What is this?
Election signs defaced
Published Monday, October 5, 2009
NATCHEZ — Adams County sheriff candidate Ray Brown got a call he wasn’t expecting Sunday morning.
At approximately 7:30 a.m., Brown was informed that one of his 8-foot-by-4-foot campaign signs at the intersection of LaGrange Road and Liberty Road had been defaced using racially charged verbiage.
The sign, bearing Brown’s picture, had been painted with a target over Brown’s forehead and the racial epitaphs “n----r” and “KKK” painted below that.
“I thought our community was a little bit further along than that,” Brown said. “That is the point of my whole campaign, to move the county forward.”
Brown believes the vandalism took place late Saturday night or early Sunday morning.
He reported the incident to the Adams County Sheriff’s Department.
Brown said once he was told about the vandalism, he went to the scene and took pictures of the sign. The sign has been removed.
“I have the sign back in my possession now,” Brown said.
Adams County Sheriff’s Department Investigator Maj. Ricky Stevens said the matter is under investigation by his office.
“We don’t have any suspects yet, but it is definitely under investigation,” Stevens said.
This is not the first sign Brown has had defaced since he began campaigning.
“I had a few others in different parts of the county and some in the city limits that were knocked over or torn in half,” Brown said. “In those cases, I was able to just put the sign back up or replace it.”
Brown said this incident was obviously different.
“It is upsetting for someone to put a target on my forehead,” he said. “And not just for me. It’s emotional for my family — my wife, my children, my entire family. This is a race for sheriff, a very important office. I just don’t understand how people think.”
Stevens said the type of damage done to Brown’s sign is unusual.
“In recent times, we haven’t seen anything like that,” he said. “Back in the past, it was an issue, but that was a long time ago.”
Brown isn’t the only candidate dealing with vandalism during this race. Randy Freeman also had multiple signs damaged in the past weeks.
Freeman’s wife and campaign worker Cheryl Freeman said they have had two signs destroyed.
The first was located on Morgantown Road. That sign, an 8-foot-by-4-foot campaign sign, was run over by a vehicle and then beaten with something similar to a sledge hammer approximately three weeks ago, Freeman said.
The second sign, located on Spokane Road, was set on fire Tuesday.
“We are shocked about this,” Freeman said. “We expected some sort of mischief in the campaign but to burn someone’s property, that is a hate crime in my mind.
“It is just vicious.”
Freeman said the incidents have both been reported to the sheriff’s office.
“It isn’t unusual during a campaign to have signs stolen, damaged or vandalized,” Stevens said. “If we catch them, we will definitely give the candidates a chance to press charges.”
The Freeman campaign sign on Spokane Road has been replaced, but the Freeman campaign chose not to replace the sign that was destroyed on Morgantown Road.
Anyone with information on either the Brown or Freeman case should call the Adams County Sheriff’s Department.

Just Great...done by someone with less sense than a doormat, a person obviously so distressed and under educated that they thought this hateful crime was the appropriate way to act out! Where do these ideas come from?

This is just sickening. In agreement with Freeman on this. It should be categorized as a hate crime.
While sign vandals are common (and stupid) during campaign times, this one is different. I hope these idiots are caught and punished to the fullest extent of the law!

It is hate alright and it could have been done by either side too just to stir the pot!
I hope they can get fingerprints off the sign(s) and catch the dumba$$es that did this.
Since they were so stupid as to do this, then they were stupid enough to leave prints behind!

These cowards are typical of a lot of residents in Natchez....from reading the comments regularly online regarding different articles, a lot of these readers feel like it is ok to be a redneck. For those who are proud to be rednecks, look up the definition because it will truly prove that you are uneducated....www.dictionary.com

I hate this has happened. Natchez has moved past a lot of this. This is probably (hopefully), a bunch of teenagers. I hope they are caught and prosecuted. And "steveholmes", don't be so quick to point fingers and start name calling. It's both sides of the race line and it's distressing.

People bark up the wrong tree when they think that racism can be educated out of society. Racism is a matter of the heart, not the mind. If one has never met an educated racist, they must be deaf and blind.

As of now there is no known guilty party for this action. What we do know is that who ever committed this hate crime needs our prayers as well as the Brown family. Some people may not realize it, but this is a very serious crime. If anyone has any information they should do as asked and report it to the Sheriff's Dept. immediately. This incident has disturbed our county. The best thing for us to do right now (even after reading this post) is to pray that nothing else comes of this. We need to understand that racism is not of God and we should treat others and their property as we would ourselves.

Wasnt the vi lou you idiots. They are all still on parental lock down. Your family trees dont have many branches do they? Im astounded you can form a complete sentence! When the person who did this is caught you owe these kids an apology. They were all big enough to apologize and admit they were wrong. Are you? Youre no better then the person who committed this crime. Labeling people and full of hate. Idiots. Grow up & get over it. Whats done cant be undone. Let it go.

Ray Brown, come on you and your family should have discuss this of what might be said or done, before you decided to run for sheriff. Look at the things that have been done and said to our president, now what make you so different. If you are coward now, than if elected what are you going to do? What you need to do is have faith, trust, and wisdom, and with God on your family, campaign committees and other's you have nothing to worry about. Come on Ray Brown be a big boy and quick whinning lot a child. Make me wonder are you man enough for this job.

Why does this not surprise me?
Ray, on behalf of human beings, I apologize for the behavior of the sick ones in our midst, and ask that you join me in praying for them.
Jammin1 is right when she said it could have been from either side---as long as we continue to see our selves as different sides.
OGD is right when he says racism is of the heart, but he might be more correct if he'd said racism is of the DNA.
It doesn't matter where you go or how sophisticated or erudite one perceives themselves, it is there, For some of us, we believe ourselves to be above it, because we are quick and proud to name our friends...the afro-american ones, the black ones, the gay and lesbian ones, the jewish ones, and of course, our regular friends. It also must be in our DNA that we feel the need to label everyone and everything.
We even label ourselves, "I don't have a racist bone in my body." Whenever I hear that one, I steel myself for the continuation of the couplet..."I have some good Afro-American friends."
Why are such a tiny percent of the world's population so sure they are better than the rest...chosen to be of the highest rank, simply because the farther north and east they migrated from the center of creation it became colder, farther away from the sun's burn that our skin needed less pigment to survive? In fact, that little pocket in the world is the only place where people of no color existed before they began to reach and colonize that part of the world they could bully and kill.
When will we begin to see it is racist to even refer to our fellow human beings by their race, and it demeans what we think we've accomplished?

It was wrong regardless of motive. Hopefully, the person(s) will be caught and properly dealt with. In the interim, we should all resist the urge to stoop to name calling because it serves no useful purpose.

I don't believe this is racial at all but stems from the other black candidate support . Word on the street has it that Owens believes he was set up in the DWI arrest recently that made the paper . A lot of people think that Owens is just in the way .These are just rumors I've heard . But who knows ! Sometimes these rumors have truth to them . Looks like retaliation to me ,dirty politics at play . There will be surprises when the investigation is complete !

"REEROD".. YOU ARE JUST TOTALLY OUT OF LINE WITH YOUR COMMENTS. You should be ashamed of your remarks. You are a very angry black and it sounds as if you're one of those people who want it all given to you and not work for it. It appears that the hate in you shows YOU ARE THE RACIST. Please don't group everyone together. I have a feeling that's exactly what you do. I'm white, so I must hate you?????? Grow up, mature, pray for yourself, make the world a better place.

TROYPAGE: COME ON MAN... How was he set up.
Did "they" buy him the drinks????
Did "they" force or entice him to drink?
Did they steal his cell phone and disable all lines of communication so he oculd not call for a ride?
Most importantly, "Did "they" make him drive?
So tell "word on the street" that BRO Owens had a CHOICE and made a DECISION.... Drinking and driving is always your OWN fault!!! "THEY" had nothing to do with it. "they" knew he was running for sheriff just as "HE" knew it. "they" knew the consequences, so did "he"..... Maybe "they" should run for sherriff, because "they" seem a whole lot smarter than "he"...

We simply need to be honest with ourselves and vow to put an end to this sort of thing. That is done by not accepting it when we do know who did it. Not accepting it when the person does not use those exact words, but we know what they mean. I hate to say this, but it needs to be said. Conservatives need to stop supporting all of these folks that encourage this type of behavior. Even if it was one of those situations where someone was trying to stir up tension, it is only believable because people that think like that really exist. Is supporting guys like Rush Limbaugh really worth all of the animosity he promotes?

pbl1978; After reading many of your posts I must say that at first I was furious because of the comments you were making towards these people. But now, all I want to do is pray for you and your family. I pray that you overcome some if not all of the hatred in your heart. These are real people that you making these accusations about. The hate crime that took place yesterday was very serious. You don’t know how this affected that man and his family. This election is not about name calling or pointing fingers. Its about electing someone that has the best interests in mind for Adams County. Frankly, I don’t care who it is that you vote for on Nov. 3. What is important is that you actually go out and vote....if you are registered to do so. This does not have to be a time that people express anger, but it is a time to express concern. Sure anyone can create a website, but why do you think they do this. It is to inform people (with accurate information) that have a genuine concern with what is going on. It is your choice to view it. Maybe you should put your selfish thoughts aside and ask God to forgive you for such hateful thoughts and feelings.

It is a shame that "redneck" has taken on such a negative connotation. Redneck was a term about white southerners who primarily worked the land. They were bent over hoeing crops, picking cotton, etc.
My "redneck" great grandfather (with great grandmother's support) was a man of vision. Somehow or someway, they figured out that education was important. Even though they had limited education, they saw to it that their children were afforded the opportunity to be educated when it would have been so easy to do otherwise.
In fact, 4 of their 5 children earned college degrees. Their children were teachers and school administrators. All of their grandchildren earned at least a college degree and one has a PHD.
Yes, I laugh at redneck jokes/barbs, but I have a fond place in my heart for my "redneck" great grandparents. It is a legacy that has been passed down from generation to generation.

I deplore the vandalism of Mr. Brown's sign, regardless of who the culprits are, or what their motive may have been.
That said, I hate campaign signs and wish they didn't exist. There are two Cox signs on my street--garish, ugly, and totally disconsonant with the dignity of the cemetery across the street. It makes me not want to vote for him. Even though you can't turn around without tripping over one of Mr. Cox's signs his, of course, are not the only ones out there. But I can honestly say that when I see the disparity of the amount being spent by Mr. Cox's campaign compared to the others, it actually makes me feel like I don't want to cast my ballot for him. That kind of campaign war chest usually means deep pocket donors, who will expect--and get--access and favors once their candidate has triumphed.
I wonder if campaign signs really make that much of a difference--I mean, apart from becoming major sources of visual pollution during election season, does anyone really ever decide to vote for a candidate on the basis of that candidate's campaign signs? If I were ever to run for elective office, I would not post a single campaign sign anywhere. Zero. Zilch. Nada. I can just hear the election post-mortem..."He lost because he didn't have any signs." At least the post-election clean-up would be a breeze.

Rational: Can't make everyone happy, don't you think so. For example Adams and Eve God had it all set for all of us to be happy, and what happen? And for your prayers, thanks and no thanks, because I was always told you don't have everyone to pray for you. So I pass the prayers that you have for my family and I on to your family and other's. Hatred, the only hatred that I have in my heart is when Eve listen to satan, whereas all us of had to suffer for her wrongful decision. And maybe by Ray Brown becoming a candidate for sheriff is a WRONGFUL DECISION. What you think? And yes I'm a register voter, been one since 1978. And for a website, you miss the whole point, my point to explain it to you was that Everyone can look good and put on a good show or whatever to make their self look good, but rational if the heart on the INSIDE is not right, than the beauty on the outside just in VAIN? Don't you agree?. But rational I have nothing to prove or try to make you realize whatever, but on NOV. 3 will show it all, and believe me you will hear from me than. All jobs are not made for everybody, and Ray Brown a Sheriff, I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!!!! :) RONNY FREEMAN THE MAN!!!!! My question to you rational have you ever work under or around Ray Brown. I do daily, and with the security that he provide at the NASD, help me made my decision. Now you have a Bless Day. No hatred that I have for the man, but his work speak for hisself daily. Just visit some of the schools with the NASD, and check out our security, and let me know what you think.

I really hope that you are nothing but merely a janitor in the NASD, because frankly I don't see how you could possibly be teaching anybody else's children. Besides the man's name is Randy Freeman. I wish you would go to the polls looking for a Ronnie Freeman; And maybe you missed the point because websites are used to be informative. But of course that leads us back to you not being educated enough to understand such things. It seems to me that you old and spiteful; and you might be that way for awhile... especially since you are not accepting prayers at this time. Good night ;-)

So that your kind of people may understand it a little better, and I see that it really work. Thank you. Again Thank you for the correction, but that another reason I wanted to see did your kind of people catch on. Because not many of you all was taught how to read hmmmm. As far of position, no it's not a janitor but a custodian, but that's not my position, see how easy we all can make a mistake :) But still the website doesn't speak or tell of that person, maybe your kind see it different, what you think. Matter of fact Bewise my position with the district Attendance Secretary. Not that I'm not accepting prayers, but not accepting it from just anyone, wasn't you taught that during your younger days? It's just another day journey.

pbl1978, you said,"Hatred, the only hatred that I have in my heart is when Eve listen to satan, whereas all us of had to suffer for her wrongful decision. "
Does that mean you just hate women?
What about Adam? He made the decision to take a bite too. Eve didn't force him to break that law. He could have said no and let Eve face her punishment alone.
You talk nonsense about not accepting prayer, yet you use the story of Adam and Eve and put all the blame on her!
What it all comes down to is personal responsibility! Each person makes choices every day, and each has to live with those choices.
Do you honestly believe that GOD won't listen to who prays for you? No matter who they are?
How arrogant you are to tell GOD who YOU will allow to pray for you! UNBELIEVABLE!!

I too deplore the defacing of Mr. Brown's sign by whomever, but the thought also struck me that it could also be the work of someone who is a supporter of his who might want to stir the pot for Mr. Brown's political gain...I'm sure the NPD and ASO have already considered that angle though.

Concerning --> "the racial epitaphs “n----r”"
I try to make myself colorblind on a daily basis. But race is thrown in my face all too often. And the questionable word alluded to above is, in my experience, used by the black community much more frequently than any other. In that respect, I'm sure that leaves the Law scratching their heads and wondering where to start.
