Alabama mayor recommends "killing" LGBTQ community in a now-deleted Facebook post

June 4, 2019 / 2:57 PM

The mayor of a small Alabama town is apologizing after he reportedly recommended "killing" members of the LGBTQ community in a now-deleted Facebook post.

Carbon Hill Mayor Mark Chambers was responding to a comment on his original post, which read in all capital letters: "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!"

In a subsequent comment, the mayor wrote: "The only way to change it would be to kill the problem out. I know it's bad to say but with out [sic] killing them out there's no way to fix it."

Chambers' comments come just as the nation kicks off Pride Month.

In a telephone call with the station, Chambers initially denied writing the post. He later backtracked, admitting he was responsible and adding that he believed he was sending a private message, not a public post.

The post, which has been removed, was originally reported by the Birmingham TV station WBRC.

Chambers claimed he "never said anything about killing out gays" but that "if it comes to a revolution in this country both sides of these people will be killed out."

On Tuesday, Chambers issued an apology on Facebook: "Although I believe my comment was taken out of context and was not targeting the LGBTQ community, I know that it was wrong to say anyone should be kill [sic]."

A call and email to the city clerk's office were not immediately returned.

Guaranteed this guy is a pedo or something.
 
Wow, what a sick fucker. He looks like a sick fucker too.

"Oh but it's okay, because I thought I was sending a private message when I posted that"

GTFO 8)
 
There seems to be a group of people on this Earth that forgot World War II happened. Its like they forgot Facism was or is a bad idea.
 
Some particularly extreme people don't seem to be so much ignoring the red flags, but rather feel fascism is totally something they should support.

They aren't afraid their extreme views might be fascist. They know they're fascist and support them because they also knowingly support fascism.

On a semi related note, can I just say how sick I am of awareness days. A lot of them aren't even days, taking up weeks or more.

I'm already well aware of the existence of lgbt people and the horrible mistreatment they suffer along with a great many other social ills. I don't like it and would like to see it stop, but nevertheless I really don't have a very positive opinion of marking specific days or weeks on the calender as reserved for some kind of awareness.

Not when it's so out of control that just about every day of the year is now reserved for something or other.

So marking your doctor's appointment on your calendar is a problem for you?

I said I have a problem with people making specific annual days or weeks of the year into awareness campaigns. I find it hard to take seriously that you sincerely interpreted that to mean having a problem with marking dates on a calender of any sort ever. But if you were being sarcastic I must have missed it.
 
Really? You're being serious?

Dude, I dunno if I'm just explaining it badly, or examining it badly for how you're interpreting it, or you're interpreting it poorly, or what, but let's try this again.

I don't much care for awareness campaigns. Not for subjects everyone is already well aware of. And I'm particularly not a fan of just picking a day or week or more to reserve every year to function as a time to raise awareness.

Important issues are important year round. Awareness days and such seem to me more like an empty symbolic action. Something people can effortlessly use to justify making themselves feel better by promoting it on social media.

It's one thing when it's an issue people really aren't very aware of, and it's one thing when you're actually trying to educate people about an issue. But these empty "gay awareness weeks" or whatever seem so hollow. And there's so many of them that people just tune them out.

Now, pretty much none of that applies to say, making an appointment on your personal calender for a doctor's appointment, or using it to remember an upcoming birthday.

Scheduling things you need to get done on your calender is not an issue to me. Empty awareness campaigns are.

Do you follow what I'm getting at now?
 
I find it interesting that you choose to bring it up in this thread, and not during any of Bluelight's going black for a whole fucking month threads.
 
I said right from the start that it was only semi related to the topic. But then you kept challanging it.

And no, memorials are not the same thing at all. The tone and attitudes and intentions are dramatically different. But even if they weren't. You've again (for like the third time) taken my complaint about global indescriminate vaguely defined awareness campaigns and tried to compare it to something specific and local.

But we're gonna have to agree to disagree. I've made my point and argued this far longer than I ever intended too. I've had enough.
 
Actually there is something else I wanna add. I'm sorry if something I've said has offended you, but for what it's worth, it's not the actual causes I have a problem with. In fact I'm probably generally supportive of most causes people make awareness campaigns for.

I'm just not especially positive about this method of supporting those causes.
 
That dude is a sick fuck. We are all humans. We need to move past this bullshit, its disgusting. Dude tried covering his ass. Pathetically I might add.
