Streaming of Screaming for Florence Tourism Board

We've just concluded a series of three blogs that made reference to the Florence-Lauderdale Tourism Board. So, while we're on the subject...

It seems that future meetings are scheduled to be streamed online to those who may want to watch the proceedings. We feel this is a prudent move by the board. Many who cannot attend may now watch from their home or office in order to get an inside look at just how hard these individuals work. Is that the only reason to start streaming these meetings?

Sadly, the answer to that question is "no." It seems that one member screams at other members. He screams a lot and no one has so far been able to stop him. Is streaming the answer? We don't know, but we do look forward to the first meeting to be streamed live.

A youth minister sexually abuses his charges. A tenured girl's basketball coach touches his students inappropriately. A trusted family friend has sex with an 11 year old. How often do these horrible events occur? Unfortunately, they occur much too often in the Shoals and everywhere.

Now that one victim of Oliver Brazelle has come forward in Lauderdale County, we hope at least some of his Colbert victims will bring charges as well. If any of his victims are reading this, please at least think about coming forward now. The more charges, the more likely a judge is to deny him bail as a flight risk. It's never too late...
