Email--Womack Looks for Something to Crush

Tienanmen Square-Lone Man Fights For Freedom

Womack Email Threatens With Tank Analogy

Several people have seen the opening minutes of last night's county commissioners' meeting and have asked why this picture was presented to them--The answer is more from Jim Womack's email.  

That Jim Womack would brag to Richard Littiken and Kirk Smith about threatening county officials with being crushed by a tank came as  no surprise.

The revelations from the email that Jim Womack never expected the public to see covers more than insulting one of our most respected citizens. (And yes, his arrogance is such he will show up for the Wednesday night reception).
In an October 20, 2011 email to this editor, Womack wrote:   "I am an old cavalry officer.  We troopers tend not to hide behind things, preferring instead to engage in direct assaults where shock action, surprise, and audacity are characteristic."

Womack wrote his band of  co-conspirators: 

I told 

  earlier this week�€he should recognize I am a Cavalry officer with a 20-year career on tanks. I learned to destroy things in three ways�€ (at long range) with my 120mm main gun; (at close range) with my 7.62 and .50 cal. machineguns, and (most violently) with the tank tracks from these 60-ton beasts.  (electronic errors in original, name in image to avoid identification by search engines)

During the public comment portion of the meeting, I reminded the commissioners of the 1989 efforts of the Chinese people to throw off the shackles of Communism and held up this photo sent all over the world.  I asked, "Who is the true patriot here. The lone man standing up for freedom and liberty or the man waiting to crush him with the "60 ton beast". 

Copies of the picture, suitable for framing, were handed out at one end of the commissioners' table and passed around.  When they got to Jim Womack, he did not take one and placed them aside not passing them the rest of the way.  After the meeting he walked away without his copy, and I distributed them down to the next two people.

Emails were exchanged among Womack, Littiken, and Kirk Smith discussing the best kind of tank to use.  Such a flippant response is no surprise to those who know them.
