Three days into the election
season and Windcrest already has DRAMA!! After only 2 whole days the nonsense
has begun. It seems by Wednesday Mrs. Jacobi had enough of the strained
armistice so she lobbed her bombshell. The background concerning Mrs. Jacobi
and last year’s election is important to explain what happened at the poll
yesterday.
At about 4:00pm while this
gentleman was standing in the parking lot of Takas Park the sheriff on duty
approached him and was conducting a civil and seemingly calm conversation. At
no time did BCSO appear threatened If she had, I am sure she would have called
for help. Dan Reese was recording the interview at the request of the gentleman
being questioned and with the expressed permission of the BCSO. During the
interview The WPD officers responded, “Code 3” (as they should have to a report
of an officer in trouble but that response increases the potential for
accidents do to the speed involved). It became apparent that the Bexar County
Officer was not in distress, and she had the entire situation under control.
Additionally, since there were 4 WPD officers who responded, Windcrest was left
without police for a time due to a false 911 call. There was an incident that
was similar last year when Jake Jacobi called the police to the Reese Home when
they were not needed. Additionally, after the fact, it was reported that the
BCSO dealt with the entire matter in a very professional and respectful manner.
One must wonder why a call was made to Windcrest PD relaying false information.
That is not the only problem with
this whole situation. What caused the mayhem yesterday? Well that one we can
answer. It seems that, yesterday, more than a year after the initial incident,
Mrs. Jacobi went to an attorney and signed an affidavit stating she was “in
fear for her safety”. She alleged no current incident on which to base this
fear. Her only complaint was the alleged assault from last year. Here is the
rub … On September 22, 2017 in a Herald article concerning the decision to move
the election from Takas Park to a public school right down the street, Mrs.
Jacobi was quoted as saying, “despite the incident that she feels safe at the
park and wants polling to remain there”
If history is
any indication the antics at Takas Park have only begun. It seems like those
folks clad in black and white, sporting their black and white signs, really
LOVE the shades of gray!!!
