doubtful

I must admit that my typing, grammar and spelling are lacking. I will not deny I lack the ability to type properly. I had English class 1 period in high school and considering I slept through the class as I was up late every night working at the cotton gin, grain elevator and Domino's during the winter. The teacher passed me knowing I should not have been as I was working to keep myself and my bothers fed.

So I may write like an idiot and the lack of grammar may hurt my credibility. The truth is I am just a tad but smarter than my writings give me credit for.

Just in case anyone is interested there are auditions for Sherlock Holmes June 27-28

Corpsewood Manor was constructed by Dr Scudder and his butler Odem. They did all the work themselves. They very well could have been under the influence of LSD during the construction. There was no running water, phone or electricity at the manor. As you can see in many of the photos of Corpsewood the wall are far from plumb. Had they paid as much attention in construction class as sandman30728 did in science class they would have understood that this compromises the integrity of the wall.

Corpsewood was built in the 1970’s. Peerless was built in the early 1900’s. Comparing these two buildings makes about as much sense as accusing Coffee of being LU.

If you wish to continue posting outlandish comparisons in an attempt prove your point please find something viable. May I suggest you research a building destroyed in the Chicago fire in 1871 or the General Motors fire in 1953. These might add some creditability to our argument.

Just out of curiosity do you not think the building will be checked out by the proper personnel after the fire? It is their job to determine if the building is safe. This is not the job for someone who wishes they had authority and were an expert and in investigation, legal matters, scientific experimentation, and building inspector.

If I get on television and say that I am an alien does that make it fact??? Of course it doesn’t. You have to back what you say with facts and indisputable evidence to be taken seriously. Please do so! This is becoming very tiresome.

sandman30728,

The only person that you are managing to convince that Coffey is LU Lafayette is yourself. I have read enough from the both of them to know that they have completely different writing styles. Also, while LU is articulate and uses proper grammar and spelling, Coffey unabashedly butchers the English language, and his comments are often incoherent and riddled with spelling/typing errors.

As a matter of fact, sandman, your comments, which are difficult to read because of a singular run-on paragraph containing nothing but baseless allegations, resemble Coffey's writing style more than LU Lafayette's. Wow! Sandman, are you and Coffey actually the same person? See, I can play detective, too!

First of all, feelings toward a situation are NOT statements of fact so, thus they don't require proof to back them up. Futhermore I stated that I felt that by Mr Coffey making comments via the video on the WDEF Youtube channel that he was L.U. LaFayette. If you want to talk "burden of proof" there you go. The City of LaFayette,the City of LaFayette and as a matter of fact the entire County of Walker has been persistantly mentioned on the LaFayette Underground Facebook and also the website. And what did Mr Coffey state he could " no longer" do? Mention comments about the city of Rossville on Facebook.Prior,forget that even after this Peerless Mills nonsense I myself have NEVER seen any comments what so ever about the City of Rossville on his own personal Facebook. With the exception of his cheesy attempts at Campaigning for his wasteful hopes and dreams of becoming Mayor.

Now,if that isn't proof enough that Mr Coffey is LaFayette Underground (L.U. LaFayette) I don't know what is.Now,considering the fact that on his personal Facebook Mr Coffey has NOT said any derogatory,harassing or otherwise prevoking comments in regards to the City of Rossville, it boggles my mind why Mr Coffey didn't immeadiately seek a lawsuit on the basis of slander and defamation of character and/or slander.

As for the subject of the fire, sorry but time stamped and tamper proof archives from the 911 center and/or Rossville Fire Department is evident that this imaginary story of the Rossville Fire Department taking an hour to begin Fire Fighting proceedures.Let along the concrete slab test that I am STILL waiting to see. That test and that test alone would prove that the structural integrity of his building would be absolutely unfit, if still totally standing at all.To prove this,go to any article you can find about Corpsewood Manor infamous for the murders at Taylors Ridge in Chattooga County. That place was set a blaze shortly after the murders that took place there,the exterior was made of Brick and that place burned to the ground .And you're going to try to convince me that a building of similar materials burned for a couple hours and didn't sustain ANY harsh structural integrity? Please,I was born.....just not yesterday.

Coffey make his accusations and attempts to support them with facts in a court of law. I do not agree with a lot of the grand standing that he does, but he allows the decisions to be made by a judge. Then appeals if he doesn’t like the outcome, but that is his choice. If he makes accusations then the burden of proof is on him. If he is accused then burden falls on the one making the accusations.

You said

First and foremost, I STRONGLY feel that this man was responsible for setting fire to his own "business establishment" or my apologies; the builidng that he owns.

In my opinion Mr Coffey somehow rigged this blow torch up, or had someone to do so, exited the building and then all hellfire and brimstone went loose from there. And I dare anyone to attempt to show me proof otherwise.

You've NEVER seen "me" on "L.U." except for the fact that you ARE L.U. and I know I can prove it

Mr Coffey, I have more education in the tip of my thumb nail than you have in your entire brain.

These are statements that you made that you can’t back up with fact. The burden of proof is on you not on Coffey. When Coffey made the statement that the fire trucks did not arrive fast enough then he must prove that in court.

Attempting to communicate with someone that is obsessed with wording statements so they feel they can’t be held accountable and constantly drops back to a 3rd grade mentality to dare someone to provide fact has become tiring to me.

It is impossible to defeat a man who refuses to admit his errors by argument.

First of all,making a wild accusation that I wish to appear as a police detective or building inspector is absolutely absurd.Giving the assumption to anyone that I am either one possibly would give grounds for criminal impersonation and well, unlike Mr Coffey,I don't thrive for attention so much that I am willing to ALLEGEDLY do something ignorant enough to be wanted by law enforcement. Secondly; I would strongly feel that Mr Coffey would like to scientifically prove that a specific building material can burn for the specified time in which Mr Coffey alleges that it burned for and still have the same strong structural integrity that it apparently does. And not only the amount of time it burned,but a simulated explosion at the same magnitude that the explosion possibly was when these tanks exploded.Mr Coffey loses his own merit by not doing so , because he's NOT proven anything except he knows how to slanderize a Fire Department when they themselves have well documented tamper proof time stamped archives of when everything took place and how long it took to take place. No if's ands or buts about it.

Please read before post before you comment. It was never stated that direct accusations were made only that they were wild and lacked merit. I know you never stated that you were a detective or building inspector. I said that you wish to appear as. You inability to differentiate actual fact from what you suspect would rule you out as a detective or building inspector. Telling someone that they need to perform a test on concrete does not prove a point. Actually performing the test could give merit. You seem to want or dare everyone to prove you wrong, but what you want proven is nothing more than what you think. You never seem to provide anything more than what you think or what you think you know.

You had an opportunity to prove what you thought and get paid for doing so.

I will quote you on this one. “You've NEVER seen "me" on "L.U." except for the fact that you ARE L.U. and I know I can prove it.”

Still waiting.

If you manage complete that task then you can go to work on proving that I am Coffey.

Happy Hunting

First and foremost, I have NOT made any direct accusation in the manner that I feel it is a matter of fact. But a possibility (once again there goes the chances of a slander or libelous lawsuit, my most sincere apologies.)Furthermore I have not stated that I am a detective,building inspector,etc. I just know what fire does to concrete.Which is why I would like to see Mr Coffey build a slab of the same type of concrete his building is made of and the same thickness dousing it with the same flammable substance(s) that was the cause of this fire. Also simulate the same scale of an explosion that allegedly happened in this Mill. Allow this concrete to burn for the same exact amount of time that Mr Coffey alleges that his building burned. We all know according to his statement he provided which is currently published all over the internet,including a news station that he claims it burned after this explosion at least an hour ,that's not including the actual time he alleges that it took for the fire itself to be extinguished.Furthermore, I'm only providing proof against Mr Coffey's words from his own mouth. So,No "browndog70" I am not the one whom has to provide Merit, Mr Coffey does. He's making wild accusations himself that the Fire Department has proven otherwise with time stamped paperwork that can NOT be altered in anyway shape or form. Also Mr Coffey has NOT given one valid reason as of yet for his ignorance of wanting to allegedly get a lawsuit against an entire city that he himself claims on WDEF's Youtube channel is broke. So, you're preaching to the wrong Choir over whom should provide merit for their words. (Oh as for Les Coffey being the person that runs the LaFayette Underground website and Facebook,he himself pretty much admitted it in the same WDEF Youtube video when he stated and I quote "This is a violation of my Freedom of Speech,they went a step further in an attempt to keep me from posting on Facebook and other media networks such as yourself (WDEF) the facts". Now this video was posted on Youtube Feb 18,2011. Prior to this Mr Coffey on his own "personal" FB has never made any comments about any situation of such in regards to this matter. However the LaFayette Underground Community page on Facebook was flooded with this stuff. Furthermore Mr Coffey coming on here is a violation of his bond stipulations mentioned in this same Youtube video because he read them and it says and I quote "Their will be no threatening or harassing or otherwise prevoking communication including but not limited to personal communication telephone calls,fax communications and postings on social networking sites.Nor with any employee of the City of Rossville including those employeed of the Department of Public Safety,no threatening ,harassing or otherwise provoking communication with business owners in the city of Rossville". Lastly, Mr Coffey stated that Peerless Mills owns the sewer system at the mill, however he went on to say that Tax Payers provided the sewer maintence service to businesses. Mr Coffey my most sincere apologies to have to inform you of this, but when businesses have issues with their business,sewage,electrical,etc...those businesses pay for those services out of pocket. (I've already called several businesses in Rossville and asked.) As for you Browndog70,I am honestly starting to wonder if you're also not Mr Coffey considering you seem to be awfully defensive toward him when he hardly has any followers . (I'm sure if you aren't though you'll attempt to obtain a lawsuit on the basis of slander claiming that I am proclaiming you are Mr Coffey when I'm not... ).

Sandman

You consistently make wild accusations which have no merit. You wish to appear as a detective, legal expert, and now building inspector. You have accused Coffey of being LaFayette Underground. You have insinuated that he set fire to his own building. Now you would suggest that he attempt to rebuild on a slab that lacks structural integrity. May I suggest or we can go back to 3rd grade and I will double dog dare you to provide merit to you assumptions. If you can not do so then drop it.

Furthermore Mr Coffey, who should be taken more serious? Me, someone whom has MULTIPLE TIMES called you out on things you wish NOT to directly address to the point, or you. An IDIOT that purchased a big pile of heep and expect the City of Rossville to do maintence on it and pay your bills plus, let's not forget that you allegedly have a pending lawsuit against the City of Rossville, when on Youtube via WDEF's Youtube Channel , you are clearly stating that the City of Rossville is broke. Now who in their right mind attempts to get a lawsuit against someone that they claim has no money to gain to begin with? I mean seriously....keep on Mr Coffey, you're burrying yourself by the minute with your ignorance.

Mr Coffey, you ; yourself have made allegations that the Fire Department took an entire hour BEFORE they even bothered fire fighting proceedures in extinguishing the flames burning in the building. Regardless if it's Concrete or Wood they burn. Concrete is a LOT more resilient to flames than wood of course however ,you're going to tell me that their was NO structure stability damage AT ALL after not just the hour you claim that the fire department allegedly waited to begin fire extinguishing proceedures but the time it took for them to actually extinguish the flames? Mr Coffey,I dare you to make a slab of concrete with the same structural integrity as what your Mill is made of.But of course smaller in scale. Douse this slab of concrete with the same ignitor that was said to be the reason for this fire,then set this slab of concrete on fire....let it burn for a couple hours (Because we have to include the amount of time it actually took to extinguish this fire on top of your alleged hour delay of extinguishing proceedures )then examine the structural integrity of it .I'll go so far as to dare you to post this test in it's entirety because I gurantee you that you'll find that the physical characteristics of the concrete slab have drastically changed. (Of course I only know this because I paid attention in Science class )but hey,who knows by some miraculous miracle from God I could be wrong....anyway,go ahead and do this experiment and video document it, please.

I would not waste my time suing Harold Sandman as he has to be beleiveable to cause harm and no one takes him serious. Secondly no matter how silly he sounds he has a right to his opinion. Here are the facts about the fire

It was accidental caused by a torch

We did not have water to the fire hydrant

The fire department was slow to respond

Any of these three things is not the cause of the substantial damage but a combination of the three.

Had we had water to the hydrant we would not have needed the fire department. Had they responded timely and sent adequate equipment the damages would not be as great

The reason the building is still standing is because that section is 100% concrete.

The various insurance companies will sort it out and us debating things is a waste of time.

That is why I said “pushing slander” instead of slander. So then we go into a spill of why you can’t be sued for what you typed and we learn to use the CAP LOCK button to make sure we all understand what you FEEL has happened.

I FEEL the reasons that have been given are about a ludicrous as I’ve ever heard. I don’t THINK a motive was ever given. It would only APPEAR that you hold a grudge against Coffey and FEELINGS can SOMETIMES cloud the facts.

I thought that you may actually have some information about the fire since it has received very little media coverage. I was obviously incorrect.

Actually considering I carefully worded what I stated; no it's not. And if Mr Coffey thinks he can get one red cent out of me in a court of law I kindly invite him to try to do so.He will fail miserably in THAT lawsuit as he has with his other frivilous and boisterous lawsuits.The reason I cannot face a lawsuit for slander is, I simply stated my FEELINGS on this subject by breaking down the available evidence at hand. And one's feelings that isn't a statement of a statement of hardcore fact isn't slander or "pushing slander" as you state. Now had someone stated that they know for a fact that Mr Coffey set fire to his own establishment and it be absolutely determined that he had nothing to do with the incident...that would be slander. I myself didn't say that. I stated that I felt that he set fire to his own business establishment and I gave reason for my feelings. Apparently the legal system isn't your strong suit.What do I FEEL his motives were for? Who knows at this point, could it be an insurance scam? Well that highly depends on how much if any insurance Mr Coffey had on the building. I personally wouldn't insure it for a penny myself. The building from the "get go" was a big waste of time, money and mere existence. In my OPINION Mr Coffey has done everything up until now just to put his name on the News and be in the light of everything. I FEEL This man thrives on attention,wether it be good or bad just so he can go to sleep at night and pretend he is important. As for the suggestion that someone that's an Admin at CatWalkChat should trace him and post his IP address, that is illegal. Only local law enforcement can request such an action and even then that information would NOT and should NOT be posted publically for Mr Coffey's safety.However I do strongly feel that Mr Coffey if wanted by the Law should be rightfully brought to Justice but by legal means only.

I will not attempt to prove anyone wrong without access to all facts. Nor would I make accusations without all the facts. I will say that the burden of proof fall on the accuser. Accusations of felony arson based on a hunch that you have is pushing slander.

Having cut fuel tanks in the past I have witnessed how easily they can blow while being cut. We always filled them with water before we started and sometimes they would still blow out. No one was ever killed by one of these explosions, but I will say that underwear was changed a few times.

The fire occurred at a metal recycling facility. This facility like many others accepts junk cars. Most cars (especially junk cars) would have been powered by some type of flammable fuel source. I don’t understand why it would be so hard to believe that a fire started while cutting a car into manageable pieces. The fire seemed to be reported in a reasonable time.

Are you saying his motive was insurance or was he just trying to prove a point.

Please let me know why you feel so strongly.

First and foremost, I STRONGLY feel that this man was responsible for setting fire to his own "business establishment" or my apologies; the builidng that he owns. Considering allegedly it's his daughter that owns the actual "business" that is inside the building. The reason I have came to this assumption is, once again someone sticks their neck out for the almighty Les Coffey and he shows NO APPRECIATION what so ever. He (Mr Coffey) alleges that it took an hour for the Rossville Fire Deparment to even bother putting out the building.Yet the building is still standing. As for the cause of the fire itself, ok...seriously...a blow torch? You mean to tell me that MIRACULOUSLY that a single human being was holding a blow torch,a vehicle caught fire after a gas line in the vehicle was severed and an explosion happened and their was NO fatality? Whomever this man was must have had the ability to teleport out of the building in the same manner that the Mortal Kombat character Raiden can do so. Just...magically. In my opinion Mr Coffey somehow rigged this blow torch up, or had someone to do so, exited the building and then all hellfire and brimstone went loose from there. And I dare anyone to attempt to show me proof otherwise.

can one of the admins here at catwalkchatt, please post Les' ip address? It's traceable and I'd bet that award would go to you

Your are throwing your time away arguing with this person. That is what he wants he lives for drama. Let it go, he has his coming and it will come, it may not even be right now but it will come, "For whatever a man soweth that shall he also reap." He is getting a rise out of you people and enjoying it, and your letting him. He is like a spoiled little child and you all are playing his game. If the police want him they know where to find him, he goes to that mill all the time, set down there you will see him, probably with that woman he runs around with, I hear she is just about as conniving and wreckless as he is. Enjoy yourself little man your time will come.
