In a news release issued this morning, the Mobile Chapter of the NAACP is calling on District Attorney John Tyson to resign. Local NAACP President Jimmie Gardner says Tyson has not been open to the public with details surrounding the abrupt resignation of former Assistant District Attorney Steve Giardini. He was the lead prosecutor on former Judge Herman Thomas's case involving charges of paddling and soliciting sex from young jail inmates. Giardini also was the top prosecutor on cases involving child sex cases. "The efforts to exposed allege criminal activities of ordinary citizens is no more important than exposing allege allegations of criminal activities within his own office. The citizens of Mobile deserved better than half- truths. District Attorney John Tyson Jr., as top law enforcement officer of this county, who is unproven in insuring public truth among all citizens, should consider stepping down", said Gardner.

As News 5's Jessica Taloney reported yesterday, the FBI executed a search warrant at Giardini's home. He resigned without explanation and Tyson's office will only say Giardini is no longer employed with the District Attorney's office. Giardini has not been arrested or charged with anything. Local defense attorney Dennis Knizely confirms he has been retained by Giardini.

LOL and what is the deal with the big red bow tie…lmao..this is hillarious..

BamaBob, u no as well as i do and every other person in the world that this woman is just trying to get her *** in the newspapers and get a name 4 herself..i mean i agree, how do u patrol the borders if u cant gather important information from sources about possible illegal immigration issues..Duh..What a MORON!! i really dont understand why God allows morons to be born but i guess we have to have something to laugh at and entertain us..lol..

Yesterday evening I was watching Lou Dobbs on CNN, talking to Al Sharpton and the woman in charge of ACORN.  Those two want that Arizona sheriff’s hide because they claim he is racially profiling people in his county.

Well, just who is he suppose to check out as illegal immigrants?  The white dude in a 3-piece suit, or the brown dude that can’t speak English?  How do you not profile people when you are trying to stop people from Mexico illegally coming into this country?

I’m serious.  Doesn’t this whole gripe about profiling Hispanics living in a border town sound ridiculous?

Once again the NAACP has shown that blacks must live by one set of rules and whites by another. The NAACP is irrevelant and not to be takened seriously.  Jimmie Gardner is an uneducated biggot. His sister lost her job when Herman resigned. He has a vested interest in Herman’s problems. The blacks are being led to the water and told to drink the Kool-Aid. It’s insulting to them that they allow someone else to do their thinking for them.

hold on there Ala.Patriot. Without the naacp to remind us of ignorance of ppl to support and premote one race,where would we be? Let them open there mouth and remove all doubt.

The very BEST thing that could happen is for the NAACP to be abolished!!!  This group DOES NOT promote unity, only RACISM. We hae stressed over and over again that everyone is to be treated equally and for the most part everyone is. This group/organization does not want people to be treated equally, but wants to justify their existance by continually pushing one race over another.  This type of organization is what keeps this nation divided.

oh, and maybe you can get into some English classes at Bishop State since maybe you have relatives there if not arrested already or fired for corruption that is.

I can assure you Mr Gardner, that the NAACP holds no weight here in Mobile or anywhere It is supposed to stand for Advancement of colored people…but all it stand for is bigotry and racism-however you want to call it. I assure you that Mr Tyson had no knowledge his employee, in his own home, was improperly conversing with a minor over the internet-if the accusation is founded.  And if it is,  can also assure you that Mr Tyson nor anyone else with any character will hold rallies for Mr Giardini nor say every case against white criminals should be overturned.  I assure you he won’t call out a white supremacy group to defend Mr Giardinis actions and call for the resignation of the Federal prosecutor…and name anyone he may be mad at if any of his kin ewre investigated or indicted at Bishop State,if some white kid beat an innocent teacher in the head and filmed it and his kin got in fights at Murphy-which they also started or ask for accused rapists to be let go because they are white.

Remember he tried to sue the county for discrimination a few years ago and lost-horribly!  Riding the coat tail of Judge Thomas?  Stop and think, when the DA’s office went after the sheriff, people rallied, picketed, and were mad…thought he was just picking on people but when the truth showed its face, people were in complete awe at the evidence.  Same deal with bscc…evidence showed up and these people resigned and walked away.  It is the job of the DA’s office to inspect and investigate any and all corruption, no matter who you are.  I think people are going to be in awe when they see this evidence too!  All the rallying in the world won’t be able to help it. What better victim than a prisoner?  Only a cleaver beaver would think of that!

I will agree that there are many corrupt individuals in our Justice system but they are not all limited to being black or white, actually they are both!!! Money makes people become GREEDY!!! everyone loves money, no matter what color they are and that is what is wrong with this country and people today…Get over it..were all here and there must be a purpose for different races..so stop whining and get over it..Deal with ur issues…our society needs to be focusing on protecting our children…And if wed quite taking GOD out of everything maybe things might not be so bad!!! Not saying there are bad people out there who dont believe and just the good are in church becuz its not always so..but it is the person inside and im sorry but anyone who is having sex with inmates becuz its gets him off is disqusting and needs to be weeded out..along with someone who is trying to have sex with teens and then prosecuting someone for the same crime the next day…My My the tangled webbs we weave!!!
