Small town conservative Friendswood makes the news over drama surrounding their parade grand marshal selection.

Show me proof of the death threats and threats of violence against her or her family.

Until then- I have no problem with people objecting to a selection they disagree with as long as it is done nonviolently and neither should you.

As a former Friendswood resident, it smells awful fishy to me.

Friendswood, like Doss, is one of those towns that never really goes away on these boards.
Trump will fix it.

I am amazed at the lack of vetting that occurred when choosing this Grand Marshal. How they thought this would play well with the folks of Friendswood is beyond me. This was a big controversy here last week, mainly on social media. We won't be at the parade tomorrow but I'm sure there will be a few signs held up for both sides.

Can't remember who initially pointed it out, but they had a long Twitter thread on how the media manipulated the story.

He pointed it out, calling on the people of Friendswood to let the city council know about this person, no threats, no harassment, etc.

City Council releases a statement on Facebook saying there were threats, but provides no evidence of threats.

Houston Chronicles and other outlets pick up to story, report on the threats as fact yet do not bother to confirm with the council of the existence of threats. Just take what they say as gospel.

Suddenly, the guy who pointed out that this ridiculous person was going to lead the parade is actually being threatened himself by a bunch of progressive automaton turdmunchers.

Geez, people. Can y'all provide a little context and backdrop?

Haley Carter, a former marine and professional soccer player, was selected grand Marshall. She is a Friendswood native

Reports surfaced that she took her son to a drag show, and is a big gun control advocate, serving on Sylvester Turner's task force

She stepped down a day later. Local media outlets are saying she received threats

No proof of threats has been provided

Y'all are welcome
