All of the cadets pictured giving a Seig Heil salute in a class photo of West Virginia corrections officers have been fired, Gov. Jim Justice (R-WV) announced Monday when a summary of a state investigation into the photo was released.
I guess it would be too expensive to chuck 'em all and start over…oh.
Wow, guess who’s following this story…
it was simply a greeting
(holds up middle finger to “greet” them. )
Vee Vass Just Followink Ordersssss…
Byrd told investigators she was “completely unaware of the historical or racial implications of the gesture and reported it was simply a greeting,”
And with at she revealed she’s the only frickin’ person on the planet that doesn’t know what it means. What are the chances?
These will be future shooters, just watch.
"No idea" of the historical reference? What the actual fuck?
Is it possible to be that pig-ignorant even in West Virginia?
Of course, there is a guy down the road from me who flies a huge Traitor’s flag and says it’s to celebrate his heritage. He’s a product of West Virginian schooling (so to speak) also.
Well, thank dog they weren’t playing the “circle” game.
except when she said she’s hard-ass like hitler, unless she thought that was just some random name someone made up
Byrd said “they do that because I’m a hard-ass like Hitler,” the secretary told investigators.
Yeah, because there are no other NON-genocidal examples of hardassery one could draw from in all of human history for trying to provide structure and discipline to students, than Hitler.
I think evoking Hitler in your pedagogical model qualifies as white anglo privilege…but I guess that runs the risk of triggering the oversensitive righty whiners.
A hard ass like Hitler? Was Hitler unemployed, too?
At least now the cadets can appear at future Trump Putschs, I mean rallies, as they won’t have any work schedule conflicts.
West Virginia does have electricity and the internet correct?
And anyone who would like to witness a lockstep litany of false equivalence being drawn between the Nazi salute and the black power fist, please, by all means, you know where to go to find it…
Until Mom picks up the phone and Fux0r the modem connection.
“I’m a hardass like Hitler.” Now your ass isn’t just hard, it’s fired. Have fun stocking shelves at Walmart if you’re lucky.
When an academy secretary asked about the picture, Byrd said “they do that because I’m a hard-ass like Hitler,” the secretary told investigators.
Ilsa, She Wolf of the Ignorant.
And “Arbeit Macht Frei” was just an affable welcome to new campers.
(“Chanukah sameach, y’all!”)
And now I won’t be able to stop giggling this evening over the image of Frau Ingraham stuck as the “greeter” in some rural bumfuck Walmart, welcoming everyone with “Arbeit Macht Frei”…
I feel like there’s a seriously biting SNL skit buried in there somewhere…
