This is fair warning to all. If you work with Blake, Rick, or QL, and you don’t do EXACTLY what they want, they will attack you and make your life miserable.They are so blinded by their own self righteousness that they cannot see how hateful and vindictive they have become.Their presence on the scene has cause far more... harm than any good they have done. They are truly a cancer on our community and I pray for the nightmare of QL to end. -Josh MenderhoesenRead More

I went to the Chief's photo Opt., Fairness Fort Worth did not agree with the insufficient punishment of the three officers. Suspension does not match the crime. Thank you FFW,it's nice to know we are all on the same page. Bud Kennedy with the FWST asked a question about Sgt Morris whom lead the raid to Chief Halstead, ...something like "Chief are you aware that Sgt Morris came back to the Rainbow Lounge to Preach to the Patrons/staff about their gay lifestyle ". I believe this may be why Rainbow Lounge was selected. Sgt. Richard Morris, formerly a Methodist minister now working as an officer with the Fort Worth Police Department. If he is the one, Id like to ask him if he believes GLBT are sinners and deserve punishment.Read More
