An Alaska antimask activist who recently called a gay Anchorage official a cocksucker has died of COVID-19.
Paul Kendall, who ran for office several times without success, used the slur toward Chris Constant, a member of the Anchorage Assembly, during a September 29 meeting on a proposed mask mandate for the city. The assembly is Anchorages governing body, similar to a city council.
At the meeting, many residents who opposed the mandate spoke to the council. When Kendall took the mike, he said to Constant, I thought you were just a cocksucker, but youre a coward, as documented on video by The Alaska Landmine, a news website. Some people cheered Kendall, who was then escorted from the building. He was later arrested for trespassing.
Ive been called worse by better, Constant, who supports the mandate, said when the meeting closed.
The part that in fact shocked me to silence was when roughly 200 people cheered zealously, Constant said the next night, as the assembly met again to take more public comments, TV station KTUU reports. That was the part that zinged me and really took my breath away for a minute.
Mayor Dave Bronson apologized for not speaking in Constants defense at the time, saying he was caught off guard. What was said was intolerable, and it shouldnt have been said, Bronson said.

(22,133 posts)anti-mask thugs, who are shouting down any reasonable discourse/discussions about mask mandates, etc.
Those on the side of law and order, on the side of public health, etc. are being pushed to the side and are being ignored, as well as
being threatened, and/or worse, simply because of discussing common sense steps to stem the spread of the disease.
And of course we all know the results of ignoring common sense measures to avoid catching a deadly disease. You catch COVID and you either get lucky, don't catch it, OR get seriously ill and/or die.
All for making a idiotic public statement of support for djt and his idiotic policies that resulted in killing hundreds of thousands of people, which IMHO wouldn't have happened if djt had moved more quickly and more aggressively to stem the disease spread.
"Typhoid Donald" will be remembered in the journals of history as one of the greatest mass murderers of our times, all so he wouldn't look 'bad' and not win the presidential election of 2020 last November.
