Alaskan Human Rights Commissioners Resign over First and Second Amendment Scandal

Marti Buscaglia, the head of the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights, became embroiled in a scandal involving a contractor, Brad Linegar, because of a political sticker. She and two Commissioners have resigned as a result.

On 14 March, 2019, she left a note on the windshield of Brad Linegar's work truck, using her business card, calling a pro-Second Amendment sticker “offensive”. The note was buttressed by the business card of the Chief Probation Officer for Region III in Alaska, Kendall Rhyne.

Then Buscaglia indicated the contractor should not park his truck in the parking lot. It has been reported she sent an email to the owner of the building, who had contracted with Linegar's business, Sage Mechanical, and asked the owner to “do something” about the company. From facebook.com

The email also accused Sage Mechanical of performing substandard work and exercising poor judgement.

These people are truly nuts. They have no principles, no shame. Hard to recognize this country for what it once was.

Mr. Linegar appears to have been defamed and should take appropriate legal action. You know they sure as hell would.

I’ve urged the governor to eliminate this useless, wasteful commission. Note, this woman was suspended without pay for only 2 weeks, and then she just chose to resign. She said she was contemplating retirement anyway.
I hope to see the Governor speak in North Pole this coming Friday. If I get a chance, I’m going to ask him about it.

If a civil war breaks out in the U.S., I’m speculating that any @sshole who ever served on a “human rights commission” would do well to flee the country.

Seems like a prime opportunity to get rid of this commission.

It’s Alaska. Don’t these Democrats realize that sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you?

I don’t understand why an extra-judicial judiciary is allowed to exist, in the first place.

If the bears are finished hibernating for the season, no need to wait for the ground to thaw.

The left wing loon was a transplant from the left coast. They “fell in love with Alaska” while visiting apparently, then decided to live there and become a permanent affliction on the unfortunate natives.
