Re: Ward Hamilton - Defender of the Red Raider Slur

You seem to know everything about this family! Positing personal things, she’s an drug addict, the son is severely impaired!! He’s soon to be divorced one thing is to protect the dude but to post **** about their personal life? 🤦‍♂️ SMH!

Re: Ward Hamilton - Defender of the Red Raider Slur

Geezer
Why would you POSSIBLY vote for someone who has withdrawn from the race (White) and didn't even show up for his residency hearing?
If you want to 'protest' the other candidate, at least do a write-in to "show your displeasure".
In the year 2020, why would anyone even CONSIDER voting for someone who rabidly defends racist positions? It's a sad year when the results of a messy divorce are more disqualifying than being the loudest defender in town of perpetuating racism.

Re: Ward Hamilton - Defender of the Red Raider Slur

I am simply saying that it's imbecilic to vote for someone who has withdrawn from the race, for whatever reason!! Is that difficult to grasp?
Why/if he should have or have not withdrawn is a completely different issue!

Re: Ward Hamilton - Defender of the Red Raider Slur

He didn't withdraw.

Re: Ward Hamilton - Defender of the Red Raider Slur

He DID NOT withdraw from the race! You have proof of that?

Re: Ward Hamilton - Defender of the Red Raider Slur

You are clearly responding to resident's post, not that of those preceding yours.

Did you watch the "hearing," as it were or learn of what was said from individuals present or involved parties? Then you would have known some of those details from what was said by the soon-to-be ex, including references to her son's IEP, etc. The city is responsible for turning this into a public debacle with information shared that should not have been, not a melrosemessages post! Have you ever walked the 2nd floor of City Hall and heard what is said by those being paid to represent the citizens--much of it mocking and loud enough to be heard publicly? Nothing has changed since the despicable conduct of RD. The same kind of ignorant, mean-spirited attitudes and conduct continue. If anything it's all even more seedy because RD was wily enough to conceal some of his worst tendencies, while PB really isn't very smart (and GI even less so).
