A Kansas mayor announced Tuesday she has resigned over threats she’s been receiving after publicly supporting the city’s COVID-19 mask mandate. Dodge City Mayor Joyce Warshaw told USA Today she feared for her safety after residents threatened her over the phone and email. “I understand people are under a lot of pressure from various things that are happening around society like the pandemic, the politics, the economy, so on and so forth, but I also believe that during these times people are acting not as they normally would,” Warshaw told the outlet. “I think it’s best for me and the city that I love to remove myself from the commission at this time and from the mayorship so that the city can move forward and be the best that it can be, because I believe in the city.” In USA Today’s Dec. 11 article, Warshaw was quoted saying she supported the mask mandate, which the city’s commission passed on Nov. 16. “We just felt like we had to do something so everybody was aware of how important it was for everybody to be responsible for each other’s health and well-being,” the mayor told the outlet. Dodge City police are investigating the threats against Warshaw.

Well... it’s time. ;-)
This ain’t Dodge City.
And you ain’t Bill Hickok. /Quigley
Oh, wait, this IS Dodge City.
Probably not the best time to be a politician or in the media and it’s only just begun.
No. I'm not responsible for other's heath. I'm responsible for mine. They are responsible for theirs.
Everyone lecturing us to “see it through”, all seem to have one thing in common...they are still getting paid!!
:: she feared for her safety ::
Why?
She wears a mask.
Everything should be OK.
Those threats will go away after 2 weeks.
:: so everybody was aware of how important it was for everybody to be responsible for each other’s health and well-being ::
Did I ask for you to be responsible for me, comrade?
What does it mean to be “responsible” for someone else?
That’s about as unAmerican as you can get, comrade.
I’m glad she got enough heat to make her useless sorry as bolt.
Ya see this works, being nice doesnt, a rat tactic
I am not responsible for ANYONE else’s health and well-being. Period.
Imagine the savings if lab workers stopped wearing full body suits and simply wore cloth masks instead. All hail the mask!
Can you see Matt Dillon enforcing a mask mandate in Dodge City?
Well, I’m glad threats worked to get rid of this mayor. We can start behaving as “they” do and maybe actually accomplish something and regain some freedom.
Thats a start.
And we get to pay for it dearly afterwards in new taxes, higher prices etc. etc.
