Councilman Don Redman: An Embarrassment

[Cricket]

I'm just glad the fool didn't say something stupid about Allah and have us all running for the hills.

Oh I forgot ...  what hills?

[copperfiend]

Cedar Hills?

I believe his district is St. Nicholas and south down Phillips.  Might head as far east as University/Spring Glen. 

I don't think this guy is an idiot.  He knows full well what he's doing.  He's just a total jackass.  "Embarrassment" is a perfect word for him.  If, for argument's sake, the man standing before him WERE a known associate of terrorists, what the heck would be the point of asking him to say a prayer to his God?  It's only done in an attempt to belittle and embarrass him.  Mind-numbingly jackassish.

his district includes most of downtown and east to Tinseltown, SJTC, and UNF

Redman's district is also a good portion of DT.  Its unfortunate that our DT is a smoldering failure and its representative is more worried about a guy's religious convictions instead of fixing the district he represents.

Wasn't Redman the one that wanted to ban outside drinking downtown? He sounds like he is just a mouthpiece for the powers that be at FBC.

Hear hear.

This... for real.. this.

I am sure he is on the Vines family Christmas card list.

You make a great point Stephen.  Imagine his asking a Catholic candidate if he supports molesting adolescent boys and then requesting that he recite 5 Hail Marys during the Council hearing.  Astonishing.

What Mr. Pervez should have done was written his prayer down in english and asked Mr. Redman to read it out loud.

Brilliant.  That would have been illuminating, regardless of the outcome.

He needs to go on record, immediately, with a loud and sincere apology.  Not only for his sake, for the sake of the council, but (Dear God and I am praying here) for Jacksonville, before it is picked up, nationally.

[Shwaz]

Dr. Ahmed should've asked Redman if he's protested any military funerals or local art schools recently.

I think that this really brings out the true color or lack there of in our leadership.  Very embarrassing!  Learn tolerance, end hate.
