rock the boat. He was transferred from his prior TYC assignment for the same activities, yet his supervisors covered for him and again at WT. It would be great if all this comes out at his trial, so all would know who covered for who and why so many set by and ignored the abuse. Since some were related to the gov. that part may always be veiled. Those who say there were only two involved are only covering more for the many who knew but refused to act yet watched quietly as the abuse went on.
