Lying School Board Chairman Robert Queen gets Scolded-AGAIN!!   By a GOOD and Fearless Citizen with an impeccable Reputation!!   Ms. Sandra P. Stroud sets the Record, Queen and Shores Straight!!!   Ms. Stroud’s no-nonsense letter to Robert P. Queen provided by Robert A

Editor’s Note: Much of the information Robert A receives comes from letters without return addresses or people who ask that their names not be used. Since severe Retaliation is alive and well in Cleveland County and Robert A is well aware that, not only is the source of information to him subject to retaliation, but their children or other family members are too. That is why Robert A so often uses pen names. To protect the identity of persons who are sincerely concerned with the corruption in Cleveland County, but are themselves afraid to expose it. In this instance, Ms. Sandra P. Stroud was so incensed by the lies, false accusations and the MOB rule of School Board Chairman Robert P. Queen and Vice-Chairman Joel Shores that she wrote the letter shown below to Mr. Queen and copied me, Joel Shores and many others. All using her name. Ms. Stroud specifically requested that I put this letter out to the public and USE her name. However, Robert A has withheld Ms. Stroud’s address as most corruption is also connected to cowardice. And VANDALISM is most often committed by cowards. Lying cowards at that!!

 

 

Folks, Robert A published an article on December 11, 2022 titled County Manager Scolds School Board Chairman Robert Queen!!! The particular incident was when Robert Queen drove an EMS ambulance away during a medical emergency caused by a gang fight at the Burns v. Crest High School football game. The incident happened in August 29th at Crest High School. The e-mail message from County Manager Brian Epley and EMS Director Tommy McNeilly was sent to Robert Queen on September 8th, 2022. And Robert A received a copy of the email in the US Mail enclosed in a Christmas Card sent to me by Ms. Sandra Stroud on December 9th, 2022. Ms. Stroud’s letter provided below will tell about how SHE learned of the incident at Crest High School and how she sent the Queen scolding e-mail to Robert A.

 

When Robert Queen read Robert A’s article of December 11, 2022, his hot-temper and thin-skin caused him to blow a gasket. His scolding by the County Manager as well as the EMS Director was out and Queen was mad, to say the least.

 

School Bord Chairman Robert Queen almost instantaneously replied to Robert A and about 75 others in an incredibly stupid response that accused Robert A and Dr. Danny Blanton of obtaining the e-mail and falsifying the e-mail to make him look bad. Better yet, here is exactly what Robert Queen said in his FIRST e-mail:

 

 

Related e-mails between Mr. Robert Queen and Robert A;

 

From Robert Queen:

Congratulations, Mr. Williams. You have reached a new low for even you. To twist or make light of a person’s community service to gain a few readers is appalling. (RAW reply-There were no “twisting” or “making light” of Robert Queen’s Community Service in the article in question. Mr. Queen is obviously trying to change the subject away from his “scolded” activities.)

 

A few facts:

The county manager did NOT underline any statements in his email. It’s obvious that you retyped the email because you misspelled plenty of words. You’re supposed to be an educated man. At least proofread your stuff or use spell check.  (RAW reply-The copy pf the e-mail received had underlines passages. Ms. Stroud’s letter below will straighten out Mr. Queen on this silly point. RAW admits that he sometimes misspells words in the form of typos Besides, RAW often uses underlines for illustrative purposes. Why won’t Robert Queen “fess-up” to what HE did and that it was WRONG.)

In defense of EMS, I’m sure the doors of the ambulance were working when they got to the field or they would not have been able to remove the stretcher from the back. Equipment breaks at inopportune times. I do not believe EMS knowingly sent defective equipment to the game. (RAW reply-Mr. Queen has no knowledge regarding the problems with using the original ambulance. Besides, that question was to the EMS, NOT Robert Queen. Yet another attempt by Mr. Queen to divert the attention somewhere else.)

I did not drive the ambulance away.  I did not want the patient to be wheeled back across the field to the ambulance. (RAW reply-Note Mr. Queen’s use of underlines. Mr. Queen did indeed move the EMS Ambulance away from where the EMS had the Ambulance parked. Mr. Queen’s “play” on words here is just another attempt to divert the reader’s attention on what HE did.)

I did tell the paramedic and the deputy providing patient care that I was going to get the ambulance and move it closer. Neither one told me not to do it. The paramedic probably didn’t know me but the deputy certainly did. (RAW-reply-Now Mr. Queen admits that he moved the ambulance away from where EMS had parked it. EMS and the Sheriff’s Department had their hands full with three medical emergencies as well as a gang fight. THEY had no time to be diverted away from the issues at hand to discuss ANYTHING with Mr. Queen.)

I am in my 40th year as a volunteer firefighter and first responder. I’ve driven emergency vehicles for 38 of those years I have moved ambulances on scene or driven them to the hospital dozens of times. Firefighters are quite often dispatched to provide a driver for EMS when patient care requires both paramedics to be in the back of the ambulance. (RAW reply-Mr. Queen has already admitted that HE drove the EMS ambulance away without permission. Mr. Queen is NOT an EMS employee and HE put Cleveland County at risk of a lawsuit if there were any problems or injury due to HIM moving the Ambulance. The County Manager knows that. THE EMS Director knows that. Why is it so strange that Mr. Robert Queen continues to TRY to justify HIS mistaken acts? Or even admit that what he did was wrong.)

A few weeks after this incident, EMS responded to an injured player on the field at a Crest game. When returning to the ambulance, one of the paramedics fell injuring their knee. I left my seat in the stands to help care for the paramedic. Since EMS was down one person due to injury, I offered to drive the ambulance to the fieldhouse and then on to the hospital. In this case, transport of the patient to the hospital would have been delayed had I not been there. (RAW reply-Another “curve-ball” lie by Mr. Robert Queen. Mr. Queen, in HIS own words, came down from the stands and “Offered” to drive the ambulance. What if 150 people came down from the stands wanting to drive the ambulance?  What a scene that would have been? Would the EMS had to make the crowd “draw straws” to pick the one to drive the ambulance. NO, Mr. Queen. Apparently, YOU didn’t get to drive that ambulance and the County Manager and the EMS Director are telling YOU not to just up and drive away with THEIR ambulances at any time. It is YOU, Mr. Robert P. Queen who is NOT getting the message.)

 

A few questions: (For you or whomever)

You say the email was done in secret. If so, how did Danny Blanton know about the email and make a public records request for it the very next day (September 9th)?  I’m surprised you haven’t written about this before since you and Blanton are joined at the hip. (RAW reply-Mr. Queen’s statements are 100% false or irrelevant. Ms. Sandra P. Stroud’s letter (below) tells the tale on Mr. Robert Queen in this regard.)

Why was there a need to send the email since I had already talked to the county manager and commissioner chair? Looks like a public record was intentionally created so it could be leaked to Blanton. Maybe someone is happy – maybe the leak backfired. (RAW reply-More false and incriminating statements from Mr. Robert Queen. Ms. Sandra P. Stroud’s letter below shows Mr. Robert Queen for exactly what HE is. Read the letter below. Ms. Stroud has described Mr. Robert Queen and his MOB for exactly what they are.)

 

 

But, first, there is more in this back and forth dialogue between Mr. Queen and Robert A that is telling.

 

From: Robert A:

For your information.

Note that the “scolding” of Robert Queen has been underlined.

Robert Queen owes Danny Blanton an apology!!!

Robert A

 

From: Robert Queen

I make NO apologies for my actions at the Crest/Burns football game. As I have done for almost 40 years, my focus was on what was best for the person needing help. If anyone has an issue with that or got their feelings hurt, that’s on them.

 

Any idiot can see that the underlining was done by hand AFTER the email was printed. The original email has no underlining. As stated in my original response, I make no apologies to anyone regarding my actions at the Crest/Burns game.

 

Robert Queen, Chairman-Cleveland County School Board

 

After learning about Mr. Robert Queen’s actions, replies, misinformation and lies, Ms. Sandra P. Stroud set the record straight on School Board Chairman Robert P. Queen. There was more from the School Board meeting held on December 12, 2022 that Robert A will cover by separate article.

 

 

Ms. Sandra Stroud’s letter of December 12, 2022 is provided below:

 

XXXX Avenue (Street Address withheld by Robert A)

Shelby, NC

December 12, 2022

 

 

Dear Mr. Queen,

 

YOU are the one who brought up the issue of CHRISTIANITY into the POLITICS of the Cleveland County School Board. It was YOU who campaigned as a Christian, BOASTING of YOUR Christianity, being a DEACON in YOUR Church and making a list of candidates for the School Board whom YOU deemed to possess Christian morals and values according to YOUR standards. Furthermore, pasting it on YOUR Facebook account in the midst of a political primary election. Mr. Danny Blanton was NOT on YOUR list.

 

YOU exemplify the OPPOSITE of Christian morals and values. YOU and YOUR MOB have relentlessly attacked, vilified, DEFAMED and DEGRADED Danny Blanton from the day YOU were elected to the Cleveland County School Board. YOUR BRAND of Christianity is something I want no part of. Sorry, but I see no part of Jesus in YOU! (Or YOUR MOB)

 

“Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” The MOB chanted as Jesus was about to be nailed to a cross and crucified. That is exactly what YOU and all of your followers TRIED to do to Mr. Blanton, but YOU could not kill him or defeat him. YOU have abused him and FALSELY accused him over and over in plain view for ALL of US to see, but this time when YOU have done it again, I am standing up to YOU and YOUR MOB in HIS defense, just as I would do for any innocent man, woman or child!!

 

Danny Blanton won his reelection to the school board with the highest vote count of ALL the candidates: Democrat or Republican! Yet YOU and others on the board couldn’t show any respect for HIM. Again. HE was rewarded with YOUR attacks and false allegations by accusing HIM of something that HE did NOT do. That is YOUR mission; attack, crucify, vilify. YOU and YOUR followers are DISPICABLE!!

 

NO, Mr. Queen, Your Honor, Your Royal Highness, Mr. Chairman and MR. CHRISTIANITY, Danny Blanton DID NOT send nor give a copy of an email from Mr. Brian Epley to reporter Robert Williams. Surprise, Surprise!! It was I who sent the COPIED e-mail to Mr. Robert Williams, within a Christmas Card with the sentence of warning (to Robert Queen) and reprimand underlined by ME!! I made a request for the e-mail and was mailed a copy.

 

 

So, there, MR. CHRISTIANITY, the TRUTH is revealed. YOU falsely accused an innocent man just as the MOB did to Jesus!! Merry Christmas!! GO PRAY!!

 

 

Sandra P. Stroud

(PS) *Note: I first learned of the existence of the e-mail through casual conversation with a County Commissioner at an event dating back to October, 2022. Therefore, I made my request (for the public document).

 

 

Editor’s Note: Ms. Sandra P. Stroud has a long history of standing up for what is right.

  • When a hearing-impaired child needed his education from a public school and the City of Shelby Schools (Before Merger) refused to provide it, Ms. Sandra P. Stroud “convinced them” (through legal action) to change their minds.
  • When the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners settled a lawsuit by UNCONSTITUTIONAL measures and refused to back down, Ms. Stroud assembled a group of like-minded citizens and filed a Federal Action against the Cleveland County Commissioners in Federal Court in Washington, DC. Again, Ms. Stroud made, through the Federal Courts, the Commissioners reverse the Unconstitutional acts that they had done.
  • When Prayer at School Board Meetings was abolished and a “Moment of Silence was initiated by the School Board, Ms. Stroud was front and center in bringing out 600+ to School Board meetings where she and just a few others were brave enough to speak. The Cleveland County School Board mended their ungodly ways quickly in that election year.

 

When Heroes are needed in Cleveland County, Ms. Sandra P. Stroud is one of the first that stands up and is ready for action. I would recommend that Mr. Robert Queen and his MOB NOT go afoul with the likes of Ms. Sandra P. Stroud.

 

Robert A is PROUD that Ms. Sandra P. Stroud calls him her friend.
