Anyone know why there were roadchecks on Monday up in the Bartow area? Apparently they were US Marshals doing the checking.
Curious to know what they were looking for.

I hear that the Feds are here. I hope that they bust the sheriff's department first because that is at the center of corruption in Pocahontas County.

OMG Norman:

If the Sheriffs department is the center of corruption then you are the leader of local chapter of the "KKK".

Oh by the way, I hear "Wal-Mart" has a sale on thier white bed sheets and pillow cases.

I'm curious. Maybe the Admin can clarify and answer my question, but the last person to respond on this thread, according to the "replying to" column was "WVU Alumni." But the index board recorded it as "Marcia."
That leads me to the conclusion that "Marcia" is also posting under the name "WVU Alumni." Admin, am I wrong?

My experience has been that the person who started the thread is listed there. Not the person who made the most recent post?

No, I am not WV Alum.
My question was serious. If the marshals are looking for someone, it would be nice to know. There are so many out of towners around this week we are always a little cautious but maybe we should be more so...

No, Marci and Alumni are two different people. This board does some weird things sometimes. This is just one of those little quirks I suppose. Thanks for asking though and keeping an eye out.

wow you really do have issues alumni is all i can say guess you are the e tater master debater or something along those lines. i dont really like norm all that much to be honest but to imply hes a kkk type is pure nonsense and everyone knows it but you.

If the U.S. Marshalls were/are here, it's a little too late now. Also, I saw a Puddy Tat...I saw the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security camper and truck come through the hood (Bartow) not too long ago.

There are Freaks in the Forest all over here...wonder if any of the hunters got to shoot Hackney from America's Most Wanted (the Homestead shooter)...Did anyone check him in yet? I sure as heck hope so.

On CourtTV, they reported of the Rainbow Murders.

They made the movie "The Wrong Turn." Better hope you always keep a locked gas cap on your car. Carry a gun, while you're at it.

The Snakes Crawl at Night...that's what they say...when the sun goes down, The Snakes Will Play or WORSE...My bu** is staying out of the Forest!

The KKK? I care more about the creepy HitchHikers and Bicyclists walking/riding through the hood.

they were probally looking for one of those major drug dealers some people on here claim exist in poc ss area.

or big foot

Be on the look-out for those 'out of towners'.
Be careful, if you don't know'em, they must be 'strangers in town'. Best thing to do is run home, close the blinds & lock the doors. What ever you do, don't say "Hi, how are you". Ya might scare 'em away!

lets be real if the us marshalls were looking for some one in the local area what do you want them to do post it on e tater the daily newspaper put up flyers and have someone ride around the county with aa megaphone on top the car telling you who they are looking for? or post it a month ahead of time on the nightly news.maybe that would be a dead give a way to the person they were looking for and they just might be smart enough to hide so they couldnt be found.usually when federal agents are looking for you they dont go around announcing it to all the local residents .unless they want to give you a head start so it will be a more challanging hunt and give you better odds of getting away after all its more fair that way and fun.heck the hunt could go on for years with luck.

ok, we, hubby and i have only lived here 2 + years. we were aware of some of the racist affiliations associated with the are. but more importantly, we knew of a wondefuly diverse atmosphere here. our problem is we are clueless to the REAL news. any advice?

before we made the final move, we spoke with state and county police and their advice to protect our home, locked and loaded. we listened.

i lived in the area for years never had a issue with people trying to break in my home of course most people knew id shoot you for it.when the local law enforcement did respond to issues at my home often they came rather fast and in large numbers as many as 8 often with rifles for some reason ,it made me feel safe.and when only one or 2 would come they were quick to call a ambulance for the person who called them in the first place displaying great concern for thier lacerations and bruises.ive never had a experience with federal marshalls so i cant comment on how they operate .however i did find that the atf were a tad rude.

Buy a daily newspaper & the Pocahontas Times for the county news.
