"I am told there has been death threats and that is wholly inappropriate and abhorrent and should stop immediately," Christian Cooper said.

couldn't help but think of this today

 

"Thoughts on Forgiving Darth Karen" from VSB

I just read this and am going get over my "A***, your daughter is gonna grow up to cry over the Indians and N******" self and rein in my fairly toothless and possibly useless privileged outrage.

Also, as a birder, I'd be siding with Mr. Cooper regardless. Owning my prejudices here.

 

The security cameras at my home yesterday triggered shortly after I left for work; in accessing the files I discovered a vagrant was snooping around on my property so I turned around and headed back to find him, which I did, walking down the street (where he was looking into parked cars). I called the police and went through the usual questions when the dispatcher asked what did he look like. I gave a description of height, weight, age, clothes, backpack and she asked, "is he white? Hispanic? Black?" I said, I don't know, but he was darked skinned. She replied, "OK, but would you consider him Hispanic? Black...?"

I found it odd that she was pretty insistent that I add the label to his skin color.

 

At least she asked "white?" first.

 

That’s nothing different than describing his shirt color.

Now, if he was white and you don’t call the cops but you call the cops if he’s black, then there’s a problem.

 

“Let’s talk about this Jesus fella that all the liberals are boo-hooing about. They keep saying he was a prophet! A rabbi! And get this, the messiah. That’s there narrative. Convenient they leave out him and his buddies stealing a donkey last week on their way to Jerusalem or smashing up the temple. The leftist, Jewish run media won’t tell you about that. They don’t want you to know. Well, yeah, maybe nailing him to a cross was out of hand, but led me tell you. He was dangerous and he could have gotten a lot of good Romans and Jews killed. And what was he doing the past 30 years? No one knows. Or they won’t say! Maybe he was In prison? Or a leper? We may never know. And yeah, I guess my heart goes out to his family and friends, but maybe they should have been thinking about ways to keep him out of trouble.” — Fox Judaea Transcript, circa 30 AD.

 

I uased GSH as a soundbed on a NFL Films-style highlight reel I produced in high school.
