They are everywhere, of course, not just in Coos County but this county has more than its fair share of ‘bad dudes’. Speaking with a friend today she described a vicious attack in an editorial by an author who doesn’t know her and is, as usual, factually challenged. And, as is usual in Coos County, the author made no effort to speak with or even meet his victim before flinging his vitriol.

It is no surprise the offender referenced above is closely aligned with another irresponsible vitriol flinger, who like his brethren has no qualms about misleading his readers and listeners and feels no responsibility to vet his commentary. Annoying as it is, it is better to ignore these characters, the Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh caricatures they aspire to be, because they have no influence over people in a position of real authority. There are people in Coos County who’s opinion I care about, but they number on one hand and even they are not in a position to affect my life, my earnings, my family.

So I ignore them, refuse to engage and rely on karma to deal with their behavior. Karma works and I can’t resist sharing that the offender above was a blind supporter of the Coquille PD and heaped massive ridicule upon anyone who criticized them. Three of the worst offenders in the CPD and who deliberately went out of their way to hurt me and my family are gone, victims of karma and their own foul behavior. I speak of Randy Ulmer, Mike Reaves and the scourge of law enforcement, James Bryant. They are gone in disgrace, humiliated, proven to be incompetent and will never work in law enforcement again, and I didn’t have to do anything… karma is a bitch!

Finally, the editorial writer above staunchly supported all three of these ex officers, so as far his opinion is concerned I think it should be obvious, it isn’t worth the cyberspace it is written in.
