Monday was ablaze here in Columbus as a knife-wielding maniac plowed his car into a crowd and began slashing away (the second one this year, let’s hope the quota for assholes with blades has been met). Amazingly, no one was killed, well except the loon, which is nice work by the cop on the scene and also the emergency personnel.
THEN COMES THE INTERNET IN TO RUIN EVERYONE’S GOOD FEELINGS!
Here’s some dummery. A guy posted that a white cop shot a black guy with a knife and we should be upset about that. So how does this work, then? Should the cop call a timeout, get a cop of the same race to shoot the attacker? Can he run him over with a car, since that was used also? I got it – he should slide him a gun, so they’re both equally armed…or pull out his cop machete! Problem solved!
Another one – a lady posted on Facebook that she felt bad for the guy (hmmm…OK) and it was probably all the racists in white Ohio. Last I checked, Ohio isn’t all white. Also, he was upset about the portrayal of his religion, not his race, but either way – KNIFE ATTACK WINS THE OFFENSIVE CONTEST. If I call you a douchebag and you swing a knife at me; you went over and above the normal, acceptable level. That’s called ordered society. The best part of this? This lady was white. Thanks white lady, for helping me understand how racist my state is, which you’ve never been to.
How about this? How about you keep the commentary down until we make sure everyone is OK and get all the facts? Sound like a plan? Or instead, you do us a favor and cut your own index fingers and thumbs off so you can’t type dumb dumb on the magic computer box and depress the rest of us?
