ReplyDeleteStudents pay attention to how Whidden answers his questions and how in depth and detail he goes.
Harrelle will be there for moral support and to run resistance.
When you get the feeling you know more than them when questioning them, do yourself a favor and run with it because you probably do.
What is the problem Anonymous, is whidden a threat to your dope operation?
ReplyDeleteAm I missing something here?? What's wrong with our Sheriff speaking to our students? I applaud his efforts to reach these young people and do whatever he can to encourage their academic pursuits.Demeaning Sheriff Whidden is inappropriate and capricious.I did not vote for him, but he is doing a fine job for ALL of us deserves our respect and thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhat you are missing is that Hendry county has a residual Drug trafficking and manufacturing legacy. Many prominant individuals have made a few coins in the past and resent anyone that might bring them or their payola down. Whidden has worked with the Feds and other individuals and is a likely threat to the Hendry drug dealers and other fine community organizers. I am sure that he has "leaches" attached to him to mitigate this threat and suck information out.
ReplyDeleteObviously I am a recent arrival....Just moved here 5 yrs ago.Wasn't aware of the problem. Now, more than before, I support our Sheriff and his efforts.
ReplyDeleteThanks .
I recently met Sheriff Whidden, he is a hard working and straight foward guy. I lived in Broward County and Miami Dade and you don't see that type of thing from the top cop, you rarely hear from them. I support the sheriff, he is doing a great job.
