New Hampshire lawmaker takes heat over statements favoring cop killing, wife beating

I did a search and did not see this posted anywhere yet, so if it was, excuse me.

From CNN: CONCORD, New Hampshire -- A newly elected representative to the New Hampshire state Legislature has drawn a storm of outrage following the disclosure of comments that include his advocacy of killing police officers.

As New Hampshire's elected state officials took office this week, Tom Alciere continued to defend himself against growing criticism. Alciere, 41, has stated that killing police is justifiable, women who nag should be beaten and children should not be forced to attend school.


This guy ran for office and hid his views until after he took office. Now all the people that voted for him are stuck with him until his term is up. Talk about a wasted vote, those poor people.

I found it funny that the guy once ran as a Libertarian (lost), then as a Democrat (lost), then this time as a Republican.

You can't really bash the NH voters in that district, since I really think that could happen anywhere. People as a whole are miserably uninformed voters. I think about the guy who is our State Rep, and when he first ran he was only 23. He could have been the same kind of guy (but actually is a pretty good rep).

As a New Hampshire resident, I would like to apologize for this nitwit. He's only seeking publicity. He doesn't really represent the views of the rest of us. (I hope)

Actually, they aren't stuck with him. They can always recall him. I don't know what the procedure is for that though.

 

[Fatdog]

Actually, there is no provision for that in our State Constitution. So we're kinda stuck for the moment.

 

[GreenBeret]

Well, you can get your state constitution ammended, and then recall him.

Yeppers, I'm willing to bet you see a faster amendment to fix this, than we see one to fix our education funding problem.
