Four In The Afternoon: Hate Crimes

4 in the AfternoonDISFIGURING WOMEN IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE PROSECUTED AS A HATE CRIME Because it’s sure as hell done as a hate crime. Anyway, a Quebec woman is in an induced coma after her boyfriend threw acid in her face.

“THIS IS HOW WE FEED ANIMALS” Said some cretin at the Republican convention who threw peanuts at an African American CNN camera operator. This is so awful, I almost wonder if it’s political sabotage by enemies of the Republican Party — but that would mean an enemy of the Republican party actually threw peanuts at a black woman and called her an animal. Not bloody likely. More here.

DETROIT NAZIS ”After being asked if he were Jewish and answering yes, he was knocked unconscious by assailants as they repeatedly made Nazi and Hitler gestures at him, Tennen said in a statement. The men told him they were members of the KKK, he said in the statement. The assailants allegedly stapled his mouth and gums shut while he was unconscious, and about 20 people watched, he said.” Ugh.

AND LET’S ROUND THINGS OUT WITH SOME ECO-HATRED Arctic sea ice has had a record melt this year. Meanwhile people actually exist who still don’t believe in human-cuased global warming. Well, if it makes you feel better, the United States has announced new energy efficiency standards for cars, so that’s good, isn’t it?

About Stephen Whitworth

Stephen Whitworth is a life-long fan of newspapers and alternative media who got his start in the student press a hundred years ago. He moved to Regina in the fall of 1998 and Prairie Dog recklessly hired him nine months later. It was a terrible mistake and the publication deeply regrets its inability to get rid of him. When Whitworth’s not adding typos to the hard work of Prairie Dog’s many terrific writers, writing hilarious (to him) headlines and finding inventive new ways to make the paper late for its bi-weekly press deadline, he enjoys reading magazines, newspapers and alternative comics, listening to music, playing board games, and drinking and eating. He has a cat and seven six pet snakes (R.I.P., Fred).
