HUNTSVILLE, AL -- Mayor Tommy Battle, acting in frustration with councilman Richard Showers, threw a plastic bottlecap into the dais at the end of Thursday's city council meeting.
A member of the audience, the Rev. Mitchell Walker of Church Street CPCA, later that night sent a strongly worded email to Battle, as well as dozens of church and community leaders. Walker demanded an apology.
"Well, I can just say for me," wrote Walker, "to see an elected authoritative Caucasian male mayor totally lose his cool and have the utter gall to throw something at or near a senior African American male Councilman ... I'm just speaking for me ... very much carries 'racial' overtones."

I live in Huntsville. I don’t think Showers will EVER go away!
Wow. Sounds like the New York City Council. They haven’t thought of throwing bottle caps yet, I don’t think.
I don’t think it’s because of criticism of Zero. They know he’s a fraud, too. They will still vote for him out of racial solidarity (those who bother to show up for him, and those numbers will be way down next time), but they know.
Depends. If the fella was standing there worried about the Island of Guam tipping over if we put a few more Marines on it, or some such other dumb arse idea, the guy should’ve shoved bottlecaps up both his nostrils, and told him to sit down and shut up and quit being stupid, I don’t care what color he is. I suspect the guy at the podium was proposing some REAL solution to a REAL PROBLEM, and it gets totally frustrating to have to spend time educating the man, when there was work to be done.
Seems like the man was rather upset about a bump in the road and there were no cones on it to tell him not to drive in it and wanted to meet the guy at 6:30 am to LOOK at it. Had the scene been reversed and the city employee asked the councilman to meet him there at 6:30 am too LOOK at it, with that same smart arse attitude, they would’ve called him a racist for disrespecting the FINE city councilman. There’s no placating the racebaiting idiots. Skrew them!
Two words:
Bull
and
Sh*t
They are their own worst enemy.
Saw the video of the complaint. What I found interesting is one woman pointed out that she could hear the "r" in the pronunciation of hole, even though no one asked her.
Remember, ignorance IS an excuse.
EVERYTHING is race to these people.
As Mrs. RQSR has said often “If one wishes to be offended, one will be offended”.
The Blacks in government, and the race baiters such as Jackson, and Sharpton have about worn out the being offended crap.
This guy so offended by the tossed bottle cap is so pure and unbiased that he immediately began his spiel with race identity, and accusations of racism.
I’m just speaking for me, but he was IMO waiting for the opportunity to be offended himself, but had to settle for being offended for another black person instead.
What I would like to do is put my foot in the Reverend’s azz up to the ankle.
Yeah, but a bunch of blacks going about the country sucker punching people at random ISN'T racist, right?
