Head of AK "Human Rights Comm." Under Investigation for 1st/2nd Amendment Violations

A scandal is developing in Alaska, as the head of the Human Rights Commission (HRC) has been implicated in directly chilling the exercise of the First and Second Amendments of the Constitution. Governor Dunleavy has ordered an investigation of the scandal.

The head of the HRC, Marti Buscaglia, became upset over a bumper sticker on a contractor's work truck. The bumper sticker showed the silhouette of an AR15 type rifle, along with the words “Black Rifles Matter.”  It is a pretty standard call to support the Second Amendment. Brenton Linegar owns Sage Mechanical, the small plumbing and air conditioning company that owns the truck. Sage Mechanical's client is the owner of the building where the truck was parked. The HRC rents space in the building. Somehow, the Executive Director of the HRC in Alaska interpreted the Second Amendment sticker as being offensive.

The picture of the Second Amendment sticker of Black Rifles Matter on the truck, with the license plate, was posted on the official Alaskan HRC facebook page, with the comment: “In what world is this OK?”.

At first, it was not clear what Buscaglia found offensive about the bumper sticker. Was it the pro-Second Amendment message? No. The HRC, after considerable comments on Facebook, clarified Buscaglia had read the sticker as “racist.”  The best reporting I have seen on this issue is on mustreadalaska.com.

These "Human Rights Commissions" are some of the biggest abusers of Constitutional Rights on the planet.

Just ask the Owner of Masterpiece Cakes in CO.

Tomorrow’s liberal: I might disagree with your dangerous thoughts. You will be arrested for not supporting the acceptable narratives.

My former project leader was a Muslim who was into shooting. He wanted to get a Islamic star and crescent and an NRA sticker for his car. I told him people would lose their minds.

And before you say anything, he grew up way back in the Appalachian hills. He doesn’t want to disappoint the parents.

Some subcontractors marry a minority and list the business under ‘her’ name.

That used to work. Not so much anymore unless she is involved in the business everyday. My wife technically owns the majority stock in my little business but since she has a job it does not qualify as a Woman owned business.
