Recall effort underway against Pima County Sheriff Dupnik

I don’t know if it will go anywhere, but a recall effort has begun against mall cop Sheriff Dupnik of Pima County. Ignoring Dupnik’s complete lack of action against Jared Lee Loughner prior to the shooting incident, despite many police visits to his home and complaints, Dupnik’s rant just hours after the shooting that “right wingers” caused the shooting have pissed off people everywhere across the country. Dupnik even called his own state of Arizona the “mecca of prejudice and bigotry.” Dupnik even called Tucson the “tombstone of the U.S.” Not too smart there Paul Blart, err I mean Clarence Dupnik. KGUN reports that an organization called Americans Against Immigration Amnesty (AAIA), has announced a recall effort. Dan Baltes who is the executive director released the following statement:

“Beginning the day of the horrific events in Tucson Arizona that claimed the lives of six and injured so many others,” the statement said, “we were deluged with emails and phone calls from members and non-members in Arizona, as well as across the United States concerning the actions of Pima County Sheriff, Clarence Dupnik. Our members and Americans in general were bewildered by the Sheriff’s shameless political grandstanding and irresponsible comments within hours of this tragedy. As one member of AAIA said, ‘The Sheriff has forever sullied his office, uniform, and badge.’”


AAII will circulate a petition to registered voters in Pima County, with a goal of collecting 100,000 signatures in the coming weeks.
