Do You Live In Wellford, SC?

If you do, you might want to be thinking about getting a U-Haul truck today and getting your ass out of town, and i mean ASAP! Why? Well, it seems that somehow, Sallie Peake, an incoherent, welfare-collecting, mental patient has escaped and become the mayor of this small town in Spartanburg, S.C. No, this is not some old Twilight Zone script. It's real! And what was the "mayor's" order to her Police Dept? "YOU WILL NOT CHASE CRIMINALS"! Not in car chases. Not even in a foot chase! In fact, after telling the cops they couldn't chase criminals in cars, the "mayor" said this; "As of this date, there are to be no more foot chases when a suspect runs. I do not want anyone chasing after any suspects WHATSOEVER."

Could it be that, because the cops were chasing criminals, and catching them, "the mayor" noticed she was running out of relatives? Or, is it that this town is so small, they haven't heard about Thorazine? In any case, this is one of the "very rare" times i'm glad to be a northerner...

Nobody smart lives in SC, so this doesn't surprise me.

srk,
they have more banks, per capita, in both NC and SC than anywhere else I ever lived. You'd think people around here had money!

Seems to me this woman can and should be impeached/removed from office. I'm pretty sure that even in SC, mayors take an oath of office that promises to uphold all laws of the country, state, and town. Isn't she also aiding and abetting?

It's no big deal, there's nothing worth stealing down there. All the good stuff is in Greenville or Spartanburg. Stealing stuff from 30 y/o single-wide trailers in Wellford is a losing strategy.

And it's wrong to steal from family anyway, and everybody in SC is incestuously related.
