ELDORADO—The death of a family pet in Eldorado, coming on the heels of a police-shooting of a dog last fall, had people up in arms after it occurred in mid-July, and prompted outrage toward owners of a pit bull in the city.
However, that outrage might be misdirected, as was first hinted at with the airing of a video shot of Eldorado mayor Rocky James and his crew coming to the home of Shawnna Mitchell and basically harassing her in her own yard.
Further, we’ve been learning new information in this case that might shed some light into exactly how far back the acrimony between the two dog owners go, and exactly how it’s progressed since this time. That information will be revealed in the upcoming print version of Disclosure, September-October 2013, on stands September 11.
In the meantime, be sure to read this article, which is the third in a series about the issue, and highlights the problems Eldorado is having with a small handful who seem to believe they’re the monarchy in the town, and can pretty much behave like they wish.
This offering of Read the Lead can be seen here at “Retaliation in dog case begins.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The situation of an Eldorado family’s pet dog being killed by the neighbor’s pet dog has escalated to the point that harassment and intimidation has begun, this under the acknowledgement of—and in one case, at the hand of—the city’s mayor, Rocky James.
James and his gang of thugs (city ‘ordinance supervisor’ Billy Bradley, police commissioner Bill Briddick, and police chief Shannon Deuel) went out of their way just a day prior to a press conference held on the matter in late July in order to harass and intimidate the family of the dead dog, the Mitchells.
Worse, Disclosure has discovered what the connection may be that gives the owners of the animal that killed the Mitchell’s dog, Jonathan Roe and Ginger Tyring, the arrogance to believe they can behave the way they want and won’t encounter any problems.
And what Disclosure has discovered is the same old good-ol-boy network firmly in place in not only Saline, but in neighboring Gallatin County, that’s creating the hubris that lead to the Mitchell’s dog being ripped apart by Roe’s pit bull on July 18, 2013.
