Comments for Vidrines awarded $1.6 million for malicious prosecution at http://www.theind.com , comment 1 to 10 out of 10 comments http://www.theind.com Wed, 19 Jun 2013 20:58:37 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9141-vidrines-awarded-16-million-for-malicious-prosecution#comment-23800 I was approached by Office of Inspector General Special Agents. I too was asked to lie because the agents did not want to hear the truth. The Agents want to hear what they believe they want to hear. To them the truth does not help their caes. They want to hear you say, yes take me to jail Mr. Agent because I am guilty as you claim (even when you are innocent). They get brownie points for arrests. Special Agents are corrupt. They only look for incriminating evidence, not exculpatory evidence. Their job is to make your life hell and ruin your history with a criminal record or charge on your RAP sheet. I had absolutely no criminal history in my life. Even though the charges were dismissed for lack of probable cause, it still shows up on my criminal record as a dismissal to this day. I lost my security clearance and countless job opportunities because of it. I proved my innocence, but they caused permanent damage to me and my family. I am stuck working minimum wage jobs because of what they did to my life. - Fed Agents Are Crooks!

I'm sure this is just a small victory in the damage the EPA has done to this man's business. Congrats Mr. Vidrine! - yay Mon, 10 Oct 2011 09:40:11 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9141-vidrines-awarded-16-million-for-malicious-prosecution#comment-23235 hmmm wrote: "You realize that the people who prosecuted the bad EPA agent are government employees?" No, it was a civil suit. Vidrine and his privately hired attorney sued the EPA, not the government. And if it wasn't for the recourse to civil suits, this "bad" EPA agent would not have been held accountable for engineering an inquisition for the sole purpose of an ongoing sexual affair with an FBI agent. - Phil N deBlanc Sun, 09 Oct 2011 16:33:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9141-vidrines-awarded-16-million-for-malicious-prosecution#comment-23234 I was there the day of the epa raid. It was crazy. They came into the refinery with guns in hand. they told us we wouold all go to jail if we did not tell them increminating informatiom about canal and hubert vidrine. They even pointed a gun at one of the lab employee that did not tell them what he wanted to here. They broke pictures and turned over file cabinates, threw files files all over the floor. One fool pulled out the operating program out of the master computer freezing the plant controls. The plant operator had to get a replacement program or the refinery would go into emergancy shutdown. This could have caused fires and even explosions. The agents showed us no respect. They knew nothing about operating a refinery and were doing things that could have caused injury or worst. When Mr.Vidrine saw this he went off on these agents. He told them to get out of the control room and he would control the orderly rotation of employees to be interviewed. I heard several heated arguments betwee mr. v and these agents over several hours of occupation of the refinery. I know that the reason the agents came after mr. v. was because he did not take their shit. He stood up for us. I'm proud of him for not giving up to the epa. they were wrong and he was right. I know i was there. - ex canal employee Sun, 09 Oct 2011 15:28:19 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9141-vidrines-awarded-16-million-for-malicious-prosecution#comment-23190 You anti-gov folks realize that Judge Doherty, the person who awarded 1.6 mil to Mr. V is a government employee, right? You realize that the people who prosecuted the bad EPA agent are government employees? Finally, I hope you realize that the entity that provided a forum for the civil redress of this wrong is, the government. There are good and bad people in government just as in any other corporate, religious, or civic institution. Talk radio and Fox are rotting your already small minds. - hmmm Fri, 07 Oct 2011 06:13:51 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9141-vidrines-awarded-16-million-for-malicious-prosecution#comment-23109 I agree Anton Mr V is a very nice man, wouldnt hurt a flea surely would never allow hazardous waste into his community. The community he and ms T love and raised their children and grandchildren in. thats absolutely absurb - I guess this agent underestimated the fight mr V had in him to prove his innocence. Go MR V so happy this is coming to an end - Lucy Wed, 05 Oct 2011 21:05:07 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9141-vidrines-awarded-16-million-for-malicious-prosecution#comment-23034 Our government officials should not be held up as idols they put their pants on one leg at a time as you and I do. In todays government there " ARE NO HEROES. GREED HAS WON ! IF we stopped the lobbyists and ran them out of the country you may could find a politician who cares a bit about the people, but even then don't bet on it. Politicians come out from office much more richer than when they took office, that should tell you they are all scam artists, lowlife thieves. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Tue, 04 Oct 2011 21:49:48 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9141-vidrines-awarded-16-million-for-malicious-prosecution#comment-23021 "Throughout the entire investigation, EPA Agent Phillips and FBI agent Ekko Barnhill, who were jointly investigating the case, were having a sexual relationship, according to court filings" -------------- They are from the government and here to help us ;-) - Whip it Good Tue, 04 Oct 2011 12:08:18 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9141-vidrines-awarded-16-million-for-malicious-prosecution#comment-23003 I know Hubert personaly, what a nice fellow, hard working and cares for his family and community and the 1.67 million should be doubled, he employs people from the surrounding areas keeping them off of unemployment and is a hands on man. I can only hope that appolgies are made public so as to right the accusations made by the EPA.......Sincerely A Harman - Anton Harman Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:53:24 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9141-vidrines-awarded-16-million-for-malicious-prosecution#comment-22999 How many more in the federal government, like Keith Phillips, are abusing their power to the detriment of citizens rights? And we should trust our government? - IMJacquemo Mon, 03 Oct 2011 13:58:03 +0100
