Pics | Venus Varsity Cheerleader's Underage Drinking Parties

UPDATE 1: According to comments posted on The Ellis County Observer, the cheerleader in question has been punished for the photos appearing on the Web site.

UPDATE 2: There is a video interview that Brannon Bridge and I conducted that will be uploaded to YouTube later tonight. Stay tuned, as it details more explosive information and allegations that this blog entry does not get into.

I warned you people not to screw with my friends, and now, I have to resort to the stuff you folks out in Western Ellis County didn't want to have published. Lori Walkup has had 17 Venus police calls to her house in less than five years, but only one ticket -- for allegedly flipping off her across-the-street neighbor, Mandy Thomasson (pictured below in a pink nightie.) Most of those calls were generated by this across-the-street psychopath. This psychopath is seen, has been seen and thanks to Brannon Bridge's Flipcam, has been videotaped staring straight at Walkup's house from her front yard. All the time. Day and night. Late at night. Early in the morning. Lori Walkup and her twin boys cannot even so much as go outside without some Venus squad car pulling up at her house.

No more Mr. Nice Newspaper. The moral of this story is: treat everyone as equals. If we're doing wrong, call us out on it. If you're in power, or close to those who are, and continue to get away with hypocrisy...then you are subjecting yourself and your family to this type of public humiliation. These photos and content provided exclusively by The Venus Voice and The Ellis County Observer:

Thomasson's daughter, Bailey Jean, is the one with red hair. These photos were obtained using legal methods, i.e., they were posted on a social networking site in full view of the public.

I personally favor making changes to the law to allow 18-year-olds to drink. But, that's not the law now. It's also against the law to provide beer and alcohol to underage people. THe only thing I have a problem with in this arrangement is that it's purely hypocritical for the City of Venus to harass and intimidate one woman (Lori Walkup) for speaking out against the establishment, but turn a blind eye towards garbage like this psychopath neighbor. Don't forget, ladies and gentlemen, the people you screw could end up being my friend, and it's obvious from 10 years of newspapers and blogs that I stick up for people who don't have a voice or a hedge of protection.

I guess we are to go along to get along with the people who run Venus ISD and their kids threatening disciplinary action over false allegations. This one in particular involved Lori Walkup's middle school-aged son. He was accused of stealing an iPhone and later assaulted for it. Venus Councilman Randall Buck is the Venus Middle School principal who did nothing on this. The sender of this e-mail is the daughter of high school principal Derek Driver and Venus Primary School principal Jennifer Driver:

I'M DEAD SERIOUS YOU'D BETTER BE READY FOR SCHOOL TOMORROW, 'CUZ YOUR ABOUT TO NOT HAVE AN iPHONE ANYMORE. JUST BRING IT TOMORROW AND THE CHARGES AND EVREYTHING WILL BE DROPPED, BUT THERE BETTER BE NOTHING WRONG WITH IT! GIVE IT TO GRAYSON OR ME BY THIS FRIDAY OR IT WILL BE TRACKED!

Grayson Gibbons is the one that shoved Ashton into a locker on that Friday, May 14, 2010 over the iPhone and Randall Buck
