    No, I am sorry; it was the 700 Block of Cleveland Street that Ellis Stine and his wife lived in, and where Ellis Stine had his mechanic shop, right behind the First Assembly of God Church. As a matter of fact, his house is still there, the church’s having purchased it from his estate. The Stines told me that when they first purchased that property, they could sit on their front porch and watch the trains passing on the track which ran parallel to what is now Twelfth Street in Lake Charles. Some change over the years! And Morris Guttman was a great man and a great supporter of the also great Jim Brown, two-term elected Louisiana State Senator, two-term state-wide elected Louisiana Secretary of State and two-term state-wide elected Louisiana Commissioner of Insurance; and one of the all-time great Louisiana leaders and statesmen.

  2. Pathetic

    Hardy Parkerson:

    Do you get tired having conversations with yourself, or are you immunized from carpal tunnel syndrome?

  3. Hardy Parkerson

    I don’t know how you figure it is a converstation with myself when I post something on the “Graffiti Wall”. But, hey! I’ve been accused of a lot worse things.

    Sincerely

    Hardy Parkerson

  4. Pathetic

    It is patently obvious to anybody with sense that you converse with yourself on here. For starters, you can easily change the name you use to post under on here. On top of that, you write in predictable patterns. All you need to do is read your posts on here from day one and see that you post something that you think is witty and respond to it as to look like others are interested in what you have to say. Pretty pathetic.

  5. Hardy Parkerson

    You should not call yourself “Pathetic”. After all, that is not good for your self concept, which you obviously need to improve. Let me set you up an appointment with my friend Dr. James Anderson (M.D.), a psychiatrist in Lake Charles. I will pay the bill for you, but you do need psychiatric help, Pathetic.

    Sincerely,

    Hardy Parkerson, Atty.

  6. Pathetic

    Naah. At the end of the day you know that you are the one that needs the psychiatric help. Or maybe you just need a friend.

    You are truly pathetic Hardy Parkerson.

  7. Hardy Parkerson

    Why do you call yourself Pathetic? Howevere, you, of all people, should know about your own mental faculties.

    Sincerely,

    Hardy Parkerson

    Yes, I remeber Nelson Manuel, the great philanthropost and civic leader from Lake Charles. He was also instumental in gettng Richad Ieyoub elected elected District Attorney. Wonder where he has been spending his time lately, for I have not heard of him in several years.

  9. Hardy Parkerson

    I might be pathetic, you coward, but I am not afraid to append my real name to what I post.

    This is hands down the most impressive website I’ve seen, particularly involving politics and public issues. I look forward to coming to it regularly.

    Show you? Well, just look at the past two weeks of posts on here. It’s been you posting poetry and reminiscions about some dead people in Lake Charles, you acting like you are someone else and replying to it and giving the appearance that two people are talking back and fourth, and me who has reminded you how pathetic you are for doing what you do.

  12. Pathetic

    Impressive website maybe, but unimpressive graffiti board because you and your made up friends have hijacked it and made it the “Hardy Parkerson Poetry and Old Tyme Memories” graffiti board.

  13. Hardy Parkerson

    And you are as full of ship as a Christmas turkey! The only thing I posted had my name in front of it. You are sick! Get help! I recommend Dr. James Anderson (M.D.), a forensic psychiatrist) of Lake Charles. Call him and get an appointment soon! The sooner the better!

    Ode to a Simple Louisiana National Guardsman

    He was gettin’ old and paunchy,
    And his hair was fallin’ fast;
    And he sat aroun’ the Legion
    Tellin’ stories the past.

    Of a war that he had fought in
    And the deeds that he had done;
    In his exploits with his buddies,
    They were heroes every one.

    And ‘though sometimes to his neighbors
    His tales became a joke;
    All his buddies listened closely,
    For the knew whereof he spoke.

    But we’ll hear his tales no longer,
    For ole’ Carl has passed away;
    And the world’s a little poorer,
    For a Louisiana National Guardsman died today.

    He won’t be mourned by many,
    Just his children and his wife;
    For he lived a very ordinary
    Quite and simple kind of life.

    He held a job and reared a family,
    Quitely goin’ on his way;
    And the world won’t note his passin’,
    ‘Though a Louisiana National Guardsman died today.

    Just and ordinary soldier,
    One who offered up his all;
    Was paid off with just some medals
    And perhaps a pension small.

    It’s so easy to forget him,
    For t’was so long ago
    He ‘listed in the Louisiana Army National Guard
    And off to battle he did go.

    Yes, he was just a common Louisiana National Guardsman
    From the ranks a-growin’ thin;
    But his passin’ should remind us
    We may need his type again.

    Since we did not do him honor,
    While he was here at home to praise,
    Then at least let’s give him homage
    At the endin’ of his days.

    Perhaps just a little headline
    In the paper that might say:
    OUR COUNTRY IS A-MOURNIN’
    FOR A LOUISIANA NATIONAL GUARDSMAN DIED TODAY!

    You are sick, pal! I did not have anything to do with listing Mike Murdock’s name on this Graffiti Wall. Since you claim only you and I post here, then it was obviously you. Grow up, child! Get a life!

    The New Police State Terrorism

    Take Calcasieu Parish for example. We start off with about a thousand full
    time deputies. Then there is the Lake Charles City Police of about three or
    four hundred. Then there is the Lake Charles City Marshal police force of
    about a hundred. Then there is the Louisiana State Police of thousands. Then
    there is the United States Marshal police force. Then there is the Port of
    Lake Charles police force, and the Sowela Tech police force, and the McNeese
    State University Police force.

    Also, now we have the Sabine River Authority police force. Am I missing any?
    Oh, yes! There’s even the Railroad Police, even in Lake Charles, with cop
    uniforms, badges and guns. Then there is the Federal Bureau of Investigation
    police, not to mention the I.N.S. Border Patrol police force and the U.S.
    Customs Service police force which perform run-of-the-mill police operations
    traditionally handled only by local state police forces.

    Our Fathers never intended for the Federal Government to conduct an
    intrastate-only Criminal Justice System; but that is what is happening right
    now, with the United States Attorney’s offices handling what has traditionally
    been handled only by local state prosecutors and by local state courts

    What’s more is that a contingent from each of most of the above-named police
    forces has gotten together and formed even another giant police force that
    they call a “Task Force” and they are literally terrorizing the State of
    Louisiana. In making what is a simple arrest of a non-violent defendant, on a
    simple drug charge, they arrive en masse and all pull out guns and aim them at
    even women and children who are not even criminal suspects.

    Further, they depend on the United States Attorneys’ offices to prosecute the
    alleged cases that they “make”. Since the state District Judges refuse to
    allow some of these police forces and/or their leader and/or leaders to
    “terrorize” certain portions of Calclasieu Parish, such as North Lake Charles,
    and refuse to allow the police to dictate whether bond for accused defendants
    will even be allowed, and, if so, how much these bonds should be set at, these
    police forces and/or their leader and/or leaders have elected to take their
    cases not to the local District Attorneys for prosecution, but to take them to
    the United States attorneys whose offices are getting bigger and bigger and
    bigger.

    The traditional Louisiana Criminal Justice System is changing and changing
    fast. There is more to it all than this, but this is something to think about.

    It appears to me and others who read these posting of yours, that you are obsessed with being recognized for something. Obviously in you mediocre existence as a mediocre lawyer you’ve fell to achieve any satisfaction or notoriety for yourself. So in these late years of your life it appears that your out to prove something to the world. On the PolicticLA you attached a a picture of a poster signed by EWE some years ago for birthday. Whoopie Doo. I’m sure all the members of that board were really impressed. Most of those people have met and work for Edwin for years. These people are stable people who work in Baton Rouge in state goverment or perhaps involved in Louisiana Politics itself. And they don’t brag about who they know, and they don’t have to tell others where they’ve been in their careers as you seen to do. It seems the only one posting that had a great need to boost, is you. It like they say, “If You Have To Tell Us Who You Are, It means you are only important to yourself. If we want to know, we’ll ask.

    Leave my honey alone, you beast! I’m talking about that guy who posts as “Pathetic” and as “Wilse Kleckley” and all kinds of fake names. The big liar! I hear he’s a *****! I hate ******!

    David, Why did you turn white today when you saw me at the restaurant? Are you the Internet Terrorist? Don’t worry about me, I am not going to hurt you. I’m no criminal, you are. But I won’t tell anybody. I would just like to look you in the face and have you tell me why you have set out to trash me. Frankly, I always liked you. But, boy! Today, you almost had a heart attack when you saw me walk into the restaurant. Oh, well! As we Coonasses say, “C’EST LA VIE!” Sincerely, Hardy Parkerson, Atty. Ronald Reagan Democrat for Governor of LA – 2007

  25. Pathetic

    Just when I thought you couldn’t get any lower, you take patheticness to lower depths. You are unbelievably pathetic Hardy. Have you ever thought of getting your own website instead of hijacking other people’s websites?

  26. Pathetic

    Please explain what you mean when you say “Go do another big one. This time a big black one….” If this is some pathetic attempt of yours at being a racist, I think you owe everyone an explanation, especially since you are supposedly running for governor as a Democrat. What depths of patheticness won’t you stoop to Hardy?

  27. Hardy Parkerson

    And just who do you think you are, pal, to think you have the right to anonymously ask me a question? I do not answer questions for anonymous cowards. Go do another big black one.

    Hardy P.

  28. Pathetic

    Wow Hardy! You really take the cake each time you post here. Just when I think that you have reached a monumentous low, each time you follow it up with something lower. Keep the faith Hardy – you will surely hit rock bottom soon enough and you can then start being less pathetic as each day passes, as opposed to your current course of being more pathetic as each day goes by.

  29. Hardy Parkerson

    PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic,for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with libery and justice for all.

    thanks Mitch, hope you had a good week end as week as well.

    We drove over to Houston this week end and attended the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. This was truely fun. The weather held up great…… We left Houston at mid morning and drove to Galveston for lunch, crossed the ferry and alone the beach.

    Everything was great until we hit the bad road of Louisiana.

    Mitch if you should decide to read and post here, beware of a nutball lawyer from Lake Charles that uses this site as his personal propaganda page.

    He just a mental case.
    You see.
