A scandal is developing in Alaska, as the head of the Human Rights Commission (HRC) has been implicated in directly chilling the exercise of the First and Second Amendments of the Constitution. Governor Dunleavy has ordered an investigation of the scandal.
The head of the HRC, Marti Buscaglia, became upset over a bumper sticker on a contractor's work truck. The bumper sticker showed the silhouette of an AR15 type rifle, along with the words “Black Rifles Matter.” It is a pretty standard call to support the Second Amendment. Brenton Linegar owns Sage Mechanical, the small plumbing and air conditioning company that owns the truck. Sage Mechanical's client is the owner of the building where the truck was parked. The HRC rents space in the building. Somehow, the Executive Director of the HRC in Alaska interpreted the Second Amendment sticker as being offensive.
The picture of the Second Amendment sticker of Black Rifles Matter on the truck, with the license plate, was posted on the official Alaskan HRC facebook page, with the comment: “In what world is this OK?”.
At first, it was not clear what Buscaglia found offensive about the bumper sticker. Was it the pro-Second Amendment message? No. The HRC, after considerable comments on Facebook, clarified Buscaglia had read the sticker as “racist.” The best reporting I have seen on this issue is on mustreadalaska.com.

About time someone shouted the Emperor is naked!
These "Human Rights Commissions" are some of the biggest abusers of Constitutional Rights on the planet.
“human rights commisions” are unelected, unaccountable homofascist Democrats who get to witchhunt and stage tribunal prosecution of private citizens and businesses on the public dime.
Carpet bagger?

The 61-year-old (Marta “Marti”) Buscaglia has been the vice president of advertising for the Anchorage Daily News for the last two years.
Buscaglia said she and her husband, Tim, have fallen in love with Alaska over the past few years, and she’s excited to join the News-Miner.
Buscaglia was president and publisher of The Duluth News Tribune in Duluth, Minnesota, from 2002-2007.
Before that, she served in senior management positions at the Baltimore Sun, St. Paul Pioneer Press, Long Beach Press Telegram, El Paso Times and Gannett Suburban Newspapers in New York.
Hopefully, she will lose her job because of this.
We have to restore respect for the Constitution.
Yesterday’s liberal: I disagree with your opinions. But you have a right to express them.
Today’s liberal: I disagree with your opinions. You must stop expressing them.
Tomorrow’s liberal: I disagree with your opinions. You will be arrested for expressing them.
Yeah, it looks about like I expected it to look.
Ignore it. And hold it in open contempt.
She’s an old smelly hippie, Jim.
Yesterday’s Conservative:
That’s Fine. And yes I DO have the right.
Today’s Conservative:
That’s Fine. I won’t stop, and I don’t care what you “feel” about it.
Tomorrow’s Conservative:
That’s Fine (click). That was the sound of the safety being disengaged.
All Human Rights Commissioners in any State should be burned at the stake immediately after being identified.
That’s a man, Jim.
I literally pulled my head back in alarm when I saw her picture. Ugly does not begin to describe her countenance.
"It's always the ones with hairy armpits and 4 dogs."

I have had to deal with them a number of times as a subcontractor on city projects. Most racist people I have ever met.
Once they told me I must hire some brothas. I said it is near impossible to hire anyone let alone being able to chose a certain color.
And once I got in trouble because when they to told me to hire brothas I said wouldn’t that be racist to put an ad out for workers and say whitey need not apply?
I plan on telling them now that I identify as a black woman.
“In what world is this OK?”.
My world, beyotch. You got a problem with that?

“She took over the agency....”
I think I see the problem with both her and journalists. They believe bureaucrats are entitlted to take over.
Wow. That b*tch fell through the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
instead of prosecution, perhaps persecution is the better word?
In totalitarian states, women true believers are the most strident and vicious.
First of all..."Buscaglia left a handwritten note, written on the back of her business card. Also, there was a business card left by State Probation Officer Kendall Rhyne."
THAT'S collusion, right there. Investigate.
