This is actually been going on for a couple years now. He was elected a while ago. The entire situation is shameful
What? A couple of years?
@@buriedbits6027 Yes, he won the election in 2020. He's been fighting this in the courts for a few years
@@buriedbits6027 yep.
@@buriedbits6027more than a couple
th-cam.com/video/_2gm8Lk_Ocw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=boHKVk99_kYrC-yk Months after she was elected, this mayor can't get access to the village office so the same thing happening to a white female mayor is it racist to
This is absolutely disgusting!
Unacceptable! The DOJ needs to hold them accountable!
Yea right. It’s been yrs. The damage is done.
The DOJ won't even hold themselves accountable, they can't be trusted to do the right thing anymore. They are majority fascist now.
This is wrong. A lawfully elected person, no matter their race, creed or color should be allowed to take office.
Because they're being allowed to , that's why. Arrest and jail the previous mayor immediately. This has been going on far too long!
Literally. If a black mayor did this to a white guy in Alabama he would've BEEN in jail
What? This is illegal and they should be jailed after being put on trial first, of course.
It’s AL, right now the AL state legislature is in open rebellion against the US Supreme Court which ruled that the districting map for US Congress to be used in Nov is illegal.
In fact SCOTUS ruled against this map being used in the 2022 mid terms but the AL legislature used it anyway arguing in June 2022 that it was too late to change for the Nov 2022 elections and the SC gave them a bye provided the illegal districting map was revised for the 2024 elections. Since then the AL State legislature has done zilch and is now again saying ‘it’s too late to change’.
In the background is the fact number of southern states have got together and are launching an action in federal court claiming that the federal courts and federal DOJ have no right to interfere in how states do districting maps.
How many of these "leaders" will be voting for Trump?
Hey, look what Trump did and he's still not in jail! This encourages them even more.
It's not illegal if _Republicans_ do it.
@@epincion and SCOTUS said its ok for them to use it even though it is unconstitutional...
I heard this story nearly a year ago, this is NOT new news and it's disgusting that NOTHING has been done about this. Those politicians should be charged and jailed.
Exactly. This news is way old. They spend all their time and energy investigating and prosecuting ‘rappers’ and one dumb @ss Karen yet news like this fades to the archives.
What the lady fail to report that it's only a town in name only the reason these people are still leading the town is because they're the only people putting money into the town because there is no City Hall there is no bank account they do not collect taxes so the self-appointed leaders even though it doesn't sound bad they are the only ones put the money in the town because there's no business it's only designated as a town so that the citizens don't have to pay county taxes. If they are businesses as I said the town collects no tax if they collect no money again the only money that is going in there from the leaders is what the leaders are putting into it. That's why there ain't no real election there.
Your Best shot how many towns are only towns in name only all over the US and it's like that there is no election because it's the same people for so long they don't see the point in having an election so when you demand unless they don't have no system in place to do an election and again they don't collect no tax money so they have no incentive to put their own personal money into election they may lose. so then if you want an election you have to get to State to fund an election in those towns. And there's a red they have decided to take it to the courts or to some government agency that description to be in the town.
If the republicans keep on getting elected it’s NEVER going to get better for Blacks who are just as good as anybody. I’m white and I stand behind them 100%

More like the US Army's job to liberate this Rogue Terrorist Town on American soil.
Sounds like a matter for FJB

This would be a direct violation of the oath they swore to uphold, Arrest them
They swear all the fucking time, what do they care about their word?
How is this happening in this day and age without consequences?
Because of who you vote into office.
@@mikek0135that’s honestly ironic considering this situation
MAGA.
For someone like me from another democratic country, this story sounds like something out of a bad Hollywood movie - completely hair-raising and unreal. It sounds like the civil war has only just ended.
Bad that it would be so darn frustrating to watch. The story would make a very interesting movie.
@christinakrueger5545 - To the "white nationalists" types, the Civil War _HAS_ just ended.
For certain southern "red" states it never did end... anyone flying the rebel flag is a terrorist.
Semper Fidelis
Not that the civil war just ended - but the loser actually won.
Yeah, we have a lot of that "this looks like a bad movie" going on around here.
I believe this is where sending in the national guard to regulate this town is appropriate, if the police obviously won't do their job. This is the breakdown of democracy on a town level. The democratic process must be upheld.
The Alabama National Guard?! Maybe not.
Kay Ivey, the Governor, is a proud racist.
@@mavigogun - Racist or not, she still has to uphold the law. And by the way, with all the right-wing complaints about President Biden's age, I notice they have no problem with hers.
The town council and outgoing mayor were stopped to follow the law too. We can see how that turned out versus their racism@MossyMozart
Police are all in on it!
Deplorable, federal DOJ needs to step in immediately! Do Better America!
The DOJ is too incompetent to do anything. Garland is useless.
Perhaps in Alabama they consider this is a matter of ‘states rights’?
@@angies.7689 Lol... sounds likely! BTW, Alabama was the last state to still fight tooth & nail for 'states rights', as late as the 1920's when it was discovered that a county in W. AL still had 'slaves'... and nobody ever questioned it.
DEPLORABLE MAGA KLAN!!!!!!!!!!
@@angies.7689 There is no states rights that prevents the lawful democratic election from happening and trying to make it so that the black residents have no say in what goes on in their city. That breaks so many federal laws that I lost count, that city is part of a state which in turn is part of the US and has to follow the laws of this country no matter what they might think of them.
And there it is… Raw *RACISM!*
How has the outgoing mayor and town council not been arrested?
Probably because Boss Hogg, is the Sheriff there. It is Alabama afterall.
I can see that Alabama is still disgracing themselves 60 years later.
160 years. 1864-2024.
They elect Tommy Tuberville…..they are petty
They are defending their race and should be applauded for it
Disgracing themselves forever...if Jesus walked into their town unannounced...would they crucify the little Jewish stranger as a danger to their lily whiteness?
@@RickyLafleur10 - "Race" is a specious concept without any basis in science. Its only purpose is to make one group feel superior to others and you fell for it. And what about the decades of the town's spitting on the Voting Rights Act - you support that undemocratic move, too?
Where the F*ck is the Civil Rights Division of The U.S. Department of Justice? (And where have they been for 50 yrs?) As someone whose family is from Alabama, nothing surprises me about that State. Pathetic
I don’t know the answer to your question, but my guess is 1) they’re busy, mostly because 2) Republicans and their voters refuse to properly fund and support them.
@@lebojay yep 👈
Arrest them without bail.
The judges are on the white bigot's sides.
Who will arrest them exactly if the sheriff/police are on stokes side?>?>
US Marshals
Arrest them for what exactly?
The Democrats are trying to keep Trump off the ballot
Yes
The Federal judge denying the motion is deplorable.
Should be kicked off the bench
Fifth Circuit?
Either way in November he will succeed according to the judge who denied the motion in the first place.
And usual
He denied it out of a technicality. The motion that the plaintiff put forth legally requires urgency. The problem is that he waited a year into the term to do it. So by default, by definition, there wasn’t urgency to the request.
So the judge had to deny the claim. But he did state that they would likely win when the trial starts.
How has this not been taken care of by now?!
This is 2024 right? This is still America right? How have they been able to get away with this for so long? Am I missing something?
I don't think s... Oh yeah... It's "The South". You forgot to add that to your equation. Now with that piece, put it all together. What do you get?
Yes you are missing it probably because you are young. I'm in my mid 80's and have watched since WW 2 while the GOP worked to get certain people elected to fill ever greater power positions. The democrats neglected to or weren't smart enough to see what was happening. GOP wants a dictator and some parts of our country want control of education (books and what is taught) and on and on. I think Jan 6 just brought all this need for total control to light. Wake up America . THE GOP wants another Hitler. We must vote BLUE all the way to get rid of the putin ,Hitler and Trump dictators and the rest of the criminals this election. It took them a long time to get this much control and they will never give up.
The mayor's mistake was not calling for backup. My first call would have been to Al Sharpton and my second call would have been to the national press corps.
Complexion Is The Misdirection Without Ever The Confession!!
The part you are missing is the mindset of local law enforcement. A law does not mean anything if it is not enforced.
My state governor passed a law against assault rifles. The mayor of my town said he would tell the local police force to NOT LIFT A FINGER to enforce the law.
The mayor told the police force to totally ignore the law.
DOJ needs to get involved! This is absolutely DISGUSTING!!
This is disgusting! Please tell me these people are headed to Federal prison for hate crimes and civil rights violations.
No, they’re not and yes they should be.
@@teresas8173at this point the US is a failed State seeing what happend after January 6, that Trump is still walking free and everything going on in the SC and other courts
THat's should be considered Treason against democracy or something.
I mean are we really surprised by anything racist happening in Alabama?
😂😂 I think you said it best. Like for real at this point no one should be surprised about the Alabama the Evil. I live here and it's horrific.
Welcome to the RepubliKKKlan state, where "if it ain't white it ain't right"
We SHOULD be surprised and be upset, but your point is not only valid but sad.
You mean in Amerikkka?
I mean the same thing nearly happened at our national Capitol. So it's not just alabama.
How is it not urgent that the rightful lawful government be allowed to operate?
Republicans don't like government and it's their job to see to it that government does not function.
Urgent would likely mean an active threat to life, liberty, or property. It sounds really messed up, but I actually think the judge was right in saying if you cant show that the injunction will prevent actions against those things, then its not right to make any moves until everyone has their day in court. But at least the judge preliminarily agrees that they will likely easily win in court. Sounds like a typical good ole boy system finally getting uprooted.
Blacks in the whole state of Alabama need to vote. Jim Crow is very much alive in the south.

I'm a black man in Illinois, and unfortunately, some black people are going to vote for people like this!
Every MAGA I have met is racist. They, their cult leader politicians, social media such as X, LIES Social, cable such as Fox Lies, NewsMaxLies, etc have independents and many Dems fooled into thinking the USA isn't racist. Even schools renamed after George Floyd are starting to be renamed back to honor confederate scum & insult students (the original purpose of the names) against the wishes of most the students who aren't racist like the MINORITY that are forcing this on the school board.
@@calm1047that’s so sad to hear. I wish they could see that they are being lied to. I hope they might change their minds as things get more exposed and brought out in the open for everyone to hear and see firsthand.
Yep, it never died, but tRumpism has made them feel they can OPENLY do this.💙🇺🇸vote
Evangelicals?? Yeah, right! Backwards Alabama is out of control! SMH
Evangelicals is about right. Religions always use their god to justify killing, enslaving (e.g. old testament, southern states), stealing from the territory of (e.g. Indians) and destroying others. One of the things all Religious Groups have in common is the bad place THEY WILL ALL GO AT DEATH by the word of their own tome, that they say all OTHER people will go.
They voted in that weirdo creepy lady that gave the State of the Union rebuttal.
You know those "good" "Christian" values of slavery genocide and bigotry the USA was founded on
The South just can’t join the 19th century 😂🤣
The so-called "Christians" strike again.
Now that is one very corrupt federal judge. No urgency. Give me a break.
Why is THIS not all over the news channels?! This makes me angry! 😡😡😡
Because it’s sadly about black people. The news in the US… doesn’t care
This need to go to the Supreme Court where they can make it legal
How does the US even think it is a democracy

Disgusting. Get the courts involved and arrest ANYONE who denies his elected responsibility.

They did get the Court involved. No one was arrested.
Put them in prison
That's treason and needs to be treated as such.
This is absolute madness. Thank you for reporting on this.
I’m white & this pisses me off. No certain race should control or own our votes. The people spoke. This man deserves his job😡😡😡 This sounds like segregation to me….
It's really sad that there's still people in this day and age still clinging to their bigoted attitudes. These people are in the minority and are using gerrymandering and other despicable methods to keep themselves in power and unfortunately there's far too many judges willing to forgo the law and put their bigoted beliefs above it to keep this minorityin power. When will people realise that skin colour is only a pigment and has nothing to do with stature or intelligence. Thank goodness there decent people like yourself who fight against bigotry and discrimination.
I mean... Did the people speak? He ran unopposed and he appointed the council because nobody ran. Sounds to me like the citizens are too used to not voting. And the leadership is too used to having way too much power.
The feds will step in. President Biden will get word sooner or later but he’s kinda busy at the moment.

Awful state. Rascists ⚠️

People, not god, teach religion and can teach however they choose. Glad your particular institution pushed tolerance instead of hatred.
Fake christians like those in Alabama pretend to believe in god, but that's totally acting.
Words fail me, I'm stunned that such blatant racism can not only exist in today's U.S.A. but that the judicial system seems to conspire with the perpetrators to deny the lawful implementation of the transfer of power. But, wait, didn't something very similar happen in Washington D.C? So, I shouldn't be surprised since the shocking example came from the very heart of what should be the fountainhead of justice and democracy in America. I despair, I really do. Wake up America!

@@MrGST360 Hi there. I live in the UK which is far from perfect but, such blatant racism wouldn't pass unchallenged and I like to think would be condemned by the majority of people. There is racism, don't get me wrong but, it's usually on an individual level. Not state sanctioned and encouraged.
