Dear friends, a name like Outlaw plays well in da' hood. It just seems well... inappropriate to show up to salute a stinkin' pig! Anyway, there are far too many of them running around in North Carolina. And as we all know too well - da' hood will always have Outlaw as their champion.
That’s pretty bad optics even for a Democrat. Afraid of being called a racist?
From a related story:
” ‘I was there to start the healing process. I know it’s hard for a lot of folks and I know it’s going to be hard,’ Mayor Outlaw said. ‘I know many people are not going to be able to forgive. I have to, as a leader of the city, offer out that forgiveness. If I don’t start it, who is going to?’ “
Well, gee, as long as he knows it’s hard!
What a moron. And a pompous one, to boot. Who the HE-double toothpicks does he think he is? You’re the one responsible for starting the healing process? Don’t do us any favors, chump.
Well, a DimocRAT mayor chooses to honor a black felon who killed one (white) cop and wounded another before the felon was killed.
I guess the DimocRAT was just honoring his base. The New Bern cops must not be union.
You can’t make this stuff up.
In a world paved with *ssholes, this guy’s an avenue all by himself.
New Bern is a trashy town.
I just found this. This murdering thug sounds like a great guy if you read the newspaper article. In the comments below, one of the replies mentions the murdering thug as a child molester.

Horrible.
it should be a crime to be a Democrat
I know a cop on the New Bern P.D. I can’t wait to ask her about this. About 12 years ago New Bern got rid of it’s K 9s. Too expensive.
Disgusting. I pray God visits this scumbag “Mayor”. Rest In Peace Officer Thallman.
A white mayor goes to the funeral of a black thug who murders a white police officer by shooting him in the face instead to the victims funeral?
How “liberal” is that?
Guilt tripping, racist, white “liberals” have no limits to their idiocy.

I read this 3 times and I still don’t know if this is a joke. Wait, let me read this again...
During Tuesday’s first Board of Aldermen meeting since the death of Officer Thalmann, three people spoke out against the mayor and the city’s handling of the events.
“Going as far as to say you are a Christian- because you went to a cop killer’s funeral, [which] is a huge disgrace to every man slash woman of the blue,” said New Bern resident Eric Whitehurst.
“You owe an apology to everyone. But I’m also aware, you’re not going to get it,” said Laura Heckman, of New Bern.
“There is a void in leadership right now, and the city can do better than this,” said resident Steve Long. “I will echo that quote, Mr. Mayor. Resign.”

Posting from fallen Officer’s Mother
Stacey Thalmann · Works at NC Prison RN, life IS stranger than fiction
I am Alex Thalmann’s Mother. My son was adopted and of Latino Heritage. I raised him to not listen to other peoples opinions of people and to get to know them as individuals. Alex did not believe in racial profiling. He believed in the law.
People who are up to something exhibit physical signs, body language if you will. When Alex talked to this guy, he chose to run. People who are not up to no good don’t run. I was also told Stallings stated to his cousin saying he would never go back to prison.
For the last 4 years I have worked as an RN at Craven Correctional in Vanceboro. I treated all the inmates with kindness thinking I may be the first nice person they had ever met. They would tell me stories of their lives and how they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sometimes I would run their rap sheets only to discover they had been in the wrong place at the wrong time 20 or more times which is why they are in Prison.
To say my son was a racist (racial profiling) is completely unacceptable. Everyone who knew Alex, and I mean both genders, all races, all religions found him to be a compassionate and giving human being.
As for myself, I worked for 4 years with Stallings Aunt who raised him and also works at the Prison. She is still the same woman I had come to like and know. She is not responsible for an adult man who chose the life he did.
As for the politicians they are always going to go after the vote.
My Alex died too young and violently. I chose his friends, family and fellow Police Officers to honor him rather than those who knew nothing of him. Alex earned the respect of his fellow Officers and he deserved nothing less.
My heart is broken and I would never wish losing a child on anyone.
If you feel your politicians are broken in New Bern you have the right and the obligation to vote them out.
Sincerely,
Stacey Thalmann, Washington, NC
