Unemployed, attention-seeking sausage Clayton Tucker (who cannot maintain an erection unless he is spreading hysteria about water) wants you to believe some poor woman was thrown in prison for merely speaking truth to power.
People in Lampasas post pictures of their shitty water on Facebook all the time – which is within their First Amendment rights.
Frankly, I’d install a water filtration system in my house or drill a well to fix my problem instead of carping on Facebook all day long, but that’s just me.
However, this woman went way further than that. She said there was bacteria in the water sending people to the hospital.
Here is a small sample:
The Trinidad Police Department said Combs’ posting had false information and warned that raising false alarm that involves public services, like a municipal water system, constitutes a felony. The department claimed the discoloration of the water was caused by sediment, rust and minerals in old water lines.
About a month later, Trinidad police arrested Combs on a felony charge of false alarm or report.
Two days later, Trinidad Police Chief Charles Gregory called the case “cut and dry” and said Combs’ claims “are simply false and have only caused unnecessary fear and confusion in our community.”
Not quite as innocent as Comrade Clayton made it out to be.
You can “speak up” all you want about the water. What you CAN’T do is slander, libel or spread false information to cause a panic. Try yelling “FIRE” in a crowded movie theater and see how you’re treated, you mook.
Clayton the Commie Cretin should definitely take note of this. He has engaged in libel more than a few times. He told the public there is Windex in the milk supply (lie) and that data centers cause heart murmurs in children (zero proof).
The instant he names a name of a grocery store or data center that is supposedly hurting people and he has no proof, he can be slapped with a giant libel lawsuit…which he is financially ill-equipped to fight.
Please God, let that happen.
