EMORY CLINIC: EMORY EYE CENTER

From the Mason Mill Civic Association – Code Enforcement

Several code violations citations have been issued by the County for 1840 Mason Mill. The violations pertain to the aggregate square footage of signage allowed on a residential lot and the distance of signs and outdoor displays from the curb line of the street. Code enforcement officers are monitoring the situation, and are well aware that the resident continues to disregard the regulations. The court date originally scheduled in June has been moved, at the resident’s request, to Tuesday, July 12th at 9:00 a.m. The case will be heard in the Magistrate’s Court located at 3630 Camp Circle, Decatur, GA 30032. We have been told that with the strengthening of the code enforcement process this past year, it is not enough for a defendant to enter a plea and pay a fine; now, no case is disposed of until the matter is finally rectified. While residents will not be called to testify at this hearing, it is important that we have a good turnout of concerned citizens in the courtroom. We will keep you posted if the date and time change.

When I took the Decatur one, I got a much better idea of what it's like to be an officer and what the crime situation is in Decatur. We learned gun safety, we visited the DeKalb county jail, the Coroner's office (where we saw a video of an autopsy), got to do a ride along with an officer and learned a whole lot about how it all works. I found it fascinating. I'm a liberal politically, but am not against people owning guns if they keep them at home and in a safe place. I don't like open carry. However, in learning gun safety we learned how to shoot, and that was very interesting to me. Now when I watch crime shows I can see what is fictional and what could really take place.

Anne Koch from Sargent Hills4d ago

I did it last year. It was a very interesting program. They had people from different branches of the department come and explain to us what they do. A judge came to talk about signing on warrants; we learned how to do fingerprinting; a couple of detectives came to talk about their work on domestic violence; we visited the 911 center, ... They try to make it as interesting and interactive as they can and I think they did a really good job. The program includes a ride-along, which was also quite interesting. I would recommend it. But before you sign up, be aware that most of the sessions take place in Lithonia, where DeKalb has its police academy, and not at the Tucker Headquarters.

Too bad doesn't include an overnight stay in jail along with three balanced meals? I was in jail two and a half weeks and only one carton of milk the whole time. And I'd shared a cell with a young Muslm man who had already been there a year with another year to go! I wanna know what happened to the milk money?!

Maybe you should ask the commissioners. They are the ones spending money like a drunken sailor. Maybe the stops at Starbucks or Dunk in donuts made the milk money disappear. As for your stay in jail. I have been in just about every prison in the state of Georgia and now I go into the Federal prison. I used to hear complaints all the time about conditions in the prison from the cot he or she had to sleep on to the food and their cellie. All I would say is that this place is not the Ritz and you did something to put you here. I worked with inmates and ex-offenders and helped them with employment and housing when they were released. Just so you know.

I violated a restraining order with an email. And this landed me on the felony floor. I'm curious? By any chance, did all your cellmates look, on average, rather small compared to what you were expecting the first time you went in? I was expecting to be in the mist of a bunch of big thugs? Where were all the big guys? Church???

That must have been a terrible experience. Did they offer you probation and you opted for the jail time instead. (just curious) I was shocked when I was a juror not too long ago that people can now elect to serve their time on the weekends, then get let back out for the week so they don't have to lose their jobs. You check in like a hotel on Friday after work, check back out on Sunday evening and then do the same the next weekend until you have served your time. This was for a second offense DUI, so maybe they do not do that for everyone. At least I hope not. But, still.... Talk about a revolving door justice system!

Thank Flag

James Avery from Mason MillJust now

Actually it wasn't a terrible experience, that is, having tried turning it into a positive learning experience instead. Instead, it appears to have been nothing but a waste of everyone's experience as no one is willing to hear anything I'm wanting to believe we're all able learning my experience.

If we are all to be sinners, then there should be no difference between a wise man and a fool.

So...
I will try saying this instead:

"Those with a surplus are better able controlling their circumstances. Those without a surplus are controlled by those with the surplus. One is not always able exercising good judgement."

The quote above is something I'd read somewhere with a little bit of my own wording added to it.

Now combine the above quote (modified) with the following quote (unmodified):

"This was for a second offense DUI, so maybe they do not do that for everyone. At least I hope not. But, still.... Talk about a revolving door justice system!"

And what do you be thinking we be getting?

I'm thinking the justice system beginning catching up with some of the wiser ones...maybe?

Cheryl, I'm considering it a not-so-terrible experience because I was not placed in the middle of a bunch of big thugs.

Place in the middle of a bunch of...compeers... maybe?

I wanna know what happened to the milk money?!

And I want Emory University to do a study comparing the average size of offenders/ex-offenders to the average size of church going men?!

And I ain't talking D**K size either...Cheryl!
