    MAGAt Map is like Family Watchdog. It provides locations to avoid for safety.

    The Ohio Sheriff is advocating lists for retribution and mob violence using a position of power.

    I hope you can see the difference.

          Nah, I can’t think of anything negative happening based on a list of people, their beliefs, and addresses especially not in the 1930s

            Do you actually know what you’re talking about? Do you have anything other than opinion and unsupported questions to offer?

              I didn’t ask a question, so there’s that. Just a suggestion: maybe you should ask yourself how you will make sure that your map is not used for mob violence and how you can make sure that unvetted and outdated information doesn’t hurt innocent people. Shitty ideas don’t get better by good intentions.

                You’re right, my bad. I thought you had asked a question and when I reread I was wrong. Those are good questions. I still don’t think this is a shitty idea with good intentions. It might just be a shit idea. Voting hasn’t helped. Working with police hasn’t help. Advocacy and protests haven’t helped. Community hasn’t helped. This is just another try.

                Adding property records allows for a way to keep outdated information pruned. If the property sells, it can be removed.

                Also, nothing on the website advocates violence or retaliation. Do you feel Family Watchdog should be taken down?

                  I’m sure the sheriff hasn’t “advocated” for violence and retaliation either.

                    Reading the article, it’s easy to see he has. Looking into his racist rhetoric, it’s easy to see he has. Looking at his history… you guessed it!

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Negro_Motorist_Green_Book

              Green wrote his guide to services and places relatively friendly to African Americans

              Green founded and published the Green Book to avoid such problems, compiling resources “to give the Negro traveler information that will keep him from running into difficulties, embarrassments and to make his trip more enjoyable”

              You’ve completely twisted the reality of what that book is. This was a guide on safe places, not your dystopian private citizen political tracker you’re trying to promote.
