Zimmerman's "Community Leaders" Threaten Pike Middle Class With Arrest

Hello, Yupette,

I am a resident of the Barcroft Apartments, and for years I've been trying to become a part of the so-called "Arlington Way." But I only earn $32,000 a year. And Chis Zimmerman's "Community Leaders" won't let me on any committee, commission, anything related to the Pike.

Recently I've been threatened with arrest if I continue speaking out against the total gentrification of the Pike that Mr. Zimmerman proposes. I am not a Latino or Latina. They have been repeatedly threatened anyone who speaks out about the "Zimmerfication" of the Pike with being arrested for speaking out against the blatant discrimination by Mr. Zimmerman's North Arlington Democratic Party "facilitators" that he's appointed to committee after committee to gentrify the Middle Class out of South Arlington.

Any suggestions as to how I deal with these repeated threats of arrest by Zimmerman's ward heelers?

J,M., Barcroft Apts.

Chris Zimmerman should be in the same dorm with Chief Douglas Scott and Commonwealth's Attorney Richard Trodden waiting for the 4 AM wake up for milking cows at the Allenwood Federal Correctional Facility.

Zimmerman should not be incarcerated at Allenwood, he should share a cell at Lewisburg with one of Arlington's Chief Creepublican Chris Berg's fellow neo-con scum.

Yeah, isn't it funny that so-called Republican Timwayne Wisekubicki rubber stamped another County Board budget? I wonder if the Repigs will be attending O'Leary's St. Patrick's Day Party, sponsored by the out-of-state REITS?

Time they were ALL locked up in the same dorm at the same correctional facility milking the same cows at 4 AM. Separate bathrooms for Favola, Hynes, Arthur, and Donnellan, of course.

Douglas Scott and Richard Trodden should be locked in the same cell for about 10 years for what they've done to Arlington's homeless.

One murder in Arlington last year and two homeless men died from excessive use of force by the police. Yes, we are a police state.

The people who run Arlington County despise the poor and the middle class. They want us out of Arlington in the worse way.

Did you know that Barbara Favola and Mary Hynes spent $2 million moving DHS headquarters from Clarendon to Washington Blvd. across from Ft. Myer so poor people would not be seen in their neighborhoods?

They will never fund a homelessness prevention program. Whether it's the police, sheriff, County Board, County Staff, Economic Development, the REITs, the ward heelers, the poverty pimps, the pro-gentrification blogs, and the news media, they are all profiting from keeping the homeless homeless.

You left out the Pro-Lifers who worship human cells and despise human beings who live in poverty.

They are so insane with it comes to development for the sake of development that they are threatening EFC residents who won't go along with Zimmerman's redevelopment program with arrest.

Anonymous said...

Why should Chief Douglas Scott and his boss County Manager Barbara Donnellan care? They live in Clifton and like the rest of the County Staff who don't live here we're just a big paycheck that they receive for going along with the program.

Truth about the Arlington Police Department? The good cops leave after a couple years. The cowboys who enjoy beating up the homeless and minorities stay until they retire.

Why don't you post something about the 21st century concentration camps to house the poor and undesireables that are being constructed in the outer outer suburbs? Typically trailer parks and RV parks.

Promises are made to the REITs and anyone who gets in the way of subsequent development has to be "facilitated".

Why bother with Obama's Justice Department? Call the VA Attorney General's Office instead. Toll free 1-800-451-1525.

How many of these so-called 'community leaders' are secretly on the REITs' payrolls?

Suggestion:

Send an e-mail to Community Leader-in-Chief Mike Kerley at the White Citizens Council's e-mail address - mike at civfed dot org - telling the Civic Federation's zimmercrats and zimmpublicans to cease threatening residents who want to continue to live in affordable market rate housing.

Know what's going on here? Zimmerman is Bernie Madoff. County Government is a H U G E Ponzi scheme. Zimmie and the insiders are profiting. Residents and taxpayers are the suckers who are getting ripped off in various ways to keep it going. Notice all those wonderful restaurants can't pay their taxes and Zimmy is inviting more expensive restaurants and retail into Arlington so he can borrow and tax and build more buildings with more expensive restaurants and retail?

It's easy said...

Contribute $200 to the Zimmerman Victory Fund to get a Commission or Committee seat. $500 or a smaller contribution, plus Democrat Precinct Captain earns a co-chair, or deputy position. A thousand or more to Zimmie gets you favors directly -- don't even have to play along on an advisory panel. Matching contributions all around to the ACDC required of course.

More truth about the Arlington Police Department: last year five homeless died as the result of excessive use of force by Arlington Police officers and at least one hundred injuries resulted from the police beating up the homeless and minorities. This is covered up by both the Police Department and Fire-EMS.

Richard Trodden is the worst Commonwealth's Attorney in the history of the Commonwealth.

Chief Scott told the patrol cowboys to cool the rough stuff while the Sister Cities conference is in town. Can't have his cops using the Mayor of Agua Caliente as a soccer ball.
