PETITION: Salisbury councilwoman should resign over inappropriate Facebook status!

On Thursday 4/6/17, councilwoman, April Jackson for the city of Salisbury updated her status on Facebook which read "Ya'lls President is RETARDED... He's far pass the Holly Center." She took down the post after 12 hours, but was quoted by WBOC on 4/7/17 (Here) as saying "I just used the Holly Center as a place I know where people have mental illness. I stand by what I said about (President Trump)... Maybe I was wrong for using the Holly Center to say something about (President Trump), but I stand by what I said about him."

Many Salisbury residents have called for her resignation! Specifically because of the very offensive word used in her post to describe those with mental illness.

If you feel that she should be removed from the City Council, if you do not want her to represent you and this city, then please sign this petition!! Also please read the info below (it came straight from the mayor). Thank you everyone!

I have reached out to councilwoman Jackson for comment, but as of the time this petition went live I've received no response.

Bad idea. If April Jackson is removed who will take her seat? Better to keep the idiot you know than replace her with an idiot we don't know.

Lets see if the Salisbury people will do the right thing ?

She does not know the difference between mental illness and developmental disabled! This being so, it's obvious she doesn't have the intellectual ability to be making decisions that could affect the city and it's residents for generations!

Take her out

lmclain said...

"Y'all"???
Is that the same implication as "you people"?

And Trump is NOT her president?

I can't see how this is productive unless it is signed only by those in her district. We all know they won't sign or most anyway. Most of those in her district do not have a value system and lack morals. They demand we do as they say but then say whatever hateful offensive divisive things they want.

She can be removed for one or a combination of three things: malfeasance, misfeasance or non-feasance in the commission of her elected position's duties. If none of these are found to have been committed, she cannot be removed, no matter how disgusting, disparaging or inappropriate her comments are.

Please POST the LIVE city meeting tonight ????????

She is a black lady , an African American , she is a person of color , that being said , set this in your mind and remember what I say. Nothing will be done . the council and the state will allow any and all remarks from these people , you know it and I know it. Remember this statement "nothing will be done" , she will laugh about it and much more vocal in future. Did you know she is related to Shanie ?

7:42, my thoughts exactly!! She doesn't even know what she is talking about, let alone how to spell it. Good luck with that Salisbury, or da'bury, whatever it is being called now

Anonymous said...

I'm more appalled at her grammar! Did she drop out in the second grade?

Jim said...

She's just clearly demonstrating what she is about and showing her own lack of character and class, just like so many on the left that see themselves as so much smarter and better than others.

But that's OK-- it is very revealing to EVERYONE who sees it, whether they realize it or not. In their heart, they know what it is. And in the end, people will finally get sick enough of it to do something about it.

Let me get this right Laura mitcHELL recieved Welfare and worked on the council and Ms Jackson is disabled and works on the Council ? Is the Pt Mayor disabled in some way also ? that would EXPLAIN a lot.

She should resign - failing her performing that proper action, the citizens can and SHOULD recall her!

Meanwhile, based on the laws in effect at the time of the election, President Trump IS the president of the entire country and represents its citizens. If you won't accept him as your president, you should go to another place and elect someone there!

As a public figure, personal feelings mean nothing. If she is unable to distinguish between personal and professional, then she is unable to serve the public.

Please have your resignation on my desk by days end!!

I saw it on Fox News Channel,so it's kinda out there.

Like stated above fact that she does not know the difference between mental illness and developmentally disabled is significant. This is a test to the black community who has regressed by electing such ignoramuses. If they are a no show at the meeting then they are proving they don't care and if they don't care that they are drowning in cesspools of poverty and crime no one else should either. It's one of those they are growing it so let them suffer as they so deserve to, the consequences.

Pt Mayor did not vote April into office. Laura and April were voted into office by residents of their respective districts. Yes her comments were deplorable to those who were ineligible to vote for her. Poll the precincts in April's district and you will see most agree with her opinion. We are free to give our opinions, Because her opinion is the complete opposite of mine is not a reason to be kicked of office. Say a prayer and hope she resigns.

Shouldn't surprise anyone 12:33. That's how they roll. Proof is in the way they are blowing each others brains out on a daily basis in this country. But then they lie and say black lives matter. No lives matter to them unless they can attach a racial aspect to the death.

I've been so over the political correctness. If she wants to use words offensive to some let her. It's her business. If you don't like it vow to do better for yourself. Don't try to change anyone. It's not your job. Stick to yourself and your family and be an example to them so they don't pick up what you determine to be offensive.
What should concern residents more is what's already been stated above. She is completely unaware of whom services are provided for by the Holly Center. As an elected official, the link between her constituents and the greater community she should know without skipping a beat what services are available and for whom. I do and I'm not an elected official, a government worker or someone who has had any use including family for any of the local services available.

I've never lived in Salisbury , always 20 miles away. I've kept up with the city meetings for about 10 years. Never have I ever seen such BS as this city puts out. My wife and I get a kick out of the meetings and LOL many times over. Salisbury government is the laughing stock of America. This black lady doesn't know her a$$ from a hole in the ground , she represents many idiots.

Anonymous said...

She's a hater and what's far far worse then that she hides behind the Bible. She has spent other times on FB trying to create division like with the police and blacks too. She's just another example of most blacks are fake Christians and most black churches are fake churches.

Anonymous said...

Evidently she is going to apologize at tonight's meeting. I say forgive and forget. When they go low we really do go high. Unlike them we not only talk the talk but walk the walk. Let's show them we are the bigger people willing to forgive and forget unlike them who are still blaming whites for slavery among other things.

Apparently slavery is still on your mind as you felt the need to bring it up. If you want to forget slavery then we need to forget any and every thing that ever happend everywhere including the bible. You ready for that? It is what it is. Honestly you should want that part of history erased and forgotten.

The comments provided a lot of insight into the sharp mind and critical thinking skills of the councilwoman. Pretty evident she's not up to the low standard set by her predecessor.

5:01 yes you do most certainly see an abundance of whites committing crimes on a daily basis. The difference is whites don't make excuses for thugs like blacks do! Whites don't go tearing crap up when the cops arrest and/or kill a white thug! Whites go ballistic and make change when a white kills children like putting deputies in schools. When a little black child is killed by a black in a drive by-blacks are silent BECAUSE black lives do NOT matter to them unless it was a white who did the killing and to say otherwise is just more black LIES. Blacks Lies Matter is more like it! Look how many still idolize the Liar Obama. That is a disgrace in and of itself how many blacks overlooked his constantly lying. Disgusting and only proves how low blacks have sunk into the sea of depravity and the complete lack of morals across that race. Disgusting and sickening what they have allowed themselves to sink to.

What a BS apology from her at the city council meeting tonight. She says comments were taken out of context - What? She either said what she said or she didn't, nothing was taken out of context. Apology not good enough, Resign now April, you did it to yourself.

Anonymous said...

Don't want to hear about her excuse for any apology either just can her now, she has never done anything for the citizens of Salisbury, remove her off the council and end her any attempt to run for any office again.

I say STOP all this NOW! I'm a WHITE 54 yr old lady strong President Trump supporter and I say this is getting out of hand if it continues! She apologized and it's not productive for anyone to keep this going! She's human and like all the rest of us NOT perfect! During this the most Holy Week in the Christian faith we should be being examples and showing the area, the state, the country we can forgive and move forward and try to work together to Make America Great Again. I think many of us love Dr Ben Carson who read this site. What would he do! During the primary campaign President Trump wasn't always politically correct toward Dr Carson and he forgave and came together with the President and on to HUD Secretary who will now be working with the President to Make America Great Again. So please please everyone stop all of this and let's try and move forward together and not hold grudges and accept her apology.

Very Sad. If some one did this about a black person they would branded a racist and would be forced to resign. The apologies mean nothing. She has expressed what is in her heart!

Breaking News

Stations 1, 2, 16, and 3 dispatched for a "reported structure fire." It is Delmarva Beauty Academy at 111 Milford Street in the area of Milford Street and a reported shed fire.

Deputy Chief 1 advises that the bridges are up. BWAHAHAHA!! Great planning you dumb clowns. That's about the 3rd time I've heard the bridges were up today!

Is anyone else noticing the pattern or "Reported Structure Fires" that Wicomico Central is dispatching Salisbury for? All of which are FALSE ALARMS! Bob Culver they are your employees so WTH are you doing allowing them to dispatch these false fire calls almost every single day. This is how Salisbury is trying to justify their jobs and prove that the "volunteers can't get out." The volunteers know most of these so called fire are false calls and a waste of their times. The Salisbury Fire Department is going to be charging the County for each of these fire engine and ambulance responses based on the new fire service agreement. Central and the Salisbury Fire Department are constantly abusing their jobs at the tax payers expense. They get enough information from the caller that they know damn well that there isn't a fire. The County is being screwed over by it's own dispatchers and Bob is to dumb to do anything about it.

Now they have volunteers responding from home and putting many lives at risk for nothing.

Now they have 3 paid fire engines and numerous chiefs cars and SUV's racing to the address to get their first. All the meanwhile someone is going to misjudge the speed of one of these vehicles and cause a serious accident.

It's just a matter of time when one of these idiots racing to a false call ends up killing someone. Guess who is going to be named in the suit? The SFD driver, the SFD officers and chiefs, the dispatchers, the dispatchers supervisors, the county council and the County Executive. That's right Bob Culver will be the main person responsible for this law suit.

Her election is the end result of the division into separate council districts in Salisbury, and a good reason return to a single, citywide (at-large) system.
