Covington County Commissioner - District 3 - Tony Holmes is in office after repeatedly making racist remarks. In the comments section of a Facebook post about a Mobile Police Officer being shot in the line of duty, Holmes suggests “the only way to ever change this may be to bring back lynch mobs.” 
 
Definition of lynch per Oxford Languages: verb
(of a mob) kill (someone), especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial.

It is a scary situation for someone that holds so much power to be so openly racist and hateful. 

A Facebook status he made in 2014: “Because I don’t know any other way to do this, let me do it on Facebook. I’m offering my services to the leaders of Ferguson Mo. If you will allow me complete supervision of your police dept. along with your best six sharp shooters I promise there will be no riot. None.”

A Facebook status he made after the rioting & looting began in Minneapolis: “I’m going to make the same offer I made to Minneapolis I made to Ferguson a few years ago. I bring who I need with me, a group of 12-16, we are to do what has to be done, and we’re gone. I certainly don’t agree with what happened to this man. Not at all. But the looting and burning, that’s not an answer.”

Why is this man in office? I urge you to file a complaint against Covington County Commissioner- District 3- Tony Holmes.
