Ohio sheriff condemned for saying people with Harris yard signs should have their addresses recorded
An Ohio sheriff is under fire for a social media post in which he said people with Kamala Harris yard signs should have their addresses recorded so that immigrants can be sent to live with them if Harris wins.
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!”
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.
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?
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.”
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
This redditor claims his department is also harassing people after doubling down.
Will I be banned for posting his address? He is a public employee so it's publicly available data
Please tell me “condemned” is new slang for fired.
Nope, he'll probably be re-elected by a landslide
The most depressing thing about the last 9 years or so, apart from climate doom, is discovering that fascism turns out to be extremely popular.
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;
(c) 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.
(C) 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!
Is it illegal to just leave one in his yard that mysteriously replaced itself?
Genocide types like this absolutely have cameras watching their yards
Only if you get caught
Fascist piece of shit. Also, I hate this fucking ridiculous argument they take up - that people that support immigration have to put them up in their houses, personally? WTAF?
I'll accept that if people who vote against abortion access are banned from having them
No. Voting against abortion means they must now house, feed, and maintain legal responsibility for all children who would have been aborted, through adulthood.
in my experience police do not like it when you dox them
it is especially true with secret police and ex police
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.
THIS is ONLY Terrorism when DEMOCRATS do it! But I'm a REPUBLICAN so this is OK!
Oohhh... Condemned... Absolutely no teeth
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
At least it wasn't "slammed".
The next journalist to use that word will be slammed against a wall
Someone should write down his address and fill his yard with shit
Send all white homeless Americans there.
ohio democrats, here's what you do: buy guns.
Found the gun manufacturer!
Isn't the answer to all problems just more guns?
in 21st century fascist, eco-dystopia america? yes.
Maybe we should all record his address...
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.
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?
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 particularly say it about women in positions of power, especially 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.
They believe anything that isn't "tough" or "manly" is weakness. They're just pathetic and unbelievably insecure
Time to inject noise in this database and put H signs everywhere at random
Abuse of office for political reasons. There should be a law to kick his sorry ass for this.
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.
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.

Sheriff is being voted on this year. Time to vote for the other guy.
Turnabout is fair play, is it not?
