  A friend of mine rekindled a high school crush on Facebook. He was married at the time--(apparently unhappily married) Now he's married to the girl he had a thing for in high school. Facebook is not always a bad route to take.

  It wasn't slander--it was a question. Please learn the difference.

  Piper will screw all of us. If he doesn't care about his wife, and uses the police department offices as a bedroom, then it's a no brainer what he'll be doing to the people of our great county. The man was born without a conscious.

  Lauren McDonald is educated, AND posesses a little thing called ethics that comes in handy for the office he's pursuing. Who cares if he didn't have a silver tongue at the debate, that's irrelevant to how he'll manage the sheriff's office.

  Wake up Forsyth County, don't overlook the diamond or we'll end up with rough. Piper leaves a path if destruction in his personal life and he'll do it to our county as well.

  Is it true Piper has had sex in the police department office on the tax payer's dime with at least three different women? Would that be called " tax funded " sex?

  Shall we just remove the chamber from the county? Would that fix things for you? That way you can run the show because you have so much experience in what works for the people.

  You're not a paid writer, so "taking ownership" of the content on Patch really isn't an option for you.

  Pappy, legalizing "real weed" is a pipe dream for lazy pot- heads who need to wake up and join the real world, work a full-time job and grow a few ounces of ambition.

  MM, synthetic drug compounds are unknown and typically concocted by unknown and therefore unaccountable individuals. Young people (understandably) and apparently some adults can't comprhend the intricacies behind the so-called "maufacturing" process. This is the reason for the latest legislation. Without the law, synthetic drugs would become as commonplace as alcohol, junk food, etc. you seeing the future now?

  --Duane Piper is likely the most qualified candidate for the job. He doesn't have personal relationship issues that affect his job performance nor is he the water boy for the Forsyth County Good Old Boys Club.

  Examples for Piper's qualifications:
  He's a former paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division and a veteran law enforcement professional who has been with the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office since 1995. He climbed the ranks to commander, then sergeant and also lieutenant. He knows the county, he knows the budget issues and he has a plan to balance the waste Paxton has caused this county.

  --Sheriff Paxton can no longer distinguish between right and wrong because of his messy personal life.

  Examples include the following: The girlfriend, the baby, the scorned wife, the 911 call, and finally, Paxton's tacit approval of officers having sex in a patrol cars on the county's dollar.

  Lauren McDonald has no experience.

  Examples include: He is our coroner with no formal forensics certification as it's shockingly not required. Yes, it's McDonald's ultimate say on how you took your last breath. That alone is enough reason to educate yourself on what really goes on this "fast growing" county. He has ZERO experience in law enforcement. But, McDonald intends to bolster the school system with more resource officers, and this perhaps, is the most important issue with many voters. He's obviously got his priorities straight.
