This thing is going crazy on FB, looks like someone could lose thier job as she should. Alaska State Commission for Human Rights 11 hrs · Earlier today we posted a sticker that we read as racist that read "Black Rifles Matter." It offended many gun owners who felt we were against the second amendment and the right of citizens to own guns. Please know that is not the case. Our concern was with the connotation of the statement to the Black Lives Matter movement. We know some of you were offended by the post so we removed it.

Yep- now there is a department ripe for Dunleavey's hatchet. Seems to me one employee would be plenty. Assuming that one person actually did some work other than cruising the parking lot looking for something to be "offended" by.
Both these yo-yos should be terminated.
Didn't Dunleavey demand resignations from all appointed state employees at that level? Dust 'em off and activate!

I’ve been following this since last night. Dunleavy just opened an investigation into it. I like the comments about how black guns matter is racist, that is until it’s pointed out that the founder is black. Gets real quiet after that.

And I found this on that article from MustReadAlaska. Governor Mike Dunleavy 3 mins · After review of a post made on the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights social media page yesterday, my office has requested the Department of Law launch an immediate investigation into the matter. Protecting an individual’s constitutional rights, including the 1st amendment, is of the utmost importance to this administration.

Did anyone open the link to the Orange County Register? Seems she was hired then fired for lying about her education.

Would have posted this earlier but was on a tablet... https://www.ocregister.com/2007/06/27/buscaglia-will-not-join-register-as-new-publisher/Buscaglia will not join Register as new publisher Marti Buscaglia By ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER June 27, 2007 at 3:00 am Marti Buscaglia will not become the Orange County Register’s new publisher because she misrepresented her educational qualifications on her resume, said N. Christian Anderson, current publisher and president and chief executive of Freedom Orange County Information. Buscaglia’s resume listed graduation from Lima University in Peru. She has been publisher of the Duluth News Tribune in Minnesota for five years. She was slated to join the Register on July 9. Anderson said the company had received Buscaglia’s resume from executive recruiters when she was considered for other jobs within Freedom Communications Inc. the Irvine-based nationwide media chain that includes the Register. Anderson and Buscaglia declined today to say how the misrepresentation came to light. “I take full responsibility for it,” Buscaglia said in a phone interview. “It’s one of those things you put on a resume when you are young and stupid and you can never take it back.” Anderson said, “I regret the information came to light after we had announced Marti’s appointment (on June 6) that precludes our being able to move forward with this decision. “Credibility is a hallmark of Freedom and our products,” he continued. “We agreed that this breach would make it impossible for her to fulfill her responsibilities.” Anderson has been publisher of the Register for eight years and had hired Buscaglia for that role so that he could concentrate on interactive media, specialty publications and commercial printing services for Freedom Orange County Information, the umbrella division that includes the newspaper group. All are part of Freedom Communications. Hiring a new publisher was intended to be part of a company-wide initiative to respond to the rapidly changing media environment as newspaper circulation declines and readers turn to the Internet and other sources for information. Anderson will continue as Register publisher but “it would make sense for us to look for another publisher,” he said.

Doing a quick check on the other card finds something interesting... head of 54 staff positions. Guess I find it more telling than interesting in light of the stories from friends of mine working under him. Things like the guard that gave Israel Keyes a razor and did not follow up on it was not reprimanded in any way, yet an officer that made his rounds and failed to notice Keyes cutting and strangling himself under the covers did. Care to guess which was a person of color? Care to guess the general attitude of many guards I know? Yes, I get it that Probation and Prison Guard is not the same position, but how likely is it the entire system is as rotten as any particular section? http://www.correct.state.ak.us/probation-paroleHOME ADMIN SERVICES COMMISSIONER INSTITUTIONS PRETRIAL REENTRY PAROLE BOARD PROBATION & PAROLE HEALTH & REHAB SERVICES CONTACT State of Alaska > Department of Corrections > Probation & Parole PROBATION AND PAROLE The mission of the Division of Probation and Parole is to enhance community safety.

Things got a lot more real for old Marti... She thinks she gets to seek out and eliminate anyone's speech? And that bumper sticker could possibly rise to the level of hate speech? I suspect I know what really happened, but this is just a WAG, so it must be true... the two were likely a little buzzed coming back from a romantic two-martini lunch and thinking with hormones and Kendall had to go and act all offended and the situation got away from them. Remember, you read it here first... https://www.apnews.com/e551fbcc167b4c95a6e8440b7a23fd64Click to copyhttps://apnews.com/e551fbcc167b4c95a6e8440b7a23fd64 Alaska Business Gun politics Social media post over rifle sticker in Alaska causes uproar By BECKY BOHRER today JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A social media post by an Alaska human rights official questioning the appropriateness of a sticker on the back of a truck reading “Black Rifles Matter” has caused an uproar, with Gov. Mike Dunleavy calling for an investigation. Marti Buscaglia, executive director of the state Commission for Human Rights, said the truck was parked outside the commission’s building in Anchorage. She said she thought the sticker was racist and posted a picture Thursday on the commission’s Facebook page asking, “In what world is this OK?” Buscaglia said she used her business card to write a note that was placed on the truck, hoping the owner would call her. The note asked that the truck with the “offensive” sticker not be parked in the lot. Brent Linegar said when he found the note on his truck he chalked it up to people having opinions. But he said he was bothered when he learned of the post on the commission Facebook page, which he felt maligned him. Linegar had understood the stickers, which are on several of his trucks, to be about gun safety and “Second Amendment awareness,” he said. “I was like, man, I can’t let that slide,” he said. Linegar, who has a plumbing and heating business, posted a picture of the note on his Facebook page and asked if he was missing something: “I thought this sticker was a pro-second amendment statement? Someone tell me if I’m completely wrong!” He also said there was an email calling the sticker racist. In an interview Friday, Linegar, who said he had been doing general repairs at the building, said Buscaglia wrote the building owner asking that the company be banned from the property.
Buscaglia acknowledges writing an email but said it included a number of complaints about Linegar or his employees. Buscaglia said she told the owner, who wasn’t sure how to respond, that they could hire a different heating and air company.
The commission’s Facebook page has been inundated with comments. Buscaglia took down the initial post, writing on Facebook that it offended many gun owners who saw the post as the commission being against the right to own guns. “Please know that is not the case,” the new post read. “Our concern was with the connotation of the statement to the Black Lives Matter movement.” Buscaglia said the commission’s aim is to seek out and eliminate discrimination, and she considered the sticker to be a discriminatory statement. She said she never intended to step on anyone’s constitutional free speech or gun rights.“I think the line between being protected by the First Amendment and hate speech is very fine,” she said. “And frankly I wasn’t sure which one this was.”She said, in hindsight, she could have worded the initial post differently. She shared on the commission’s Facebook page Friday Dunleavy’s statement calling for an investigation. She said in an interview that she will cooperate. Dunleavy spokesman Matt Shuckerow said by email that a “thorough, fair and impartial investigation is being conducted to ascertain all relevant facts that surround this matter.” Linegar said he considered the situation hurtful and inappropriate and hoped state officials would “make it right.”

She said she never intended to step on anyone’s constitutional free speech or gun rights. At least in retrospect.

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

It’s my understanding that the ‘Black Rifles Matter’ slogan originates with Linc Sample of Boothbay Harbor, ME.

Individuals in positions of public or private authority who make personal judgments on what speech they consider either of value or deserve suppressing with penalties attached to their negatives views need to be fired, fined, and jailed for up to two years for infringement of a people’s 1st Amendment right of free speech. 😎
