I know violence is never the answer, but why doesn't the mayor buy a gun to defend her daughter's and herself when she's outside the home? And my condolences to her colleagues family for their loss.
What is the mayor afraid of for her not to seek reelection for the murder of her fellow Council person? There Has to be more to the story. A true leader would not be scared to be stepping down from being a mayor of a small town. There is something more going on than meets the eye that we are not being told or know about yet. Now I’m not saying that the mayor has anything to do with the shooting of her fellow council member at all. I’m not insinuating that. It just seems odd to me. I hope they catch who ever killed the council lady in this case, and bring them to Justice to find out what is actually happening.
She's probably lying. She was called a racial slur by which race? For all we know,they could be responsible for Swiss cheezing the lil black American gal
She was probably next. Good mood on her part. So sad that the country has come to this.
So this is how it is? We let the MAGA terrorists win? I go to war for this country, 9 years of my life fighting terrorists and yet here they are in my own back yard, we need to label MAGA for who they are domestic terrorists and treat them as such.
No elected city official should have to put up with this. I don't blame her, but we have many officials who are terrified. Everyone walking around packing heat and with no restrictions. How many of
our Mayors and other elected officials should have to step down out of fear for their lives? From Oakland CA
Killing political opponents is a sign of fascism.
God bless you're lost 🙏 😢😢😢 yeppers it Republicans that's doing it
Coward
This is what happens when we keep tolerating domestic terrorists, why is the far right being given a pass yet again
The threats had the desired effect. Who's upset at this council?
Trumpers 🥀 Woe 🥀
The mayor is a Democrat but her friend and colleague who was murdered, Eunice Dwumfour, was a Republican.
May you be safe, Victoria Kilpatrick. Sending you light, not only for yourself, also for your daughters and all who you care about.
This is really despicable and deserves more attention than it's getting
The mob tried to tell her…😬
God, she announced her decision not to run like she was announcing the second coming of Christ. The entire town only has 40,000 people.
I don’t know why anyone would want to be in politics anyway. The idea of representing and “serving” a nation of idiots seems repulsive. Americans are historically stupid, and there are easier and more noble ways to make money.
Is she a democrat I wonder I feel very sad for her and her friend
Just sad 💔
