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 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.
Hes a
republicanFUCKING NAZIFTFY
It would help everyone a lot more if you stopped getting those two things confused
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.
It would help if you didn’t exaggerate. He has invaded no country and installed no gas chambers. He is a racist fascist at best. That word shouldn’t be thrown around so easily.
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!
When did he call for violence? It sounded like he just wanted them to shelter illegals.
No, you’re right, he only said they should be forced to house incoming “locusts.” That’s nothing like a Nazi at all. Thanks for setting us straight.
Awe did I get downvoted? Boohoo.
The word is over used. This man is a racist piece of trash, but not a Nazi. Actual Nazis and White Supremacists exist.
You do know that the Nazis didn’t start building gas chambers and invading other countries on day one, right?
Yes, I also know they held rallies and self identified as nazis
I see, so you have to literally be a member of the German National Socialist Worker’s Party in order for someone to legitimately call you a Nazi.
Yes. Otherwise we have to call them sparkling fascist.
This is the level of this person’s argument as far as I can tell. It’s not a Nazi if it’s off-brand.
No, there are in fact neo-nazis that self identify as nazis
I see, so you have to literally call yourself a Nazi or someone else calling you a Nazi is being unfair to you.
I am God. Worship me /s
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
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
Illegal human ‘Locust’
WTF… I really want to live in a world where people in power are at least afraid to say things like that publicly.
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.
Fascists and religious zealots should be rounded up and put on special land that’s been reserved just for them. I’m sure there’s some place out in the desert we could stick them.
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.
its never too late to start helping
I fully intend to do my part.
They want good guys with guns? This is how you get liberal gun owners :/
We bought guns in 2016. Get with the program.
That guys face makes me feel unsafe
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.
