Not enough to be a bought lesson-
He can always go to the bank, put his car up as collateral, and borrow that additional $51.00 he owes. That, of course, is assuming he owns his automobile.
were it not for the Blackmon family ,what would the green teeth white trash and the beautiful people if the SEC, have to bitch , moan , cry and complain about???
in the 60 an 70s all the losers around here blamed the kennedy family for all their misery.
now they blame the blackmon family.
my how things have changed.
but one thing stays the same...............people in central mississippi blaming others for being a failure.
You must be a cousin or something. And we are replying to an update on Mr. Blackmon. What the hell else would you expect people to discuss here?
to 12:18............im sure a Blackmon family update is the highlight of your day. hate on tough guy.
11;46 is one pathetic , juvenile pedestrian.
To be honest, if it weren't for KF, I couldn't give less of a shit about that family. They mean nothing to me other than anonymously stirring the pot with race-baiting professional victims on a local blog.
I'm not the one who got on the floor of the State Senate and said there should be no animal cruelty laws. I understand some of you think Luke WOodham should have face no consequences for pouring lighter fluid down his dog's throat and setting it on fire, but this website will call out such statements every time.
Then there is the matter of Mr. Blackmon. Did a good job three weeks ago getting his client off. However, he earned 63 contempts and then the next business day, didn't show up in court for trial. Big no-no's in the legal profession and this website has always covered such problems in the courtroom.
@ 12:07 - There's always Truly, Banks, Griffin, CMU, Dog fighting, the Canton Separate Employment Office and the Mair's revolving office door up in there. Next?
Good grief. Nice try. The Blackmon family is not even in the same categorical hemisphere as the Kennedy family. Someone just had to tell you. What are you smoking?
Blackmon has filed a motion for reconsideration. Is everyone assuming Judge Peterson NEVER makes a mistake?
