"Carr’s profile on LinkedIn.com touts his experience as a law clerk at a federal correctional institute from 1996-2006, in which he supervised 21 employees. However, it does not mention that he was an inmate at the time. He was released from prison on Jan. 22, 2009."

... and thats just the beginning.

i was expecting this to be about an african american man, until I read that he served prison time.

Looks like he took advantage of the Warden's "Inside-Out" campaign

"Of course, one should note that the preceding comment (lenseyemover) appears to be that of Lent Carr II (at least given the moniker's previous posts on the Raleigh Taxicab Drivers threaten strike story (in which lenseyemover identifies himself as Carr). Something to consider when considering the preceding 3rd person defense/support of Carr. tceawvzwvpev June 2, 2011 4:31 p.m. You know BrightLight; I've been thinking since this story first aired, maybe, just maybe we need to re-access what this guy brings to the collective bargaining table of ideas since he has a niche in the law. He's obviously no fool and knows how to get things done in the community with or without the support of current sitting ducks'(City Council) blessings or ratifications. If one look at his issue platform @ https://sites.google.com/site/votelentcarrcitycouncil2011/platform?pli=1#TOC-Government-of-the-people-for-the-pe some of the issues he espouses are quite radical in the sense of being "action based" and "solution oriented." I don't know, maybe if we look beyond our political correctness and prejudices for ex-felons we may find that some of them may be an asset to our community in bringing fresh vision from life's experiences. I don't know, but something is definitely appealing in this particular politician. lenseyemover "

"Carr "just dropped the ball" on meeting with the parole officer and mental health counselor, Umstead said, noting that Carr also has health problems, including a personality disorder."

He's a bit off and out of treatment apparently.

its ok, lets aim for hope and change...

8/11/2011 10:59:13 PM

There's a couple of folks in Washington I think have personality disorders. If it's good enough for Washington, it should be good enough for us!

"A federal prosecutor noted that Carr bit the boy during the altercation."

Quote :

"Prosecutors expressed concerns that Carr has been soliciting donations to his campaign by misrepresenting himself to the public. They said it was clear that the probation office could not help him any further. Cherie Poucher, executive director of the Wake County Board of Elections, said Carr's name would remain on the ballot unless a voter in District C files a complaint with the board within 10 days."

He's a step ahead of Michelle Bachmann, who thinks the Renaissance was evil.
