The “Lone Ranger” once again showed up and spoke up at the Walker County Commissioners meeting this week. This time, after using racial slurs during his speech, he was asked to leave.

Ray Burnfin, dressed in a cowboy hat and mask,  first addressed the Walker County Commissioners board back in January. He used the public comment period to voice his support about using racial slurs and the Confederate flag, even saying the n-word and defending its use at the meeting.

Commissioners didn’t say anything the night it happened, but they did condemn Burnfin the next day,  saying they had not initially addressed the inflammatory comments because they had been shocked by what he had said.

On Thursday, Burnfin began talking about freedom of speech, racism, and the English language. He also brought along books such as dictionaries and a Bible.  He said in those books it explains “what racism actually is” and proceeded to say the n-word is in the dictionary, and said it.

Immediately, commissioners informed him that his time was up and he was ordered to leave the meeting. Earlier this month, commissioners voted to approve a new code of conduct for public meetings.  The new rules say commenters will refrain from “remarks that are lewd, vulgar, obscene or profane.”

Anyone who violates the rule could be forced to forfeit their time and be removed from the meeting.
