Charge them with making terroristic threats...

And lock them up

Dude sent 93 pages of emails. Launch him into the sun.

We need to find out what churches folks like this are being indoctrinated in and forcibly shut them down.

"Portillo and another administrator met with Vassar on Oct. 30 to discuss his mental health, along with school board matters. After leaving, he sent them emails with a total of 93 pages of comments, some of them profane."

Ah yes. That'll definitely prove you are mentally stable.

The Modesto Bee

Tuolumne County

the Union Democrat newspaper

Belleview Elementary School District board

six miles west of Twain Harte

I love an article where none of the handful of geographic clues mean anything to me. These sound like names in a fictional universe. Without just googling, I'm guessing Washington state.

Edit: Ahhhhh, California. "Modesto" should have been my strongest clue.

It should be illegal for conservatives to be employed in positions overseeing children in any way.

Conservatives are notorious for being opposed to science and education. They are infamous for racism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, misogyny, bigotry, sexual assault of adults and sexual assault of children.

We should teach children why it is dangerous and immoral to keep company with conservatives. Never let your child be alone with a conservative. Never.

read in Revelations

They didn't have the reading comprehension to know it's "Revelation", as in "the Revelation of/to John", so....

Imagine thinking christian terrorists read the bible. No, they just find an angry enough loud person to read the violent parts out loud to them.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Undergoing mental evaluation. Yeah, probably a good idea to start there.

[–] BlackSkinnedJew@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 11 months ago

Good, another John Smith.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Time for the guys with that long white jacket. This guy needs some real help asap, but needs to be separated from humanity for safety reasons until he is safe to come back.

[–] clockwork_octopus@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I really hope this guy gets a lot of serious mental help. And also has his guns taken away. And never works around children again.

Save the Children! By killing them?

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Probably carries a copy of Catch in the Rye around with him.

Vassar was appointed to a vacancy on the three-member board in 2015 and won elections in 2016 and 2022.

So this guy wasn't even elected. Someone just put this obviously crazy person in a position of power. God bless America.
