are really pretty weird.Its hard to think that someone would actually believe their own twisted crapp.Crapp that is so far from the truth it isnt even funny.
Wow ana..just...wow.
trooper jack does it again..he saves the kids that are here and he brings them into the world.
you've done it again little brother!!
Clayton, N.C. — A state trooper was reunited on Thursday for the first time with a baby girl whom he helped deliver along a Johnston County highway.
Trooper J.L. Thorpe was conducting a routine traffic stop at N.C. Highway 42 and N.C. Highway 50 on Saturday, June 28, when a couple driving by waved him over.
Beverly Simmons and her husband, David, had left for the hospital when her water broke 10 minutes earlier. But Beverly Simmons said she knew the baby was on its way.
"Luckily, we got at the top of the hill, and the most beautiful blue light you've ever seen in your entire life was sitting there," David Simmons said.
Thorpe came over and found himself in a surprising situation.
"You told me you were having a baby, and I thought, 'You've got to be kidding,'" he said
"I didn't know what to do other than tell her to breathe. And I must have told her to breath a hundred times," the trooper continued.
Within three minutes, Thorpe, despite his surprise, was holding a baby girl – Ailey Simmons.
"I wasn't expecting the baby to come out that quick," Thorpe said. "And when she did, it was basically catching her in my hands. She came right into my hands."
Both mother and father expressed gratitude that Thorpe was there to bring their new daughter into the world.
"He's very calm, and he helped me stay calm," Beverly Simmons said.
"If he hadn't have been there, I probably would have to be on the side of the road by myself and would have had to try to go through all of that with just the two of us," David Simmons said. "And I can't imagine how scary that would have been."
Ailey came two weeks early, but she and her mother recovered at WakeMed and have returned home.
In a meeting arranged by WRAL News, Thorpe reunited with Ailey and her parents, Beverly and David, at their home on Thursday.
Thorpe shook Ailey's hand with his pinky finger and called her "cute" and "beautiful" while she gurgled.
"It's exciting," Thorpe said. "I almost feel like part of the family in a ways. You know, I was part of the delivery."
Thorpe said he has dealt with four medical emergencies since he joined the Highway Patrol in June 2007.
Doctors credited Thorpe with saving a woman's life in January when he performed CPR her after a crash on U.S. Highway 70 in Clayton. The woman had suffered a heart attack.

Very cool.
Thanks guys.I read he is up for the trooper of the year award.S,Im sure you will be an awesome officer when all is said and done.Its people like you and Jack who make us all feel safer and help people shuck teh bad rapps that law enforcement gets all the time.
Your brother needs to be followed around by his own theme music. Very impressive.
Wow wish are police were like your brother!
I am really proud of my brother.He is a true hero and has been on tv and in the news about five times or more for going out of his way in things he has done for others..You rock Jack and I love you.Mom would be really proud of you.
We bring you North Carolina Trooper Jack Thorpe, roving hero of the highway. Our tale begins when a 14-year-old girl texted her mother, saying she and her brother were being abused by their stepmother...
The girl was with her father, stepmother and two siblings as they were driving back to Maryland from a vacation. The girl said the stepmom had tried to break her leg and punched her little brother in the face. She also said her dad had grabbed her hair.
So the mom, who was in Baltimore when she received the texts, called the North Carolina highway patrol. The girl relayed mile marker info as the family drove along I-40. Enter Trooper Jack Thorpe, who pulled the car over.
The girl had a leg injury, and her 8-year-old brother had a black eye. And the stepmom, being a dope, admitted that she punched the boy in the face because he was being disrespectful. Thorpe didn't believe he could charge the parents, because he didn't know exactly where the abuse had occurred, leaving him open to jurisdiction problems. We'd have preferred they lit them up anyway, but the call was the call.
And that's when it got weirder. A Johnson County social worker refused to accept temporary custody of the kids, claiming they were Maryland's problem. But Trooper Jack wasn't about to let bureaucracy get in the way of the kids' safety.
He got on the horn with the kids' mother in Baltimore, who granted him temporary custody. Then he brought them to his house to play with his children and eat supper until mom could make the 12-hour drive to pick them up.
"It makes me feel like I've made a difference in somebody's life," Thorpe told WTVD-TV
XXXXOk now,evidently DSS is pissed off and was trying to nail Jack for being faster than they were in helping these kids.
Whatver!XXXX

JOHNSTON COUNTY (WTVD) -- North Carolina officials are investigating the actions of social workers in two counties after an exclusive report from ABC11.
As we reported Tuesday, North Carolina Highway Patrol Trooper Jack Thorpe is being is being credited with rescuing three children from an allegedly abusive situation.
According to authorities, a 14-year-old girl texted her mother for help while riding in a vehicle on I-40 earlier this month.
The girl said her stepmother tried to break her leg and had punched her younger brother in the face. She also said her father had pulled her hair.
Authorities used mile marker information relayed from the girl to help Thorpe find the vehicle and stop it in Sampson County.
Once Thorpe rescued the kids, he tried to get social workers with the NC Division of Social Services near his home base in Johnston County to take them in temporarily until their natural mother could drive down from Baltimore to collect them.
He said they would not because the kids were from out of state and were found in another county. So, Thorpe ended up taking the children to his own home - with the permission of the mother - until she was able to complete the 12 hour drive.
"I feel like they failed at this point. In this particular instance they failed and something needs to be done about that," said Thorpe.
The children's mother says Johnston County social workers suggested the kids should stay with their father - who was accused of abusing them - until she arrived.
"Just the fact that they asked me if they could stay with their father was shocking to me," said Rabia Beydoun. "I said 'What do you mean stay with their father? They were just abused by them and you want them to stay with them?' I said 'No. I'm heading there and I'm going to get there as soon as possible.'"
"What if you don't have a Trooper Jack? What happens to those kids? I'm very disappointed," she continued.
Thorpe says the system needs to change.
"It needs to be known and those children need to be protected," he offered.
Social workers in both Johnston and Sampson counties told ABC11 Wednesday that they did agree to take the kids, but Trooper Thorpe moved faster than they could.
Both the state and local DSS officials say they're reviewing what happened.
Neither the children's father or stepmother were charged with abuse because officials couldn't determine exactly where the alleged took place, and therefore couldn't determine who had jurisdiction.
COMMENTS
Thank you Jack for doing the right thing for these two children.
No matter whos jurisdiction they were in, surely any good citizen should be commended for protecting children. Would the people who are doing the review be so bureaucratic if Jack had saved THEIR kids from further harm? I think not.
As long as we have folk like Jack, the world is a better place. Once again, thanks Jack, you are a hero.
Thank you Pagan.I feel the same way and it is unbelieveable that DSS is now attempting to persecute Jack for this.They also lied and said they were going to accept the kids.Thats what they say now,but I know Jack,he does things by the book most of the time.If he says they wouldnt take them,they said they wouldnt take them.so he took action.
All police officers should be like "Jack the Hero!" Everyone should be proud of this state trooper!
I am the head of an organization in my city for child abuse prevention. I just have to cry reading this story. Jack is a God send. I believe there are Angels that walk this earth. Jack is one of them.
On another note: I'd like to personally deal with anyone who mentally or physically hurts a child. The day of reckoning is coming for these low life scum!
well All I can say is thank the goddess for troopers like him , he still has his heart and was not going to let 2 little kids suffer because of a bunch of lazy DSS Officials , if your not doing anything there all over you but lord if you are in need of real help they can't bother to get off there ass,s to do anything, your brother is a real hero and he should be proud of him self and you should be too!!
What a big heart ypur brother has for helping out those children and thier mother. Not many people would have done this a big congrats to Jack
Wow, this is just disturbing, once again the State fucks up. Thank God for your brother hun, what a Godsend.
I wish there were more people in the world like your brother.. he deserves all the commendations he gets. You must be so proud of him :)
Yes,I really am proud of Jack.Thank you guys for all of the support here.And my mom would be too because this was how she was and raised all of us to be.She was an excellent mother.Wish she was still around.
This makes me proud to not only be a North Carolinian, but someone who is becoming a Law Enforcement Officer.
Your brother is a total star! Wish there was more like him in this world.
Good to know we still have Heros lol

He got me too, and 3 others that I know about.
I got almost the exact same comments as MDLIVE, too.
How sad.
Really weird if you ask me.When someone puts that much time into revenge on a website,thier messed up.
How about these:
you are a regular member and/or a newbie, you get rated low without any comment left, you become an admin you get rated high by the same members that rated you low before.
and:
you are an admin, you dislike a profile and rate it low, therefore the person revenge rates and call you a mean admin and big headed.
Then a regular member argues with an admin and downrates them with a big ass stamp: I rate fairly.
and: journal entry: I don't care about the rates.
later on: **** rated me a 1 bitch!!! why?
Should I lol?
Wow...You know what? Its looking like they might be breaking tos they seem to have alot of profiles.
Got me too........ and many others.
I dont doubt it.They didnt leave any kindof comment though.I see the accounts used are suspended until infinity.But what I would like to know is who is that higher ranking member that dd it?
"Bate" rating? Like in masturbate? :P
LOL.CM you would think of that.
I guess I got lucky
I guess you did girl.:) Ah well,I havent done what they are accusing everyone of so I really dont care at this point.They are only proving theirself an ass.As usual.
DNG where did you see those? Wow,you always find the best and ugliest from peeps.They didnt leave that in your journal did they? Same person who is on the rampage now? If so,now I know for sure they are out of wack..you are really kind.
Also,you know,evidently,this person has a real problem with anyone who has made it to a high level.They are accusing everyone of things that some arent even doing.Like myself for one.I guess they just say it to justify their vengance.I am thankful that I am not that person ..Iwould hate to have to live life with that colour of hate in my heart.
Whats weirder still is they really believe that a rate or a block will do something other than lower a level,but in fact,it wont change who I am.
I will be glad when y'all find out who this is.
These happened in the past not by these ones.
I won't dwell on the past but it is still annoying, especially because I've been here before the PM thus making it obvious that, there was some certain type of hate towards the newbies back at that time, funny thing is a 1 or 2 rating and a welcome comment, while nowadays many get a 10 just because it became a sort of 'I must' thing because they are going to see the rate, at the same time some fad about rating everyone low with a ".
... (that was a mistake) ''I rate fairly and use every number on the rate,'' comment.
Being accused of doing something you didn't sucks and I know.
I hate these: ''Admins are all assholes,'' written on profiles and journals.
You could encounter one or two, but don't make it an 'all' thing, same goes with those who spend their time writing rants in their journal about how 'all' of the site are crappy, but in the meantime they choose to stay here complaining instead of contributing to something positive to the site.
It's not because I'm part of the staff myself, I used to say the same even when I was a regular.
I once was also accused of suspending a portfolio when I don't even have that power.
If on VR you find weirdos though, on other sites you find worse.
Now I know there is something wrong with my brain.
I actually called someone a cornhead.
Wanted to call them a cornhole but was too embarrassed to say that so I said cornhead instead.
Cornhead.
What the hell is that?
I must be verrrry tired indeed.
COMMENTS
Maybe their head and hole are interchangable, so subconsciously you made the switch seamlessly.
LMAO!! I think you nailed that square on Captain.
HA!
I like cornhead, sort of cute lol
I know I have been neglectful in replying to some of my messages.Im not doing it isnt intentional,I promise.I have gotten so far behind as I can only get on for a few minutes at a time as of late that I am loosing them.My apologies.
hopefully I will be able to catch up soon.
COMMENTS
yeah, well we,ll let it pass this time , if it happens again though we might have to tie you down and use a feather on ya.
Ohhh noooo,such torture! I wouldnt ba able to stand it!
I have the same problem Oceanne.. Hope I haven't offended people either..
I almost hate to use my phone to get on here.Its little,time consuming and I cannot see to type worth a darn.But I guess I really shouldnt complain because I supoose it is better than not being able to get on at all.My point is that I am able to see messages..sortof,but replying is really hard.So sorry if I dont reply right away and if I do my replies are short and half baked...
COMMENTS
at least you are still here *hugs*
It sure makes journal entries difficult.
Very much so.But as BF said..at least Im here.:D
I know with my phone....it also means that my inbox has to be virtually empty for the page to load. But that is more my crudy phone's fault that VRs.
when something that looks or starts off bad turns into a good thing.Especially when all those involved are willing to listen and comprimise,working together to erradicate a problem.
I like it when that happens.:)
COMMENTS
Don't you just love when a plan comes together...gives you a warm fuzzy feeling
Me too :D
it is nice when everything works out good in the end.
its really sad when you have to get cruel to shut a person up.Especially when they start in a public venue and just go on and on simply because you talk about something that they assume is something you believe.I guess they really do not know me well enough to know that I dont talk about my beliefs in the forum.
I really hate having to do that...put the ugly truth iin front of their face.
I look at them and cannot help but to think about a small, yappy dog that doesnt know when to stop grabbing your heels and they just wont let go,because they have this thing in their mind that they are something...And they are going to prove it.So on and on they yap,never knowing they are about to get their head crushed.Not that I would crush a little dog's head and I like all dogs,even little ones.. but nonetheless.
COMMENTS
lol go girl
Sometimes I go on and on...then I stuff my mouth with my smelly socks and alls fine!
So THATS what I smell!!Jeeze Ban,you are supposed to put them in the hamper,not your mouth.
TP.Yeah ,I took her abuse just about long enough before I had to put an end to it.All because her and her boytoy wanted to act like shit in the forum and ruin it for everyone.
So PierdutxAngelus/ PurgatorialAngels2012 / XSystematicNeuralgiax
you are going to get shitty with me over a 9 rate? You changed your name..I dont give 10s to name changers.Plus as far as I am concerned,your profile is incomplete.
Sorry.
Stop bitching.Your rate went up after my rate.ALOT.
The way you are acting,only tells me that the reason you changed your name is because of your rates.
I have no use for you.T ake your nine and be thankful I dont give you a one.
COMMENTS
I have never changed my name, I started as Theban and I stay as Theban. To inflate my rates by name changing doesn't do it for me lol
I hear that Theban.And there has been a rash of these changers as of late.Its crapp.
Wow, shouldn't they just ask you for a re-rate?
I changed my name only once. I made sure to tell all of my friends first and finnish my profile. My name stays. :)
Oh,she did,and I went right away and was going to do it,but saw that I had given her a nine already.I doont go higher on profiles that keep changing their name because of rates or because they have treated people so badly that no one will rate them well anymore.Its dirty pool in my book and homey dont play that.I told her as nicely as I could that I dont give 10 for name changes...but she started getting nasty about it.The profile was well worth the 9 though,too bad her additude wasnt.
I really dont think I will ever have to worry about water weight down here.I must loose a gallon every hour outside..
And you will see me all over the place in that section.Some are sad,others speak of the things that happen in their day.Others still,post things that pretain to their research.Love,life,family.
And yes,then theres the drama.
Drama,drama,drama.
Some who perpetuate it.
Day after day,year after year.
Drama,drama,drama.
Same old bitter shit.
Same old bitter people.
Drama,drama and more drama.
They take it to a level which I really dont get.They never let things go,constantly bitching and ranting about others,even to the point of obsession.Its always the 'other's' fault isnt it? ALWAY the "others who act badly.But here they are Talking this,talking that..how tough they are and how they will chew you and spit you..
I would love to see them chew and spit if I came calling.LOL Big mouths on little people.
Give me a fucking break!
Seriously.
They do the VERY thing they accuse others of only they have taken it to another level.
Yet they refuse to shut their arrogant traps .
"Carry on!"
What? you picture yourself a queen of VR or some shit?
There is only one here who can actually say that and make it work ...and you arent QM.
Let go of your obsession already.You call the kettle black and we are laughing at you for it.see,your kettle is blacker than most dear...yes it is.
Haha carry the fuck on..
Yeah ,riggghht.
COMMENTS
Wow bloody hell that's what I call a rant!
HAHA yes,it was indeed Ban.I get sick of arrogant buttbitches belittleing everyone when they are just as bad if not worse than those they belittle..
It's all part of being human...unless some are lizards of course ^^
Its that forked tounge of hers..it gives her away.;)
I love this post Oceanne, more than you realize....and if I didn't know better..... ;)
I think this is a wonderful post. It's so very fitting.
Looks suprised~
I never thought I would see the day when a rant of mine was a good thing.But I just felt it had to be said.Her harrassment of others is relentless.
You go.
