Sheriff Hall, Learn to Google or Hire Someone Who Can
Kyle Swenson over at the City Paper has the story about how Sheriff Daron Hall was mere days
away from speaking to yet another white supremacist organization, before immigration advocates made him aware of the history--the easily Google-able history--of said organization, thus causing him to cancel.
Sincerely, people of Nashville, how does this happen? Is Sheriff Hall living some kind of Death to Smoochy nightmare? Is there no one in his office who knows how to work the internet? Has he become the go-to guy for white supremacist groups who want to inform their followers about the wonders of 287(g) for scaring the shit out of brown people, now that Sheriff Arpaio is passe?
It's bad enough that he addressed our homegrown racist douchebags, but he was about to travel to address national racist douchebags. And would have, if immigration advocates hadn't stopped him.
How is this not a national PR disaster for Nashville--that our Sheriff keeps accidentally agreeing to espouse the wonders of 287(g) to well-known racist organizations?
And how does the underlying fact of the matter--that the biggest enthusiasts of 287(g) are racist douchebags who can't wait for our sheriff to come tell them all about it--not tell us something about the terrible and embarrassing politics of the program?
