From the Desk of Harrisonville Mayor Brian Hasek

Harrisonville Mayor Brian Hasek 

I am writing to reflect on a post I made about the removal of historic monuments and statues in our country. I have since deleted that post because it had a negative tone. 

We are dealing with some real hatred in this country right now and to make a post that contains hateful comments is not the way to deal with this. 

Two wrongs do not make a right. I could have expressed my opinion without those statements and I would like to apologize for my hateful remarks. 

I am appalled at the actions of these so called "Hate" groups and they seem to bring out the worst in us at times which I believe is part of their goal. 

We are all Americans and there is no room for hate, bigotry or racism in Harrisonville or anywhere else in this country.
