I've really been kind of disheartened about the number of people, some of whom I know, who have been willing to jump to conclusions about the Chattanooga Asshole based on a single datapoint-- his faith.
More than a couple have been saying that such conclusions are equivalent to liberals concluding that the Charleston Asshole is a racist because he was waving the Confederate Flag, which, of course, is bullshit. The Charleston Asshole had a track record of racist statements, he posted a racist screed online to "justify" his murderous rampage, and there were some other things.
Part of my reaction is also because I am a member of a different religion, to which the good Christians of the last 1,800± years have ascribed various unsavory characteristics.
So I was really going to dig into all that.
But then I saw this video from Finland:
It's hard to rant while laughing.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

Coulda fed the dog before the race...
ReplyDeleteThe dog still would have played with the toys.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that'd be younger Murphy, but only after he bit the ref and chased a few of the other staff.
ReplyDeleteI, too, held back on making any utterances, for reasons similar to those you have enunciated. But as the story developed, the number of data points increased (and continues to increase). There now is a rather high confidence level in the statements I make concerning the Chattanooga Asshole's motivation.
ReplyDeleteBut I did hold my fire at first.
Exp.Owl, that's commendable.
ReplyDeleteIt's always better to wait for the facts, before jumping to conclusions.
ReplyDeleteSnowdog, but where's the fun in that? We're bloggers! :)
ReplyDeleteAs a Golden owner (or is it the other way around?), this is totally on point. Thanks for sharing.
