I Can’t Even….

Uncategorized

A day or two ago, in the (blue) city I live in, firefighters spotted what looked like a rabid racoon near the fire station. The racoon was foaming at the mouth and acting strange, so they assumed, as they had to, that rabies was involved. They called a wildlife expert, who could not give a definite time that he would be there. So, the firefighters took matters into their own hands, and ran the racoon over with a fire truck. They probably saved more than one dog and possibly human beings by doing this.

So, of course, they are being roundly attacked for “animal cruelty.” The crazy leftists, and there are a lot of them around here, are all saying, basically, that the firefighters should have confirmed that the racoon was definitely rabid before killing it. Also, many believe that even if the racoon was rabid, the firefighters should have waited for the police to show up, so that the racoon could have been shot, and that would have been more humane, they say. WTF?

Do these people even know what rabies is? Do they understand that a rabid racoon is not going to hang around and do things on their schedule? They are all over the internet, condemning the firemen. There are a few voices of reason, but most people commenting are dumb as bricks. I have shown support for the voices of reason, but beyond that, I haven’t commented because the stupidity of it all is too much for me. I am exhausted by leftists.

I am sitting in my beautiful, freshly painted house that I love. I was so happy with the way the new paint job turned out that I was almost considering staying in this blue city, even for just a bit longer. And then this thing with the firefighters and the racoon happened, and I was reminded again of how crazy many (most) of my neighbors are.

I think this racoon situation is the straw that is breaking the camel’s back, for me. Florida is looking better all the time.

  1. They are now calling on residents to demand that the fire chief be fired. They won’t be happy until they have driven every first responder out of the state.

      1. I know. Which is why I am joining first responders in their flight to red states. I don’t want to see what this place is going to become.

      3. I should have thought of that. Sometime today, somebody took the post down. it got to over 200 comments, with about 2/3 being from hysterical liberal women and the other third being from sane people telling the liberal women that they were crazy. There were actually a couple of posts on the subject, though. I will see if I can find a related post.

  3. I did end up putting my two cents in. Tried to be as patient and kind as possible while trying to explain that a rabid racoon won’t wait around for the cops to come by and shoot it. Should I really have to explain that to a group of adults?

  4. Well, idk, Judy…..they have lots MORE species of wildlife roaming around in Florida—like alligators! People don’t seem to get it. These carnivorous animals wouldn’t hesitate to eat us, or maul us if we found ourselves unable to escape. It’s all part of the Leftist schtick of never taking your own side in an argument.

  5. Against my better judgement, I jumped into the conversation to defend the fire chief, and now the mob is running me out. They say that I am “bizarre” for suggesting that they don’t appreciate first responders. They also say that I am a crazy Karen. They also say that rabid animals are not a big deal and are easily dealt with. Beam me up, Scotty, I am out of this effing place.

      1. Just wear gloves, Simon 🙂 One woman commenting said that the firefighters had protective gloves that would have made it impossible to contract rabies from the racoon. Aren’t you glad that there are liberal women in Massachusetts who know just what to do when confronted with rabid animals? 🙂

  6. Now I have a woman from Northampton who claims that she was a firefighter for 33 years, and she is getting hysterical with me because she says that I condone animal cruelty. It just gets better and better.

  7. Several women claim that they woke up this morning crying their eyes out over the plight of this racoon. There are tens or hundreds of thousands of children being trafficked on our Southern border, but never mind that: a racoon in Springfield got hit by a car. That is the real tragedy, and if you don’t agree, you are a monster.

    Florida, here I come 🙂
