Sigh. Once again, we cats are trying to decide what to be more outraged about: Some idiotic South Carolina Republican making crass remarks about a national tragedy, or using bad grammar doing it.
The jackass in question, State Representative "William Chumley," is all bent out of shape that the nine Mother Emanuel shooting victims in Charleston didn't pack heat, or at least resist. We guess. What else could he mean when he burbles the unbelievably insensitive statement that his fellow state legislator, Clementa Pinkney, and the eight others "waited their turn to be shot"?
How does "Chumley" know? Was he there? Does he have hard evidence on how fast the white terrorist fired and reloaded? Is it possible that the white terrorist fired first shots to disable everyone, and then finished them off while they lay helpless or maybe already dead? Has "Chumley" spoken to the one eyewitness the white terrorist allowed to live? Is "Chumley" a cretin and a fool?
Yep to that last one.
And here's the icing on "Chumley's" very unappetizing cake: If the victims had had guns or fought back, he said, "We'd have less funerals than we're having."
When a Republican like "Chumley" says incredibly stupid things to disparage the dead and wound their already suffering survivors, we cats want to SNARL and claw his face off. But when he mangles the English language at the same time, we simply have to echo this uneducated South Carolina lowlife and ask: Why doesn't somebody just do something?
UPDATE: Oy, here's another baddie from a silly Republican flag defender in Topeka, Kansas: The head of the state division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, he said, "should be knocking heads together instead of just laying [sic] down and rolling over." FAIL!
