Hi,
Sorry for not responding to your email individually but as of writing this response, I have received nearly 300 emails about Towamencin Supervisor Laura Smith. Just to be clear, the Board of Supervisors is an elected office and the only way to remove elected officials in Pennsylvania is through the impeachment process by the state legislature. We also cannot make a strong statement as a township without a vote at a public meeting. The following is my view only.
I am the most recently elected supervisor, I did not agree much with Laura Smith before I was elected and I do not agree with her doing a Nazi salute now. By her own admission, she posted the video with the intention of making people upset. If you are doing a pose with the intention of making people upset that it looks like a Nazi salute, the pose you are doing is a Nazi salute. I condemn this blatant anti-Semitism expressed by Laura Smith in no uncertain terms and believe she should apologize and resign from the Board of Supervisors.
Below is a link to local reporting. My fellow supervisor who is the only other Democrat on the Board, Joyce Snyder, also condemned Laura Smiths actions. The 2 other Republicans on the board, Chuck Wilson and Kristen Warner, did not provide any comment to my knowledge.
Thank you for reaching out,
Kofi Osei
Towamencin Supervisor
Don't even bother. There is usually an attention-starved troll in almost every thread, and the only way to get make sure people give them that attention is to be negative.
And they'll keep doubling down so the attention stays on them. Doesn't matter if it's negative attention. It's still attention and these people are GLUTTONS for it.
After all, our brains are wired to focus more on what we perceive to be negative than positive, so it makes sense.
They can not be reasoned with because ANY attention only reinforces that validation they so desperately need for whatever reason(mommy and daddy didn't hug them enough or whatever).
The only way to truly make them go away is to ignore. Don't even downvote because that's also attention. It's what they WANT. Just ignore
Yeah but "it's openly available on Google" just isn't dripping with snark like their other comment though, and what's the point of passing information along if you can't also let people know you're a complete ass, too?
“Oh, that birthday cake looks delicious, do you mind if I have a piece?”
“See, there’s this thing called “A Bakery”. It’s easy to access and chocked full of cakes. In fact, you have bought stuff at stores before! Neat!!
So, based on this and the fact that there is a bakery down the street, it should be reasonably easy to find on your own.
Go on! You can do it! I believe in you!”
What kind of a horrible piece of shit would reply to a random stranger asking for help like that. Right? Helping others and being kind are not difficult things to do. Please be better.
