Alabama mayor calls for killing out LGBTQ
page: 7share:
a reply to: TheRedneck
I agree. The whole state shouldn't be judged by a few fools. I think it's mostly an issue of small towns and lack of diversity.
I think he meant exactly what people think he meant as was restated in his TV interview when he was talking about resorting to violence if a revolution/civil war happened. He's basically saying how th hings should be, and will be if a civil war happeneds.
The guy should be immediately fired from being mayor and hopefully never have power again. The guy wants civil war because the left are allowing gays to dance in the street.

Actually, I took it a different way. I think what he was saying is that the activists trying to force societal change are so aggressive that nothing short of killing them could stop them. That's not a call to kill, as much as a statement of their ferocity.
Likely, he'll serve out his term, but won't be re-elected. That's usually what happens. Probably a good thing, as it will let the next mayor know that, hey, you might want to think before you start saying things on the Internet, especially if you're from a state the media loves to hate on.

He had the chance to say what you just said on TV and didn't. Maybe that's what he was trying to say.... But he had time to prep for the interview and still came out with some nonsensical awnser.
In either case, this guy shouldn't be in power.

Gee, I've lived here for a short time, too. It is gorgeous, isn't it?? NE Alabama certainly is.
However, I've not noticed a great many inbred people running around...not something I look for mind you, ain't none of my business...
Being poisoned? Water quality here is better than in many places I've lived. Just disagreein' with you.
Why in quotation marks?? So far, other than than that damned accent, the vast majority are just people. No more "different" than many another person living any where else.

Perhaps the mayor needs to be challenged by one of those leather boyz and settle it like men.

I have done my best to avoid preaching. I tried to avoid hypercritical preaching, this in light of New Zealand's of social ills is very poor form. New Zealand also has it share of governance issues at local and regional council level. I am ashamed of the Invercargill City Council's poor customer service. tax and spend mentality and ignoring core local government infrastructure responsibilities.
Returning to the focus of the topic. Social changes in our societies occur gradually. Periods of time where social views of the emerging generation depart from their parents and grandparents generations are tumultuous. This last occurred in 1960's, the anti Vietnam War protest movement, and Contraceptive Pills (The Pill) for women were new social and medical science developments.
The polarisation of our societies in the 1960's and in the present is rooted among ignorance, lack of maturity and the debate around (man made) climate change is closer to religious sectarianism. As the son of an Australian Vietnam veteran, I understand the need to to tread carefully in a time of social divisions. However, there is no such care taken by people whose entrenched views are proclaimed the loudest. This is occurring along side the left wing shift to cracking down on free speech. Any slight disagreement or dissent is labeled hate speech.
Despite the implications of the terminology, Nixon's present day silent majority is not confined to his country. I don't hate people who are pro life and oppose gay marriage. I am a part of the generational shift towards support for gay marriage. Interestingly, debates around Transgender rights, and Voluntary euthanasia is seeing the topic of social debates shifting.
The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.

I would think of the comment as killing out the moniker/movement, not gays in general, but I guess it can be taken either way depending on how you look at it. He also said "We live in a society where homosexuals lecture us on morals, transvestites lecture us on human biology, baby killers lecture us on human rights and socialists lecture us on economics.” which is quite accurate.
Oooohhh. "Lectures." Man, this guy is the daintiest, most fragile and special snowflake EVER!

“The only way to change it would be to kill the problem out. I know it’s bad to say but without killing them out there’s no way to fix it.”
I know things are often taken out of context and this guy is sorry, yada yada.
But I have to ask, is this really taken out of context? How else can you interpret "killing them"? That seems pretty straight forward to me.
I've always said when someone tells you who they are, believe them.
This guy obviously wishes anyone that is LGBTQ is dead. There is no mincing words. He doesn't think they should be alive. Although there is a lot on the far left that I do not agree with this, this is as extreme as what many conservatives would call Muslims/suicide bombers etc. The ends justify the means, right?
I guess that is the irony of the whole thing. The far left and far right are the worst of us. They are exactly the same in many ways..
They represent everything that America is not.
Alabama is such a progressive* state isn't it? What's next, segregation based on the colour of your skin?
*Obviously meant as irony in case someone didn't guess, it's a state that seems to want to regress a century or two.
a reply to: uncommitted
Nah, just a couple of decades... back to when a man could make an honest living and politicians at least tried to act like they weren't hardened criminals.

Y'all realize the media is blowing up an idiot from a town of 2000 people right?
This is hardly a significant story and this yokel is hardly important in the scheme of things.
You have to wonder why this is getting the attention that it is.
That is how far they have to go and how hard they need to look for someone that is equal to Democrats on the other side of that coin. The difference is, the fringe on the left is mainstream. The fringe on the left is the majority.

HE IS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL...
That inherently makes him, not only fair game, but also super relevant..
Now let’s compare that to the people held up as champions of the left who say retarded tgings..
Lena Dunham.. am E list actress with only one acting credit..
Ana sarkosian... I think she was a writer or something.. she is such a nobody that I only know her from conservative articles about her..
And let’s not forget the laundry list of random people who have been made memes for saying crazy stuff and still had 100s of conservative articles written about them..
I agree with your point in principle ..
Only statements from elected officials or the heads of large organizations, speaking for that organization, really counts..
I find stretching the personal , off the clock opinions
Of individuals over their whole company ridiculous..
But see I am consistent so I don’t like it either direction..
