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!”
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.
This redditor claims his department is also harassing people after doubling down.
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'.
in my experience police do not like it when you dox them
it is especially true with secret police and ex police
Time to inject noise in this database and put H signs everywhere at random
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.
Abuse of office for political reasons. There should be a law to kick his sorry ass for this.
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?
