Pedernales Electric Cooperative officials will decide the fate of a co-op board member who posted violent and racist comments on his personal Facebook account late last month.

According to reports, James Oakley, vice president of the Pedernales Electric Co-op board, posted a comment on an article on Facebook in reference to a man accused of killing San Antonio police detective Benjamin Marconi last month.

Oakley commented on the article that it was “time for a tree and a rope.”
