I ' ve known Dan for a number of years through business and local politics . Honestly , he ' s a nice guy and has a done more for his community Ward 6 , especially than almost anyone else I can think of . That said , he ' s fallen into the altright ' s way of thought and now he ' s following their doctrine . In all honesty , it sucks . A few years ago I would have said he was a standup guy . Today , well , he ' s a fullfledged member of the altright ' s cult . I ' ve been told he ' s already chosen to play the victim card . Which is evident though his ' apology ' as it reads more like an excuse than an admission of wrongdoing . Glad he resigned . Glad the people of Salem spoke out against his actions . Sad that he chose his path the way he did .
