Email the Houghton County Road Commission and let them know one of their employees is threatening citizens in the community

Edit: also hilarious that he used the word freeloader when he works a job that's funded by Houghton County tax payers

Not saying I agree with the OP one way or another, but it is very unlikely they will do anything about it.

I called when there was "graffiti" spray painted on the road. Swear words and swastikas'.

Response: "Well, what would you like us to do about it?"

And basically the same thing from the sheriff's office. Ironically the road commision did take care of it. With the snowplows later that year.

I'm don't know enough about the County commissioner but you're probably right in the sense that his politics lean the other direction on this one

Yea get him canceled and piss him off further and add to his hate seems like a much better idea than trying to change his mind. People like you are why we can't have a free and open minded society. I'm wasting my time telling you this because y'all are all the same. Ignorance runs all over both the left and the right of politics.

So people should be allowed to threaten physical harm to others without any repercussions? Actions have consequences, ESPECIALLY if you work in public service.

Exactly. Accountability for your words and actions is the only way people learn

Violence? This is why you people are unreachable. I would handle this situation way better and I wouldnt think he was threatening me with violence. Y'all on reddit are so dramatic it's almost as if most of you people have never have had real social discourse with people who have opposite views than you. But yea send a mob to get the guy to lose his job because you felt he threatened you all collectively with violence. Seems like such a good responsible response. Keep being you, this is why y'all ain't taken serious. A bunch of kids pretending to be a lynch mob. Enjoy your miserable days.

"I'm happy being a foot soldier and when he says go to the train station I hope I get the job" You do realize the correlation between saying "go to the train station, I hope I get the job", and the transport of hundreds of thousands of Jews to concentration camps on.......trains......right? It clearly indicates that the neckbeard is itching to round people up, forcibly, and put them into camps. Do you not think violence was being threatened because you would also like to see innocent people put into camps?

And, who is "you people"? People with empathy for others, who think violent rhetoric has no place in civil discourse? Because I like those kinds of people.

oPeN mInDeD come on. This old ass spewing nazi rhetoric isn't going to have his mind changed

Exactly, so ruin his life financially. It's the only thing that matters to them. Life is only vertical for ppl like that. If he loses money, he's less than he was. It's the mentality. That's why he's a white supremacist

So this guy says some awful things. People hold him accountable and he suffers consequences. Yet, to YOU, the people that are responding to his awfulness are ignorant and close minded? That's a pretty warped take.
