3rd-4th generation monthers. Yes that would be the ones..The process is as follows..
This generations "monther" makes child do badly in school so they get labeled "special needs" Then signs child up on SSI. Kids quits HS.When they turn 18 SSI is cut off but since they were special needs and have never worked or finished school they get SSi again.Now this 2nd generation "monther" has plenty of their own kids.Repeat process as nessasary.All the while getting large ammounts of food stamps and free medical care..
Now lets no confuse working folks who have worked all their lives, been hurt and recieve social security disability benifits..They have had to work and paided in for a long period of time to even quailify for benifits(which are not the same as SSI and dosnt have the free medical etc..).Which of course a monther would have never done in the first place..
Have a close family member who works for the state and deals with this all the time..
Ive never had a problem with people getting benifits that need it, but our system is broken and easily manipulated..

Would that be the honery, leeches on society that would not work in a pie factory, lookin for that free ride. Those the ones you're talking about?

I recently watched the disturbing movie, The Wild And Wonderful Whites of West Virginia, and I recall one of the family's lowlife women explaining that she draws an SSI check because she is crazy. The narrator asked her if she was crazy and her response was, "I am crazy because I want to be." I think that attitude pretty well sums up many of Mr. Con's clients.

If anybody is curious about the kind of people who have elevated ambulance chasing lawyers of Appalachia to the ranks of the rich and famous, just watch the documentary about the White family of Boone County, WV. It is available on Netflix if you have a subscription.

From his website:

Conn, a graduate of Betsy Layne High School and Morehead State University

A stint with the U.S. Army helped pay for his education, which included Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law.
So now you're telling me that Ohio Northern University Petit College is an Ivy League School? Nice try.

He followed that up with a "program of instruction for lawyers" at Harvard Law School.

By the way. That program of instruction for lawyers? It's a 1-5 day course that anybody can take. Take a look.

Thanks for the big effort though "hero". Good to see that you are just one of the idiots who believes everything you are told by this douche.

Whatever you say there Mr. Dickhead.

That movie is a little out-of-control lol

That movie is a little out-of-control lol

It would be hard to make a movie about the Whites that was in control. :biggrin:

One of the most disturbing parts of the movie to me was when the public defender blamed coal companies for outlaws like the White family. Never mind that there are thousands of hard working people living in the West Virginia coal fields who do not defraud the government, sell and snort prescription drugs, or shoot people's faces off...King Coal made Jessco White into an outlaw.

I have never seen the appeal of Jesco White and the other inbreds in his family. It makes me wonder what kind of people he appeals to. I watched one video on youtube and thought they were stupid, ignorant and boring. If you had to deal with people like this on a daily basis like me, you wouldn't want to watch them for recreation.

I didn't watch the movie for recreation. I watched it to affirm what I already knew. Our social welfare system is destroying our society from within and has perhaps hit central Appalachian families harder than anybody else. There are few good jobs in the mountains of West Virginia and Kentucky and following the passage of LBJ's "Great Society" programs, people have increasingly turned to drugs (use and trafficking) and bogus disability claims to support themselves instead of moving where better jobs were available.

People like Jessco White live throughout eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia (and other areas as well). Jessco White just happen to have been made semi-famous by the same folks who brought us the equally stupid Jackass TV show.

Nobody should have to deal with people like Jessco White every day. The Jessco Whites of this world should be working on prison chain gangs cleaning up the environment that their sorry lives have polluted.

:Thumbs: Actually the Jackass generation is who he appeals to. They can sit for hours and watch people hit each other in the privates and s#$@ on each other. The show is titled for a reason. It is for people with the intelligence of a Jackass.

Lol "he never left"

Does anybody know the story behind this? I'm reminded that "he never left"by the 11 billboards between my drive from Morehead to Inez everyday.

I'm also going to say "Love Him or Hate Him, he gets the job done.
