Mr. Bridges, the YCD thinks you need to learn the definition of VOLUNTEER

Before you go suing the City for work you VOLUNTEERED maybe you should look up the word either online or in a dictionary. You are wasting City time and money on your lawsuit claiming you are OWED $975 dollars for work you claim you volunteered to do at Paradise Manor following a fire in February.

Tyrone Bridges claims money is owed to him for the expenses he accrued while volunteering his time. He said he paid out of his own pocket for equipment and supplies requested by the HDC.

That's fine, the YCD salutes your can do spirit but certainly you'd have some kind of CONTRACT to work on city properties after fires and such. Since none exists it's hard to see where your sense of entitlement comes into play.

"I think this is a real embarrassment in the wake of a tragedy," Bridges said. "It's ridiculous."

NO, what's ridiculous is your legal case in this matter.

Tyrone Bridges is a thug and a creep. He tried to assault me once outside the courthouse, when I was covering a trial for the newspaper. Don't give him shit. In fact, send his ass back to prison where he belongs.

Which begs the question Colonel Will, were you there perhaps covering some other chickanery Tyrone Bridges was being held to account for that day at the Courthouse?

No ... but it's almost better than that. You might remember that, many years ago, an EMU cop pulled a gun on an African-American student during a fracas in one of the campus dorms. When the kid, who was unarmed at the time of the incident, arrived in court to face his trumped-up assault charges (which were a ruse to take attention off of the cop, who was clearly in the wrong, Tyrone was on hand as the kid's self-appointed body guard and felt it was his duty to lay hands on the working press for trying to do their job. It's just another in a long string of reprehensible incidents that surround Tyrone, dating back do his days as a south side drug dealer, which is what landed him in prison in the first place. A creep and a thug masquerading as a "community activist." Just exactly what the kind of role model the kids on the south side don't need.

Wow, so he DOES indeed have a sketchy history. Surprising

Mr. Bridges has at least 8 children by 6 or 7 different women and lives on social security to avoid paying child support. Money is his only objective in any "volunteering" he does...

We made the mistake of letting him rent from us. He acted all nice and just trying to do the best he could. He even had letters from the mayor and chief of police. We thought he would be a good tenant. Ever hear of to good to be true.... Well first we had to fight to get him to put the electric in his name. When he did, he called the electric company and accused us of stealing electric. We had to go through so much to finally prove we weren't and the whole time ,of course, he didn't pay the bill. Then he told section 8 the apartment was unlivable. My father in law had just fixed the whole place, new paint, dishwasher, carpet, cabinets, tile, etc., before he passed away. Section 8 suspended his rent until they investigated. Of course, he didn't pay a dime. He finally moved. Last week, S.W.A.T. came to the door looking for him( fully armed with assault rifles drawn) I don't know what he did, but karma is a bitch!

I am reading through all of the comments and from what I know of him-that about sums it up! A liar, deadbeat father, alcoholic. Must I go on? I hope he never tries to run for city government again because it must be an embarrassment to his family. Everyone I know that knows this guy despises him!
