It looks like Vernon Jones and his "darker administration" have gotten themselves knee deep in it due to anti-White discrimination which runs rampant throughout the entire county government.
Discrimination lawsuit against DeKalb County to go to trial
The Associated Press - ATLANTA
A federal appeals court has ruled that a race discrimination lawsuit against top officials in DeKalb County can go to trial.The two-year-old suit alleges that DeKalb officials replaced white employees with black ones in parks management to create a "darker administration" that better reflects the county's racial makeup.
U.S. District Court Judge William Duffey ruled Nov. 21 that a jury will weigh on two current and two former county employees' claims that they were treated with hostility and were forced to resign or were wrongfully terminated.
DeKalb County Chief Executive Officer Vernon Jones, executive assistant Richard Stogner, parks director Marilyn Boyd Drew and assistant administrator Morris Williams deny the lawsuit's allegations.
The judge dismissed Joe Stone, DeKalb's human resources director, from the suit.
The suit was filed by three whites, Becky Kelley, Michael Bryant and John Drake, and one black, Herbert Lowe, who says he was fired because he would not discriminate against white managers.
Officials with the DeKalb County parks department deny the claim.
According to Duffey's ruling, the environment at the department could be perceived by a jury as "pervasively and discriminatorily hostile and abusive."Kelley, who was parks director for nine years before Jones took office in 2001, claims Williams told her Jones would not accept a white candidate for deputy director and Stogner suggested she offer the position to Drew, who is black.
A year later Kelley was replaced by Drew in a restructuring by Jones. Kelley resigned in October 2002.
Kelley, Bryant and Drake claim their job responsibilities were greatly reduced and they were intentionally kept out of the loop on hiring and other department issues. Lowe said Drew told him to withhold information from white employees so they would appear to be incompetent.
Lowe also said he was told by Jones, Stone and Drew that the CEO's plan was to increase the park department's number of black managers by removing white managers.

I live in Dekalb County so I have seen my share of incompetent, racist
black politicians. Vernon Jones is the same guy who paid for 5 bodyguards
at a cost of $300,000 per year all paid by the taxpayers. At least Cynthia
McKinney has been voted out of Congress.

I am really happy that she was voted out of office.
Not only are niggers trying to take over GA, but Mexicans are flooding in as well. I used to live in SC right on the GA line and the Mexicans are flooding in and taking over the whole area.
I heard GA passed some new tough laws that are being contested. Hope they aren't overturned and GA kicks them out. I have the old GA state flag hung in my room. I would love to see GA return to the days when White people were in power.

I was beginning to think I was the only White person left in DeKalb. I'm out here in the eastern section of the county, just up the road from old Vernon. He occasionally has a patrol car stationed in front of his house, paid for by our tax money as well.
You are probably aware that the same anti-White discrimination within the Parks Dept, mentioned in the article, has also occurred in the fire and police departments, and resulted in the resignation of the police chief, Louis Graham earlier this year. Graham also may be in trouble regarding a phone call he made alerting Vernon Jones that Jones was being investigated for a rape charge not too long ago. Graham admits to alerting Jones that he had been accused of rape, but of course insists he did nothing wrong.
There was a similar instance of anti-White discrimination in nearby Clayton County, where a new black sheriff fired White employees and replaced them with niggers a couple of years ago.

We do have more than our fair share of mexicans here, seems like there's more and more each day.
I do know of one Georgia County, I believe Cherokee County that is trying to pass a law which would call for fines to be imposed on people who employ or rent to illegals. I think this should be a state-wide law.

I am glad something like this has finally seen the light of day, but I await what comes of it...I hope the niggers are found guilty and it inspires more Whites to file lawsuits like this one. My biggest fear is that this will disappear from the radar screen as soon as a verdict is read, which is what usually happens when Whites are the plaintiffs.

How is it that admittedly jeopardizing a criminal investigation isn't illegal? Here's a few articles that demonstrate how this bunch of "gangstas" run this county like they own it.
Probe criticizes ex-DeKalb chief, but finds no misconduct
Calls to county CEO when he was accused of rape called improperBy MAE GENTRY
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 11/22/06Even though DeKalb County's former police chief broke no laws when he tipped off CEO Vernon Jones that a woman had accused him of rape, those early telephone calls hindered the investigation, a special prosecutor has found.
Former Police Chief Louis Graham called Jones twice as the woman was being interviewed by officers at the hospital after the alleged incident in January 2005.
"The telephone calls were clearly improper, unethical and offensive to standard police investigatory practice, but our inquiry uncovered no evidence that tended to show any illegal actions," a special prosecutor wrote in a Nov. 15 letter to Attorney General Thurbert Baker.
"The ... criminal investigation would most likely have been much more productive had Jones not been alerted by Graham of the allegation."
The findings were contained in a blistering report that followed a six-month investigation of the DeKalb County Police Department.
The report was highly critical of Graham's management of the department and of his phone calls to Jones the night the CEO was accused of rape.
While the woman was at the hospital filing a complaint with police, Jones' attorney called a key witness in the investigation, according to police files on the case.
No charges were brought against Jones, who participated in a "consensual, legitimate adult encounter," his lawyer has said.
Graham, who resigned May 3, said Tuesday night he would not comment because he hadn't seen a copy of the report. He did not return a phone call Wednesday.
Jones declined to comment, but Ann Kimbrough, his chief of staff, issued a statement.
"The attorney general agreed there was no wrongdoing on behalf of Louis Graham or Vernon Jones; this is clearly another case where taxpayers' dollars were poured down the drain."
The investigation began in May, when Gwen Keyes Fleming, DeKalb County's district attorney, cited a conflict of interest and referred the matter to the state attorney general's office.
Baker, the attorney general, appointed a special prosecutor, and Bob Keller, who served as Clayton County's district attorney for 27 years and is now executive counsel with the Prosecuting Attorney's Council of Georgia, helped lead the investigation.
It focused on five incidents:
• The suspension of an officer who was accused of threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend (the officer's superiors had recommended that he be terminated).
• The decision to halt a domestic violence investigation involving two officers;
• The department's response to the rape allegation against Jones.
• Allegations that former Police Chief Eddie Moody was pressured to provide false testimony to a grand jury investigating Jones' security detail.
• Accusations that R.P. Flemister, the former assistant chief, interfered in the arrest of his son, who ran from police while being searched for a weapon following an attempted armed robbery. Flemister retired shortly after Graham did. He has not commented on those allegations and could not be reached Wednesday.
In each of those cases, department officials did nothing criminal, the special prosecutor found. But the report faulted Graham's management.
"During the short tenure of Chief Louis Graham, there was a chasm in leadership that was never bridged," the special prosecutor wrote. "He was generally perceived as an 'outsider' who was unprepared to lead a very large department.
"Failing to bring a trusted aide with him when he joined the department made Chief Graham very vulnerable to unwise counsel.
"Many officers reported a deep dissatisfaction with a worsening situation that adversely affected morale in the department.
"It appears that a number of experienced supervisors left the department citing ineffective leadership after the resignation of former Chief Eddie Moody, who apparently enjoyed widespread support within the ranks."
Appointed chief in 2004
Jones appointed Graham chief of police in 2004 following Moody's abrupt retirement.
After he retired, Moody said he was pressured to provide false testimony to a grand jury investigating Jones' security detail, according to a deposition he made in an unrelated case.
As part of the attorney general's examination of the department, investigators spoke to Moody. They said his conversations with a Jones ally did not constitute witness tampering, according to the report.
Moody could not be reached to comment on the special prosecutor's findings.
The report comes in the midst of continuing turmoil for the county's police department.
Officers have been under scrutiny over a string of fatal shootings, and the department has operated under an interim chief while Jones conducts a national search for Graham's replacement.
According to the special prosecutor's report, problems in the department were aggravated by tension between officers who wanted a union and those who opposed the idea, including supervisors.
"You had some very uneven discipline," Keller, the lead investigator, said Wednesday in a phone interview. "The core is there for an excellent department. It's just that some real bad leadership decisions were made."
Keyes Fleming was not available for comment, but said in a statement: "This investigation answers the questions and closes this chapter in the history of the DeKalb County Police Department."

Here's an older article about the rape allegations:
DeKalb CEO Denies Rape Allegation
Reported By: Jennifer Leslie
Web Editor: Manav Tanneeru
Last Modified: 1/5/2005 10:13:46 PMAn attorney for DeKalb County CEO Vernon Jones questioned the motives of a woman who accused his client of rape earlier this week.
Jones, thus far, has not made any public comments about the allegation.
Late Wednesday Jones’ attorney Dwight Thomas said the CEO is in total disbelief about the allegation and described the encounter between him and the 29-year-old woman as consensual.
“The CEO has not engaged in any improper conduct, the CEO is a celebrity and vulnerable to being framed by someone with ulterior motives,” Thomas said.
The woman accuses Jones of forcibly raping her at his home in south DeKalb County on the night of Dec. 28.
According to a police incident report, the woman waited five days before going to the Rockdale Medical Center to be examined for rape. Police have since interviewed her and another woman who witnessed the alleged incident.
"When someone waits that period of time, that leaves room for motivations to develop,” Jones’ attorney said.
Thomas said Jones met his accuser at a DeKalb County Commission meeting and he claims she called to check in with him after the alleged rape and before going to police. Thomas also claims she consulted a civil attorney this week about possibly filing a lawsuit.
"I believe there are some sinister motives and if this matter continues we will expose each one of those sinister motives,” Thomas said.
Thomas escorted Jones as he met with police detectives investigating the case today. Thomas described it as a voluntary encounter, not an interview, that lasted about 30 minutes.
"We're treating it like any case, criminal investigation, allegation made, we investigate it,” said DeKalb County Police Chief Louis Graham.
Police plan to forward their findings to the DeKalb district attorney. So far no criminal charges have been filed.
