this idiot is now pushing more gun control
Good. Im guessing he will not be reelected. Opps, out comes another vitriolic remark ~
The perfect response.
He was publicly insulting his state and the majority of its citizens and can not be relied on to treat the citizens there with respect.
Furthermore, although perhaps there should be an investigation, there is considerable second-hand evidence that Dupnik should have acted in ways that would have prevented this tragedy.
In the first place, the perp was at least twice involved with drug charges, but they were simply dismissed. If they had stayed on his record, he would not have been cleared by the FBI to buy a gun.
In the second place, he was dismissed by his local college, which reported to the Sheriff that he was a danger to the other students. Again, the sheriff did nothing.
In the third place, there were numerous complaints that he was making death threats against people. Again, nothing was done, either to arrest him or to demand a psychiatric evaluation.
The sheriff himself said, according to one report, that it would not be wise to proceed with these complaints, because the perp’s mother was an influential county official.
Even on the morning of the killings, he went through a stop sign and was pulled over by a park officer. When the officer learned who he was, he was simply released. Could it be that everyone in law enforcement had been warned not to make trouble because of his mother’s influence?
An investigation is called for. But I think there is enough here to afford additional grounds for recall. Dupnik failed to perform his job because of political influence.
This is the right thing to do, but....
To those obtaining the signitures - watch out for plants from the left to somehow forge the name of non-existent citizens or do something so that the whole list is thrown out.
They’re pretty good at voter fraud so something like this is probably a piece of cake for them.
Sheriff Dupnik failed to protect the community.
And is still failing the community with his aiding the perps defense team.
This is interesting. Some were talking of impeaching him on a thread days ago and I mentioned this ‘very thing’ and it was ignored as if it were a dumb thought.
It isn’t an easy thing to accomplish though, depending on the political makeup of the citizens there.
If a known conservative calls Dupnik's office with a reasonable request, what can he expect in response? A loud click followed by a dial tone?
Can Dupnik really be both smart enough to be sheriff and dumb enough to behave as he has behaved?
If this does not happen, then Tucson is done. The least they can do is get rid if this growth that inhibits the expansion and well being of the city.
