    The incident involving Mooresville Mayor Chris Carney and has outraged — and also amused — people in the town nicknamed Race City USA after its long history with NASCAR.

    “The episode occurred in 2024 but is now bubbling up on multiple fronts,” The Journal reported. “Three former town employees are suing Mooresville officials, alleging retaliation for their efforts to preserve the footage or investigate. Town commissioners passed a no-confidence vote this month urging Carney to quit. And a judge last week ordered the town to release video of the incident, a move the town forestalled by appealing Wednesday.”


    I couldn’t find the video footage. Can someone link it?

          Well there was the noose thing in the black guy’s garage that time.

          NASCAR not Race City isn’t the relief, but I might have missed the sarcasm too.

      Sounds like it hasn’t been released yet on account of that appeal by the town.

    Top tier excuse here

    “He has publicly apologized for what he called an innocent visit to town hall, spurred by a bad reaction he had to alcohol and medication that eventually made him vomit. He has told people he took off his pants to clean them,” according to The Journal.

      I’m a little curious how he managed to get vomit on his pants and not his suit coat or shirt.

      Also it was the middle of the day. What was he doing with alcohol… and how come he didn’t know his medication reacted with alcohol?

        I think the secret clues are in what he’s not saying. First, he never said it was a prescribed medicine. My bet, since we already know he was day drinking, is that it was a recreational substance.

        Second, he never actually says he got vomit on his pants. He just says that the mix “eventually” made him vomit. It’s likely that he was so messed up from his booze and pharmaceutical cocktail that he shit himself and he’s leaving that part out.

        That or he just ditched his pants to rub one out, which is where I’d put my money.

    I honestly don’t understand why these people can’t just wait til they get home, behind closed doors, to do their pervy shit.

    What is the appeal of doing this in a public place? It can’t be that thrilling that it’s worth ruining your whole life over.
