Newton Candidates Should Denounce Anti-Police Activists

Newton Candidates Should Denounce Anti-Police Activists (Even Members of Their Campaign Team)

Sean Roche is a Community Activist in Newton, MA, as well as a Volunteer Staff and chosen Endorser for "Candidate for City Council Ward 6 At-Large" Alicia Bowman (see the 3rd picture where Bowman proudly displays Roche's Endorsement on her homepage). Roche is known for being a radical leftist in Newton who bikes around taking pictures of cars idling and sending them to the very police he doesn't appear to like according to his Twitter.

On Nov 3rd, 2019, Sean Roche "Liked" and re-tweeted anti-police propaganda (see the last picture of this article) from his Twitter account: https://twitter.com/seanroch

Sean's retweet and "Like" was for this criticism,"it’s a fascist flag" for the famous American flag with the thin blue line that nationally is displayed in support of police (see the last picture for that flag).

It's ironic that Sean Roche wants Newton Police to respond to his myriad of pictures of idling cars, and to his own safety if he was ever robbed or assaulted, but the very police that protect his right to speak he appears to think of as "fascists" according to his Twitter. As I googled Sean's name, I came upon a site I hadn't seen before that explained that he had garnered some attention two days before the flag comment for doing something which some in Newton will see as positive, according to TurtleBoySports: https://turtleboysports.com/stunning-and-brave-newton-sjw-james-k-woke-courageously-takes-down-racist-its-ok-to-be-white-sign-hanging-over-mass-pike/

Many in Newton know Sean is the co-founder of Village14.com and the man now in charge of Village14, Greg Reibman, who is also the Newton-Needham Regional Chamber President, should distance himself from Sean. All of the business Greg represents are dependent on the local and state police to be able to function. Associating with an anti-police activist like Sean is antithetical to what the Chamber of Commerce, and Greg himself, should stand for as a professional representative of the business community.

So that is why I asked Alicia a series of questions, all of which Twitter marked as "Seen" but she refused to answer even several hours after they were posed to her.

"[Alicia] On Nov 3rd, 2019, the man holding your campaign signs today in Newton, Sean Roche 'Liked' and re-tweeted anti-police propaganda. Alicia you readily denounce those on the right, but radical anti-police leftists like Sean Roche should also be denounced and you should distance yourself from them. Twitter shows me that you can see my questions but refuse to answer. We'll have to go to press that you refuse to answer our questions."

Those that refuse to take a stand for what is right and wrong in order to protect their friends, especially anti-police activists, don't deserve to be elected to Newton City Council.
