    I recently heard on the “Police Scanner” app on my cell phone that someone in Albuquerque had drank a whole bottle of Pine Sol

    I’m wondering when (NOT “if”) the Trump-hater fanatics will say something like “Trump told him to do it,” maybe as a cure for COVID-19.

Meet Roofus Wolfinhousen, Self-Professed Ass-Kicker for COVID-19 Safety

While skimming Facebook, you can come across the most insane thngs —

Facebook — Sunday, May 31, 2020 at 7:09 PM

Going to Wolfinhousen’s Facebook profile, I found more of the same sort of . . . rhetoric.

Original post on Facebook — Thursday, May 14, 2020 at 2:34 PM

Here’s the text typed by Wolfinhousen at the top of that post.

Have Some Respect…
If Can Not Have Respect..
Then You Are Risking A Serious Ass Kicking..

How is that not a veiled threat?

It gets “better” as Wolfinhousen says that “What You Do To Them Next Is 100% Justified” [I’m guessing Wolfinhousen is referring to physical violence or property damage here.]

Original post on Facebook — Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at 7:26 PM

Again, here’s the text at the top of that post.

Paying Attention ..
When Some Loser Politician, Or Even A Friend Of Your’s Tells You To Get Back To Work Before The Medical Experts Say That It Is SAFE..
What That Weak Ass Politician Or Friend Is Telling You, “Is That Your LIFE Has No Value To Them”..
They Neither Care About You Or Have Any Respect For You..
What You Do To Them Next Is 100% Justified..

Think about that for a second — “What You Do To Them Next Is 100% Justified.”

What else could Wolfinhousen be implying there besides physical violence?

As pitchmen Billy Mays and Anthony Sullivan would often say, “But wait, there’s more!” —

Original post on Facebook — Saturday, May 9, 2020 at 7:49 PM

If You See Any Of The Trumpy Squad In Public, Attack First…
Do Let The Maga’cowards Ambush Or Sneak You…
Hit Them First & Hit Them Hard..
They Are Weak Minded & Easy To Crush…

It should be noted that the Facebook system considers Wolfinhousen’s implied threats and advocacy of violence to be acceptable.

But just remember — no one needs a gun, and no one wants to take your guns away from you.

    So Roofus, where exactly do you get the authority to physically assault and batter anyone who isn’t wearing a mask just because you feel like it?

  2. Posted to Facebook

    And I’ve seen lots of people going about their business without wearing any form of mask, so it looks like you’re going to be assaulting and battering lots of people then.

    Have fun with that, because some of them will hit back.

    I can say unequivocally that should you get your ass kicked by one of these people, I’m the last person on the planet that you should seek any form of sympathy or empathy from.

  3. Posted to Facebook

    Just saying that you seem to be a victim of the ID10T virus that’s been spread by the COVID-19 panic.

  4. Posted to Facebook

    Roofus, if you want to lead by example on the climate change issue, PM me with a mailng address, so that I can send you a plastic bag.

    The extra upside of it is that you won’t have to worry about COVID-19, either.

  5. Posted to Facebook

    You don’t want anyone to get too close to you, but here you are asking me out on a date?

    I find that highly irregular.

    Plus, I just don’t go that way.

    Have fun with that bugchasing!

  6. Posted to Facebook

    Back out from what?

    I’ve already made you my bitch here.

    Rachel — you didn’t win the Transhumanist Party presidential nomination. Vermin Supreme didn’t win the Libertarian Party presidential nomination.

    Any chance that the two of you might team up for the 2020 election, so that it gets all of the love and affection that it deserves?

  1. Went on a date at the Bosque Park [4100 Montano NW, Albuquerque, New Mexico], and had a great time.

    Neither one of us wore anything resembling a mask. In fact, during the 90 minutes I was there, I only saw two (2) people wearing masks of any kind, out of about 20-20 people in total.

    Love how her necklace in the photo looks like it was made from fishing bobbers.

    And her dress (?) looks like it was cut from a sofa left on the curb.

    Apparently, in Minneapolis, being accused of forgery warrants an ad hoc curbside death penalty.

    Back in 2014, James Boyd was summarily executed in the Foothills of Albuquerque for the crime of illegal camping.

    Why should taxpayers be on the hook for paying the resulting settlements from these incidents?

    How much longer would these atrocities continue if the damages to be paid were to be paid from the pension accounts of the officers involved, followed by the general police pension fund?

    *LOOK* at this image, a murder in progress, a human being who did nothing that deserved death, the face of a human being tortured to death by agents of the government in uniform, who claim to be doing this *IN YOUR NAME*.

    You should be outraged by this murder.

    Please take a moment to do the least you can:

    Have fun changing road wheels and track segments  :)

    Also note that you’ll probably need at least two other people to operate it with you — a driver, gunner and loader.

  2. Posted to Facebook

    I looked it up on the Google Play Store, and you’re not the only one to dislike it. No, I didn’t install it, nor do I have any plans to install it.

    What was a bit depressing were the reviews from people saying that “everyone needs to install it and use it.”

    I’m wondering if Google will sneak this onto our phones by including it in one of the OS updates for Android.

    Apple has already included it as part of iOS 13.5.

    https://forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2020/05/21/apple-ios-135-release-should-you-upgrade-new-iphone-update/#4ee4a9e32c88

    Apparently, you’ll have to turn off auotmatic updates for your iPhone to stop them sneaking it in.

    [Thanks to True Edjillo for the tip there about iOS 13.5]
