Well… you have to understand that “senility” starts to creep in after the age of 54…
I say that because I’m 54, and I’m starting to laugh at things now that I use to not laugh at.
Like this story.

Being this is a government offical who has to tolarate this
racism, where is the state of federal government investigation as to this officals civil rights to hold public office. If nazism is visible in the community and terrorist
threats have been made this is against the law whatever
the population of the community is. I understand the fear
of the mayor but I feel he should have been stronger, I know
he’s no Medgar Evers or Martin Luther King niether should
he attempt to be, but we cannot let these criminals cont-
inue to threaten black government officals they must be
found and incarcerated. Don’t they realize between the
jews, cathloics,blacks, hispanics and gays they are out numbered.

All I have to say is I am truly sorry for those in this country who are so immature, self-centered and truly dangerous. (even to themselves), they need removed completely from society. This man and his family does not deserve this treatment. My heart goes out to them.

How do you know that it is true that he has been threatened?
There are plenty of idiots in positions of authority that shouldn’t be there… hell, we just got rid of one… think of George Bush.
Bush could have cried racism… but in his case he knew that it would not have worked.
Yes I’m a black guy… I just don’t like idiots no matter what race they are… yes, racist are idiots. But idiots are idiots too.

I feel it was wrong for the mayor to step aside due to racists threats. All should have beeen done to weed out these cowards and persecute them to the full extent of the law. We as members of the human race cannot let these blind idiots decide what is right for humanity as a whole. It’s time for people to stand up and say no more!!!

GOOD! Even though I haven’t the courage to take the necessary action that results in real change, those who do should be commended. If there were more instances such as this against illegal immigrants, we wouldn’t have an immigration problem. The same could be said for Jews and other left/wing cultural marxist as well. True revolution and resistance will eventually require force and violence.

This is a reason why I disagree with a policy that the ACLU has supported, namely that a person can publicly preach hatred of people because of their race, religion, nationality or even area from which they come. We should have learned at least that lesson from World War II which caused the deaths of more than 60 million people. We can excuse no haters. These individuals should be arrested and at least fined and if it’s concluded that they’re imminent dangers to others, they should be jailed and an attempt should be made to reeducate them. We have no shortage of haters — those who hate African-Americans, Jews, Moslems, Latin-Americans, Asians — the list goes on. Before the Haters make the rest of us healthy people hate them, they must be stopped.
