Ohio sheriff condemned for saying people with Harris yard signs should have their addresses recorded - Lemmy.ca

>Likening people in the U.S. illegally to “human locusts,” Zuchowski wrote on a personal Facebook account and his campaign’s account: “When people ask me… What’s gonna happen if the Flip-Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins?? I say … write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards!” That way, Zuchowski continued, when migrants need places to live, “we’ll already have the addresses of their New families … who supported their arrival!”

Oh SMCF, darling, could you please come up with something more original, and while you’re at it could you make it grammatical, and maybe it could even scan and rhyme? This quotation only sticks in the mind because it’s like the most irritating commercial jingle. Might as well be Only Daisy cottage cheese will do, Satisfying and fresh, so creamy and delish…

Amazing how you managed to say nothing valuable with so many words, yet still made it clear you don’t know what yours talking about.

Commercial jingle? Cottage cheese? Where the fuck do you think that quote is from or what it is referencing?

Fuck you, I won’t do what you told me! Motherfucker! Ugh!

Oh so worth repeating and repeating and repeating

Are you okay?
Just quoting the source. That quotation is from a very repetitive song, that’s the last line

They are very clearly quoting lyrics from the Rage against the machine song killing in the name of.

But if you were born after 2005 I can comprehend how that reference is missed.

Kids these days are out of touch.

GET OFF MY LAWN!

This might be the single strangest comment I’ve ever read
It’s just the end of the song the original quotation is from.
I am so tired of that stupid line from that stupid repetitive song. Yes I get that the LAPD is rooted in the KKK, I lived in the Rampart District during its infamous era. But there’s been so many better words written about fascist cops, so why does someone have to necromance this stupid lyric every time?

FTFY

I think this terrorist cop needs to spend some time in the state penitentiary
he won’t. it’s up to us to punish conservatives.
i am disappointed that the photo is not accompanied by the address.

I’m not interested in doxxing anybody, because I don’t believe in terrorism.

But I do think this sheriff would feel very differently about having his home address tracked and shared.

He could literally be any one of the “Bruce Zuchowski”'s listed on the Inerwebs as living in Portage county Ohio.

There’s just no way to know!

Yeah, an equivalent response would be for a government figure to tell the public to record these judges addresses for making the decision to call it a non threat. Which of course would be threatening.
no one is going to magically show up to save humanity because you took the high road. pacifism only makes them stronger.
I’m not opposed to violence, especially when defending against fascism. But terrorism is the last bastion of desperate people. You don’t respond to terrorism with terrorism, not to take the high road but because it is ineffective.
THIS is ONLY Terrorism when DEMOCRATS do it! But I’m a REPUBLICAN so this is OK!
Condemned? Arrested.

If only

The Ohio secretary of state’s office said it did not plan to take any action. “Our office has determined the sheriff’s comments don’t violate election laws,” said Dan Lusheck, a spokesperson for Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose. “Elected officials are accountable to their constituents, and the sheriff can answer for himself about the substance of his remarks.”

Apparently threats and intimidation don’t count as long as elections are involved.

Apparently threats and intimidation don’t no laws at all count as long as elections are involved.

it’s really time we stopped marveling at humanity’s slide into dystopia and do something about it, don’t you agree?
What a chickenshit response.
Great, so it’s up to people of good conscience to spend their time organizing to raise money and awareness in order to try and hold this sheriff accountable for voter intimidation. Instead of, you know, law enforcement. Wonderful system.

This redditor claims his department is also harassing people after doubling down.

Ohio sherif announces he is a fascist

news at 11.

that’s the joke. nobody cares and it’s just another headline. hilarious, right?

even if we beat them at the polls, they’ll be back next week with some new dumb shit. there’s only one solution for conservatism.

Ohio revised Code Section 2909.23 - Making terroristic threat

(A) No person shall threaten to commit or threaten to cause to be committed a specified offense when both of the following apply:

(1) The person makes the threat with purpose to do any of the following:

(a) Intimidate or coerce a civilian population;

(b) Influence the policy of any government by intimidation or coercion;

© Affect the conduct of any government by the threat or by the specified offense.

(2) As a result of the threat, the person causes a reasonable expectation or fear of the imminent commission of the specified offense.

(B) It is not a defense to a charge of a violation of this section that the defendant did not have the intent or capability to commit the threatened specified offense or that the threat was not made to a person who was a subject of the threatened specified offense.

© Whoever violates this section is guilty of making a terroristic threat, a felony of the third degree. Section 2909.25 of the Revised Code applies regarding an offender who is convicted of or pleads guilty to a violation of this section.

R.C. §2909.23

. . . just sayin’.

Rules for thee, not for me!
What are the specified offenses though?

I think recording anyones address for their first amendment protected display of their chosen candidate is radical.

Sounds like some republucan *may be paying them to favor them over the damacratic party.

But if they feel this way naturally it clearly shows a bias if anything.

For both law enforcement and magas I see the same thing over and over –

What? People think we’re awful? Those people don’t know us. By the way, I’m just gonna be over here being awful.

This guy managed to do it for both aspects of his personality.

Mommy, why is that awful man like that?
Because he chose to work in law enforcement, and to turn off his brain. Not necessarily in that order Bobby, not necessarily in that order…
Turnabout is fair play, is it not?
Hmmm, article doesn’t even say what he’s being condemned to, just that some people are pissed, which seems pretty irrelevant to the condemnation.

And this is why popular vote may not be a good way of choosing a sheriff. It produces some truly awful pick me candidates who are more interested in political power and grandstanding than serving their office.

Without a strong code of ethics backed up by the law people can get away with a lot of bullshit.

This guy should resign and if not then disbarred for his conduct. It boggles my mind that elected officials have no oversight. Instead he will probably face no repercussions for othering people and denigrating his office.

I like it being an elected position, rather than the police or local government appointing someone. That way if someone is egregiously against the grain of their community the community can act.

However, like so many elected positions, there should be real minimum qualifications, like a 4 year degree or equivalent experience in a related field, a psych eval, etc.

Honestly I would prefer it be an appointment but every election there should be a confidence vote where if at least 50% of people don’t approve of them they get barred from office

That is an interesting proposal. I think we should spend a lot more time kicking around alternatives and then trying them out.

Surely the people who want these positions of power are rarely the ones that should have them.

I don’t buy that whole trope about how the people that deserve power are the people that don’t want it. That may be true for such a person at first, but if they’re the sort of good person who can recognize policy failures and offer popular solutions, at a certain point it becomes you fight against those policy failures. And if that person recognizes that public office is the best way to do it, wanting to run for office would be a perfectly natural desire.

For sure, I mean I get what you are saying.

You can’t deny that powerful positions attract bad actors though. How we deal with that is probably more important than sweeping generalizations like the one I made.

he won’t resign and they will keep electing idiots like him. THEY are the problem, not the idiots that THEY vote in. the solutions are simple.
Oohhh… Condemned… Absolutely no teeth
At least it wasn’t “slammed”.
The next journalist to use that word will be slammed against a wall
The entire sheriff’s office got removed from providing security at a voting event. It’s not actual election day stuff, at least not yet. But the city did send a message
Anyone else feel like we’ve returned to some era where people in positions of power no longer get punished? What the hap is fuckening?
We never really left that era, they were just good at hiding it for a while.
