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!”

in my experience police do not like it when you dox them

it is especially true with secret police and ex police

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 33 points 17 hours ago

Will I be banned for posting his address? He is a public employee so it's publicly available data

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 21 points 17 hours ago

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?

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

I'll accept that if people who vote against abortion access are banned from having them

[-] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 6 points 6 hours ago

This would require that the government be able to retrieve your individual voting record, and then stand in the way of your healthcare based on how you vote. Sounds like a neofascist pipedream.

I, for one, don't accept your authoritarian proposal.

[-] dubious@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

ohio democrats, here's what you do: buy guns.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago

Found the gun manufacturer!

[-] Soup@lemmy.cafe 37 points 23 hours ago

Please tell me “condemned” is new slang for fired.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 22 points 22 hours ago

Nope, he'll probably be re-elected by a landslide

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 15 points 16 hours ago

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.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 64 points 1 day ago

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?

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

We never really left that era, they were just good at hiding it for a while.

Is it illegal to just leave one in his yard that mysteriously replaced itself?

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 22 hours ago

Genocide types like this absolutely have cameras watching their yards

I think this terrorist cop needs to spend some time in the state penitentiary

[-] dubious@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

he won't. it's up to us to punish conservatives.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] dubious@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

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.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

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

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.”

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 53 points 1 day ago

Apparently threats and intimidation don't count as long as elections are involved.

[-] dubious@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

it's really time we stopped marveling at humanity's slide into dystopia and do something about it, don't you agree?

Oohhh... Condemned... Absolutely no teeth

[-] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 13 points 23 hours ago

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

[-] makatwork@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

At least it wasn't "slammed".

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

The next journalist to use that word will be slammed against a wall

[-] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 day ago

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
