Someone filed Freedom of Information form to get the names of the people who were turning in people who violated covid19 rules, They put the information on a spreadsheet and posted it on the web
Which city, town or municipality did this occur in? How did the agency (whoever it is) know the identity of the complainer, assuming they accept anonymous complaints?
Some people watch too much television and get paranoid. Others who watch too much, go bankrupt, avoid paying taxes and get elected President.
In NYC when you call in a compliant whether it’s to 911 or 311 the operator asks and records the name and telephone number. Even if you call Hatzalah and don’t speak to an operator they will automatically call you back to verify everything is okay, so your phone number is recorded automatically. When this is over lawyers will sue the city for attempting to close back yard and or porch minyanium, at which time all this information will be revealed.
and some people post news without giving a clear opinion.
WA state has some very militant anti distancing/anti confinement advocates. These are the folks who showed up at the state capitol carrying nazi flags and weapons. At their rally at the end of April leaders advocated that their followers use FOIA as a means of finding out who is turing in folks for violating confinement/distancing orders. This has been extensively covered in PNW news outlets. It is not just happening in WA but in ID and OR as well.
I want to add that Glenn Morgan who is the person behind the FOIA requests made by ‘We the Governed’ has a rather unsavory history of harassment of public and private citizens. Among his allies are the Proud Boys who are known anti semites and a well known hate group here in the PNW.
Commonsaychel are you defending the tactics of Morgan and his followers?
Re nOmesorah’s comment about watching television: Best comment of the month.
Re amil zola comment: Here in the Northeast, Glenmorgan is a well-regarded single-malt Scotch whiskey.
Huju, if that were the case here in the PNW I’d be doing a happy dance. Mr. Morgan, the Proud Boys and the 3%ers descended on my little town in an attempt to intimidate our local Jewish population (which is rather small). We had just purchased land for a new school and synagogue. His minions were able to get a hold of a copy of the congregations directory. Many of us were followed, harassed and had anti semitic epithets painted on sidewalks and vehicles.
Common Saychel can have his opinion, Morgan’s minions have never stood on his doorstep yelling ‘death to Jews’. But here and now I will always rat out a neo nazi or racist. And like the last time, if they come to my door I will be armed.
Common Saychel , just a point of information,none of these cretins are my friends, neighbors or community members.
Amil: What if you’re legally armed and they’re legally armed. And they outnumber you.
Yes you can submit a freedom of information request with the NYPD the only problem is that there are thousands of compliant made each day in NYC about social distancing and each compliant is on a different page each page cost $.25. It can be very expensive so unless you are making money out of it, I don’t think you should put in the request.
Well Joseph you make a fine point. I live in an open carry state and for many years had a concealed carry permit. One of the first things taught in a carry class is that you can lose your permit for brandishing. My shotgun kept the racists in place long enough for the cops to come and arrest them. Oh and they did outnumber me.
Amil: Arrested on what charge?
Joseph, hate crime, disturbing the peace, harassment and trespass. Same as what they were charged with at 8 other houses they chose to ‘visit’ under the guise of ‘outreach’.
Common, their message is/was clear, I mean really how else does one interpret ‘death to Jews’? The messenger is tarred simply because of the message. Frankly I’m merely explaining my position based on my first hand experience with a hate group. I will continue to judge Morgan and his minions based on their actions and of course their publicly stated mission.
Dear Common,
Agreed! With friends and neighbors there almost never a good enough reason to report. There is little gain in reporting strangers for gathering during this pandemic. But we got shown up a bit here. Would you report a neo nazi?Amil: Which hate crime was committed that didn’t fall under the rubric of free speech?
How was the charges against them finally resolved? Conviction/jail, dismissal?
How did your shotgun keep them in place long enough for the cops to come?
