46. Forgiving him doesn't mean allowing him to serve on the school board
Sun Jan 1, 2017, 06:36 PM
Jan 2017

It's adding insult to injury to bring in Dylan Roof after saying that a black woman should be living with a gorilla. But, people saying that they "forgave" Roof didn't mean that they thought he shouldn't face consequences from his actions. Paladino isn't fit to serve on a school board, but we do hope that his soul doesn't burn in hell. Now, go away.
