Georgia Supreme Court Upholds Ruling Against Sheriff Victor Hill in Discrimination Lawsuit

by @ 12:00 am. Filed under Nuts on Parade

Victor Hill The best way to explain this to people who never heard the name Victor Hill is to say that he’s proof Black people can discriminate too. After being elected as Sheriff of Clayton County, Georgia he initiated a firing campaign against mostly high ranking Whites and people who supported his White challenger. Some of them filed suit on grounds of discrimination and political retaliation, citing the firings as a violation of the Clayton County Civil Service System Act. The Act protects county employees from being fired without cause. They won a summary judgement, which Sheriff Hill attempted to appeal to the State Supreme Court, but the state’s high court has upheld the lower trial court’s ruling.

It is interesting to see a Black Sheriff not only getting slapped with rules that Blacks have used to fight racism, but Sheriff Hill has used every trick at his disposal to try and cover his actions. The same way past racists in that very same county would. What has Victor Hill learned from history? Nothing at all.

Court: Sheriff’s Firings Unjust

ATLANTA (AP) — The state Supreme Court has upheld a lower court ruling that Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill was unjust in firing 27 deputies his first day in office.

In a six-to-one decision on Monday, the court ruled “that the elected sheriff is not subject to the civil service system, but those occupying positions in his office are.” It says the sheriff’s employees can only be fired for what it calls “good cause and in accordance with civil service system rules and regulations.”

On January 3, 2005 — Hill’s first day in office — he fired 27 deputies — many of whom were white, male and high-ranking. They sued Hill — alleging discrimination and political retaliation by Hill, who is Clayton County’s first black sheriff.

Some of those fired supported the incumbent, white sheriff in the 2004 election.

Will Sheriff Hill respect the court ruling? History shows that’s up in the air. He has defied court orders in the past. The article below is from one of his past actions, not the latest State Supreme Court ruling.

02/16/06 - Workers say Hill defied court order


In Clayton County Superior Court, two defendants — Majors Larry Bartlett and Michael Maddox — signed statements that quoted Hill saying he doesn’t “care what any judge, court order or commissioner say. In fact, I pay as much attention to those judges as I do my that dog in my neighbor’s yard.”

Hill denied those statements and said he won’t be bullied by Miller.

“We’re not going to be intimidated by any lawsuit,” Hill said. “We’re going to fight lawsuits. We’re not going to settle them, but we’re going to appeal them when necessary.”

And with all these appeals THAT HE IS LOSING who’s money is being wasted? The money of the people who elected him and others in the county.

Given all the nuttery, Clayton County officials have been trying to take away some of Sheriff Hill’s responsibilities.

Clayton considers marshal service

Clayton County officials are discussing plans to start a county marshal service that would take responsibility for security at the courthouse and jail away from Sheriff Victor Hill.

County Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell has been meeting with staff members to figure out how the marshal service would be formed and how it would work.

Now for anyone that thinks Victor Hill is the “victim” in all this because he is Black. Consider this, two of the State Supreme Court’s three Black Justices ruled against Sheriff Hill in the 6-1 ruling. County Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell is also Black and the former Atlanta Police Chief.

(Side note: Chairman Bell’s son is former American Idol runner up Justin Guarini. How Justin got his last name, I don’t know, but Eldrin Bell is his father.)

The bottom line is that Victor Hill is nuts.

Clayton County, Georgia has been seeing a bit of a demographic shift and some Black folks new to power are proving to be as evil as racists before them. In a prior incident, the county’s majority Black school board fired the White superintendent for no good reason. (Oh yea, but he was White.) And guess what, Jesse Jackson came running TO WORK WITH THE ABUSIVE BLACKS! The county school system lost it’s accreditation for a short period of time. It was so insane, that even Ultra-Left Winged Liberal Nut Queen Cynthia Tucker wrote this editorial, that sums up the past school board ruckus. (Something similar to this has happend before in New Orleans.)

And hey, I’ve got friends in Clayton County. They think the fools abusing their power are nuts, just like I do. Racist nuts that shame the efforts of the old Civil Rights movement.
