California school board member who claims to be the 'Messiah' is detained after making chilling threats about 'being executioner for God and killing children'
2023-11-27
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Why did they elect someone clearly mentally ill to the school board, of all things?
  • Jason Vassar, 50, who is a local school board trustee in Tuolumne County, made a series of chilling threats, according to court filings

  • He allegedly mentioned killing children as well as being the executioner for God and made racist and anti-government comments

  • It prompted school officials to get a restraining order against him and start the process of removing him from his role

#7  Rural county adjacent to west Yosemite NP - I bet the campaign budget was $1000 with no deeper look. Won't happen again, you can be assured

#6  Haven't been up that way (pretty white-ish, RINO-ish county) but everywhere I have been in CA I've been amazed at the bovine nonchalance with which a sizeable minority of folks will sign any petition put in front of them. Mesmerizing glare and third eye tattoo would just shift the categories around a bit.

#5  Strange that a schizophrenic guy could get signatures on a petition to get on the ballot.

#4  Simply stated. "California residents elected..."

Besides, just look at the House, Senate and WH and too many US Agency Heads that were Socially Appointed due to their mental oddities.

#3  As someone who attended numerous school board meetings in my capacity as a reporter, I can confirm school boards are a dumping ground for people who could not get elected as dog-catcher or garbage commission member.
