Thank you Red County & Jubal for promoting the MacLean RECALL

Hey Matt. Can you explain why you have removed all of my April 3rd comments to your recall story?

One of his readers, and I truly believe it to be a member of the Mission Viejo city council feeding him information, has posted a few comments that I responded to. As of 2:30 p.m. they mysteriously disappeared.
Let me share one point that sets Lance MacLean apart from councilman John Paul Ledesma that can be found in the March 6-12 edition of OC Weekly whose front cover reads “go for the throat”.
“UC Irvine Police Department crime report dated Oct 27, 2007, is an account of what happened between Maclean and a co-worker.
“After a short verbal altercation (about 30 seconds) between the two men, MacLean [sic] took a step forward and bumped [Jack] McManus against the chest. MacLean then extended both his arms out and placed his hands around McManus’s neck. MacLean then shoved McManus against the wall and started to lift McManus up while his hands were still around McManus’ neck.”
The police report then says that it took four cops to break MacLean’s grip, wrestle him to the floor and handcuff him over snarls of “Get the f–k off of me; get the f–k off of me.”
Nice conduct by the mayor of our city who was forced to take a class in anger management.

Point one of the recall petition reads: YOU VIOLATED YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES to voters, showing yourself unfit to serve as a City Council member BY EXHIBITING: VIOLENCE when you were arrested by Police for assault and battery on a co-worker.”
What does that conduct and language say about a representative of the safest city in America to raise your family?
While we have instituted a Community of Character program in our city, issuing awards to residents who meet or exceed the dozen qualities, he has violated several of them on a regular basis including the last one which is “self control.”

Sat update before I head out.
Al of my comments responding to Red County are now on that blog post. When I responded to Matt yesterday there were only four comments, none of which were mine if I remember correctly. At this time I have no desire to go there to see if there are any additional MV insider posts.

Matt.
I did scroll down on your post and only saw comments posted by MV Watcher at that time.

Let’s get back to the issue at hand.
We have a RECALL effort that is starting to gather momentum (and signatures). We all acknowledge your demonstrated support of Frank Ury who himself might have been the subject of a RECALL except that he was just elected and the group was told that a recall cannot commence in the first six months following an election of that elected official. Who knows what lies ahead.

For now the focus is on the anger management student Lance MacLean.

PS: Matt. When you finish watching “wag the dog” can you lend it to me so I can return it to Frank or Lance!

AAron.
Frank Ury is hard to analyze. In the Mission Viejo city council election of 2006 he told his supporters, including myself, that he had his “own slate of candidates” who by the luck of the wheel just happended to be first, second and third on that Ballot. He was supporting each of them with an objective of ridding the city of his peers up for election in that cycle. They were Trish Kelley, John Paul Ledesma, and yes, Lance MacLean. I am not the only one that heard Frank make that statement.
With that backgorund perhaps Frank will comment on his change of heart as each of his slate of candidates were defeated.

PS: I did support this effort as demonstrated by my appearance at the OCGOP Central Committee to block two endorsements. I did not oppose John Paul Ledesma’s bid for his reelection.
