Mind you, this is a rural mining town of 900 people. He's probably a popular enough local figure since he runs his crazy militia there. The petition is probably mostly from outside the town, given that it has 20000 signatures.

I say no harm to them, it's not like he's really hurting anyone besides acting like a bit of a boorish idiot.

Considering that he's the town's police chief, I'd say he's a lot less benign than you are making him out to be.

These right-wing militias tend to be Neo-Nazis all but in name (unless they are literal Neo-Nazis, which is possible), and he has them controlling the town.

Small town USA police chief is crazy and ultra-right wing, stop the presses. Haven't you watched Hollywood movies?

Anyway, I'll wait until he calls for Jews/black people to be exterminated or something along those lines before I call him a Nazi.

Yes actually, stop the presses. Crazy people should not be tolerated in any level of government, even local ones. There's a reason why this guy has made the news.

So, we should start a purge then? Because sociological research (IIRC) has shown that people suffering from megalomania and other disorders, have a significantly higher chance to work their way up to positions of power.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. There are still 900 people in his town, and he seems like the type who'd relish hurting those who disagree with him in every way possible...

Another great Scottish invention. Who says our hay day was in the last two centuries? We created Roger Ebert's voice for god's sake.
