Um, good.

On Nov. 29, Coleman Bonner of Wessington in Chilton County posted a message to his personal Facebook page in regards to the wildfires in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevier County, Tennessee.

"Funny story. I was recently in Gatlinburg. Had a terrible time. I felt the place was a cesspool of consumerism and a bastion of the worst aspect of southern culture. Turns out a wildfire just burned most of the town to the ground. Good riddance, Gatlinburg. And good luck you mouth-breathing, toothless, diabetic, cousin-humpin,' mountain-dew chugging, moon-pie-munchin,' pall-mall smoking,', Trump-suckin' pond scum. (Chuckles and smiles like the smarmy liberal elitist I am," Bonner wrote.

When are people going to realize that posting on social media isn't a free-for-all? I mean, many (most?) of us already get this, and tailor our posts accordingly. But some (like this clown) are just stupid.

"Cesspool of consumerism" is a directionally correct description of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but is not a reason to celebrate a disaster.

Oh my god! Why do they always look like that!? THEY ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THAT. I have this weird sample size experience of reading about people who are punished or harassed online for writing stuff like this (Burning flags, saying "F" America or mocking people in tragedy) and they always look like this. Kind of like the stereotype where every time I see an overweight woman with flamboyantly colored hair (purple, pink, orange, blue) with funky glasses on I just assume (so far correctly) that they are an SJW. Genuinely, every girl I've met who meets that physical description has turned out to be a raging feminazi to the point where I now just think that about a person who looks like that without actually meeting them. Don't read too closely into those characterizations, I know there is short-sightedness involved but it's one of those bases where stereotypes are born. Have to remind myself to give people a chance first but it is so strange how that works out.

Yup and they get what they deserve. Back when the shootings during the protests in Dallas was going on and several cops across the country had already been shot and killed. We had a local woman who worked at a hospital in Shreveport post on FB that she hoped "they killed as many cops as they could". A local sports writer (of all people) got wind of her post and begin to share it and encouraged everyone to "make her famous" .Someone who was a part of the "sharing" actually worked with the lady. She came back to this sports writer's original "share" and said the lady had been terminated the following day and the lady couldn't understand why she'd been fired. That she said as she was being escorted off property "I've got the right to say what I want on my FB account." People just don't "get it".

People don't seem to understand that you may have a right to do something, but that doesn't mean that there won't be consequences. There are lots of things I can do, but whether I should do them is another question.

Yep. She exercised that right. And the government didn't punish her. She can sit there cold, hungry, and stupid knowing her constitutional rights are still intact.

Unluckily for him, Alabama is a right to work state. As an aside, the guys at my local Express Oil sure don't look like that.

It won't bother him to get fired, he more than likely still lives at home. He might want to look over his shoulder as his posts go viral.
