News reaches that Anthony Becker was at the Art and Wine Festival harassing Kathy Watanabe. It is sad and troubling. Bwcker seems to have emotional baggage when it comes to elected officials who are women. I have known Kathy since 2009. KATHY WAS ONE OF THE FINEST LIBRARY TRUSTEEs EVER. DID FAR BETTER THAN ME. I was Iin the hospital in 2016 fighting for my life but when I heard Lisa became Mayor and Kathy was appointed, I cheered. SADLY POLITICS GOT IN THE WAY BETWEEN KATHY AND I. That was my fault. Park lied, and I formally retracted my comments. Kathy was assaulted supporting the stadium and now she is being picked on running for Mayor. I am angry. It is not right. If you don’t support Kathy then don’t vote for her. Do the adult thing,, Becker. NOw nobody asks me to speak, Junior. I don’t like you. becker, PERIOD
I saw Loser Becker’s video on Reddit shoving a camera in Watanabe’s face to harass. VIDEO IS 21 MINUTES LONG! She had to sit there all that time composed and ignore Becker. Based on Reddit comments, he’s doing Watanabe a favor. Court of public opinion is on her side. Becker the Loser.
Becker has indicated three former council members have tried to get him to engage in Nitrous Oxide parties. HE HAS NOT TRIED THAT ACCUSATION YET.
