fires at the depot

I am the waitress that put out the two fires at the depot prior to it burning down. I am writing this in reguards to blogs that have been posted about me. I did not appreciate the comment from "anonymouser" posted on may 29, saying...quote, "did she do her civic duty and call 911?  Or was she the one who started them?" end quote...First of all, ANONYMOUSER...let me tell you step by step what happened so there is no confusing you...

   It was on a tuesday a couple of weeks ago and I was at work, At Kelcy's restaurant as "recallbeckham", who claims to know me, so boldly decided to tell everyone. Although I am not a manager, I was the senior employee that day. one of my co-workers said "laura...is there supposed to be a fire unattended over there?, while pointing at the depot. I looked up and said NO...then I called to another employee, "call 911...I'm going to try and put it out. I got a couple of pitchers of water and headed across the street, accompanied by one of my guests. I put out the fire, and a police officer showed up. I did not get his name, but can recognize him if neccessary. He got on his radio and said that the fire appears to be extinguished. About 10 or so minutes later, (if i had to estimate the time) the fire department drove by, or "did a drive-by", as ANONYMOUSER called it. There are several witnesses to the things I am telling you...EVERY THING IS FACTUAL AND CAN BE PROVEN....that was the first, smaller fire...now lets talk about the second and slightly bigger fire...

  Once again, if i had to estimate the time, I would say maybe an hour and a half later the second fire broke out. Once again, I told that same employee to call 911 again, and once again I headed across the sttreet, armed with pitchers of water to try to put out the second fire. This time I was accompanied by another co-workers husband. The first fire was just a bunch of towels that were used for the job. It seemed to be like a chemical reaction from the towels not being washed out. HOWEVER...I AM NO EXPERT ON THIS MATTER, AND IT IS SIMPLY MY OPINION. This fire also had some towels burning, as well as other items that were near by...like a bucket of paint and a solvent of some kind....Everything I have just told you can be verified by either police records or by eyewitnesses that were there.

  so...just because someone does the right thing, and happens to be at the right place, at the right time....doesn't give anyone the right to be-little them. Let me ask you this>>>WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE???...LET IT BURN????

Laura, don't let it get to you too much, you know you did the right thing.  I think people with half a brain know that the other person's comments were typically out of line and overly dramatic, which leads to very little credibility.  Thanks for clearing up the story.

Kudos to you, Laura, for actually doing something!  As Greg says, you know you did the right thing (and I do too for that matter.)  There are a lot of people that post on these blogs that are quick to judge, and slow to think, and enjoy causing drama at every opportunity.  Don't take it personally.

Kudos to Laura and all the waitresses out there who are hard working people.  They have difficult job dealing with the public and they deserve our respect.  Thank you Laura for a job well done.

Yes Laura good job. It is to bad that  "theoneandonlyannonymous" had to drag you into the Beckham nightmare. TR and SB are the ones that put you out there on front street. How many places have waitresses near the depot???  How many places does Stan and the gang have breakfast???? It is sad that you were bashed on here. I am sorry for my part!  Your story was just added to the same ol'  "everyone at city hall sucks" story that Stan likes to tell. They just added your information to help spread their lies. I am just asking myself this. If you told Stan and his crew about these fires why didn't he ask for some type of increased protection? Why didn't he ask for more to be done???

Once again I would like to point out that theoneandonlyanonymous profile comes from the same IP address as Stan's personal e-mail!

dreamkiller you didn't say anything on the original post, at least under the name dreamkiller.  "It is sad that you were bashed on here. I am sorry for my part!"   curlyshirley, anonymouser, recallbeckham and countygirl made the negative posts.  Which one are you?  This is the original post.  http://www.tehachapinews.co...

I know you are NOT countygirl.  But you could be the other three.  You have been lying about me for the past few days saying that I am Stan Beckham.  Yes I support the man and that is my right.  Are you going to say that anyone who supports Stan Beckham is in fact Stan Beckham and why do you call supporters his "gang" or "group"?   Are all the supporters of Shane Reed out here in fact Shane Reed?  Are his supporters a "gang" or "group"?

In the other post recallbeckham stated:

"theoneandonlyannonymous is Stan Beckham!!!!  I know this because he has sent me emails from this profile as well as many others that have the same IP address. This address goes to a Road Runner account that Stan's website and "real" e-mails come from. Here is a list of other profiles coming from Stan's IP address;"

This is a downright lie because I have never sent any e-mails to anyone out here on these blogs.  So if this is a lie how much of this other garbage can you believe?  dreamkiller, it's pretty obvious who you are and you are out to bash Stan.  My question is why isn't Shane Reed saying these things?  He is the one who supposedly has all the info.  Why doesn't he post it?  Shane is the one running for office, is he not? 

What evidence do you have that Stan didn't ask for more protection for the depot?  Why didn't the City Manager hire a security company?  That is his job isn't it, to take care of city matters?

I made a post attacking you on that blog and it was deleted the same time as my blog yesterday. I got an e-mail from the TN saying not to post personal information. I am none of the people listed above that's for sure. I did give you a clue about who I am in my blog "More Local News". I stated many times that your IP address and Stan's IP address are the same. If your not Stan you must live with him! So how are you doing, teresr?  Hows life? I have no idea why Shane is not making post on here. Maybe he is tired of your slander. Maybe he is at work. Maybe he is over this blog mess. 

Because you asked here is a list of profiles coming from your home,

teresr

packerfan

theoneandonlyanonymous

SheirffJRS    and the personal e-mails of Stan Beckham. I am just trying to figure out how you got Bob and Robert Prices e-mails to come from another IP address.

Teresr I was told you got belligerent with the cops when they asked you about the e-mails. Is that true? Did you say someone hacked your guys PC? Just last week you called me a writer and a lady. Keep guessing you will get it right soon. Maybe we will see each other in court one day soon.

Umm, may I ask what exactly about my post was negative?  I don't recall anything being negative. All I remember is that I said that I found it highly unlikely that the fire dept didn't stop if a 911 call was indeed placed!

Laura, you did do the right thing. Good for you.

posted by dreamkiller on Jun 18, 2008 at 05:32 PM

I have an idea "theoneandonlyannonymous" ! If you and Stan both use the same PC and if Stan didn't send the e-mails, then why are you letting him hang for what you did? Why not come out and say you did it??? Don't you care about him?? Oh I got my gang reference from stanbeckham.com. Here is a part of what you can find on Stan's web site.

    Seems like Stan is being much maligned on Jim’s TN Blog by the “Gang of Four”, who in my opinion are Reed, Hand, Grimes, and Garrett.

    Pretty amazing that they think this shows good character on their part. Shane needs to re-think his strategy.

    Perhaps we shall see each other in court dreamkiller.  You are libeling me and harassing me and this is getting to the point that a restraining order just might be in order.  You are vulgar and crude, very much like the e-mail that Stan received.  IF you have this supposed list of IP addresses for profiles then why don't you publish them?  And, who gave them to you?  I know for a fact that I have never e-mailed you through any media except my personal e-mail and that was long ago and there were very few.  So keep ranting and raving.  People see you for who and what you are.

    And, besides, you hijacked Laura's blog for your vicious purposes.  Great job Laura, you and the people that helped you are the true heroes.  God bless all of you.

    And, if I might hijack your blog just a bit, congratulations countygirl!  All the best.

    To clarify - This is not me... I've never posted on Stan's site. Someone else has chosen a nice name though.. :)

    PS - I love you Laura :) I need to come by and say HI... Maybe Sunday :)

    Sunshine,  Someone on that site is posting as Christiana V and keeps bringing up fire dept. stuff.  This is very similar to my real name and I want everyone to know this is NOT me. I'm quite irritated at this. I REALLY hope someone isn't trying to pretend to be me, if this is someones real name so be it, but I found it a little to convenient.

    Man you got that right, Trouble...enough already with all the "That's who you are, but who am I" crosstalk!  Please take whatever you think you have to court or maybe to "To Tell the Truth" and leave us alone, already.

    Countrygirl - Well, I was hoping it was coincedence, someone using the same name as mine... but if you've had the same experience, looks to me like someone is trying to stir up trouble. Nice. 

    posted by teresr on Jun 19, 2008 at 05:29 AM

    countygirl and sunshine, I have sent you e-mails explaining the situations of the posters on www.StanBeckham.com and what is planned to try and control that blog site in the near future.  While countygirl's name is similar it is not the same.  And, Sunshine is a common nickname for many ladies.  I explained the remedies that are being made on Stan's site and I hope that will help stop any future "coincidences", however, people are free to use whatever name they like just as they are on this site.  The people that post on Stan's site for the most part do not blog on the TN and the two I spoke with do not read these blogs.  I hope this clarifies the situation for both of you.
