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.

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.
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
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.
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
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.
You don’t need to identify as a Nazi to be a Nazi just like I don’t need to be a pilot to know a plane crash or to be a psychologist to know you’re a fucking moron.
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.
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.
How many times a day do you have to say “I’m not a Nazi.”?
Putting People on Political HIT LISTS ISNT Nazi! It’s ONLY Nazi if they PHYSICALLY Gas them!
What you should have said was nothing.
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!
Hmmm random Lemmy user and a Shariff, I bet they have the same power.
Bleach isn’t a beverage. Stop drinking.

Fucking idiot.
In the US, sheriffs are elected officials, i.e. they can’t be fired.
Can they not be recalled?
That depends on state and county law.
If a recall is possible, the same would dictate what the procedure for a recall is.
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.
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.
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.
God help us all if the Republicans come in to power…and that’s coming from northh of your border :(
At least y’all recognized the proud boys.

Eventually…
I would say put some Kamala Walz signs in his yard to fuck with him, but he seems like the kind of guy to shoot you for using the end of his driveway to make a 3 point turn so…
Get some maga signs made up that wash off in the rain and reveal Kamala signs underneath.

Like a clown’s greasepaint disappearing in the rain, revealing the middle-aged drunk beneath.
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.
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!”
