A racial slur was used at the Shasta County Board of Supervisors meeting on
Tue., May 30, 2023. (KRCR)
0

REDDING, Calif. — Tuesday's Shasta County Board of Supervisors meeting was
disrupted when speaker Alex Bielecki used the n-word during a public comment,
which led to an African-American Nathan Blayz being escorted from the meeting
for protesting.

Blayz, a frequent speaker at supervisors' meetings, was sitting in the front row
when he responded to the use of the racial slur by shouting and calling Bielecki
a "racist piece of expletive."







Board Chair Patrick Jones said he ejected Blayz for being disruptive and allowed
Bielecki to finish his commentary because it was protected under his right to
free speech.

District 2 Supervisor Tim Garman said he's concerned about the potential
backlash: "It's already making national news, and my fear is we are going to
have protestors come to our town at some point. And I just pray that they can
remain peaceful and have peaceful protests if it gets to that point."

"I'd rather not have any protests, but this story is not going to go away. While
I wholeheartedly support our first amendment right to free speech, the
intolerant speech in our chamber yesterday does not reflect its values," Garman
continued.

"I would like to apologize to Nathan -- Nathan I'm truly sorry for what happened
[Tuesday]," he apologized. "I completely understand why he was compelled to
speak out. Nathan is a frequent attendee of our board meetings and has never
caused a problem. He did not need to be escorted out in the way he was".

The United Way of Northern California (UWNC) also issued a follow-up statement
Wednesday.

> United Way is deeply concerned about this incident and the way it was handled
> by the Board. UWNC stands firmly against racism and bigotry in all forms...the
> agency believes public discourse that is free from divisive and intimidating
> rhetoric is essential if our communities are to deal effectively with the
> challenges of today’s society. Americans’ right to free speech doesn’t mean
> anyone can say anything they want at any time in a public setting. Indeed,
> allowing the use of racial slurs creates an intimidating environment that
> inhibits free speech, not promotes it.
