An emergency medical technician in New Jersey was removed from a volunteer board of health after he made racist and threatening Facebook comments about participants of a Black Lives Matter protest.
Abhishake Shah, 25, a protest organizer who spoke at the event, commented on Kronyak's Facebook post Thursday.
Shah added:"We did not want to be hateful or show anger. If you'd like, I would love to discuss this further with you. Feel free to message me; we all need to learn a little bit more about our neighbors. We all need to listen and learn about each other's experiences, including me."In an interview Friday, Shah said that he was shocked by Kronyak's response. He said he learned about it after a friend sent him a screenshot of it.
