Black Republican Candidate Wants to Solve Crime with a 'Noose'

[ariesgem]

George Lambus a 62-year-old, Black Republican mayoral candidate has released campaign flyers that note http://www.ajc.com/news/content/shared-gen/ap/National/Mississippi_Candidate_Noose.html">'crime can only be alleviated by a noose and a stout tree limb.'

This jerk is someone's grandfather ... but, we are glad to note that his chances of winning the June election are slim: the majority-Black city of about 180,000 is so heavily Democratic that no Republican has won the mayor's race in modern history. Yet, Lambus hopes to stand out in a crowded field by packing a silver pistol and talking bluntly about crime.

"Look at recent history, like in South Africa, when apartheid was abolished," Lambus said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. "Blacks went on a crime spree. Other blacks got tired of it ... and they formed vigilantes and they killed people. It brought the crime down."

His pistol nearby as he peered out a window at his decaying Jackson neighborhood, Lambus added: "When you cut your yard, carry a gun. When you go to church, carry a gun. When you go to school, carry a gun."

It is truly a sad state of affairs for the Republican Party that they have a candidate who fails to understand the evil history of lynching in our country.

2. Or they've fooled themselves into believing it's still

"the Party of Lincoln"

3. They'd have to be mentallly ill to believe that! nt

4. Actually the vigilantes have made the situation worse

It's why the government is working on instituting policies ahead of the World Cup to protect people and make sure people don't stay away.

He is clueless.

Another Republican Uncle Tom...what a surprise!:sarcasm:

8. Holy shit, did anyone read this part of the article?

"Still, anti-crime campaigns have resonated in Jackson in recent years: incumbent Mayor Frank Melton won a landslide victory in 2005 on promises to get tough. The mayor even went armed on security patrols through tough neighborhoods. He is now charged with federal civil rights violations for allegedly leading a sledgehammer attack on a suspected crack house."

:wtf:

10. Sounds like the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster.

He needs to stay away from politics, however.
And guns and knives and children and little old ladies and cars.
And rope.

[Idealism]

11. Seriously, this guy should get a DUzy: "sledgehammer attack on a suspected crack house"

That is totally blowing my mind right now. WTF does that even mean?!

[EmilyAnne]

12. I think the key to the whole thing is hidden in this revelation.

He attacked the crack house with a sledgehammer, then proceeded to smoke all the crack.
At least, it appears that way to me.

13. Brilliant! n/t

[JeffR]

14. The guy should get some therapy, IMO.

He may be funny in some sense, but I think he needs serious therapeutic help.

Not all Republicans fall into that category, of course. But most of them do.

[Idealism]

15. I can't even fathom what such an incident would be honestly

I am very perplexed...

[burning rain]

16. You've probably heard it said...

"A Republican would have to be CRAZY to run in such a heavily Democratic area!" This guy just proves it...
