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!”
ohio democrats, here’s what you do: buy guns.
Will I be banned for posting his address? He is a public employee so it’s publicly available data
I say do it.
along with his salary
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
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.
Is it illegal to just leave one in his yard that mysteriously replaced itself?
Genocide types like this absolutely have cameras watching their yards
Yes.
But like, how illegal?
Trespassing, possibly vandalism.
But this is the fucker who would shoot first no matter what, so probably not a great idea.
If there’s a sidewalk strip in front of his house, that would be be public property. I’d love to see a half dozen people, masked, with 3 signs apiece descend on his address while he’s at work, pop those things in quickly, and zip away. Bonus points for signage that will especially annoy him, e.g. “Sheriff Whatsy Endorses Kamala for President.”
You’ve now avoided tresspassing and vandalism charges and traded them for a libel lawsuit
Only if you get caught
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.
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses.
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…
Edit: Some folks on the force are kissin’ Trump’s arse, while he’s smoochin’ Putin’s, with prayers for the shootin’s… Okay that’s terrible but I didn’t feel I should just tell you do do something and not even try myself
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, referencing the LAPD, and that’s the last line.
This might be the single strangest comment I’ve ever read
I am just 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?

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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
it’s really time we stopped marveling at humanity’s slide into dystopia and do something about it, don’t you agree?
Apparently
threats and intimidation don’tno laws at all count as long as elections are involved.
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 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 am disappointed that the photo is not accompanied by the address.
THIS is ONLY Terrorism when DEMOCRATS do it! But I’m a REPUBLICAN so this is OK!
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.
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.
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.
