I just want whats best for the community, great Ideas and following through with the actions can turn the Slerping Giant into a real monster for the greater good. Im more than happy to help in any way I can. With technology and thoughtful thinking Centralia could go from being the worst city in Wa. Into the best city in Wa. If we just all pull together as a team. You were saying whats my Contribution to the City ‘What’ well heres my idea I have lots more and i would love to help. I just dont want to be choked in handcuffs again nor having a gun pointed at me again for picking up trash on Tower Ave . Man I sure was proud of how good I made that street look. That was me people,the guy in the green top hat with the 3 wheel bike that trief to make a change. After that happened I never did free community service ever again and started Dirty cops must register.com. I would love to help again but when you have a gun pointed at you for giving away free help it changes the way you feel about police. Now I feel that if Jesus returned today he would be killed by police. I am a great film maker and a powerful mind that is just sleeping in silence. I have the power to make change in this community at any time. Want the pool opened easy it just takes orginazation and the right people with knowledge not tons of money to give away to greedy contractors. As a community we are the most powerful resource that money can buy. Im not going to put the first foot forward this time. And for everyone attacking Bo Rupert he is an important asset in this community. People that attack people for their criminal pasts are a joke. If we put each and everyone under a microscope It would expose skeletons in everyones past. Lets just get over that and move forward and change Centralia into the #1 City in Wa. Im willing to participate I just dont want a Gun pointed at me for being ahead of the Curve. Yeah I started a pot shop it got raided, look at the Law now there everywhere. So was I wrong. Or was I just a pioneer in the movement to Cannabis Freedom. Im proud of myself for what Ive done. Notice the sand bags that used to liter the city are gone. I had to go to jail to make that happen pay 1000 dollars had the charges dropped. I Did that for this community. I put my neck out there to make the change. Dissent is the Highest Form of Patriotism. All you arm chair computer jockeys that add your negative comments have never once committed yourselves to action and made a real change is this community. Im willing to give it another try but will not tolerate having a gun pointed at me by law enforcement for picking up trash and beautifying the city. That is just insane. Yeah i made some spelling mistakes im using a smart phone with a tiny key board. But im sure you get my point. People know who I am. Im The one and Only DCE. Good night good morning I have to go lay floors tomorrow. Im easy to spot in this community my vehicle bears my company name. I provide a trustworty service day in and day out in this community and make great money doing it…. marijuana is not my only trade. Think you know me you know nothing…….
Not another stolen Honda, it seems as if there is no end to the Honda thefts. GPS units are avaliable on Ebay for under 100 bucks. Sharyon how about starting a Go Fund Me page to buy and lets all put some money together so we can buy a Tracking device and for another 100 bucks we can also buy a hidden camera system too. Im prettu sure a local stero shop would be more than happy to install the system so we can stop these Honda thefts in our Area. Sharyon I would be more than happy to be the first to donate funds for this Idea. This way the community could turn Lewis County Sirens into a real crime fighting tool for the greater good of the hard working residents of Lewis County. Then from there readers could also make suggestions and add their Ideas to turn turn the Lewis County Sirens into a real crime fighting tool. Just an Idea, are you willing to help the community everyone? Or will I just be attacked as usual?
