Hey therealmc

[mala]

@therealmc Is the guy who commented on your FB post this morning being an asshole? Can I call him out?

[mala]

Yeah... I saw that and I was like "The FUCK? Oh no he didn't!" but I didn't want to blow up your facebook.

[katfco]

What'd he say? Is he one of those conspiracy theorist deniers?

[rubber pants]

what happened??

[mala]

MC's was "be nice to each other today" and this asshat says "How about shoot a Muslim instead. I choose B." (or something to that effect, that may not be the exact wording.)

[katfco]

Wow. Does he make comments like that a lot?

Pretty sure Facebook would consider that threatening hate speech right there.

[mala]

How does this sound?

Wow, John, way to be a raging asshole. First, you're talking about killing someone in response to a post about being kind to one another. That's fucked up. Second, you're advocating killing based on religion. Wasn't this country founded on freedom from religious persecution? Yes, lets go kill innocent people just because they happen to be part of a religion which has a handful of zealots. Congratulations on continuing to spew hatred and bigotry.

[Faevantastic]

What an asshole!

If you are all curious as to what he said:

"Or kill a Muslim. I choose option B"

This was in response to my post, which is a picture of the twin towers with me saying maybe we could all be kind to each other today.

I seriously don't understand why people just can't get along. I don't understand bigotry. I have no tolerance for people who spew that kind of hatred. I usually keep my mouth shut, but this guy seriously rubbed me the wrong way.

[fryjack2]

Please ask him to define Islam. 100000000000000 dollars says he has no idea what the basis of the religion truly is. Fucking moron.

Just like my BIL who talked about guys on airplanes wearing turbans. Turban does not equal Muslim idiot. He heard an earful from me.

Unfortunately yes. I unfriended his brother a few months ago for similar comments. It is a constant struggle for me because he is one of the few people I grew up with and I never knew him to be this way. There are so many people from my home town who feel this way and are beyond ignorant and racist. It wasn't like that when we were growing up and I am constantly shocked by how many of my hometown friends I have had to unfriend. It is deflating.

Sadly, I have quite a few friends like that from college, and my childhood best friend married someone who is the poster boy for the word amoral. She and I aren't close at all anymore, and I think it's  in part because of him.

[TrudyCampbell]

Wow, what an ass.

[creamsiclechica]

I hate how today brings out even more hate instead of togetherness and love. I've got it on my Facebook too. People are jerks.

I just defriended someone who posted a picture of the towers falling that said "12 years later and our president wants to help the people who did this. Pray for our country."

Asshole.

I unfriended nearly everyone from my hometown after the last election. It sucked. One of my best friends from when I was a kid made a status update saying something along the lines of, "Why would you elect someone to run the country that's more likely to steal your car?" and another one saying that all the useless liberals needed to get out of "his" country. The amount of likes to his posts made me sick.

[laurack]

obama will steal your car? I haven't been watching my car closely enough. damn

My father frequently posts things about "take America back." Once I responded with, "I wasn't aware anyone had stolen it."

It's sad to me that there is already such disengagement from this day turned hateful and gross. My feed is littered with " but no one remembers 08/29/05... What about us?" . Really?

WTFFFFF 

[laurack]

I think I am spoiled because I never see this shit on my FB. OR, I don't check facebook enough.

I just can't believe the things people will write!

[orriskitten]

My dad reposts a lot of anti immigrant things. A shame his son in law, who he loves and respects, is a Damn immigrant and should get out of his country...

Luckily I haven't seen bad remarks today on fb. I think I weeded out the people who would post that stuff.
