... apparently a BSU and ThugU fan as well.

You've probably already heard about this but, if not, here's the story.

Yesterday, Veteran's Day, this gun shop owner (that's right, his wife and he own a gun shop in Anniston, AL), ranted against Veterans on FaceBook. Here's what he posted:



So anyways, it went viral in about ten seconds. (Still incredible that this idiot shite on himself and his family as a gun shop owner with this public anti-Vet rant of his on Veterans Day.)

His wife and he also run this gun club in Anniston, (Calhoun County), Alabama.

There are a lot of articles up about it today if you want to google it.

Anyway, here are a couple of his posts today, before he shut his facebook page down.



That was followed by ...



But it seems that everyone in Anniston is calling him a known liar and that no one is threatening his family. So they are back to lighting-up his facebook page and while reading the comments the first thing that hits you is ...



Now, forgetting about him being a Bama and Clemson fan - the people in Calhoun County, AL and Anniston, AL will probably shut the jerk down by not doing business with him or his wife, and rightfully so IMHO, ... I couldn't help but wondering the tie-in to "Calhoun County, AL" and Clemson? John C Calhoun of course, being the man who donate the land to Clemson. A former VP of the US and very famous here in SC. Whatever, for this guy to be both a Bama and Clemson fan, (evidently his wife is a Boise State girl and his daughter goes to U of M), ... what's the deal in Anniston, AL Bama fans? Is there some special tie-in to Clemson and Bama there? Calhoun?

I hope local Bama, Auburn and every other sort of fan shuts this jerk down quite honestly. But hey, Veterans are here to protect the guy's right to free speech, but he is going to have to deal with the consequences on his own.

ETA: The posters are up now ... and evidently the wife is a bigger bitch than he is. They've got 5,000+ members of the county gun club on their FB page of which they are administrators - and it appears, based upon the replies, that the great majority of them are veterans.

So evidently this couple harbored these hate-filled feelings about Vets their entire lives, but had no problems making their livelihoods off of unsuspecting veterans who supported their businesses.

Wow, just wow. But these cyber posters (see below) are up everywhere now. I'm a member of a dozen veterans groups and they've all got them flying on their home pages. Plus the women ... whew, piss-off the gun toting women and you go too far. Their sites are en fuego.

These people are probably going to have to leave the country.

I saw this all unfold yesterday. It was hilarious. His initial comment (on his personal page) to one of his buddies who asked "did you write this?" Was "yeah and it'll be forgotten in a couple of days just like last year".

I read comments all night. The dude is a dick, has been arrested for recieving stolen property, and some claim he has major drug problems.

I don't have a dog in the fight other than just enjoying the show.

As far as Clemson and Bama go, maybe he have Dabo a HJ in the rest stop bathroom on I59 outside of Anniston once.

Yea, his wife might as well go ahead and close the business.

He does kind of have a point with some wars, but still highly disrespectful and he deserves what er comes his way.

Meh. An old Army buddy of mine who served in Iraq posts similar stuff all the time. Guess he gets a pass though...

I, personally, couldn't care less about the opinions of others.

Meh, let folks say whatever they want. No skin off my nose.

Not the smartest business decision for him, though.

As a veteran who fought for his right to rant, I could give a shite what he thinks of me. I know what I did, it's well documented on my DD-214 and a few other places. If I need a gun and he has a good deal I'll consider purchasing from him. Other than this one fleeting moment in time, I'll never give this guy another thought.
