Greene supporters engage in profanity-laced tirades against Union Parish DA John Belton culminating in Crump’s “Silky Slim” telling us, “I don’t want to be on your fucking camera!”

Arthur “Silky Slim” Reed, investigator and paralegal for prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump.

First, here’s the bottom line on the plea agreement reached between former LSP Trooper Kory York and the Union Parish District Attorney’s office yesterday in court in Farmerville [at which York pleaded no contest to eight (8) counts of misdemeanor simple battery as part of an amended indictment]:

York received:

— Time served which, contrary to one initial erroneous feature from a major newspaper in this state, was not “six months.”  York served no time whatsoever; however, informed sources tell us that it is Judge Rogers’ practice when imposing both misdemeanor sentences and felony sentences to utter the words, “with credit for time served,” irrespective of whether any time was served which, in this case, there was not.

— $1,000 fine plus court costs,

— 160 hours community service,

— One year supervised probation.

There is also one other major media report for which there is a clear discrepancy between what has been reported, which is that York agreed to testify against the lone Defendant remaining in the criminal case, Union Parish Sheriff Deputy Chris Harpin, and York’s contention to the contrary.

What was published is that York would in fact testify against Harpin; however, York defense attorney, J. Michael Small, has reached out to at least one media outlet, KALB TV in Alexandria (the city in which Small resides), and made the following statement:

Mr. York has not agreed to testify against anyone in connection with the disposition of his case.  I’d be very surprised if the state subpoenaed him as a witness.  His no contest plea today is not admissible against him in the pending civil suit.

So, we obviously feel the mainstream media has been a tad derelict in its reporting of yesterday’s happenings.  We do trust, however, that the reporting on York testifying was based on a solid source (which in our minds at least can only be District Attorney John Belton); however, it’s obvious that whomever the source was in providing the justification for publishing the contention that York would testify against Harpin obviously was not further substantiated by York attorney J. Michael Small.

Small also emphasized that York’s no contest plea cannot be used against him in the eventual civil trial entailing Greene.

We further fault that mainstream media for not providing any specifics whatsoever entailing what the friends, family, and supporters of Ronald Greene had to say in the aftermath of the Court proceeding.

We are remedying that shortcoming by way of this feature, which is also the reason we traveled to Farmerville to cover the matter.

First, the family made it known that they are pleased to have prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump’s paralegal, Arthur “Silky Slim” Reed as part of their civil litigation team.

As we have previously made known on October 1, 2023 in this feature. we strongly disagree with the Greene family’s decision to retain Crump and, by default, Reed.

We assume Reed saw the preceding-linked feature because, as the battery on Burns’ camera had a tad over a minute left, Burns began a final 360-degree panning of the audience attending the Greene supporters’ statements.

It was at the conclusion of that panning that Reed made his sentiments known that he didn’t want to be on our camera.  His acts, as will be depicted in a video soon, included both blocking the camera with his hand (after which he literally grabbed the camera) and uttering, “I don’t want to be on your fucking camera!”

Once Burns was able to manage to free the camera from Reed’s grasp, he (Burns) closed the lens, after which he stated directly to Reed:  “Sir, you have a good day,” and he departed the event.

Let’s provide video of Greene’s sister, Dinelle Hardin, calling upon Reed to come forward to be recognized, followed by that approximate one-minute panning of the audience culminating with Reed uttering his profanity directly at Burns:

 10/28/24:  Crump investigator and paralegal Arthur “Silky Slim” Reed, after having been called forward by Dinelle Hardin, brought Sound Off Louisiana coverage of the post-court-hearing remarks to a close by grabbing Burns’ camera and stating, “I don’t want to be on your fucking camera!”

We are about to present three (3) more videos featuring Crump investigator and paralegal Reed since it was he who openly condoned the killing of four (4) Baton Rouge police officers, three of whom died instantly and a fourth, Nick Tullier, who lingered in a Houston hospital paralyzed for years before finally ultimately dying on May 5, 2022.

Reed openly condoned those murders when he emphatically uttered, “justice came when Gavin Long came,” on the first video below.   It was Long who made his way down to Baton Rouge from Kansas City, Missouri and ambushed the Baton Rouge Police Officers (one of whom was black) on July 17, 2016.   The three (3) videos follow:

 July, 2017 East Baton Rouge Parish Council Meeting during which Reed (early on the video) uttered the phrase, “Justice came when Gavin Long came!”

 Reed, in demanding the resignation of former EBRP Mayor-President Melven “Kip” Holden, curses the very God he claims he now serves after having become a Christian upon release from his prison sentence.  Obvioulsy, Holden let Reed’s admonition go in one ear and out the other, and he completed his third term as EBRP Mayor-President.

 Reed is escorted from the 8/10/17 EBRP Council Chambers and engages in repeated profanity both as being escorted out and for an extended period thereafter.

We’ve previously stated our sentiments on the Reed matter, so we’ll let our site visitors assess his role as part of the Plaintiff team in the civil matter of Ronald Greene.

At yesterday’s proceedings outside of court, Union Parish District Attorney John Belton came under extremely heavy condemnation, and several instances of profanity transpired during the Greene supporters’ commentary on Belton.  We have isolated clips of their sentiments toward Belton, and here’s that video:

10/28/24:  Ronald Greene supporters engage in tirades against Union Parish DA John Belton (Caution:  Video content has repeated instances of profanity).

Also at yesterday’s proceedings, Greene supporters, friends, and family made it clear just how racist they believe that the residents of Farmerville and Union Parish are.  Here’s that video:

 10/28/24:  Ronald Greene’s family, friends, and supporters state their reasons for asserting that Farmerville, Louisiana and Union Parish are “racist.”

Finally, since Reed pulled his stunt and we could not get a formal “wrap” of the proceeding, let us present Ms. Mona Hardin’s initial statements about what she claims happened with DA Belton as our improvising way of providing a “wrap.”  Here’s that video:

 10/28/24:  Mona Hardin, Ronald Greene’s mother, states what she claims transpired during the timeframe of the negotiation of the plea deal which York formally entered into.

CLICK HERE for the friends, family, and supporters’ comments in their entirety (at least until Reed pulled his stunt)!

Hopefully, this feature provides considerably more prospective than the mainstream media supplied on just what all transpired at yesterday’s gathering outside the Courthouse after the entering of the plea deal by York.

We hope everyone has an enjoyable upcoming week to include the November 5, 2024 election because, by way of this final paragraph, we are letting everyone know that we’re taking about 8-9 days off (at a minimum)!
