Get this: Flake’s son a year ago June owned a kennel to board dogs. Under his care 23 dogs died by dehydration. Lack of care, perhaps?
Families, of course, sued because of the awful deaths of their beloved animals.
There was a court date set. The families whose animals had died were told or sent a letter indicating the court date had been changed. They did not show up for the original court date.
But Flake’s son showed up on the original court date, and without any complainants there, he just walked right out the courtroom doors. No fines. No families to face. Obviously no guilt.
Now who do you think set that up? What judge would have all owed 23 families to not be able to face the killer of their beloved animals?
Makes you think somebody may have been helped by his daddy, eh?
So, my vote is against Flake ever holding any governmental office, especially a dog catcher.

Update, from Miss Slippy and I: Austin Flake has decided to sue Joe Arpaio for this. I think this is great, because this will strip the media veneer they've been using to protect Jeff Flake. Flake Jr. is suing Arpaio, claiming the charges filed for the 23 dead dogs is politically motivated, but the facts of the case, as Slip laid out, will now become public. The world will find out Flake pulled strings with the County Prosecutor to get his kid off, and whatever political future he had is now toast.
Flake's kid murdered 23 dogs, and has gotten off scot-free. That has to end now. Start of the trial is December5, I predict this gets dropped that day like a hot potato.
BTW, we are both AZ voters. It matters.
