    Reports are that they had posted some other unhinged stuff recently in other corners of Facebook. They are a medical professional so we might be looking at a mental breakdown in real time.

    But one thing I’ve learned in my 8 years of living in this town is that locals don’t think twice before saying something racist. They might not admit what they said as racist but they will defend what they said.

        I reply. I’ve had my address posted, property minorly damaged, people have tried to ruin my business, and in general about half the people here that know my name hate me with a passion. Because I always call out racism when I see it. And, let’s be very honest, these people think they are the smartest people on earth. They get very bitter when cornered and shown to not be.

        I didn’t realize how many people were reading but not interacting until the guy from animal control said something seeing me argue with a racist on Facebook. And the “kid” at the hardware store asked if I had pissed anyone off lately. I didn’t even know he knew my name.
