Perrysburg, Oh city councilman Todd Grayson makes jokes about the Rice acts of domestic violence.

Here is a link to a really good Toledo Blade editorial: http://www.toledoblade.com/Featured-Editorial-Home/2014/09/12/No-laughing-matter-2.html

"Here’s a lesson in public-figure etiquette for Perrysburg City Councilman Todd Grayson: Domestic violence is nothing to joke about. Ever. It’s not funny when your next-door neighbor is the victim, nor is it funny when the victim is the partner of a wealthy National Football League player.

Councilman Grayson should know that now. He’s taken plenty of heat online for comments he posted on Facebook about former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, and his wife, Janay. Councilman Grayson’s comments were insensitive and in poor taste. He should recognize that and simply apologize."

Grayson is a Libertarian. His comments are further evidence of his rank stupidity.

it would be smart to insert a (sarcasm) tag line onto your comment. And I can see it as him being an insensitive comment, or a sarcastic comment. A political figure should always use the most caution when posting in public.
