NAACP, Press Conference omited by some News Outlets...WHY?

The Georgia State NAACP President Edward DuBose held a press conference at the Lowndes County Jail on July 5, 2006. The press release was sent throughout the State of Georgia, and President DuBose did a couple of interviews and press conferences outside the Valdosta/Lowndes County area.

However, our only news paper The Valdosta Daily Times did not cover this MAJOR community event. Although, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and other relative from three of the fifteen deceased inmates were present. This included the mother, fathers, and aunt of the most resent death of inmate George Hill Jr., who died on 23 June 2006. The families can only imagine why these deaths seem to be of little concern to the people of Valdosta, Lowndes County, State of Georgia and beyond. How sad?

On May 5, 2005 inmates said that more deaths have ocurred in the jail. Two other names were provided. However, it must be proven that inmates are correct and not just hear say.

Moreover, it may be a good idea to check with the local News Media and see if these deaths were ever reported to the public and within what time frame.

America's Media questioned, Local, State, and National by: George Boston Rhynes

If an inmate had a stroke the first weekend of June 2006 in the Lowndes County Jail, and the inmate could not move his arm on one side of his body. And if the inmate (perhaps) was not given proper medical treatment, and a concerned inmate called an outside person to help this inmate.

Then the outsider arrived and bonded the inmate out of jail. Then took him home and later to a local hospital where HE was a patient until a couple of days ago where he DIED.

Would you inform the citizens of Valdosta, and Lowndes County Georgia and beyond of the circumstances surrounding this death in a timely manner?

Moreover, would you consider the incident news worthy since the inmate allegedly had a stroke while in the jail?

In addition: If the following inmates died in our local jail would you have notified the public of these deaths? If so, on what dates were they reported to the people of Valdosta, Lowndes County Georgia, and beyond---by your news media outlet?

a. James N. Starling, (WHITE), age 63, died 1 May 1996: CAUSE OF DEATH: Coronary atherosclerotic.

b. Clarence Fender, (WHITE), age 70, died 2 April 2006: CAUSE OF DEATH: Heart Attack. Would you find this news worthy to report to the people of Valdosta, Lowndes County and beyond?

Lastly: If these two inmates died in our surrounding the jail and the public does not know about them. Then is it possible that other inmates could have died and not reported to the public?

I did a goggle search, a Valdosta Daily Times search, and could not find either of them on the Internet. How could this be since one happened as recent as 2 April 2006?

If my math is correct, and according to information given to Georgia State NAACP Conference President Edward DuBose by Sheriff Ashley Paulk following the press conference on July 5, 2006.

There have been about five deaths within ten months, and fifteen since 1994.

1-Willard McFarland, age 63, died 01 April 1994

2-Willie Lee Gaye, age 39, died 23 October 1995:

3-James N. Starling, age 63, died 1 May 1996:

4-Willie James Williams, age 49, died 2 Sept 1998:

5-Ronzie Sonny Graham, age 48, died 13 July 2000:

6-Rosemary King, Age 40, died 20 July 2001:

7-Richard William Oakley, age 27, died April 2002:

8-Sandra J. Wallace, age 39, died 31

9-Lisa Sanders, age 38, died 2003:

10-John Henry Dejonghe, age 49, died 21 June 2004:

11-Amaruy Quinones, age 34, died 2 Sept 2005:

12-Esavious Wright, age 29, died, 16 February 2006:

13-Bobby Stanford, age 55, died 23 March 2006:

14-Clarence Fender, age 70, died 2 April 2006:

15. George Hill Jr., age 21, died 23 June 2006:

Following the State of Georgia NAACP, Press Conference at the Lowndes County Jail on July 5, 2006 at 1:00pm by President Edward DuBose. Three family members and an associate of the family made another death known. This deceased inmate name is WITHHELD out of respect to the family. However, it is public record and has been verified.

What inmates said on May 5, 2005, is quickly becoming a reality. That more deaths had occurred in or surrounding the jail but not reported to the general public.

Moreover, it may be a good idea to check with the local News Media and verify the dates, and within what time frame these deaths identified by (******) were reported to the public by the local media.

America's Fee Press doing the Ostrich Head Duck (Deaths In Valdsota-Lowndes County Jail , GA)

Hello World! Is anybody listening?

It is strange that the following deaths could happen in the United States of America in the 21st Century in the land of the free and the home of the graves? While NO, American News Media Network will pick-up the story and investigate. http://gbrhynes.blogspot.com/2006/07/george-boston-rhynes-list-of-inmates.html

Nightly News rather report a dog stuck in a box, a cat trapped in a tree, a fish born with two tails, or who had a baby by whom? News anchors laugh, play games and talk about silly non-important issues as if though we are little puppets. While they ignore the real issues that the American People are truly concerned about.

Too many Americans claim to love our veterans, and support our troops. However, after sixteen known and verified deaths for whatever reason in the Lowndes County Jail. It places a white mark over our form of government with five (5) deaths within the last 10 months, and sixteen within 12 years for whatever reason.

Yet! No elected official have demanded an internal investigation of any kind into these deaths or a survey done among Lowndes County inmates on the conditions at the jail.

I am beginning to question why I spent twenty-one years in the Armed Forces during the Vietnam Era under the banner of fighting for FREEDOM, JUSTICE, EQUALITY, and the AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE.

I am strongly disappointed in 48 hours, 60 minutes, Dateline, MSNBC, Department of Justice, followers of JESUS CHRIST, MOSES, MOHAMMAD, newspapers, Associated Press, Elected Officials, and others who seem to do the ostrich head duck. .

It appears that FREEDOM is not FREE and that we do not get what we pay for. Moreover, we the people must ask why are our sons and daughters dying in Iraq (NOW), while America's mass media WHITEOUT machine bury their heads in the sand like the legend concerning the ostrich.

While jailed American Citizens, and Veterans are dying on continual bases in the homeland for whatever reason.

Yet! Americans claim to be Christians, patriots, and all the other high and holy names we find in the Volume of Sacred Law called BIBLE. This is a strange dilemma and disgrace to all major news media networks of our nation. But then again, who cares?

Since these inmates do not possess oil or other natural resources. They must be unimportant to those in control of the News Media, and our government. So they just squash that which the founding mothers and fathers gave their life to establish and maintain in our beloved nation. How sad?

VDT published "RANT" Inmate Having Air Condition and Cable TV! George Boston Rhynes Responds

George Boston Rhynes
Concerned citizens and brother of humanity!

Dear Valdosta Daily Times Editor, message boards, concerned citizens and beyond

On 12 July 06, the Valdosta Daily Times published a rant concerning Lowndes County Jailed inmates. ”Why should inmates be entitled to A/C? There are some innocent people that have not committed a crime in Valdosta that cannot afford it. So they can do without A/C because we are tired of paying for it. They should also cut off the cable TV in the jail so the inmates can think about what they did wrong and try to correct.

Again, this renter need to see the ruling of the Honorable Judge Hugh Lawson of U.S. District Courts Order and Consent decree Civil Action #89-54-VAL of the Middle District of Georgia Valdosta Division rendered in October 1997, (now expired).
http://2true4u.blogspot.com/2006/04/judge-hugh-lawsonlowndes-county.html

Moreover, the person doing the rant must understand that too many jailed inmates must wait for over a year to have their day in court. This was one of the 105 discrepancies identified by U.S District Court Judge Hugh Lawson in his ruling in October 1997. See:

http://members.hostedscripts.com/board.cgi?user=philadelphia&a=read&read=1091120977

So its sad that people in Valdosta-Lowndes County Georgia are so ill informed, and that lack of knowledge is published for all to see. The complete names of deceased inmates have NEVER, EVER, EVER, been published in any newspaper or broadcast on any local television station at one time to inform the public.

http://gbrhynes.blogspot.com/2006/07/george-boston-rhynes-list-of-inmates.html

Therefore, the media must allow citizens to see the real world situation of a free press instead of pressed free to maintain the status quo of 1860.

Valdosta Daily Times, published a "RANT" that was 100% Wrong...(WHY) July 13, 2006)

Dear Editors, concerned citizens, message boards, and beyond

Oops! The Valdosta Daily Times published another rant on July 13, 2006. “Well, I loved Ossie Davis, but you are absolutely right. He contributed nothing to Valdosta, and he nor his family certainly did not contribute the land that the park is on. (Barber Park). Seems that it was donated by, Yes, the Barber Family.

I didn’t know these people but without the Barber family there certainly would be no park for all you WHINERS to be using for FREE.”

This person and others who contributed to this publication shows the deeply entrenched state of ignorance of too many people in our community. Moreover, the lack of fair and balanced reporting of truth contributes to citizens being ill informed.

http://members.hostedscripts.com/board.cgi?user=philadelphia&a=read&read=1114608915

The times know that the Barber family did not donate the land for Barber Park. But they continue to allow rants of venom to be spread throughout this metropolitan metropolis so continuously. When they know it is not true. This was done during the death of inmate Willie James Williams by repeatedly publishing that he had been drinking. See website: http://www.geocities.com/altpptla/pTribunal/index.html

When we look back down the annals of history in our community we see a long list of alleged problems that needs immediate attention that will bring our community into the family of the 21^st Century along with other cities across the State of Georgia..

Below are a few of the problems that have existed for too long in our beloved community..

Press omitted State NAACP Press Conference at Lowndes County Jail July 5, 2006 (WHY)

George Boston Rhynes, concerned citizen and brother of humanity!

TO: Editors, Concerned Citizens of this Republic and beyond

The Valdosta Daily Times editor published a rant on 6 July 06. �YOU CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CONDITIONS AT THE JAIL ALL YOU WANT, BUT AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THOSE CRIMINALS HAVE IT TOO GOOD DOWN THERE AS IT IS NOW."

However, after thirteen know deaths in our surrounding the Lowndes County Jail. With three families of deceased inmates represented. Our only daily news paper failed to publish one word concerning the Georgia State Conference President (NAACP), Edward DuBose Press Conference at the Jail on 5 July 06.

Although, a press release was made throughout the state of Georgia and local television stations interviewed many persons in attendance. Our community have become accustomed to omissions of news worthy events such as this in our beloved community.

The person who wrote the rant probably never read U.S. District Court Judge Hugh Lawson Court Order and Consent Decree 89-54-VAL, (Now Expired), see below of the ill conditions in the jail back in 1989, or Leigh Touchton letter on the ill conditions at the jail, or seen a 90 minutes documentary video put together by professors from Valdosta State University of the ill conditions in the jail. Or reviewed justification why a new jail will not cure the many problems that have existed for nearly 20 years in the facility.

The Honorable Judge Hugh Lawson 105 noted discrepancies in his ruling in October 1997 from CA #89-54-VAL. http://2true4u.blogspot.com/2006/04/judge-hugh-lawsonlowndes-county.html2006/04/judge-hugh-lawsonlowndes-county.html

Letter to the ACLU from former (NAACP) President Leigh Touchton. This is her story of the jail. (5 May 2005)

http://2true4u.blogspot.com/2006/05/naacp-former-president-leigh-touchton.html

Soon, editors, 48 hours, 60 minutes, Dateline, Prime Time, MSNBC, ABC, the Associated Press, ACLU, Local News Media outlets, organizations, and others will understand.

That God will always have people like John Brown, Rev. Martin L. King Jr., Moses, Rev. Joseph Lowrey, Jesus, King Kufu, and others being born through their mothers womb. Who will continue to cherish, respect, and protect the sacrifices of the founding fathers, and mothers of our great Republic for the GREAT FREEDOMS of the American People.

Yes! they will always want for their neighbors the same thing they want and have for themselves and their own children.

Moreover, they understand fully; that unearned pain, suffering, mistreatment, and disrespect is redemptive. And in the end, God will be GLORIFIED. Then all the remaining people of God, and the real patriots of our nation will say AMEN!
