It's like the hood scene in Django Unchained. But even dumber.
Well fuck all y'all! I'm going home!
You know, I watched my wife work all day gettin' thirty bags together for you ungrateful sons of bitches!
And all I can hear is criticize, criticize, criticize! From now on, don't ask me or mine for nothin'!
I immediately went to the Rorschach-inspired masked gang from the Watchmen show.
Though that's very obviously playing off of the Klan and modern Militias.
...
God, I remember a bunch of my old 'friends' noping out of that show by the end of episode 2 or 3, because it was 'obviously politically biased' and 'waaay too farfetched', 'of course they made the Rorschach guys into racists'.
Yep.
Totally implausible and needlessly mean spirited portrayal.
Definitely no connection to real life racist yokel moral absolutist hypocrite conspiricists.
...
It's particularly amazing because this group fashioned themselves movie buffs, often going into trivia around what various actors, directors and what not said in interviews about their own work and methods, differences between different cuts of movies or how true they were to the events or works that inspired them.
Guess they just conveniently dismissed what Alan Moore said about reception of Rorschach.
Man, they really missed out, too. That show was amazing!
A bunch of weak cowardly racist assholes... It shows they know what they're doing is wrong & fear the repercussions of their actions.
The "alpha male" personas they're trying to shovel, the moment they're upset about anything they immediately turn into cry babies. They're literally a cult following a orange turd with dementia.
Ah, the banal evil of conservatism in play. With only a few idiots, they hurt entire communities who are desperate for aid.
No talk of sending the national guard in to "quell" them, yet, it seems. How unlike the response to the George Floyd protests...
The National Guard were the ones who found them.
This group has guns of their own, they don’t want to risk someone getting hurt, and would rather target the unarmed minorities instead.
Domestic terrorists.
The national guard is already deployed? Send them
The National Guard were literally the ones who found them...
Who is "them" in your statement? The National Guard found these domestic terrorists? Did they arrest them? If so, problem solved.
OK, pull up a chair and get comfy while I read the article to you
Yay! Hold on a minute while I grab a blanket and some hot tea.
JK. I didn't continue with the article because the very first thing I read is how they're using a 10 year old picture of a completely different group, from another state to get clicks. That kind of put me off because it's very click-baitey. I'll go read it if you say that it's otherwise good, with solid source.
It's a Good Thing these people are ONLY trying to Murder Federal Disaster Relief Agents! IMAGINE what might happen if they were a Black Kid with a Backpack!
On a side note, I don't think these white hoods hide a lot of black faces beneath them.
Those white hoods aren't related to the people in question. To garner clicks, the article used a picture of a completely unrelated group from Wyoming.
You might be right about the image, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they're completely unrelated.
I'mma go ahead and assume the people hunting FEMA and the people in this image have lot of shared political views.
I'm not just guessing, they said so in the article:
Note: The group pictured above was in Wyoming, not North Carolina. The picture is 10+ years old. They opposed Federal plans to reintroduce wolves. I cannot find any pictures of the group in North Carolina that is the subject of this diary. I suspect that they would be camera-shy. I have edited the photo to mask out the dead body of a wolf, apparently shot by this group. Some commenters said that the unedited photo was too graphic.)
Sure, I'll give you that.
I'm still sticking with the assumption of mostly shared political beliefs, though.
Are you a bot ?
Hurricane recovery officials in N.C. relocated amid report of ‘armed militia... out hunting FEMA.’
Red. Neck.
Nah, just dumbasses. You can work outside and not have your head stuck up your arse
Culture war? No thankyou. Only Class War for me.
Its worth pointing out they're doing this because if the Biden admin effectively helps people in states like NC, FL, GA it could win Harris the election.
It's also worth pointing out that the other side will say "see this is why we don't need FEMA, they didn't get timely aid to these parts"
Currently front page news on wbtv.com
Article updated with an arrest.
William Jacob Parsons, 44, from Bostic was arrested after dispatchers were told a white male holding an assault rifle and making comments about harming FEMA employees.
I think I put my thought poorly. Negligent would.have been a better word.
FEMA was hamstrung, but "doing the best with what you have" and "doing a great job" arent the same thing and thats likely the perception a bunch of guys who will grab guns and jump in the back of a pickup have. "FEMA screwed up Katrina and we arent going to let them do it to us!"
