The letters obtained by the Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, show people's concern over the tone of the Facebook post by Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski
At least 59 Ohio residents have complained to the state's attorney general over posts made by an Ohio sheriff suggesting that people should keep track of homeowners who have signs supporting Democrat Kamala Harris for president.
Bruce Zuchowski, the sheriff for Portage County just southeast of Cleveland, posted the suggestion to his social media account on Sept. 13, when he talked about Harris’ campaign and border policies.
…
Some people said they were angry, accusing Zuchowski of voter intimidation and racism. Others, including people who live in Portage County, said the sheriff’s post made them afraid.

Hes a republican FUCKING NAZI
FTFY
It would help everyone a lot more if you stopped getting those two things confused
If he doesn't personally invade any countries, and calls for gun violence against "the undesirables" instead of gas chambers, does he still escape the Nazi label? I need to know what the line is exactly according to you, because he's already trying to put political enemies on an intimidation list and time may be short.
Putting People on Political HIT LISTS ISNT Nazi! It's ONLY Nazi if they PHYSICALLY Gas them!
You do know that the Nazis didn't start building gas chambers and invading other countries on day one, right?
That word shouldn’t be thrown around so easily.
You're correct. it should be reserved for Don the con. aka Diaper Donny.
AKA McChicken
There's literally a Lemmy user trying to mark all Trump supporters on a map on a website. Nazi I assume?
When you reach, stretch, and attempt to classify everyone who does awful things or that you disagree with politically a "nazi," you make the word mean less, and you make people care about the term less.
People like me, right now. Carry on, this thread is boring.
Edit: this is handy, it's like a self-selecting block list. Thanks yall!
Bleach isn’t a beverage. Stop drinking.
How can the sheriff be removed from office?
Sheriffs may be removed from office if found guilty of misconduct. Misconduct includes willful and flagrant exercises of “authority or power not authorized by law,” refusal or willful neglect “to enforce the law or to perform any official duty imposed . . . by law,” or “gross neglect of duty, gross immorality, drunkenness, misfeasance, malfeasance, or nonfeasance.”16 The governor or qualified voters may initiate removal proceedings by filing a complaint with the court of common pleas of the county where the sheriff resides. A voter’s complaint must outline the charge and include signatures of qualified voters making up at least 15 percent of total votes cast in the sheriff ’s county in the most recent election for governor. The removal proceedings are tried by a judge unless the sheriff demands a jury trial. The court may suspend the officer
I'd say this asshole is immensely guilty of misconduct. He caused literal neighbors to target and spy on people who voted differently, inviting violence upon them.
He has since doubled-down on that bullshit by stating:
With elections, there are consequences. That being said…I believe that those who vote for individuals with liberal policies have to accept responsibility for their actions!
In other words, he knows that he's instigating riots and genocide, and he's not going to apologize for it.
Responsibility for actions? Coming from Republicans?! Headed by the biggest baby no responsibility taking motherfucker Trump. Thousands of covid dead and he says, "it is what it is." It's times like this you can pop on some Bob Marley and be comforted by his words. Fuck you sheriff!
Nah, see, it's just typical victim blaming. He's pretty much doing the whole "why do you make me hurt you" gaslighting bullshit you get from all abusers.
And who also said "you'll be ok" to the Hurricane Helene survivors. Fucks sake
Sounds like an assertion of a threat. He means to harm people who vote for Harris
What he originally wrote:
"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," Zuchowski wrote in the Facebook post. "Sooo…when the Illegal human "Locust" (which she supports!) Need places to live…We'll already have the addresses of their New families…who supported their arrival!"
Fascists should be identified and added to the map so we can avoid them for safety. https://magatmap.com
Before you reply with whataboutism/slippery slope/some other non-aggression pact garbage, please keep it to yourself.
My only issue is that it includes random nobodies. It should just be for government officials, cops and billionaires.
Those random nobodies can become a somebody with power one day. So list them all.
Then list them when they mater.
they mater now
Thank you for this. I see we have a lot to add where I am.
I fully intend to do my part.
God help us all if the Republicans come in to power...and that's coming from northh of your border :(
Guy, fellow Canadian here. When the Confederacy fell apart they all ran away to us. And we fucking took them, ffs. Jefferson Davis lived out his treacherous life in Toronto. There are redneck, Confederate flag waving racists throughout the Canadian borders. I've even seen pro Trump flags up here in Canada. We've been infected by these fucks for a long time
That was the original sin that destroyed America.
We should have treated them like Germany, they even hung many of the surviving nazis after the war.
Instead we kept them out of power for a decade than turned our backs and let them slime right back in.
Nah, it was just a show in Germany, even at Nuremberg only like 10 Nazi were executed. Most Nazis were just absorbed back into their society but the Germans just passed specific laws to prevent the display of Nazi flags. That is really the biggest difference. The Germans even let former Nazis back into the government.
Germany didn't have 100 years of Jim Crow and the KKK, so whatever they did clearly worked.
Can confirm. I've seen Trump and even fucking Confederate flags on people's houses. Always in the shittiest parts of town too. Imagine supporting a bunch of traitor losers from a country you're not even from, who you share no heritage with.
I remember going south Ontario somewhere for my wife's sister's wedding. It was an American Southern plantation style house and property, complete with servant quarters, stables, etc. built soon after the end of the civil war. I looked it up while I was there, and sure enough that's where I learned that many of the American traitors were allowed amnesty in Canada, which is a disgrace.
Just being in that property during that wedding made me sick
At least y’all recognized the proud boys.
Doxx all of the cops.
It is literally that simple. Them being vulnerable at their homes should be required for that job.
Everyone knew where the heroes of the Iliad lived. If they want to be tough guy heroes let us know where you live, officer.
Everybody knew where the sheriff and deputies lived in Mayberry.
Contrary to popular belief, violence actually is the solution in some situations.
Perhaps not this one and there could be an interesting discussion around that, but I fucking hate the idea that violence is never a solution when it absolutely is sometimes.
What is? The legal system protects them
You mean the fictional heroes of the Illiad? You know it's fiction, right?
This is a stupid idea. Hate the game, not the players. Institutional change is needed, instead of answering violence with more violence.
Maybe it's high time to start fucking people like this up. Like, really fuck them up.
It would not be seen as a consequence.
Entitlement is such a miraculous prism for viewing the world.
Is there going to be some opportunity for a round table discussion where they rate the consequences out of 5 stars? A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
They want good guys with guns? This is how you get liberal gun owners :/
'It was just a joke, people. Jeesh.'
Clearly the solution to the problems we're facing as a society is judging everyone by outward appearances. /s
That hairstyle and beard are a choice he makes everyday. He has nobody to blame but himself.

Hes a republican who called for people he doesn't like to be targeted in a position of extreme local power.
He should be immediately fired, and an interim sheriff put in place until the election.
