A school board member in Tuolumne County, California “read in Revelations that I was going to be executioner for God and kill your children"
Charge them with making terroristic threats…
And lock them up
Dude sent 93 pages of emails. Launch him into the sun.
We need to find out what churches folks like this are being indoctrinated in and forcibly shut them down.
At the very least, tax those churches. Churches today are political. Not all of them, but a lot of them. That means they do not qualify for tax exempt status. Of course, any politician is terrified of going against the extremely vocal evangelical minority, so nothing will be done about it.
It’s a large enough voting block of people wanting to turn back the clock on the US (in the worst way possible) to tempt anyone without morals

I love an article where none of the handful of geographic clues mean anything to me. These sound like names in a fictional universe. Without just googling, I’m guessing Washington state.
Edit: Ahhhhh, California. “Modesto” should have been my strongest clue.
“Portillo and another administrator met with Vassar on Oct. 30 to discuss his mental health, along with school board matters. After leaving, he sent them emails with a total of 93 pages of comments, some of them profane.”
Ah yes. That’ll definitely prove you are mentally stable.
It should be illegal for conservatives to be employed in positions overseeing children in any way.
Conservatives are notorious for being opposed to science and education. They are infamous for racism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny, bigotry, sexual assault of adults and sexual assault of children.
We should teach children why it is dangerous and immoral to keep company with conservatives. Never let your child be alone with a conservative. Never.
Vassar was appointed to a vacancy on the three-member board in 2015 and won elections in 2016 and 2022.
So this guy wasn’t even elected. Someone just put this obviously crazy person in a position of power. God bless America.
He won two elections, as noted in the bit you quoted, in 2016 and 2022, after initially being appointed
Might have been running unopposed. That’s pretty common with school boards.
Even if he was opposed incumbency bias is really strong, especially with smaller boards
Undergoing mental evaluation. Yeah, probably a good idea to start there.
read in Revelations
They didn’t have the reading comprehension to know it’s “Revelation”, as in “the Revelation of/to John”, so…
Imagine thinking christian terrorists read the bible. No, they just find an angry enough loud person to read the violent parts out loud to them.

What is the diagnostic test for euthanizing people who are “that far gone” and who gets to administer it? Also, how do we get around that pesky eighth amendment?

Ah, you were just trolling. My mistake.

I see. What gives you the right to decide who lives and who dies?
93 pages of emails. Doesn’t matter what they were about.
So if you send someone 93 pages of emails, that is worthy of a death sentence?

I mean, as someone who hates getting email, I’m gonna say ‘yes’.
I know you’re joking, but the reaction to something like this shouldn’t be “kill the guy,” it should be “get the guy the help he obviously needs.” Because suggesting we execute mentally ill people takes us down a very dark path.
I’ll take emails over unnecessary meetings any day though
How about 92 pages?
What if I show 100 per page and it’s only 46 pages?
What about comments. What’s our limit there? Cuz I think I may not be around much longer…
Yeah, pretty much

Nah fuck that… eat this glock
Yes, definitely should kill mentally unwell people. /s

If you want to kill people with mental health issues, you need some help yourself. I hope you get better.

Diagnostic test: They say batshit insane stuff, who administers: cops administer it (they have no problem doing the administering for non-white people) or they forcibly get admitted in a mental asylum.
So we should trust cops on who deserves to die now?
I really hope this guy gets a lot of serious mental help. And also has his guns taken away. And never works around children again.
Time for the guys with that long white jacket. This guy needs some real help asap, but needs to be separated from humanity for safety reasons until he is safe to come back.
Good, another John Smith.
Save the Children! By killing them?
Probably carries a copy of Catch in the Rye around with him.
