In my old neighborhood they used to say:
“Snitches and Talkers get Stitches and Walkers”

And that same fate is coming to Sheila Alu. Even if her intentions were good, snitches always end up alone and broke. That’s the reward for snitchery. It’s human nature. And hey, I’m glad they’re catching the bad people, put them all away as far as I’m concerned. But nobody likes a snitch, and it’s just human nature to avoid such people.

The real Elliott Ness died alone and broke. He shot his wad with the Capone affair and was no longer needed or particularly wanted. Elliott Ness of the Untouchables was pure fantasy.

Beth the Bounty Hunter: Not entirely true. There are those that think they are or want to be “crime-fighters” and who are in a position to do so. Your skepticism sounds more like your concern regarding her other conduct belies the veracity that she is “Elliot Ness” on the dias as well as her stated motivation. Only time will tell I guess.

I agree totally with snitch….the only reason cooperate is for them to not be prosecuted.

Why did Alu try to open the trash bid? Hmmm because maybe she had a lobbiest friend who wanted to bring another trash hauler in? Come on, this she is out for the public good act is wearing thin. Shelia plays for Shelia. Wasnt Shelia the one who waited almost a year to bring out her allegation against Gardiner? If someone is so out to snuff out corruption why did she wait so long to come forward? If she is out to clean up corruption why did she do the deal with Michaelson? What cleaning up of public corruption was involved when she dropped the ball on a DUI case and had a temper tantrum in open Court and quitting her job?

She made choices,maybe some of those choices brought about some good, but if you think the decisions to make those choices were anything but for the betterment of Shelia you are sadly mistaken.

Lest anyone think she is purely altruisitic in her “crime-fighting” cause and can put aside her own aspirations and ego (she loves to say at Commission meetings “she puts people in jail”, a strange comment for a juvenile prosecutor but it certainly makes more sense that perhaps she meant “I wear wires”), watch a series of Commission meetings. Some of the things she says and does on the dias are alarming and disturbing. Many a folk have turned to a neighbor and expressed shock after listening to her unfiltered comments. Far from an example of well-behaved government official on the dias. And, make no mistake, it appears she can play the game of politics in Sunrise with the best of them — making and breaking coalitions when it suits her. Watch for the “Judge Alu” show or some other talk show project. All that said, good ruidance to those who abuse the public trust.

Two things about Alu. Now that everybody knows she’s been wired for the FBI, she’s basically a non entity in Broward politics. Nobody will get within 10 feet of her. And now that she’s been outed, the FBI won’t need her either.

Snitch was the other word you were looking for Buddy. Most civilians that wear a wire for the FBI are forced to do that, if you get my drift. I find it fascinating that the FBI is now recruiting “honest” elected officials to help them with cases.

If you’re an honest elected official, desiring to make some FBI pay on the side for wearing a wire when in the presence of other elected officials, to whom should you send a resume?
