LOS ALAMITOS, Calif -- Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose found a smashed watermelon at his office's doorstep Wednesday morning, a day after widespread published reports about his e-mailing a depiction of the White House with watermelons superimposed in the garden area.

Grose called police around 8:20 a.m. to Event Medical Services Inc. at 10765 Noel St. where officers saw "what appeared to be a watermelon" that was evidently thrown at the area outside the door, said Los Alamitos police Capt. Bruce McAlpine.

It caused no damage and police took an incident report, McAlpine said.

"Because there was no damage to the office, it's not considered a vandalism," he said.

There do not appear to be any witnesses, McAlpine said.

Grose sent the e-mail, titled "No Easter egg hunt this year," from his personal account, over the weekend to community volunteer Keyanus Price, a black woman who said she found it racist and offensive.

Price could not be reached for comment, but said in published reports that she was horrified by the depiction.

Grose called Price to apologize to her and e-mailed her an apology,saying he did not intend to be offensive. He also apologized to her boss and members of the City Council.

Price has said she wants a public apology.

The emotions stirred by the e-mail prompted police to periodically observe Grose's business and home throughout the day, McAlpine said.

"We will sort of keep an eye out, certainly as the whirlwind of the story unfolds and to the point where it calms down," McAlpine said. "No matter if it is retaliation ... we don't want anyone to feel it is OK to act out in this manner.

"We want to show we are aware ... to show a presence to hopefully deter any further acts."

this proves how stupid his guy is..and probably others..

[JamesK]

What an idiot.

I don't care about the watermelons, but you gotta know what you can do and what you can't when you're in politics.

[~Ray]

where does it say he's quitting?

[Rochard]

I think it's sad that we live in a policitally correct world where we can't make fun of other people.

I'm Polish and to the day I die I'll always find Polish jokes funny.

How do you confuse a Polack? Put him in a round room and tell him to pee in corner!

[nolongerexists]

This joke makes no sense Rochard ;-)
you must know better ones..

Exactly. I'm Filipino and Filipino jokes make me laugh. I just don't take that stuff seriously.

[nolongerexists]

I think it all starts with being self-confident and being able to laugh from yourself.

And the picture this guy sent is fucking funny :-)

[Brad]

Totally with you Rochard. Sure it's a little racist but what isn't? It's a fact of life. Call it the human condition or whatever helps you sleep better but don't think for a second that stuff like this will ever go away. Sure you can step over a line and pull what I like to call a record screecher but that's why your parents always told you top think before you speak (or in the New Yorkers case before you draw/publish).

[Tom_PM]

This is one of those situations where the feeling it generates in the potential recipient is what's important. NOT whether or not you understand WHY they may feel that way.

People who make these massive mistakes get caught up in convincing themselves that "they SHOULDNT feel that way" and promptly shove their foot up to their ass in their mouth.

[LAJ]

I agree... watermelons aren't even in season... what a dipshit.

[Snake Doctor]

Well at least this time people are pissed off about something that was actually racist....as opposed to that stupid chimp cartoon from the NY Post that Sharpton and Olbermann have been whining about.

[DarkJedi]

whats wrong with it?

[Dvae]

What a douche, he didn't put a KFC sign on the White House!!

I agree.

Should he have not done it? Obviously with these repercussions... but, who doesn't share nasty e-mails with their friends? I mean seriously? I read somewhere that they were "friends"... obviously not.

Sure, but would you share that with one of your black friends?

I have one black friend that would have sent it to me. He called me "massa" on a regular basis.

Granted, I don't have many politically correct friends. They aren't my type...

[collegeboobies]

and that boys and girls is why email forwards should be deleted and not read.

Might be different if polish people were enslaved and treated as lower forms of life for a poor portion of our nation's existence.

I understand it's a joke and all and is probably fine with friends, but when you represent a community of people, it's probably not a good idea to do stuff like that.

Uh huh......Now wait until there's a President of Polish descent and watch what happens to someone who makes a polack joke about them.

There won't be a Filipino president any time soon...Plus we've never had a Filipino President.

"tacky" what an interesting adjective in regards to this particular photo.

[Hank_Heartland]

People let's get real...he knew exactly the reaction he would get when he sent it as did the the post cartoonist.

Things like this are never jokes...they are statements

If you can't tell the difference, your an idiot.

.

A President of Polish descent?




Take it from a Polack, IF that day comes that Polish President will be the one telling the Polack jokes in his news conferences.

He'll talk about the Polish kamikaze, who flew 48 successful missions.

Or the Polish loan shark who loaned out all his money, and then skipped town.

Polacks and Polish jokes are similar to lawyers and lawyer jokes. We're usually the ones making them up and telling them.

[KillerK]

Who cares, we all know black people like Watermelon and Fried Chicken.

It's like putting a buncha rice for a Asian guy.

No it's an classic joke, not the new age kind of humor we have now. You dont get it, because there are no corners in a round room..

And of course you get all hot now, heck.. "like I didnt know this" -- " just thought it were a bad joke"


Admit you didnt get it.

[D Ghost]

hhah lol ....

It's a fact, black people have it all. So a few us of, who are not secure enough, has to down grade them. I don't know if we should educate black people, that they are better than white (mentally and psycial fitness), or we should educate white people to not down grade black people.

I vote for the first, personally. But then again, I'm not in control. And I understand black people, and every white would too if they were a minority of the society they live in.

Exactly why I thought it was so stupid.

[cykoe6]

What a fucking dumbass. I hate when people cry racism unnecessarily but there is no other way to take that pic.
