Almost Instant Karma: Deputy Mike Fort Goes Adrift

[XLFD]

Deputy survives being stranded in snowdrift for 7 hours screamed the headline in the Facebook link to a story which didn't give much more than what the title said, leaving a teaser urging the reader to pick up a copy of the newspaper to find out who the deputy was and who the rescuer was, and a picture of a frozen ham package. 

I have to admit that at first glance of the headline, I was thinking that the most likely candidate for being the 'victim' in this story was someone fairly inexperienced and was sincerely hoping it was Deputy Mike Fort having a taste of karma for his unexplainably bad actions at a traffic stop involving Trooper Sammy Seymour and his sister, whom he not only physically assaulted, but also unlawfully imprisoned before formally arresting her for banging on his windows to be let out (read all about it here). 

Not content with telling the in-car audio system how he unlawfully seized and arrested her, he also hoped sincerely that the Spectrum Health Care medical professional whom he administered some obvious medical injuries to  had like her job, and said so twice before parading her through that very hospital as if she was somehow in the wrong for resisting an unlawful arrest.

So even though the link would not tell me who the deputy was or most other details I waited patiently, and was pleasantly surprised.  Deputy Mike Fort was your stranded deputy who waited seven hours and it could be argued that he wasn't very smart during the 2015 Valentine's Day blizzard.  But make up your own mind from how it's presented in the COLDNews.  Following a map of the general area where most of the action happened in the middle:

The good news is that Deputy Mike Fort hurt little more than his ego and pride this day, and nobody else got in any trouble who tried to rescue him in this seven hour odyssey.  One can hope that during the course of this personal ordeal that he went over what else he has done recently, and considered whether the job is right for him.  One could think that maybe God or some other force of justice in the universe foisted this humiliating experience on him as some kind of retribution or as a potential learning experience.  Will he perhaps look at it as some sort of instant karma that happened exactly four weeks after he severely messed up and perhaps ruined someone's life?

Just from hearing what I did on the in-car audio on the morning of January 17, when he engaged in a host of  unprofessional acts and words, I doubt whether he has the moral character to make those assessments.  He'll just forever be one of those goats dressed in brown whom us county taxpayers have to divert all our resources to protect him from his own actions.

One would think that going ahead of a plow does not make a lot of sense unless the plow truck was nowhere to be seen. However a short wait for the truck would have been the best choice.

Okay, now I have a proper perspective and view of the vehicle, and it's not where the bayou is either, as reported. It's on N. Lakeshore Dr., at skinny park, a narrow strip of land north of the first bayou, not the second bayou, or any bayou. And not on Stearns Rd. either, also a false report. A lot of contradictions and misinformation from the LDN staff as usual, out of their homeland areas of San Antonio and other big cities elsewhere, mostly out of state too. Either way, Fort was a Dufus, and also got stuck in the middle of the road. A very dangerous place to be if any traffic, whether car, snow plow, or snowmobile coming, would have to dodge his vehicle to get around him. I totally refuse to praise anyone that put's themselves in this situation, and then hasn't the courage nor confidence to get himself out of this jamb better than he did. Lastly, I'll bet he would have killed that battery before he ran out of gas, as much as he listens to the FM radio stations, also a poor habit for an on-duty officer.
