Berea’s Most Dangerous Moms

2 Comments

In an effort to protect the citizens of Berea from the evils that lurk deep in the heart of the city, Mayor Kleem places an urgent Facebook post. He writes about three Berea moms with “troubling ideas.”  These moms must be dangerous.  Whatever it is, it must be bad.  The mayor will tell us more at a later time. Until then we must be careful not to be seduced by “Berea’s Most Dangerous Moms”. 

What is it that makes these women so dangerous? Below are the shocking but true stories of Berea’s Most Dangerous Moms. (Insert spooky music here)

DAUNE JAYNES

First, we have, Daune Jaynes.  Daune had the audacity to… wait for it… and now might be a good time to shield any young eyes from the following, horrific text:

SHE ASKED A QUESTION AT A CITY COUNCIL MEETING!

Yes, really. How horrible!  Well, to be fair, she didn’t ask just any question.  The question embarrassed the mayor and changed a vote by the city council.  Okay- the background: The city-owned this piece of property and the mayor wants to sell it to some developer.  So, the mayor tells city council to declare this an emergency so they can get this thing sold. City council is like Okay- until this Daune lady steps in.  Daune was like, “why were they using an emergency procedure for this?” What was the rush? “Was it because they still owed over $600,000 and selling it for $300,000?” Anyone else interested in this property that would pay more?

Can you believe the nerve of this lady! Daune questioned the mayor about how he uses her tax dollars!  Daune messed everything up.  The city council was now like- this lady has a point.   We no longer have a happy mayor.   

These actions by Daune are very troubling.

MARY BROWN

Public enemy number two is none other than Mary Brown.  Yes, you may have heard of her.  Mary committed the crime of the decade.  A few years back, Mary ran for MAYOR OF BEREA!  WOW! I MEAN WOW!  Lock your doors and run for the hills!  Everyone knows only Cyril Kleem can be mayor.  He is the ‘one’ who shall not be challenged.  To make matters worse, this Mary organized a committed group of people who demanded good government and accountability of elected officials! Oh, the humanity!  Yes, mayor, I’d be upset too.  She is sooo on the naughty list.

ERIKA COBLE

Lastly, and most disturbing is, Erika Coble.  Erika is a…. “Community Organizer”.  O…M…G…  She talks to the community and keeps them informed!  This must be stopped at all costs. In fact, to the mayor’s dismay, Erika organized a group of concerned citizens to foil a development plan of the mayor!  Yes, this happened.   HERE     IN       B E R E A!  

What was the mayor’s Wonderful Plan?  

The mayor and this lady named Kim Smith were working with Omni Corp.  (Let’s just stop there. Who names their company “Omni Corp”? Really? That’s the perfect name for an evil, deceitful, ominous villain. You’re honestly using that name for your company? Okaaay. Whatever.) Well, Omni Corp with the help of the mayor and Kim Smith, was to build a massive 5-story assistant care facility taking up an entire city block on the shores of Coe Lake.  

Erika is like NO.  She organizes a group of like 50 people to say, that’s a bad idea.  City council is now not digging the mayor’s plan.  The mayor and Kim know their plan is dead.  But during the meeting, Erika’s group also uncovered a “secret agreement” where Omni Corp was going to purchase Kim Smith’s house for an “undisclosed sum.” Did I mention Kim Smith is also on City Council?  No? Well, City Councilwoman Kim Smith had this side deal with Omni Corp.  The deal didn’t happen but if it did? (what’s that word again… No, not bribe.  Corruption? Oh no, that’s it- “kickback”).   Yes.    I Know.    Exactly.    I’m upset too- HOW DARE THIS ERIKA DISRUPT THE WORK OF THE MAYOR AND HIS FAVORITE CITY COUNCIL MEMBER.  It should NOT be citizens holding public officials accountable- that’s the job for self-interested politicians. 

The truth is these women are trouble and the mayor should be concerned. They are the good kind of trouble.  You can find out more about them on their Facebook pages below:

Update: Mayor Finally Reveals the “Troubling Ideas”

UPDATE: The Mayor finally revealed the supposed “troubling ideas” of these Berea moms.

THE REVEAL WAS A DECEPTIVE POSTCARD WHERE THE MAYOR SPECIFICALLY ASKS HIS FOLLOWERS TO ACCOST THESE MOMS.

Some have begun to follow through, more on that later- back to the mayor-

The mayor’s argument about this troubling idea is convoluted and dishonest.  It goes like this:  

Two of the moms were endorsed by a local environmental group, the CCPC. But it wasn’t the CCPC the mayor had issues with.  It was a SUPPORTER of the CCPC. Specifically, not the supporter of the supporter, but the supporter of the supporter’s Facebook page had a video on it.  (Are you following all this?)  Okay, this supporter … of the supporter … had a Facebook page and the Facebook page had some video about abolishing the police. 

Do you have a headache yet?   I think I’m getting a headache….

This troubling idea is NOT FROM CCPC.  IT’S not the view of any candidate running for City Council.  BUT this is the view-   (the view on the video on a Facebook page of the supporter of the supporter of the candidate)  that was the “troubling idea” the mayor didn’t like.   So, yes, mayor, these moms MUST be accountable not just for their views but the views of the supporters of their supporter’s Facebook page videos.  Down the rabbit hole we go.

This inference that certain candidates don’t support the police IS A LIE;  ALL the candidates for city council SUPPORT the police and have said so.  The message from the mayor is deceptive, unethical, dangerous, and again, it is a LIE.  Did I tell you his message is a lie?  Well, it is.  If you didn’t notice, I’m kinda mad about the mayor’s lies.  This is corrosive to our city and our democracy.

AND YES, THE MAYOR ASKED CERTAIN OF HIS FOLLOWERS TO ACCOST THESE MOMS. 

The postcard sent from the mayor told his constituents to be confrontational with these Berea moms- in a bold aggressive font, he says to “tell them” the view he alleges they have “ is a bad idea.”  The postcard has caused certain members of the community to follow the mayor’s advice and harass these candidates.   One of the candidates was accosted outside her house by a man on a bicycle.  The man followed her yelling that she was a liar and hated the police.  He stopped cars driving by to point her out and yell at her.  He was just doing what the mayor told him to.

These moms are courageous for what they are doing and for running for city council.  They deserve our respect and our support.  Make sure you thank them for running and making Berea a better place.

    This guy has ruined Berea. He has done nothing but invited the hipsters and entitled from other cities. I grew up in the area, owned two houses here, and now looking to move away. Berea is changing dramatically, and not for the better!
