Dallas County commissioner John Wiley “Coyote” Price tells audience to 'go to hell'

The Anniston Star reports that the weekly meeting of Dallas County commissioners ended early and abruptly when a commissioner and audience members got into a shouting match.

The speakers were criticizing Commissioner John Wiley Price's role in Bruce Sherbet's resignation as county elections administrator. A speaker called Price "the chief mullah of Dallas County," a mullah usually defined as an educated Muslim trained in religious law and doctrine.

Price, the county's sole black commissioner, took offense at the term and asked, "Why are all the speakers white?" The audience shouted back, and Price told them to "go to hell."

As the shouting escalated, bailiffs stepped in and cleared the room.

Price later told KRLD-AM of Dallas he was bound to respond to being called a "mullah" in that context, which he thought to be racist.



Well, if the audience was gonna go through that, they should’ve called him a nigger for good measure.

Free speech ya'll.
