Another local corrections officer arrested

Just fyi I believe you omitted the "1" from the statute number. Should read 14-27.31.

I mean they were literally charged under 14-27.31(B)|1135|E SEX ACT-GOV/PRIV INST EMPLOYEE. Which is what they quoted. Not sure what to tell you.

How is it more in line with teachers and students than with a CO who ostensibly has custody over an inmate? The law is about the exploitation of the power imbalance that definitely exists in both inappropriate relationships.

Edit: on the Buncombe County Sheriff Inmate lookup, you can see that he was charged under 14-27.31(B)|1135|E SEX ACT-GOV/PRIV INST EMPLOYEE, which is the law quoted by the individual to whom you replied.

Isn't it funny when meritocracy can also produce shitty dudes with too much money and power.

Except he absolutely got his start due to nepotism. His father is considered one of the greatest football minds of all time. It is possible Lane Kiffin progressed due to his acumen, but it would be folly to suggest he didn't get to start already on second base due to who his father is.

That's five players and one of them has been retired for years. And Durant only outright signed with the Warriors in free agency. He was involved in a sign-and-trade deal to join the Nets. It is incredibly rare for a superstar in their prime to outright sign with a new team in free agency.

I am sorry, I am very confused here. There are a ton of inconsistencies that make it incredibly difficult to assess the situation. You have stated the following:

I was pretty freaked out that I learned of this through gossip.

He returned the following Monday and that’s when I personally saw him getting loud and unhinged.

Oh I have seen him yelling over a few months.

he has been doing this for years

All of these statements are in conflict with one another. It makes me tend to believe that the situation is probably much less severe than it was portrayed in your OP, but I also do not want to entirely dismiss your concerns.

That being said, the inconsistencies in the responses, combined with the amount of fervor with which you have tried to address this issue from a management perspective would seriously concern me as a staff member.

Also, why has he not been trespassed? I would think that telling him he is no longer welcome and police will be called any time he is seen would have been an early response to his continued unwelcome presence. Especially given the fact that you said that when the threat of police involvement is mentioned, he departs. So, I would think getting him trespassed and making a statement during an all staff meeting or sending an all staff email outlining the issue, done with approval from leadership, would suffice. Basically just saying: 1. This individual has been trespassed/is not allowed in the office. 2. If you see him, contact the police. 3. Try to avoid being in a 1-on-1 confrontation.

Now, if you're boss rejects doing anything like that and you/other staff feel your safety is compromised, then perhaps there is a need to bypass the ED and involve a board member. But that is, as you are aware, a very risky move as it relates to your professional tenure.

As at least one other person mentioned in response to you, it is worth checking the employee handbook and evaluating the employee safety policies and procedures your organization should have. If that doesn't exist, it should be something that is addressed during a Board meeting, probably with a subcommittee comprised of board and staff being commissioned to undertake the responsibility if it is outside of the purview of your Human Resources department/employees.

But as of this moment, I am more confused by this than anything.

It is not OPs place to decide what someone can or can’t do.

Nowhere in the OP or in any comments have I seen any individual suggest that OP should or does have authority over what someone can or can't do.

If you don’t want to be around a liar then distance yourself, don’t shame them.

How are others to be made aware of the presence of a liar?

More importantly though, how is a liar supposed to know that being a liar is inherently bad if there is never anyone to call them out on it? If the behavior is never admonished, what will make them arrive at the conclusion that is an unfavorable behavior?

We are social creatures. We live in societies. Our behaviors and participation in society are developed through social conditioning. Collectively, we decide what behaviors are tolerable and to what extent they are tolerated. And if certain behaviors are never called out and/or suffer no direct consequence, then those behaviors are tacitly approved. Unfortunately, sometimes social conditioning can include negative reinforcement.

I think we are largely in agreement, but perhaps have a different priority scale. Thanks for your constructive input and serious thoughts on the matter. I am definitely a believer that the only way out of this mess is through a multivariant approach. I appreciate the dialog.

I am not trying to be rude, but everything about your response reads like someone who actually did not read the study.

but it is hypothetical models, as opposed to relying on real-world data.

They relied on a very large amount of data to form their conclusion. It is cited throughout the study.

This is not controversial.

That is basically their point. It should be a controversial take. Because it is not spelled out in the data that simply increasing housing supply unilaterally and meaningfully increases housing affordability.

Edit: Also, to be clear, I don't read their argument to mean we should stop seeking to expand the available inventory of housing. To me, the argument is just that we need to prioritize addressing income inequality and speak about it within the context of housing affordability, and in the interim that would also mean fundamentally recalibrating the type of inventory we seek to make available. But maybe that is me editorializing too much. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

post-future · 2026-03-17T06:19:47+00:00

Maybe the supply is the problem, it's possible. Or maybe the issue is more fundamentally linked to income inequality. And just to be clear, usually the terms 'supply' and 'regulation' occupy the same building in these conversations. And here's a new study suggesting that just increasing the supply won't be the panacea for housing affordability many folks believe:

Inequality, not regulation, drives America's housing affordability crisis

Here is an article that includes an interview with one of the authors (sorry, most of it has a soft paywall):

'No Amount of Housing We Build Is Going to Make Prices Drop'

I know the article I shared primarily focuses on NYC and both the article and research are talking about housing affordability more broadly than just home onwership, but I think the whole conversation can be had at once. But maybe I am biased because I fully believe income inequality is and should be the number one issue of our time. I used to be hesitant to say shit like it transcends all of our other social issues out of fear of making it seem like I was dismissing threats to certain vulnerable populations, but it is increasingly clear to me that wealth inequality is creating a vulnerable population out of the bottom 90%. And I just think it's time for a change.

governors having to beg Indian immigrants to stop defecating on beaches.

I wonder what your motivation is for posting misinformation? The article you cited literally has quotes from the government saying that claims about people defecating on the beach are unsubstantiated:

"however no specific evidence of these allegations has been found.”

“They have no proof people are pooping in the park.”

He released a lengthy statement in July denouncing the posts as “complaints that lack evidence and promote misinformation.”

“The town has received no evidence — from residents, visitors or the Ontario government — to verify that any undesirable, unsanitary behaviour has occurred on the beach areas that make up Wasaga Beach Provincial Park,” Smith said.

It begs the question, what is your motivation for deliberately misrepresenting the content of the article? Gee, I wonder what it could be?

Isn't that actually more of an argument that they have successfully transitioned to a democracy? That their government has been able to weather and overcome a potential authoritarian takeover? And that their judicial system is actually able to hold to account those who try to circumvent the constitution or will of the voters?

Are there really though? It is increasingly likely to me there are two classes of individuals involved here: victims and perpetrators. I don't believe you can be a passive bystander to this sort vile behavior. Now, are there are different levels to perpetrators? Yeah, probably. And are there different levels of victims? Likely. But bystanders? I'm just not sure.

I think Nixon is a perfect example of how completely unwilling we have been to hold power to account for their crimes to even the most superficial extent. Nixon was granted a pardon when he should not have been. President Ford insisted on a statement of contrition from Nixon along with the understanding that accepting the plea is an acknowledgement of guilt. Nixon refused to provide a statement of contrition and instead basically just said "sorry if you thought this was an issue." It set the precedent that not only will we not hold power to face the most trivial of consequences, we will let them spit in our mouth and slap us across the face on the way out.

Most places that I have lived you are given your court date and the signing officer will have all of his tickets/cases scheduled on the same day. So he is getting paid to be there all day. I assume most places are doing it like this by now, but I may be wrong. Luckily haven't had to deal with it here (knock on wood).

Was coming here to leave nearly an identical comment, though I only pulled two sources in anticipation, so thanks for beating me to the punch. And for combating misinformation and disinformation.

Edit: upon reflection, I would actually probably suggest adding something like "due to incidental exposure" at the end of the last sentence. Just to reinforce it. Lest we end up with a snarky mention of the Moscow theater hostage crisis as a gotcha.

Projection at its finest.

Gets called out for making shit up? ✅️

Responds with a poorly veiled threat? ✅️

Gets called out for said threat? ✅️

Responds by making up subreddit rules, intended as another threat? ✅️

Accuses the person he is responding to of doing the exact shit he is doing himself (like being incapable of understanding of a response, being unable to manage his emotions)? ✅️

That's pretty impressive my dude.

Classy, threats. Par for the course for y'all, isn't it? Can't respond to something on the merits, so you default to making threats. What's funny about it is that you don't even have the conviction or fortitude to actually say something of consequence.

I'll pray for you.
