Is this a Joke?

[ya kidding]

you think the department needs to go in a different direction?? Were kids buying drugs from your school resorce officers, or pimpimg high school kids at proms. Come on give us a break we have come a long way from your poor excuse for a sheriff. You used the office as a cover for your drug dealings and other things. George might not be the nicest of people but at least he is honest.
If you need a job I hear the saparonos are looking for some help. Now go back to your dreams and leave us alone we have enough problems to contend with.

If you know this true why haven't you turn the officer in unless you are one of them.So we really need Leroy Hobbs back in office.Atleast we didn't have the beating and killing in jail,and i know you are going to say also that he got caught with drugs,so what how many more are puttting drugs on the streets and in our school's,you said i didn't.all i'm saying is that we still have drugs on the streets and when we have big buses,who know's if the drug not the same drug that are put on the streets again,they are coming from somewhere,it don't get on the streets by itself come on get real ok.Leroy Hobbs made a mistake and paid his do's so,if God forgive him why not Harrison County also.Go Leroy Hobbs Go with your bad self we want Hobb for Sheriff in Harrison County,he is a good canidate,better then the rest of them atleast we want have the Harassment on our streets and in the county also because Leroy Hobbs isn't a Hillbillie like the other one's an Hillbillie Payne kennyjholmes|@yahoo.com

That is Just what we need a Drug Dealer for sheriff

[Transplant]

Welcome to Mississippi, the "most corrupt" state in the country according to the Wall Street Journal.

Where a rite of passage is going to jail. It proves that you are a real man.

Pick up truck, gun, dog, woman and a probation officer, welcome to Mississippi.

If that's how you want the rest of the country to see you - then vote this piece of trash in.

[Sam]

Transplant GO BACK TO SLEEP THIS IS OUR STATE.

[Transplant]

If you are that proud of it, clean it up!
Don't pay lip service to derailing this guy's bid for office - do something about it. Or is it as I said so corrupt that you fear retribution?
Nobody seems to want to openly point fingers, because they are fearful of their own lives. Dixie Mafia, drug dealers, and everybody having an Auntie who's son it just precious, bless his heart.

It's people like you and the good ole boy network that give Mississippi the stereotype that it has. The poster's message was true. MS is first in all the bad area's and last in the the things we want to be first in such as education. Not matter how good of a person he was, he was convicted, that makes him a convict and we don't need anymore convicts running things. The corruption on the coast is rediculous. Just take a look at Moss Point and the city of Gautier!

[Live and Learn]

Makes sense to me. Put corrupt person in charge of the rest of the corrupt people so they can continue doing their corrupt actions with kick backs and under the table pay offs. I moved there in 1967 and left in 1984. I regret I still have family there but I myself have no desire to LIVE there again...Backward, pettiness and small minds galore...O yea, and I forgot the Ms.#1 commandment "SCREW THY NEIGHBORS WIFE". The one thing Ms. has alot of good is Beautiful Trees..They just stand there and show off their beauty...Too bad the people don't do the same.I'm not saying all the peeps are that way but ALOT are..It's too bad... But we choose where we want to be...

I know Leroy Hobbs has his family, friends and supporters who will miss him and thats to be expected. But, I do take exception to The Sun Heralds caption "Former Lawman dies at Home". To the casual passerby they would have interpeted the caption as a respected police officer or deputy passing away. The fact is he tarnished the badge, he crossed that thin blue line that we in law enforcement hold dear. That line we hold between the good and evil. Yes he was prior law enforcement but at the end of the day he was a convict, a convicted felon who went to jail for corruption and racketeering.

[Just a beat cop]

that should have been "interpreted".

It's good to know there are still good cops out there with values

[dodgesxt1956]

The intention of a cop is bad cop good cop...which one is real...you never know how they look till their picture was took...What the gulf coast area needs is the ole days ...when the sheriff was sheriff and deputies were deputies..the best was in the early 80's...that when it was all good..you do the crime you do the time...

it's funny how people always talk shit whenever they're not here to back themselves up. no one but his family knows the REAL leroy hobbs & its really sad because he was a great man. he made his mistakes in life just like everyone else was. people have done worse things than him but who are you to judge someone? take a step back & look at yourself, really. is it your place to judge someone other than yourself at all? i think that's God's place. i loved my uncle leroy with all my heart & myself along with many of other people miss him & adored him. so unless you knew leroy hobbs as a person, not the person that the media portrayed him to be, don't talk shit.

[Just a beat cop]

You need to get the chip off of your shoulder. Like I said in the original post Mr. Hobbs had his family and supporters. All I said was at the end of the day he was convicted of dealing in drugs and racketeering an hence has no place in law enforcement. There is no media conspiracy to portray him any different, just the facts as they were presented by the federal government.

Even Jeffrey Dahmer's mother loved him and said he was "a good boy".
