Private and Public Imminent Demand by James Pate Williams, Jr., BA, BS, MSwE, PhD

I preface these remarks with the fact I believe in many public imminent demands if there is a Fair Market Value (FMV) for the property, and the demand is good for the community, especially the taxpayers. There are cases that I do not agree with the private sector imminent domain that seems to side with small businessperson regarding who may or may not be served by the small business.

I have been denied service by the following LaGrange, Georgia businesses:

  1. International House of Pancakes
  2. Lafayette Arms Motel
  3. Gus’ Grill
  4. Walmart Super-center
  5. Krystal
  6. Planet Fitness
  7. Town Fitness
  8. Dixie Donuts

The reason for these expulsions revolves around my mental illness. Sometimes in the past I have gone off my medication and thus tended to spiral into an abnormal manic and obnoxious state. The local, state, and federal governments have not given me equal protection under the applicable anti-discrimination legislation. The governments’ way of dealing with me is locking me away in isolation with forced medication. The Georgia Gulag Archipelago (my term for the now mainly forensic state hospitals) are very terrifying and dangerous environments. The local county jails in Georgia seem to be largely discriminatory against the mentally ill. I have recently been locked away first in the Troup County Jail for 30 days then Pathways defunct Second Season for 127 days and then back to jail for 40 days all in the calendar year of 2019. I was released to pay a hefty fine and serve a long probationary period.

What hurts even more is the fact that the church I faithfully volunteered at for over two years can find no more voluntary work for me to perform. I have become a Persona Non Grata at the First United Methodist Church of LaGrange, Georgia.

My whole legal name is James Pate Williams, Jr. I was born in LaGrange, Georgia approximately 70 years ago. I barely graduated from LaGrange High School with low marks in June 1971. Later in June 1979, I graduated from LaGrange College with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with a little over a 3 out 4 Grade Point Average (GPA). In the Spring Quarter of 1978, I taught myself how to program a Texas Instruments desktop programmable calculator and in the Summer Quarter of 1978 I taught myself Dayton BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) on LaGrange College's Data General Eclipse minicomputer. I took courses in BASIC in the Fall Quarter of 1978 and FORTRAN IV (Formula Translator IV) in the Winter Quarter of 1979. Professor Kenneth Cooper, a genius poly-scientist taught me a course in the Intel 8085 microprocessor architecture and assembly and machine language. We would hand assemble our programs and insert the resulting machine code into our crude wooden box computer which was designed and built by Professor Cooper. From 1990 to 1994 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from LaGrange College. I had a 4 out of 4 GPA in the period 1990 to 1994. I took courses in C, COBOL, and Pascal during my BS work. After graduating from LaGrange College a second time in May 1994, I taught myself C++. In December 1995, I started using the Internet and taught myself client-server programming. I created a website in 1997 which had C and C# implementations of algorithms from the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Alfred J. Menezes, et. al., and some other cryptography and number theory textbooks and treatises.
