Purchased Justice

Justice is a much misused term and usually available only for the wealthy.  Let's say a man goes to a bar one night and gets very intoxicated, takes another mans car home across town, wrecks the car in his drive and passes out in the vehicle.  Let's add this up!  Driving under influence and stealing a car.  Sounds like any average man gets a DUI charge and theft of an automobile.  No, let's make that just using a vehicle without permission because now we are dealing with a wealthy and powerful man and we give him community service and he never does his community service.  He just goes and gives the fire department some very expensive and much needed uniforms.  I suppose he did not get caught driving home drunk and no one noticed he was drunk when the car was recovered with him passed out.  Maybe the courts in Charleston had a special going that week and anyone that had coupon and could purchase the city a few things that were needed by the government, they could drive drunk and take another citizens vehicle without permission.  As cynical as this sounds, this is the way the systems has worked.  I witnessed this and saw Gene Reed take advantage of his wealth and power to achieve these very results. Just check the newspaper and the court records, it's all there.

For whatever reason Gene Reed had me call the office where the victim, Chris McIntosh, worked.  The plan was to disparage this mans name with some fabricated story to get him fired.  Reed had me do this on 2 occasions.  The victim was a corporate pilot and Reed wanted to report to his employer that he was flying for other clients.  Not only did Reed wreck the mans car but he wanted to destroy his job.
