Oregon city council sorry after member says hell spit on gay mans grave when he dies from anally injected AIDSTOM BOGGIONI

The city council of Echo, Oregon offered a formal apology for the actions of one member who told a gay man he would spit on his grave after he died of AIDS.
According to the East Oregonian, Echo City Councilor Lou Nakapalau got into an argument with filmmaker Joe Wilson a gay man who makes documentaries about members of the LGBTQ community on Facebook when he made the offensive comment.
When you croak of AIDS (Anally Injected Death Serum) Ill spit on your grave, Nakapalau wrote to Wilson, before adding an anti-gay slur.
Nakapalau later deleted the post after it created a firestorm, and his Facebook history showed him altering another post to remove profanities.
