A California mayor who recently said he would resign over social media posts comparing Trump supporters to members of the Ku Klux Klan was killed in a plane crash Saturday, according to a report.
Auburn Mayor Bill Kirby was identified as the person killed when a small plane went down near Auburn Airport just after 11 a.m. local time, FOX 40 Sacramento reported.
The other person on the plane apparently survived but there was no immediate information about that persons identity or medical condition.
Kirby, who was also a physician, took heat from Auburn residents earlier this week during a city council meeting that was conducted by video because of the coronavirus outbreak.

“When it said California mayor I was thinking Garcetti. Dang.”
Or that Oakland hexe.
That said, prayers to his family...
Two people die while cooped up in a small plane.
Dr. Fauci will count those as corona deaths.
People really are clueless about "when push comes to shove".
The mayor probably pushed to far and somebody shoved back.

JMO, YMMV
Is this karma?
Hatred and Rational Thinking can not coexist in an individual.
I have a good friend who was a commercial pilot for years and in his retirement years operated a small town airport. After a minor incident at his airport, he commented that the major cause of private plane accidents were doctors who just received an instrument rating. Doctors often have a superiority complex and think they are experts at everything. In particular I knew one that had a race car as a hobby. It was a slug, while I had a pretty good reputation for making one go fast with minimal $$, it’s almost an art. I could see about three things that would fix the majority of the problems his car had, so when he asked for help, I told him the first two things I’d do to it. He couldn’t accept it and wanted to argue with me about it. Since he was a guy I went to HS with, and knowing that in reality he wasn’t any better student than I was, I told him if he wanted to go fast, do what I told him, or keep doing what you’re doing and look like an idiot. He had too much pride to listen and eventually gave up. The things he had screwed up were also pretty much cost-free like a lot of things that make a car go fast.
Oh, darn. A shame.
Credit given where credit is due. /sarcasm 8>)
He really, truly resigned. Enjoy retirement!
Oh, wait..
It will be classified as a COVID-19 death.
With the attitudes he expressed it was obvious that this loser was a malignancy on civil society. His internal thinking must have really been screwed-up. That he is dead is a plus for civil society. What a pathetic, mean-spirited, hateful loser. To wish death upon others...the fool was an obvious mental case. Death is now his.
It's one thing to kill oneself, another thing to take someone else along, or attempt to. /Captain Obvious
Oh one can count on the left wing conspiracy nuts to do their very best in that area.
When the Klan was evil AND powerful 60 years it was an all democrat organization... former Klan members from the Senator Byrd (democrat - leader of the US Senate) to President Johnson (democrat) to Bull Conner were democrat thugs. Today democrats have chosen new victims they’ve chosen Trump supporters. But they use the same tactics against us that they used against blacks and they’re as evil as they ever were...
Republicans freed the slaves and were the people who defeated Jim Crow.
You tried to help him, but he was too proud to listen.
Fine. Do it your way, then.
You said what I’m (and, likely MANY are) thinking.
I bet if enough people spread the rumor that there was a Trump body count at liberal forums, MSNBC abd CNN would start reporting it.
Gee... what a ... shame...
