The mayor of Peachland says she contacted the RCMP after a threat was made about burning her house down on a Facebook page.

The threat, which was posted on the Friends of Beach Avenue Peachland BC Facebook page, read 香蕉视频直播淭he Peachland mayor is not for the people shes for profit someone go light a fire to her house scum!香蕉视频直播� (sic) by an individual who goes by the name 香蕉视频直播淛anice Wyatt香蕉视频直播� on Facebook.

Mayor Cindy Fortin said the post was left up for several days before it was removed.

香蕉视频直播淚 feel like the Facebook account holders are partially responsible for this, first of all for leaving it on and inciting such comments. I decided that this Wednesday was Pink Shirt Day香蕉视频直播� I had a written a column on bullying and harassment for kids (previously) and I thought what example am I setting if someone香蕉视频直播檚 written something so horrible and I don香蕉视频直播檛 do something about it.香蕉视频直播�

The comment crossed the line, she said.

Fortin said she initially contacted the RCMP about a week and a half ago and was later told by police the comment maker said it was an 香蕉视频直播渙ff the cuff香蕉视频直播� comment and she香蕉视频直播檚 actually from the Lower Mainland.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 happy it香蕉视频直播檚 resolved,香蕉视频直播� said Fortin, adding she was initially concerned about the comment.

Randey Brophy, a moderator of the Friends of Beach Avenue Facebook page, said both moderators were out of the country when the comment was made and he was unaware he could delete it from his phone.

Brophy said he replied to the comment, which was made around Feb. 15, and that it didn香蕉视频直播檛 reflect the views of the association.

The page is also an open group, and the person who made the comment was not part of the association, nor are they part of the Okanagan, he said.

He said the issue was resolved before the mayor made a statement about the comment.

The RCMP have not returned emails sent by the Capital News. The story will be updated if more information becomes available.

A message sent to 香蕉视频直播淛anice Wyatt香蕉视频直播� via Facebook has also not been returned.
