SC-Mayor's car gets coated in tree pollen: She claims it was a racist hate crime

[RJB]

She should be grateful she didn't get her dog shot.

Just look at the Justin Smollett case, we all knew that he was lying. The moment he told his tale, you had people on youtube doubting it. Black, white, straight, gay etc all knew it was phoney but the police didn't just dismiss him, they took it serioulys and did their investigative work to expose him. All these guys need was to get a sample, interview other people in the area and voila, you have done your debunking of her entire case.

So you're not impressed that they tracked down and caught the culprit? That they, in fact, caught the perp in the act?

Yeah, that's right, Newsweak didn't tell you that part. But now that you think about it, you know it's true. Don't you?

:facepalm:

I won't say all trees are racist, but these White Oaks are systematically oppressing the Black Walnuts that built this forest after stealing it from the Red Wood Cedars.

There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the maples want more sunlight
And the oaks ignore their pleas
The trouble with the maples
And they're quite convinced they're right
They say the oaks are just too lofty
And they grab up all the light
But the oaks can't help their feelings
If they like the way they're made
And they wonder why the maples
Can't be happy in their shade?
There is trouble in the forest
And the creatures all have fled
As the maples scream 'oppression!'
And the oaks, just shake their heads
So the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
'The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light'
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw

I am curious if the tree will have to pay reparations.

Great libertarian song.

One of the great libertarian passages of the Bible, and one of the lesser-known ones, is also a tree allegory.

8 The trees once went out to anoint a king over them, and they said to the olive tree, ‘Reign over us.’ 9 But the olive tree said to them, ‘Shall I leave my abundance, by which gods and men are honored, and go hold sway over the trees?’ 10 And the trees said to the fig tree, ‘You come and reign over us.’ 11 But the fig tree said to them, ‘Shall I leave my sweetness and my good fruit and go hold sway over the trees?’ 12 And the trees said to the vine, ‘You come and reign over us.’ 13 But the vine said to them, ‘Shall I leave my wine that cheers God and men and go hold sway over the trees?’ 14 Then all the trees said to the bramble, ‘You come and reign over us.’ 15 And the bramble said to the trees, ‘If in good faith you are anointing me king over you, then come and take refuge in my shade, but if not, let fire come out of the bramble and devour the cedars of Lebanon.’

-Judges 9:8-15

Positions of earthly rule will always come to be occupied by the ignoble brambles.

It will be happy to provide more pollen as compensation.

Take a cut of the maple syrup industry.
