I have one exception to this article. I did not hear a “public outcry” for Sias to leave office. There may have been quiet grumbling, but I saw no mass groups calling for him to step down. But, I’m certainly not surprised at that either. The black community is known to “stick together” when one of their elected leaders is separated and prosecuted, even with great evidence. Mayor McIntyre and Charles Walker are the first, and biggest, to come to mind. However, the difference between these 2 men and Sias, is that Sias doesn’t seem to be as well-liked or even looked up to.
I doubt his supporters are aware of any wrong he has done… nothing so dangerous as the “uninformed mass electorate!”
Truth!
After Sias gets out of prison, he will run for public office in his old district and be elected. People get the government they deserve.
Heck Sias’ voters might build a statue for him.
When does ge get arrested? I thought that once you are indicted you are arrested and have to post a bond.
Why should Kemp bother to remove him? He’ll just be replaced by yet another corrupt Democrat.
Why does the black community feel that they need to “stick together” to keep someone in office that has been charged with a crime? Even when they are convicted? I’m reminded of Marion Barry in Washington D.C. He gets caught doing crack and still gets re-elected??? Is it that they can’t find an honest black person? Why do we even have laws? Can’t we just let people get away with stealing? It’s not so bad. Let’s do away with all laws except for murder. Well, on second thought, how about this: if you’re black you can kill up to 2 people without penalty. That way, if a Black commissioner happens to kill his/her wife and his/her lover they can stay in office.
