I think this is a useful piece that shows the character of the Port Townsend mayor... and it’s shocking to me how such an unserious person is tasked with being a representative. The fact that this person wasn’t even ELECTED by the people is mind-blowing. There should be a campaign to press the city officials that put this man in a position of authority. THEY need to be pressured to account for his public Tweets. If he won’t respond in a serious way, those officials need to be put on the spot & asked about his responses on social media. Most towns/cities have standards for social media by officials. This guy isn’t acting in good faith to reasonable concerns relating to the safety & dignity of women & girls. Make the others defend this, they’ll realize their own political futures are on the line.

One more thing... I think a lot of times these Progressive men take it for granted that the only ones pushing back are women. Once they have to face fathers & grandfathers that aren’t okay with a male-bodied person “supervising” little girls in states of undress, they’ll feel less bold. Yes, it’s probably evidence of sexism, but it’s a fact that many men react to other men differently than they do with women.

Thats what i saw today. These very weak males were more than happy to get in the faces of women, older women, shove them around, push them to the ground. Did they try it with me, someone who can stand his own ground and fight back? They did not.

They should have been horrified. The protester behavior was demented and warped. Their cause wasnt helped by today.
