Today on Facebook this showed up in my feed.
what could go wrong?
so ok. so there is hate speech. and there is HATE speech. and there is “I’m just gonna KILL them because I just don’t fucking give a shit” speech.
I unfriended the guy instantly, reported it to Facebook...but aren’t there some authorities I should notify.
or something?
or is this just normal nowadays?
and this guy has guns. lots of guns. real assault rifle guns.
and he knows how to use them. very experienced.
and he wants to use them. now.
and he has friends urging him on.
also too, Iraq vet. very pissed off Iraq vet.
not that all Vets are a menace to society or anything...but well...he’s used to this kind of thing...you know killing heartlessly without remorse or guilt or empathy for the victim stuff.
and he’s missing it. he likes it. he wants more of it. AND he thinks he has complete justification for it.
also too, Confederate flag on wall of his home gym as cover photo on his Facebook page.
but he likes dogs. and his kids.
and guns.
of course.
you need guns to protect the kids and dogs.
from the catfish thieves.
I originally friended this guy because he made one of the only coherent and intelligent replies ever to something I’d put up on FB on some Lefty Liberal page. We got into the only intelligent and rational discussion of a bunch of issues I ever had with a Redneck Right Winger ever. We actually had some productive conversations. online. (but I think he can find out where I live pretty easily) I wrote about it here: http://www.dailykos.com/...
I had hope if we could start talking other people could start talking...maybe even find some common ground...
But I kept wondering about that Confederate flag...kept wondering when the reason that was on his page would reveal itself.
Was he just a good ole boy, lovin’ the good ole down home south Dixieland of his boyhood?
or
well, this?
catfish and oxygen thieves?
now that’s a new dog whistle isn’t it? not exactly hard to hear though is it?
do you know what to do about this?
cause if this guy goes off I’m not going to really know how to handle it if I don’t do something.
also too, I don’t want him to shoot me either.
or you.
so I blurred the personal pics and names on this but I saved the original screen shot in case any of you really do know who to notify, cause I googled and stuff and I didn’t figure anything out.
and Ted Nugent is going to the SOTU tonight.
What could possibly go wrong?
Jeebus, this country is fucked.
