Alabama Mayor Calls for Killing LGBTQ People in Facebook Post

[47of74]

Source: Advocate

An Alabama mayor has posted comments on Facebook about killing LGBTQ people, then tried to deny the post was his, but finally admitted it.

Carbon Hill Mayor Mark Chambers posted a graphic that read, “We live in a society where homosexuals lecture us on morals, transvestites lecture us on human biology, baby killers lecture us on human rights and socialists lecture us on economics.” It has now been removed, but Birmingham TV station WBRC captured a screen shot.

A Facebook friend of his commented, “By giving the minority more rights than the majority. I hate to think of the country my grandkids will live in unless somehow we change and I think that will take a revolution.” Chambers responded to that comment by saying, “The only way to change it would be to kill the problem out. I know it’s bad to say but without killing them out there’s no way to fix it.”

WBRC called Chambers, who first claimed the post was on someone else’s page, then ended the conversation. Then he called back and said the comment was meant to be a private message to his friend. He also said, “I never said anything about killing out gays or anything like that.” Then the reporter read the post back to him, and he said, “That’s in a revolution. That’s right! If it comes to a revolution in this country both sides of these people will be killed out.”

Ugh.

Reason thirty thousand why I'll never step foot in Alabama again and to the extent possible not do business with Alabama companies going forward.

[Maxheader]

1. Marky..?

Wouldn't be walkin down any dark alleys now....

[roamer65]

7. I second that motion.

Enuff said.

[Laffy Kat]

2. How is this asshole still in office?

He is obviously a dangerous person if not downright threatening. He needs to be removed immediately.

[onetexan]

23. K&R

[LonePirate]

27. Any elected official advocating death for his constituents should be removed from office immediately

[comradebillyboy]

29. He's still in office because his constituents largely agree

with him. Lots of Christians think gays should be killed.

[paleotn]

38. You would be appalled and terrified...

by how many people believe this shit down there. They exist everywhere, but the south is rife with them, driven by their fundigelical death cult.

[JI7]

39. he is in Alabama

[Celerity]

42. he looks like a psycho lyncher too

and just damn, at the headline of the article that pic is from, you cant make this shit up

CH garbage truck to get new engine block

[yardwork]

46. He looks like he might have a drinking problem.

The people of Carbon Hill might want to take a close look at what is going on in city hall. Seems like the mayor is unstable.

[FiveGoodMen]

3. Let's build a wall around Alabama

With no doors whatsoever.

[irisblue]

11. We lock Trof and other Dems in with those people. We also lose the deep water port of Mobile

The other ports and at least these bases-Army Bases
Fort Rucker Army Base in Dale, AL. Dale, Alabama Military Bases. ...
Redstone Arsenal Army Base in Madison, AL. Madison, Alabama Military Bases. ...
Anniston Army Depot Base in Bynum, AL. Bynum, Alabama Military Bases. ...
Fort McClellan Army Base (Training Center) in Anniston, AL. , Alabama Military Bases. ( wikipedia)

Those ports are important for commerce



3 solid reasons to say no.

[FiveGoodMen]

18. Seal them off and keep the coast, then.

[LonePirate]

28. Sometimes you need to make concessions when negotiating. We can do without those locales.

[irisblue]

30. We lose the Civil Rights Trail , also important places in our history

Anniston
Birmingham
Monroeville
Montgomery
Scottsboro
Selma
Tuscaloosa
Tuskegee


Yeah,that ass needs to be shot into the sun, but are you messing with me?

[LonePirate]

35. It's like having gangrene on your forearm even though your hand is fine.

Sometimes severing the bad is good for the whole, even if unfortunate losses are incurred along the way.

[yardwork]

47. Bases can be moved.

[Eliot Rosewater]

4. Of course and not just the gays, these filth want you dead, me dead, all of us dead.

[MarcA]

16. Schadenfreude considering most of these characters in a real revolution. n/t

[47of74]

50. Yeah that's why I no longer judge our side if they feel the need to arm themselves

[Scurrilous]

5. Lynyrd Skynyrd lied!

[Honeycombe8]

6. OMG. The fascism is getting worse and worse. nt

[nycbos]

8. How long before he gets caught on a gay hook up app?

[The Mouth]

9. If this keeps up

they will start running pedophiles for the Senate.

[The Mouth]

10. Oh, wait ......

[Aristus]

12. Did you notice that?

The haters think that equality is "Giving the minority more rights than the majority". It's like when they call gays getting married 'special rights' instead of just the rights that everyone else has.

[yourmovemonkey]

44. These people see everything as a zero sum game

In their minds, extending the same rights to another group can only mean that they must have lost something in "the deal".

[raccoon]

13. SOB should be forced out of office. Nt

[MarcA]

14. Apparently, it is not a problem when a Minority of the Voters rule. n/t

[GoneOffShore]

15. I can only repost the Werner Hertzog tweet of 2017

Dear America: You are waking up, as Germany once did, to the awareness that 1/3 of your people would kill another 1/3, while 1/3 watches.

[Solly Mack]

22. Some aren't waking up fast enough.

[FiveGoodMen]

26. AND ... Germany didn't solve it's own problem; the Allies did.

Who's going to save us?

[Solly Mack]

31. I don't know the answer to that.

I could give the answer that we will save ourselves but, well....not exactly sure I believe that.

Certainly the feel-good answer. One that would come to most people's lips first - whether they actually believed it or not.

It's the right answer, so to speak. The correct one. The expected one.

The hopeful one.

But I'm not sure how this all plays out. So...

[FiveGoodMen]

32. Yup. That's just how I feel, too.

[GoneOffShore]

36. You are correct, and that's one reason I've left.

I chose my user name back when the Shrub was elected.
And now, I it's a reality.

[irisblue]

33. Really harsh suggestion there

[msongs]

19. he is only saying what is believed by tens of millions of church going americans nt

[Blue_Tires]

20. "Economic anxieties" strike again

[yardwork]

48. Thank you for pointing that out.

[SWBTATTReg]

21. I hope facebook gets alerted and takes this guy off FB. NT

[Grokenstein]

24. Nothing pisses a Republican off more than freedom of expression

Carbon Hill Mayor Mark Chambers posted a graphic that read, “We live in a society where homosexuals lecture us on morals, transvestites lecture us on human biology, baby killers lecture us on human rights and socialists lecture us on economics.”

We also live in a society where pseudochristians punish innocent people for their gender or orientation, straights attack anyone who is different from them, men wrest control of women's' bodies from them and ignorant fascists destroy the economy with trade wars, tariffs they don't understand and tax cuts that benefit only the already obscenely wealthy. ...But hey, don't "lecture" them, it hurts their precious fee-fees.

[jmowreader]

25. I had to look up Carbon Hill

It's a half-horse town twenty miles from Jasper and 50 miles from Birmingham. You wouldn't just drop in on this place for the hell of it; there's an exit off I-22 and once you've left the freeway you'll drive several miles to population. Two thousand people live there. It has thirty Christian churches and no employers outside of a few gas stations and greasy-spoon restaurants. They've got a grocery store, but it's a locally-owned one; it isn't part of any chain and it appears to not be in one of the buying collectives like IGA.

According to Google Maps, it also has no gun store.

We all remember President Obama's comment about people clinging to God and guns. He was talking about places like this.

[MarcA]

34. When I googled the mayor's name and Carbon Hill an article from

from the Daily Mountain Eagle newspaper showed a photo of the mayor with
the headline directly above reading: "CH garbage truck to get new engine block".
Somehow seemed weirdly appropriate.

[Celerity]

43. oh, just saw this this after I posted the pic and the article

37. Carbon Hill Alabama...about 30 miles northwest of Birmingham.-- population 2021

Carbon Hill is a city in Walker County, Alabama, United States. It incorporated in February 1891. At the 2010 census the population was 2,021, down from 2,071 in 2000. This isn't much of a town, but that isn't much of a mayor either. He now is nationally known.

[yardwork]

49. Towns like this are dying because young people leave.

Rural communities can choose to join the 21st century or they will disappear. Their choice.

[TeamPooka]

40. I hope the Mayor resolves his inner conflict about his natural attraction to men.

[Kid Berwyn]

41. When murderous hatred becomes acceptable, you know what's next.

What Hannah Arendt termed “a certain segment of the population” is identified and rounded up. Thanks to Facebook and Visa and Verizon and the rest of our trusted friends in data, it’s easy to find who mayors, governors and preznits might be looking for.

[sandensea]

45. Does Jeff Sessions know about this?

Poor guy must be worried.

[ck4829]

51. Disgusting

[bluestarone]

52. I'm thinking his closet is FULL

This is the type of person, that would have a CLOSET FULL of no good shit!!!

[onetexan]

53. has anybody reported this guy to the authorities?

he needs to be locked up!

[jmowreader]

54. A-hem!

http://www.pinkpistols.org

What Mayor Chambers might want to realize is, it's not just straight white Trump supporters who know where the gun store is.

[47of74]

57. exactly

[Deuce]

58. Thanks for the link...

[Hortensis]

55. Despise and oppose this potential mass murderer by

SAYING NO TO BIGOTRY AND HATEMONGERING.

This thread is full of it, and no one indulging should imagine for a moment that their behavior doesn't join with that mayor's in creating the dangerous point we're at.

[MissMillie]

56. We live in a society...

...where "good Christian people" think it's perfectly fine to promote violence against other human beings.

I hate to think of the country my grandkids will live in unless somehow we change and I think that will take a revolution.
