Oct 2017

.... when I encounter sniggering trolls online spewing garbage talking points, ranting and raving about Hillary and/or Obama, and smugly repeating the babyish insults ("snowflake!&quot and excuses ("fake news! NUH UH! FAKE NEWS!&quot I just want to teleport to where they are and beat the living shit out of them with a 2x4. It's just a vision and one I would never act out (tough to teleport anywhere since the technology doesn't exist).

I'll stop short of ending their lives in this little vision which plays out in my head, but I very much do entertain notions of breaking their limbs and brusing their bodies with my 2x4 and sending them to the hospital for months of pain and therapy. After spitting in their faces.

That's how despicable and disgusting these "people" are, such that I feel even basic considerations of human interaction (my core principle is I won't commit violence except in self-defense or defense of others) are being eroded thanks to their dishonest, childish, evil behavior.
