RI attended a nUu at w?t ItkMM High School conducted by Mr. John L. Godwin and Rev. Mac Legerton. It kit boon widely reported thimghuul the land that their group, the Concerned dtisono lor Bettor Gov ernment and the Church and Laity organixetton, ropro seated such noble causes as troth and justice for all the Aa a IM7 graduate of WeetBobeeon High School, I felt It ay dvie duty to lean about the democratic proceea and further lean about ay right to liberty, life and the purauit of happiaeeo from these noble leader* I waa very impressed to hear Mr. Godwin speak so eloquently of his search for truth and justice. The words flowed like manna from the lips of Mr. Godwin sod Rev Legerton of the corruption of the town and elected of ficials of Robeson County. They gave the problems of our county as if they were vested with the power of the people. They raised such probing questions as the chancter of the two young law enforcement officers, their family background, their training as officers of the court, their maturity and the attempt by authorities of the judicial system to prevent the truth from being known by the public. As the meeting progressed, it became evident that the truth was farthest from their minds. It was clear that the primary motives they espoused were money and publicity. The right to free speech was totally ignored by these purveyors of justice, as evidenced by their denial of free access to their microphone by reputable residents who wished to answer the very questions they had pooed in regards to the two officers, Mark and GraUnLocklear. They allowed a person to rant and rave for SO minutes on the corruption of elected officials, but when a well respected former teacher of mine, Mrs. Sarah Neal Lockkar, attempted to defend the character of the two officers, she was rudely asked to sit down and keep her mouth shut. The friends and family members of the two officers became acutely aware that Mr. Godwin and Rev. Legerton were not in search of truth and justice if it differed from their distorted view of right and wrong. It would do these two men well to tour Robeson Community College and learn about the competent training program our law officials receive and stop portraying themselves as champions of justice, because they revealed to the whole county their true nature and character when they denied our residents the right to speak.

I < i lb The Editor On November 24. MB7 at West Robeson SehooJ Cafeteria I witnessed ene of the wont organized demoaatrationa since the Klu Kiux. Klan rally in Maxton in 1068. Hie Citisens for Better Government. Namely Godwin and Legerton need to change their title to Citizens for Disorganized Government because that was what they demonstrated at the meeting. We, the supporter* of Deputy Mark Locklear, and Officer Grayiand Locklear thought this was an open meeting to voice concerns for those who wanted to speak. Little did we know there was a hidden agenda. When the last drumbeat ceased at 7:45 pm the attack started with accusations, hearsay and inuendos hit the floor Against the Police Officers. . Any sensible organizer would have waited until the upcoming hearing or inquest to call such a meeting. Nothing was gafrnel or accomplished only feelings were hurt Hie first speaker began with seeking unanswered questions and lots of hearsay. Mr. Godwin continued with this attack on Sheriff Stone & DA Britt, & and hearsay again on the police officers. The main event was yet to come when the Great liberator namely Mac Legerton who came with his set preaching love in one hand and hatred in the other. Yes you guessed it hatred won out He continued to work the crowd into a frenzy with his accusations against Deputy Mark Locklear, questioning his character among other things. After Legerton's attack several supporters of Deputy Locklear asked to speak in behalf of the Deputy. Remember an open meeting to voice concerns. But Legerton waved them aside and held steadfast to the microphone as if someone was about to take it away. After refusing the supporters of Locklear to speak the supporting group left the cafeteria to gather in the Lobby to talk to the News Media. We came to a conclusion that this meeting was to hear only one side of the stoiy. Deputy Mark Locklear was judged by a Kangaroo Court, namely Godwin and Legerton. I would like to respond to one of the speakers who stated across the heavily traveled Hwy. 711 because that was a misdemeanor. I ask you if he would have hit a car head-on and, killed all the occupants what would you call that? Hie' highways need as much protection as our homes, because that is where rr-:? -V-'h*; occur an., by those highly intoxicated. Hie speakers mentioned Deputy Locklear should not have pursued the viulater but if Sheriff Stone said he was in the right to pursue, the S.B.L said he was in good judgement to pursue, then tell me what credentials Godwin and Legerton have to say otherwise. Another issue, I have never seen so many people who were asleep that Sunday Moming but later they realized that they were awake and saw and heard I everything. In conclusion, I have compassion for the Zabitosky family ' and I also have compassion for the Mark Locklear family. I do not believe in violence. Was it unavoidable? Most of the time our police officers have to act quickly, on an impulse. They do not have time to sit down and figure things out like you and I in our daily routine of wryk. Responding quickly, to protect their lives and others was foremost in Mark Locklear's mind. So I ask you if someone pumped six bullets in your car occupied by yourself and two others what would you do...HOLLER TRICK OR TREAT? James E.

Concerned Citizens for Better Government has no intention of entertaining negative views id or abusive, libelous language at any time. Maintaining order is the top priority in conducting a meeting. Those who wished to express their views on No<. *mber 24,1987, were out of order and were informed they would be heard at the end of the CCBG agenda. They refused to comply with this decision by CCBG. Li the future, should anyone desire the opportunity to speak at a ly meeting of Concerned Citizens for Better Government, he ? r she must comply with the rules of order and rules ena ed by the CCBG Planning Committee. S. >uld you wish to speak, the Chairman, Mr. John Godwin or V e- Chairman Rev. Joy Johnson must be contacted no later thai )pm of the night before the CCBG meeting. You should also tave a prepared presentation of no more than 500 woids, also providing a copy to the Chairman and Vice Chairman prior to the meeting. Also, anyone who is perceived to be impaired by chemical substance or alcohol will definitely not be allowed to speak at any CCBG meeting. Concerned Citizens for Better Government is and has been a coalition in which to bring clear and honest government to Robeson County. Therefore, we do not intend allowing an. one, who has no respect or concern for the betterment of the people, the opportunity to cause the downfall af this much needed organization. jqHNL GODWIN Pembroke, NC Say you read it in...
