So the TPM president was not there? Then it's third party hearsay he's spouting and nothing more. Let's say for a moment his version was accurate. He'd still be making claims of racial discrimination against not only this guy but the police as well, without any evidence whatsoever. Just his word that it's "fact". Seems anyone who disagrees with him is instantly racist because they disagree. That's the very definition of a bigot. He also contradicts himself claiming police and the justice system are racist. But then says he's going to sue civilly. If the justice system were racist you wouldn't feel comfortable suing. When he inevitably loses that civil case too, he'll come out calling it racist again. I don't know who the candidate in question is. I don't know what did or did not happen to her. Political intimidation has no place in a democracy. I feel bad for her if she has been receiving threats. But I feel even worse for her that she's tied herself to this blow hard muppet. First thing I'd do if I were her is distance myself from the TPM president and make clear he does not speak for me. If this is a tiny community we're talking about, and the man in question is her neighbour, how do we know it isn't normal in that area to walk into each others homes? The spouse answered the door, where is he to give a first hand account and answer questions? You can't make a big deal about this publicly, then claim it's a criminal investigation so you can't say anything. This just seems so disingenuous.
