LOCAL DINO TURN THEIR BACKS ON ATKINS AND SUPPORT THE DOCUMENTED VIOLENT/VULGAR/TOXIC AND MISOGYNIST HAGEN BRODY FOR SARASOTA COUNTY COMMISIONER
Atkins
In one of the most shocking and disturbing local political decisions, local Democrats In Name Only (DINO) have turned their backs on long time Democrat Fredd Atkins.
The local DINO leaders are not supporting Atkins and are supporting Brody for Sarasota County Commissioner, who is a failed local States Attorney and whose two attempts to practice law in Sarasota have failed.
The local DINO leaders are supporting Brody, whose rants at City Hall have humiliated and degraded any woman who has taken issue with his childish temper tantrum behaviors.
Sarasota Mayor Hagen Brody brought anger over a Van Wezel vaccination video into City Hall in an incident that jarred city employees.

Brody led THREE BRO's
Brody's outlandish behavior toward women has taken place while the so-called adults at City Hall sit silent. The Brody led immature THREE BRO's have turned City Hall into one big s*** show.
Dianne Taylor, who was a longtime City Hall Administrative Assistant for numerous City Commissioners for years, is one City Hall woman employee who Brody has terrorized, degraded, and humiliated.
Taylor resigned from City Hall because she was unable to any longer take the abuse Brody handed out while roaming around City Hall offices stuffing himself with cookies and other free sweet treats turning himself into Beef O Brody.
Taylor apparently kept (and still has) a written log of prior episodes, including one in which she overheard Brody calling her a “stupid old women from the office” while calling in from his car with a friend. Diane was discouraged from reporting this to HR by an unspecified “higher up.”
Listed below are some of the remarks of City Hall women employee’s documenting Brody's f bomb laced abuse, which humiliated and terrorized them during what they called a 2-hour plus hostage taken incident by Brody on 3/29/2021.
ATKINS WAS LEADING VOICE IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY AND BEYOND FOR YEARS
Atkins, who is a Brody's Democrat opponent for County Commissioner in the Democratic primary, for years has been the leading voice in the African American community, not only as a long time Sarasota City Commissioner, but also for years outside City Hall and beyond.
The Life of Fredd Atkins
This mini documentary is the piece I’m most proud of from my time at the University of South Florida. I pitched, produced, wrote and conducted the interview with Fredd Atkins for this short d…
ATKINS WAS A STUDENT LEADER AT SHS--WHILE BRODY PLAYED TENNIS AND STOLE CREDIT CARDS AND COMPUTERS AT SHS
Atkins's leading voice in the African American community began at Sarasota High School. He was the student leader of the first integrated student body at SHS. Contrast that with Brody, while at SHS, he was playing tennis and breaking into houses stealing credit cards and computers.
ATKINS AND 8,000 AFRICAN AMERICAN DISENFRANCHISED IN 2020
Two years ago, a Sarasota County Commission embraced one of the most blatant, racist acts ever seen in Sarasota by adopting a racist map, which was a slap in the face to the African American community.
The map put together by the documented criminal and racist Bob Waechter was approved by a Sarasota County Commission. The map removed Atkins as an announced Sarasota County Commissioner against the Pat Neal and his gangster "Pay to Play" JUNTA handpicked candidate Mike Moran.
In addition, Atkins and over 8,000 other local African Americans were disenfranchised from voting in the Sarasota County Commission election in 2020 by the Waechter's racist map.
Waechter
Waechter is the individual, who criminally destroyed his computer and put a spike in his hard drive before being deposed by Hugh Culverhouse Jr. and his attorney Larry Kellogg.
Culverhouse
This Waechter action was done prior to a Culverhouse lawsuit. A lawsuit that Culverhouse, who invested over $900,000 to determine who were all involved in drawing up Waechter's racist redistricting map, which disenfranchised Atkins and over 8,000 African Americans in 2020.
A legal challenge to the Sarasota County Commission's redistricting map is likely to be filed soon, with groups such as the NAACP and the ACLU considering joining the lawsuit and wealthy Palmer Ranch…
Despite being dismissed by U.S District Judge William Jung, Culverhouse's lawsuit clearly revealed the blatant racism that transferred thousands of African American voters and the announced African American candidate Atkins out of District 1 and into District 2.
If you don't believe Culverhouse's conclusion, read Sarasota Herald Tribune writer Carrie Seiman's assessment. Seidman wrote, "Even if by appearance alone, it (Waechter's Map) echoes historical racial injustices and black voter suppression and sends a clear message to the neighborhood that, once again, the white majority controls its fate."
Now two years later, local DINO leaders are turning their back on Atkins and supporting a violent, vulgar, toxic misogynist candidate for Sarasota County Commission, which is the documented shameful and outrageous Brody
No Brody among hundreds protesting Waechter's racist redistricting map
BRODY A NO-SHOW FOR WAECHTER'S RACIST REDISTRICTING AND SMD
During the Culverhouse lawsuit and numerous meetings before the County Commission protesting this blatant racist act by the County Commission there were hundreds of individuals voicing their disapproving of the racist Commission decision, but not Brody. BRODY WAS NEVER SEEN OR HEARD.
In addition, during the two campaigns to replace County wide voting with Single Member Districts to assist in ending Neal and his Gangster "Pay to Play" Developer JUNTA control of County government, BRODY WAS NEVER SEEN OR HEARD ADVOCATING FOR SMD.
HOW DOES A DOCUMENTED TEMPER TANTRUM ADOLESCENT BECOME A SARASOTA CITY COMMISSIONER AND NOW A CANDIDATE FOR COUNY COMMISSION?
What is disturbing is how someone like Brody, with this kind of documented behavioral issues, gets the endorsement for the Sarasota City Commission from local DINO leaders and now their endorsement for the Sarasota County Commission.
HOW DOES A FAILED LOCAL STATES ATTORNEY BECOME A SARASOTA CITY COMMISSIONER AND NOW A CANDIDATE FOR COUNY COMMISSION?
What is equally disturbing is how Brody, who was run out of the local States Attorney office for practicing law without a license and not showing up for court appearances gets the endorsement for the Sarasota City Commission and now for the Sarasota County Commission from local DINO leaders?
Edwards
Tom Edwards, a registered Democrat Sarasota County Board School member when asked why he is supporting Brody stated his main goal was to take down a fellow School Board member Bridget Ziegler.
Edwards stated to do so he must tie Bridget Ziegler with her husband Sarasota County Commissioner Christian Ziegler and ties them both together with right wing Republican extremists. Edwards believes Brody is the best Democrat Candidate to deliver that message.
Evidently, Edwards is willing to ignore numerous behavioral traits that have documented Brody as a troubled individual. Edwards and other registered Democrat leaders are also willing to ignore Brody's documented ties to "Pay to Play" gagsters' developers who have Brody stuffed in their pockets
Ferradino
Registered Democrat leaders who support Brody include School Board member Jane Goodwin, who among others believes that Brody is the candidate to beat Ziegler and have supported Brody's political career in the past and now include among others: Christine Jennings/ Rita Ferrandino/Margaret Good/Gabriel Hament/Frank Brunckhorst/ Jordan Letschet/Kay Mather/Dan Clermont.
Vengroff
In addition, Brody in his first campaign finance report of over $25,000 has received 7/$1,000 contributions from Mark Vengroff, who has numerous projects coming before the City and County Commissioners.
Vengroff tried to hide his $7,000 stuffing Brody in his pocket by using seven of his numerous LLC's controlled by him to funnel money to Brody: Oakridge Apts. LLC; SS Sasquatch LLC; One Stop Housing LLC; One Stop Housing Development; IIYF LLC; Lucky Houses SRQ LLC; and Oak Ridge LL LLC.
It is hoped that the over $200,000 that have been raised so far for Democrats running for the Sarasota County School Board will be matched for the long-standing TRUE Democrat Atkins run for the Sarasota County Commission.
These are the registered Democrats receiving the over $200,000 of campaign contributions: Lauren Kurnov--$111,282; Nora Cietek--43,076; Dawnyelle Singleton--$56,190.
BRODY'S DOCUMENTED TWO-HOUR TOXIC VULGAR HOSTAGE TAKING AT CITY HALL ON 3/29/2021
Below are only some of City Hall women employee’s documented public reporting on a 2-hour plus hostage taken incident by Brody. Brody’s raging demands included violating the City Charter by DEMANDING the firing of Sarasota City employee Jan Thornburg.
BRODY "DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT"
"Brody told X on the phone that he didn't give a shit’, and X told me what he said.....l had offered 12 noon to Brody (after Marlon's 11-12 meeting with the Vice Mayor), but Brody wasn't happy with that offer, because he had something else at that time."
BRODY YELLING "WHERE'S MARLON?”
"So, after X hung up, a little while later, Brody literally barged into our side door, very dramatically, with coffee in hand, YELLING in a very, very bullying, manner: WHERE'S MARLON? (very loud)."
"I quickly said to him, as he was headed right for Marlon's office, "Marlon is on a Zoom with a City Manager from another state! But Brody proceeds to open Marlon's door very dramatically and yelled that he wanted to see him NOW"
BRODY'S UNHAPPY WITH VAN WEZEL E.D BENSEL GETTING ALL THE CREDIT
"Brody stormed by us yelling something about Mary Bensel getting all the credit for the vaccination event and was unhappy that his video was not on the City FB page and Mary's were. He was yelling that the only reason she was there was to get the shot, and the whole event should be credited to him."
BRODY "DEMANDS ANNUAL SALARIES OF BENZEL AND THORNBURG"
"He was demanding to X to get the annual salaries of Bensel and (Jan) Thornburg."
BRODY CALLS THORNBURG "FU**ING TALKING HEAD"
"He was calling Jan Thornburg names under his breath (but loud enough for me to hear) fu**ing talking head"
"When Marlon got off his Zoom, he stormed out of his office and approached Brody's office saying, "you do not talk to my staff like that".
BRODY DEMANDS VIDEO BE TAKEN DOWN
"Brody was yelling back at Marlon that Jan didn't put his video on FB and he wanted Mary's REMOVED. So, I believe Jan took the video down, and put up a video of the mayor that was just a short clip. I showed it to Brody when he asked me if it had been done, but he was angry that it wasn't the right video of him. Then, he told me "never mind!"
BRODY ON A RANT FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS
"Basically, Brody was on a rant for about 2 hours at least. I felt very traumatized to say the least, I have heard Brody yell before, but it was in his office, and he was yelling at Marlon."
“NEVER SEEN SUCH BEHAVIOR"
"I couldn't keep quiet. I turned to Brody and told him that I had worked for the city since 2006 in many different departments and I have NEVER seen such behavior. He had no response for me. He just walked away."
"FELT LIKE A HOSTAGE SITUATION"
"This was not an "outburst". This was a 2-hour situation that felt like a hostage situation. In hindsight, I am so upset with myself that I didn't get my handbag and walk out."
BRODY "YELLING WOULD TURN TO VIOLENCE"
"I was very concerned that the yelling, which escalated and escalated, would turn to violence."
Thornberg
This is only some of the women employee’s report on Brody's City Hall widely known, 2-hour plus hostage taken on 3/29/2021 incident, which included Brody’s raging demands (and violation of City Charter) for Thornburg to be fired.
It is abundantly clear in reading through these well-documented complaints that Brody needs to seek professional help. In addition, that City of Sarasota officials who allowed this possible roid induced behavior incident by Brody to continue representing our community was outrageous.
