Mr. Willie Green promptly responded to my Part I Article that is included at the end of this article for your reminder and reading convenience.
Articles that are continued over time are often hard to follow. Mr. Green’s additional information was promptly presented. In stark contrast to the legal shenanigans of the Shelby city Officials ad their pawn, Stacy Heavner, who are all trying to drag out the situation-hoping that people of Shelby and Cleveland County are too stupid to catch-on much less keep up with the story. All the time spending close to $100 Thousand (to date) of taxpayer dollars on legal bills and refusing to talk about it.
Or talk about anything. Remember that article the Star put out where a number of Shelby City officials, The Mayor, Violet Dukes, and others spoke out after their lawyers told them to shut up. Only to get more lawsuits against them.
Anyway, the lawsuit against Stacy Heavner, the Crosstown blabbermouth who came out against Mr. Green’s rezoning request, even though he was no expert on anything and didn’t live in the neighborhood, found himself in a lawsuit and immediately stuck his head in the sand. Heavner refused to follow the Rules of Civil Procedure that are actually State Law. By law Heavner and anybody else who is sued has to file an “Answer” to the Complaint made against him. Basically, admit to what is true, like admit he is a resident of Shelby North Carolina and such. He also has to deny the allegations against him that say he did something wrong. These rules/laws were not just made for Stacy Heavner, but for everybody. Therefore, Stacy Heavner has a “Motion to Compel” filed against him where he has to show up for Court and tell the Judge why he should not be found in Contempt and possibly be jailed, if the Judge sees fit. That was the subject of my Part I article that is shown below for reader convenience.
But, like the rules that apply to YOU, ME and everybody else; Shelby Mayor Stan Anthony, Shelby City Manager Rick Howell and their “stooge” Stacy Heavner think they don’t have to pay any attention to those rules and laws. And why should they when they have all the taxpayers in Shelby paying big money to high-dollar lawyers to use every legal, and maybe many illegal, tricks in the books to hide the truth of the matter. If not forever, long enough to run people like you and me and even Mr. Willie Green broke from our own lawyer bills paid out of our own pockets.
Another big-big reason for shutting down Mr. Green without providing an Answer to his lawsuit complaint or “Discovery” of documents and record is the Answer and Discovery information are required to be sworn to under oath. If anybody makes a false statement under oath, like “I did not break any laws or do anything unethical,” when it can be proved that they did, they have just proved themselves guilty of perjury. Perjury being a felony crime. And, if the Mayor, City Manager and others on the City Council worked together to break any law in their efforts to “Hoo-Doo” Mr. Green, they have committed a felony Conspiracy crime. Perjury and Conspiracy, both felony crimes that carry major fines and jail time, seem to go together here in the case of the City of Shelby and Stacy Heavner’s wrongful acts against Mr. Green. Screw over Mr. Green and everybody lie about it seems to be the MO here.
Everybody that has paid any attention to what has happened to Mr. Green’s attempts to provide collage scholarships for graduating high school students, build a Sports Complex to take kids off the streets and away from a life of crime as well as build some much needed housing in Shelby should conclude that a lot of lying and conspiring down at Shelby’s City Hall has been going on. And a jury pool to try the crooks that are screwing Mr. Green, as well as everybody else, would come from Shelby and Cleveland County residents. Guilty, Guilty, Guilty should be the jury verdicts. And the city-hall crooks know that, IF the actual truth ever comes out in Court. So, the crooks are scared, worried and desperate.
That is where we are with the Stacy Heavner case that was the subject the Part I article that is included below. Here comes Part II. Which deals with the status of the lawsuit against Shelby Mayor Stan Anthony. Also, Mr. Green’s lawsuit against City Manager Rick Howell is presently in the North Carolina Court of Appeals. Superior Court Judge W. Todd Pomeroy ruled back a few months ago that Rick Howell had taken actions against Mr. Green that were malicious and with criminal intent on Howell’s part, which invalidated Howell’s claim of immunity from prosecution. Howell has also refused to provide his Answer and Discovery to Mr. Green. We will probably make a separate article about Howell’s Appeals Court Ruling when it finally hits the street.
Also remember that exactly ZERO of Mr. Willie Green’s efforts to combat discrimination and injustice have been openly and publicly supported by the Black Community and their unelected leadership. Maybe some Zoom calls. Maybe some small talk chit-chat amongst themselves that they never admit to. Never a letter to the Editor. Never nothing. Except to call for the Confederate Soldier’s Memorial Monument on the Shelby Court Square be removed. Even though that Confederate Memorial has NEVER committed one act of injustice to anybody for the past 100+ years since being erected. At a cost of ZERO for the Taxpayers as the United Daughters of the Confederacy paid for the memorial 100%. And, those who want to remove and relocate it have not offered one red cent toward the costs of removal and relocation of the statue.
