Someone should contact Steve Urbon too.

I feel awful... if true there's a victim.... I never even thought of that!

Is the word that he hit her or hit her car?

Again, please someone call Steve Urbon. If true this needs to be in tomorrows Standard Times.

HER!

BREAKING NEWS:

Word has it that there are as many as 6 or more witnesses and some took pictures, including a picture of the Crimewatchmobile being towed.

The begining of the end!!

Once again the arrogance of the selectmen bite them in the ass. They demand an anal probe of the entire police department when criminals complain about being arrested but when countless good citizens complain about Coleman they are brushed off and Coleman is further encouraged to continue his behavior.

BREAKING NEWS: BAGEL BITING RAGBOY CAUGHT WITH EGG ON HIS FACE!!!

Keep an eye on Ragman's site, it has been changing as we all continue to blog details about the incident.

As of 3:30, Ragman had down that this was really over some kind of altercation Crimewatchman had with a man over his kids, and Ragman discredited claims about a woman being hit, saying that there were no reports about it with the EMS or Tobey Hospital.

Well Ragboy, let me help you write your paper!

BREAKING NEWS: 

Word has it that the woman and as many as 6 or more witnesses have been at the police station all afternoon giving statements.  The woman was apparently not injured to the point that she had to be taken to the hospital and was taken to the station.

The woman alleges that she attempted to pull into a space, that Crimewatch man yelled at her and acted rude and abusively, the woman alleges that she attempted to call the real police because she did not like Crimewatchman's behavior, she alleges Crimewatchman, while in his car, revved his engine a few times in an intimidating manner and then hit her.

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT - THERE WILL BE A FULL SCALE EFFORT BY THE HYPOCRITE ELITE TO TRY AND SWEEP THIS UNDER THE RUG!

OK Ragman, go run along now and change your site again.

The selectmen allowed this to go on. So the woman will probably sue the town .  Nice the selectmen again cost the taxpayers money with their  arrogance and poor decisions.

   Chief Joyce started an auxiliary force that would have been very closely monitored.  The selectmen shot it down because they couldn't have control over it. Yet they let this Yahoo   ( My opinion only )  do whatever he wants.  And for what some parking revenue? Short  Georgie's  temper seems to be up there with Brucie boy. 

   I need to move.....

  Hope the woman is OK.

First I hope the women and children are OK.

According to the BOS and ITA when I asked those questions.

Their answers were: the town does not own or pay for any portion of the vehicles.

The town has no liability for injury to crime watch volunteers or anyone they injure.

Their answers are on tape now I guess we will find out the truth. The BOS Chairman probably figured this would end up in court anyway so why deal with the issue.

BRuce will blame the ITA and the Police Chief when it hits the fan.

When concerns were raised about Crimewatch at the last(televised) BOS meeting. As many pointed out, Brucie brushed them off. To paraphrase, he tried to justify parking ticket revenue as the main advantage. He also stated something to the effect of .."I don't know what the big problem is with Crimewatch, they're not going anywhere," then rudely rushed the gentleman away while uttering "Jesus". I live in a part of town that doesn't see Crimewatch much. But after reading about this in the last few weeks, I noticed one of their "cruisers" driving down my street with it's lights on, for no apparent reason. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't these guys, basically supposed to act as any concerned citizen would and report criminal activity they witness and inform the authorities? They are NOT an "authority" themselves, and to portray themselves as such, is criminal in itself.

I wrote elsewhere that if you are talking about the rooftop strobe lights they are probably breaking the law when they turn them on.

I don't see any legal reason they can use the lights which make them look very much like a police cruiser especially from the rear and front. It seems to me that while in those vehicles they are always impersonating police officers.

I'm sorry I didn't clarify,neighbor, it was the lights on top I was referring to. Also, at the meeting Brucie basically stated that there was no liability to the town and/or waivers had been signed. I took it as a brush off answer that basically said "it's not your problem to worry about or decide if it's going to happen". Par for the course. There's a pattern everyone..

I just wanted to be sure. Regular (i.e. REAL) police, ambulance, fire all have rules about when to use lights and siren (and when not to). In Massachusetts the colors of the lights are set by law. Yellow is pretty standard for all kinds of vehicles which may represent a traffic hazard but never need them to get anywhere quickly.

Red and blue are for real emergency vehicles, the police here use the red and blue sometimes with white because not only do they often need to get somewhere quickly but they also need to be able to pull someone over.

The green is sometimes used for private security vehicles, such as mall police, but when flashing it can easily be mistaken for blue.

I saw the strobe lights being used at Little Harbor, absolutely no reason.

With their real looking but fake cruisers I have little doubt some or all of the crime watchers are getting a cheap thrill pretending to be police. I hope they don't speed or go through stop signs or red lights.

Searay240,
That was you? Well hello, and nice job! Sounds like Brucie could just refuse to allow you to speak, and citizens voices are heard at his behest. He must have let you speak out of the kindness of his heart last time.

I saw the crime watch car on a flatbed heading down Onset Ave. towards Depot street this afternoon. Did not know why but did chuckle to myself. I got home and logged on and here it is. Thank you. I am not sure but It may have been a flatbed from Vaughn's Towing or Mark's towing. Would it not be cool to get a pic of that car on the impound lot. Glad to hear that no one was hurt. KARMA IS A BITCH!!!!!!! Have a nice night Mr. Colman :)

Mark today down in your calendar.  It's the day the Hypocrite Elite became finished.

The BOS should resign immediately.  They ignored all the warnings.  They ignored multiple complaints.  They knew of Crimewatchman's background and stood by him anyway.  Sweet Brucey was dismissive and rude to complaints by three citizens, including two former police officers.  Sweet Brucey said just last week that the town has no liability for what Crimewatch does.  Sorry, you were repeatedly warned that is not true and you're undoubtedly going to find that out because it would surprise me greatly if this woman does not sue.

When the BOS gave Crimewatch the ability to write tickets, they allowed Crimewatchman to drive a makeshift police cruiser, then they gave them police authority on behalf of the town and they are incompetent morons if they think any different.  They, as our town leaders, made the town vouch for Crimewatchman, and their jugment was way off.  They put the town on the hook for a major lawsuit, and the hook is now being reeled in.

The Ragman should also resign immediately.  Citzens have been wondering aloud for a long time now if the BOS was wise to give authority to a man who was caught in a prostitution solicitation.  The Ragman has repeatedly deflected that criticism and demonized the critics as being evil people trying to bring down a noble volunteer. 

Earlier this year, Ragman said the bloggers were evil for bringing up "a misdemeanor charge of a Crimewatch volunteer, as if what happens in 1986 has any bearing on today."  He of course, neglected to say the charge was prostitution.  Then, just recently, he said the bloggers had accused Crimewatchman of a felony and that was not true.  Well, again, another Ragman "technical denial."  The bloggers have alleged prostitution solicitation, and the Ragman played a word game.

Sorry Ragman, but had you listened to this criticism, you could have broken the story about the prostitution incident and gotten this man removed as Crimewatch head, and perhaps today's incident would never have happened. 

Imagine, if you are this woman's lawyer - the BOS gave authority to a man that they knew had been caught soliciting a prostitute and they expected him to excerise the authority they gave him with sound judgment?

BREAKING NEWS: Crimewatchman charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon (to wit, a Crimewatchmobile).

The computer audit comment was a nice touch to the story.

Wickedlocal has a small blurb so information about his dangerousness is getting out.

QUOTH RAGMAN: "Coleman and the Crime Watch program have been a frequent target of attack by anonymous hate bloggers."

Yeah, because silly us, we thought maybe it was a bad idea for the town to give police authority to a man that was caught soliciting a prostitute, that, oh I don't know, maybe such an individual would not excerise good judgment while wielding such power and, oh what do you know?  WE WERE RIGHT!!!

Ragman, you should be ashamed of yourself.  This man was unfit for the job and you stood by him all the way anyway and look what happened.

...unable to look up or crack a smile...

Interesting letter from Crime Watcher Christopher Gay in Wicked Local last month.

Here's another one from last year.

Gay was present at the incident today with Coleman and is quoted in the Slager article.

Hopefully one of the local news stations got wind of this for tonight's broadcasts..breaking news at 11: cop-wannabe  who got caught in prostitution sting now arrested for assault!!!..4,5,6,7,10, 12, Fox and NECN should be contacted...

NOW BRUCIE SAID LAST WEEK THAT THE CRIMEWATCH MEMBERS SIGN A WAIVER AND WILL HOLD UP IN A COURT OF LAW. I HOPE THIS IS TRUE BECAUSE IF SHE DECIDES TO SUE IM SURE ITS NOT THE CRIMEWATCH SHE GOES AFTER, ITS THE TOWN OF WAREHAM.

from the rag,
"I was in the area with my kids to take my kids for the free lunch they offer at the band shell," she said. "(Coleman) was parked and drove straight out. The woman put her hands and arms on the hood of the car to brace herself from falling."
   Jacobsen said Coleman then got out and began verbally berating the woman.
   "He was a very nasty man. I had never encountered him before. He accused her of being stupid," Jacobsen said. "He refused to call the police for her. He wouldn't give her his name. She said she didn't have a cell phone and he wouldn't give her his."
    A police source said Coleman did, in fact, make a call to the police, reporting that the alleged victim was acting "out of control." Coleman also requested police assistance. That call was taken by officer George Dionne and was recorded, as are all calls to police dispatch.
    Jacobson's friend Kimberly Lake, a Wareham resident who was with her son for the free lunch, said Coleman hit the woman as he was attempting to drive away. When asked if she knew Coleman previously, Lake said her husband used to be on the Board of Directors at Crime Watch and resigned after a disagreement with Coleman. Lake's husband now serves as a maintanance worker at the police station.
    According to members of Crime Watch, Donald Lake did not resign. He was voted off the board for failing to attend meetings."

---Sorry for the long quote, but it sounds like he's spinning it like there's a conspiracy of the bad men coming to get the good guys. I guess 'cause he knows Coleman and can get a quote from him(which says nothing).
He describes a witness(Jacobsen) and her friend, another witness(Lake) whose husband used to be on the board, but was bad so he got booted off. But he "serves" as a maintenance worker for the police now. So, Lake is discredited because of her husband and Jacobsen must be in on it because they're friends.What??? They are witnesses, this isn't a conspiracy, this wasn't staged. The guy "WORKS" at the police station, and formerly "served" on the board. And what does it have to do with it anyway. HELLO, maybe people were right and Coleman et al. are DOUCHE BAGS. OK, I'm better, a little.

and another thing..Don't hate on the "anonymous hate bloggers", truth can come out when someone's not as worried they're identity will be revealed. You should know this. I think anonymous sources have revealed some pretty big NEWS stories over time. And not revealing your sources is soo moral of the journalist. As far as "hate", I guess that depends on your perspective.

Now, that's reporting!

It is starting to look like Ragman is working on a "Crimewatchman was targeted by the cops and the lady just tripped and fell on the Crimewatchmobile" defense.

Ragman, you're hysterical.  You were a cartoon character long before Bobo the Clown.

So the ITA looks like he will be the fall guy. My question is has he halted current operations pending an investigation?

IF BOBO ATTENDS WILL WE HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT HOW HE KISSED HIS KIDS GOODBYE NOT KNOWING IF HE WOULD COME HOME THAT NIGHT. OH WAIT HE DOESNT GO HOME HE SLEEPS AT HIS OFFICE. FORGET IT
