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!”

    Laughing Hyena

    Setting aside the racism there, what exactly is the right’s obsession with Kamala’s laugh? I’ve heard “Cackling” as well.

    Should I be inspired to hear that lord and savior Donald Trump never ever laughs - assuming that’s even true?

      They believe anything that isn’t “tough” or “manly” is weakness. They’re just pathetic and unbelievably insecure

      Laughing Hyena

      That’s racism and misogyny, all bundled up into two words. The cackling thing is what they say when they think a woman isn’t meek enough. They especially say it about women in positions of power, particularly if they have the nerve to look happy.

        The discomfort towards having women in positions of power goes back to the bronze-age morality of the bible. It’s the same reason the traditional churches don’t allow women to head the church or preach: they believe woman let the devil tempt and deceive them, and then they went and “caused man to sin”. Then Paul came along and made sure women were put in their place in the New Testament.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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 to get on the ballot, like a 4 year degree or equivalent experience in a related field, a neutral third party 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 them to 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.

      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.

        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.

        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.

      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…
