This is the most direct conservative attack on science to date.
Hear that boys?
Not needed, not wanted.
And the conservationists had already endured enough batshit before meeting the militia.
Bat Shit insane meets Bat Shit researcher.
Lemme guess: Their leader was Colonel “Bat” Guano…
One group is bat conservationists. The other group is batshit crazy. All right, that’s it for me. I’m outta here.
From the perspective of a typical self-declared militia member, a real scientist is as alien as a border runner.
Now since nobody was shot in the back, I’m assuming the militianoids left and none of the bat scientists were Black.
If we could just get the undocumented residents to wear yellow stars or pink triangles or something, these cases of mistaken identity wouldn’t be cropping up all the time.
I found a film clip of their leader confronting a Meskin…I mean Bat Scientist
Why is there nothing here about charges being filed? How come these arsewipes aren’t in jail?
Suppose an armed group of Latinos accosted a bunch of fundamentalist Christians walking in the shoes of their lord through the desert. Do you think for a second every one of them wouldn’t either have been shot by locals or, at a minimum, be facing some kind of felony charges.
“As a matter of fact, they’re going to get in the way and they could get hurt. Or they could hurt somebody else.”
…but since they’re white guys, what are we going to do? I mean if they had darker complexions, we’d arrest them for creating a public nuisance, or, heck, just gun them down seeing as how they’re brandishing weapons and threatening people, but these are white men we’re talking about here, so we’re at a loss for how to deal with this issue.
What could possibly go wrong with armed weekend warriors patrolling the bush along the USA-Mexican border?
One of the projects I was involved in during my science career was bat reproduction and I and colleagues collected bats all over the borderlands in Southern Arizona. Luckily that project ended prior to the appearance of these cammo wearing idiots who think they’re defending freedom from science. I wish these jerks would listen to the Santa Cruz County Sheriff and GO HOME, put the guns away and just sit ant tell stories to each other about how they defended to border from some scientists.
The boys have discussed your idea, they like it (I didn’t tell them it came from some Marxist Hippie Pervert Muslin), and they all agreed that the ideal symbol would have a black circle surrounded by white and black rings.
Bat brains win I.Q. contest with militia men.
Actually what you posted as possible thoughts going through the head of the Santa Cruz sheriff is quite a bit less than accurate. Had you been speaking of his predecessor in office (Paul Babeau) you might have been accurate.Do a google search for “Build the dang fence” you will see Sheriff Babeau speaking with John McCain about building a border fence (like the one they happen to BE STANDING NEXT TO!!)
Since all the bat jokes have been made, I’ll just say it’s time we stop tolerating this immature and very dangerous bullshit. Charge the fucks with something—malicious mischief, creating a nuisance, anything that’ll stick. This society just cannot continue to tolerate assholes waving guns around everywhere.
They went from studying bats to studying batshit
