Schuyler County Illinois Sheriff Don Scheiferdecker.
An Illinois gay and lesbian advocacy group called for the resignation of Schuyler County Sheriff Don Scheiferdecker Saturday after he jokingly commented on the picture of a boy on Facebook, calling him a "little fag Jew boy."
The Jacksonville Journal-Courier reported that the sheriff was new to Facebook and did not know the comment could be seen by others. By Saturday, his Facebook profile had been deleted.
Schieferdecker commented on a co-worker's picture of a young boy with his mouth open. The original poster wrote, "Look, I found a fag" to which Schieferdecker responded, "Yup and his mouth is open, his glasses are off, he's ready, little fag Jew boy."
I can only imagine how the residents of Schuyler County must feel knowing that their Sheriff of 30 years would refer to a child as a "little fag jew boy."
A good relationship with local law enforcement relies on mutual trust, and I don't see how anyone could trust a man who would make such a hateful, bigoted comment. Personally, I would begin scrutinizing his entire career history in law enforcement.
In this instance, the term "worst person" feels like it falls short, but the only other terms I would use to describe him are too inappropriate.
