Refuses apology, blames citizen — not active drug house
Got elected to the state legislature despite Madison’s overt (?) racism
State Rep.-elect Shelia Stubbs, D-Madison, is milking the Madison-is-racist narrative for all it is worth. She is demanding that the fearful resident who reported a neighborhood drug house show himself despite his fears of being race-shamed by the identity politics mob.
Credit to Dylan Brogan of Isthmus (one of the better news hounds now working in Madison) for exposing the lawmaker’s new status as the heroic victim of imaginary white racism. He dug into the Shelia Stubbs incident wherein she was stopped by police while campaigning for election while black before the mid-August Democratic primary. Brogan found:
- The anonymous caller never called police about Shelia Stubbs canvassing the neighborhood. Instead, he reported an automobile waiting where cars often waited for the drug house to open up.
Information from the anonymous letter matches up with details from the three-minute phone call with a police dispatcher. On the tape, the caller describes a vehicle with “a bunch of people in it” that had been parked near their home for about 30 minutes. The male caller suspected the occupants might be waiting for “drug dealers to come home,” but there’s no mention of Stubbs or anyone else knocking on doors.
“Up the street, five houses from me, there’s a drug house. Apparently, the police know about this. Now there are people actually camping in the backyard and sleeping in the front half the time. So it’s more of a drug house compound,” the man tells the dispatcher. “It’s active all night long and when the drug dealers aren’t home, cars just park up and down the street waiting for them to get home. It’s pretty active.”
- There really was a drug house in the neighborhood where the anonymous caller contacted Madison police about the suspicious vehicle.
Madison Police Captain Jay Lengfeld, who heads the city’s Midtown Precinct, confirms that the “drug house” was on the department’s radar and that the residents left on Aug. 31. (after the Stubbs incident).
- The caller did not get a good look the occupants of the parked car (Ms. Stubb’s mother and her daughter) out of fear.
When asked for the make and model of the vehicle the caller provides general details but says “I’m trying not to look because they keep staring at me.” The caller explains to the dispatcher that crime has “gotten bad in his neighborhood.”
4) Shelia Stubbs apparently was O.K. with the police department’s explanation at first but, having tasted national media attention as a noble victim, now alleges racism.
Public Information Officer Joel Despain says before the incident was made public, Stubbs spoke to Madison Police Chief Mike Koval at length. Despain says Stubbs indicted “she was quite happy with the police response although she was very displeased that the officer was sent in the first place.
“She is saying something different now,” says Despain.
5) Shelia Stubbs refuses to accept the caller’s letter as an apology, demanding instead a face-to-face apology despite the caller’s good intentions and his subsequent fears of being branded a racist.
Stubbs calls letter writer the “cowardly.”
“Maybe they didn’t intend for this to happen but it did. And they caused it,” Stubbs tells Isthmus. … Where is their courage to face me and my family?”
But the letter writer says they’re too afraid for their safety to contact Stubbs or sign their name.
“The story I see every minute now is that some racist called 911 on a black [woman] in a mostly white neighborhood. … I can’t reveal myself as there is so much hate directed at the person who called 911 on you, which, I hope you understand now, never happened.”

NOTE TO : State Rep.-elect Sheila Stubbs, D-Madison
Listen to the call to 911 or read the transcript and flush your race baiting lies down the same toilet where you performed your Ethical Flush.
If you don’t publicly apologize to the citizen that called the police about suspected illegal drug activity then you’re proving to citizens that you are the real racist in addition to being a morally bankrupt political hack willing to falsely destroy others for your own personal gain.

It always puzzles me when I read the phrase “known drug house” in an article on illicit drug activity in this city. If cops “know” it’s a drug house, why haven’t they taken steps to shut it down? Is it yet another lazy concession to the “new normal,” which, as far as I can tell, means “behavior that wouldn’t have been tolerated a few years ago but is now met with a helpless shrug”?

Will the real Sheila Stubbs please stand up. Oh wait; that just happened.
Turns out she’s just another egocentric two-faced opportunistic politician, willing to trample anyone to further her pseudo victim identity.

Case could be made that Sheila Stubbs should apologize to the home owner, given that she has been a county board supervisor for 12 years with substantial authority for law enforcement. Are there more drug houses or fewer?

Sheila Stubbs was never the victim. She made herself the victim by spinning the story to fit her needs. Like I said before in another post she’s the one that went to the news media complaining that a white man called on a black lady going door to door in a white neighborhood. Chances are she knew the reason the police were called. She may have even listened to the tape and what was said. No story there. Sounds much better to say a white man called the police on a black woman knocking on doors. CNN even picked up the story and had her on air. Prime example of FAKE NEWS right there.

“Yup, blame the victim.”
There was over a 5 freakin’ week lag (8/07/2018 -09/19/2018) before this “victim’s” story hit the fan.
Are her handlers that effin’ stupid that they didn’t realize how much political hay they could make by playing up the raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacist angle for over five freakin’ weeks?
”Yup, blame the victim.”
Public Information Officer Joel Despain says before the incident was made public, Stubbs spoke to Madison Police Chief Mike Koval at length. Despain says Stubbs indicted “SHE WAS QUITE HAPPY WITH THE POLICE RESPONSE ALTHOUGH SHE WAS VERY DISPLEASED THAT THE OFFICER WAS SENT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
“SHE IS SAYING SOMETHING DIFFERENT NOW.” says Despain. (bolds/caps mine)
A FULL INVESTIGATION is called for; Stubbs, Despain, & the responding officer answering to an ad hoc panel, including the latter’s incident notes.
If she’s found to be lying, and it’s looking more-n-more like she is, she must withdraw her name from the ballot, do a 10,000 hours of community service for being a wart on the @$$ of our fair City, and reimburse taxpayer costs of the investigation.
Deal?

Despite being a race baiting moron and looking like two hundred and seventy five pounds of road kill stuffed into a garbage bag, one must acknowledge Stubbs’ political instincts. She unerringly focused her canvassing activities where her natural constituency congregates.
The real lesson of this story is; never apologize to social justice crap weasels. They will only see it as weakness and use the beachhead you give them to mount an attack on you.
