Azar: The Politics Of Benjamin Vs. Randolph

I have known Randolf for a long long time. He is easy as hell to wind up. He is excitable and while I have no knowledge of the incident I was surprised at all.

Does he have an illness? Yes. Is that illness responsible? That is why we have court.

Should senior city employees be at crime scenes? Hell no. Commons sense tell one that.

And who is Azar?

Mr. Azar;

It’s a wonderful thing to have friends. That you support your friend in this matter is truly commendable. Yet I can’t help feeling at a loss for your lackadaisical support for leadership that is undeserving.

There is a saying I am quite sure you have heard. ‘The blind leading the blind’. Appreciating that this saying may not exactly fit your interest in Dr. Randolphs continued elevation to a position of leadership, I think it could be easily paraphrased to fit the circumstances.

It’s probably not the best decision to have the fellow with tourettes leading the sales team. :)

This editorial smacks of a “:…my black friend…” piece someone would write trying to prove they were not a racist while leaving enough doubt for his other friends to assure them that “he really doesn’t like the darkies”. While Azar has some good ideas for Columbia the rest of his political goofiness made him a “Ron Paulesque” “never had a chance” mayoral candidate at best.

He can take that blunt, in your face attitude back to the hood. There is no objective medical evidence to support “someones” claim he acted the way he did. He did not offer that defense, supporters did! The arresting officers WANT a jury trial. He punked out those at Tripps, the arresting officers, and he should resign in disgrace as President, SC chapter of NAACP.

Having been in the presence of older people who have had diabetic episodes, each person is affected different. I have seen some revert to a disoriented state of mind, some child like, and some very aggressive behavior. These episodes happen when the blood sugar levels drop. Normally the individual has not eaten within a reasonable time after taking his or her insulin. Some of the smallest older people will surprise you when going through an episode. Once they can get something to eat and the blood sugar level is back to normal, the individual is fine. I have observed that the aggressive behavior occur more so in males. Unless you are around older people who suffer with these episodes, one may not know.

Joe, you’re not exactly getting to the real point of frustration by people regarding this situation. The real issue is the fact that preferential treatment was given to a well known individual in Columbia. Bottom line: Wilson should have never gone to Tripps.

if he was so out of it he was struck by police officers, who are trained to deal with insulin shock and would have turned him over to the EMS who should have taken him to a hospital, why did he refuse medical treatment? How did he then get into his car and drive away, some say he drove out of town immediately following the incident. Did he A.) pull out a monitor and check his blood glucose level and B.) did he stabilize his glucose with food or a shot of insulin? If he did not, then there is no case, he was simply being an out-of-control asshole. Why are these details missing?
