Why I hate the internet

Someone sent me this picture yesterday of some guy in an 82d Airborne hat giving a Nazi salute. I guess it was taken in Charlottesville the other day. I suppose that the person who sent it mentioned that they had sent it to me because a bunch of illiterate morons have been calling me and leaving messages that I should be ashamed of myself for giving a Nazi salute.

Um, I wasn’t in Charlottesville on Sunday, the guy is standing erect (I need a wheelchair to get around) and, most importantly, I’m not a Nazi. My wife makes me shave every four days. So clearly, the bozo in photo isn’t me.

Last week, I was accused of lying about my military service because I posted a phony in a Facebook group and the person thought that the post was about me.

My point is that some folks out there are half-assing their “investigations” and a lot of people are losing what is left of their pea-sized minds trying to make the wrong people pay for things they didn’t do. Pay attention to what you’re doing when you start doxxing people on the internet.

  1. Someone that old wearing ACU trousers as well? I saved my old BDU trousers for knocking around in the woods but I always made sure to tear up my old worn out “grey pajamas” before throwing them away.

      1. I also hung up my old Class A Uniform , just as it was the day that I got discharged . Found out that if you hang them up in a closet — they shrink . I couldn’t grease up to fit in it again . It shrank that much ! I’d sign on the dotted line again if they could promise to get me into that shape again .

    1. Bought a bunch before I got out. Most comfortable pants to work in out there. All are long gone but my daughter is going to hook me up with awesome new camo once everyone decides what the hell they are going to use. I was thinking Navy Digital for my night Ninja raids.

    2. I still have 5 different types of uniforms in boxes in my storage room o’ boxes.

      I recall being at Ft Lewis when ACUs became the new uniform. Any Ranger Joe’s like store with army gear for re-sale had boxes of BDUs for like 2 bucks for pants and 1.50 for the blouses. At that point I just didn’t even bother and decided to maintain them myself in my own collection.

  2. Yes, and you don’t have a fat tummy, either.

    The internet gives everyone a voice. It does not mean that everyone needs to be a social moron, but plenty of those show up and stick to you like glue or weed seeds.

    1. Like a friend and Mentor of mine once said “Some people are stupid to the point where they will FUCK things up in any and every way they can.”

  3. Like I have said other places, these guys are Ass-Weasels. But the military is a mirror of our society. I met some people in the Corps who I have stayed friends with and others I would not urinate on them if they were on fire. These Douche Nozzles fall under the no Urinating rule.

      The Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. Robert Neller, has spoken out against Trump’s support for racists with a tweet stating that there is no place for racial hatred in the Marines.

      1. WTF, Jason the Dick? Tolling like your butt buddie Joe Nutsack?

        Take off the hood before you post, Cocksucker…

      2. Trump condemned all the shitbags, Anti-Free and Un-Free.

        Since you support some of the shitbags, you are a shitbag.

        Keep it up! You are helping Trump to a second term. Thanks.

  4. This is why I trust Jonn and a handful of others to do SV investigations. Now with social media and the fact that so many morons out there trying to get famous by posting a viral SV video or pic. And not doing their due diligence you get crap like this. I’ve always supported the work that Jonn and some others do. But there’s just too many out there who don’t know what they are doing or doing it for the wrong reason. That does more harm than good. My 2 cents

    1. Can you give me an example of a Stolen Valor investigation done wrong?
      And a video of stolen valor without due diligence?

      I haven’t seen anything like that.

      I would really like to know who are the people you refer to when you say:
      “But there’s just too many out there who don’t know what they are doing or doing it for the wrong reason.”

      If anything, I see fakers, embellishers and valor thieves everywhere, and far too few valor guardians.

      1. Sure the prissy holly case. Also two legit Marines beaten because they were suspected phonies. The Navy cook photographed with Hillary who Don Shipley posted a video to straighten. Out those who thought he was a valor thief and jumped the gun and accused him. Look The one thing I see from Jonn , Guardian of Valor, Scottie, Military Phonies is they do their homework. They are not gonna call someone out Willy Nilly without being damn sure and having in black and white. They are the ones doing it right and I’m sure all of them will tell you that going off half Cocked based on solely on what someone suspects is wrong. Investigations require proof. And involves hard work. Doing the due diligence. Does that mean we shouldn’t mock and despise those legitimately called out? Hell no But I’ve always said leave outing to those. Who know what they are doing. They do this to preserve the honor of our service. Not to get famous for a video. You see by this article someone went off and falsely accused Jonn of being the Nazi in the pic. Just sayin

  5. Just because he has a hat with the 82nd patch doesn’t mean he ever served. If this site has taught me anything its that any fool with a little cash can buy all the military accoutrements his/her POSer heart desires.

    My grandfather fought in the Pacific during WW2 to end fascism/imperialism and keep the world free, so fuck those guys are their silly-assed salutes.

    1. “Just because he has a hat with the 82nd patch doesn’t mean he ever served.”

      My thoughts exactly.

      1. Yep, I’ve run into my share of posers. They usually give that deer in the headlights look when you ask them their MOS.

        I also tend to run into “retired CSMs and 1SGs” stocking shelves at Walmart.

        1. Speaking of Walmart, I ran into a guy wearing a WWII Veteran hat there last weekend. He wasn’t a day over 50, so I remarked that he seemed to have aged rather well. He stammered and stuttered, doing the deer-in-the-headlights look, then he hurried away, leaving behind his cart. I pointed out to one of the employees that it appeared one of their customers had apparently been called away.

  6. It doesn’t really look like a Nazi salute either it looks more like he is trying to imitate the pose in Michael Angelos’ “Portrait of David” and rather poorly too if you ask me (jes saying)

      1. Nice liberal arts touch! Think the only thing he could create though is a steaming 15 pound post-BBQ massive dump with a Dairy Queen swirl and dash of heavily fingerprinted toilet paper on top

    1. Was gonna say something similar. A proper Nazi salute is always rendered with the right arm (lived in Germany for many years, where this gesture can get you arrested). This clown looks like he is waving to Thor or Bubba, in anticipation of all the “personal attention” they’ll give him.

      1. Damn, shows what I know…thought it was his arthritic attempt at a Vulcan “live long and prosper” salutation

        1. Before my last trip to the sand box
          I was a reservist I worked for gaming
          In Nevada and work with tsu in a case
          Learn a lot about hate groups
          You name it the color every background has one
          Back and White tend to be the worse
          Because of the history

  7. Just an observation about this pack of tards. When did the Nazi’s salute with their left hands? I know I’m out of touch with their world but is this a new thing they started doing?

  8. Jonn, Jonn, Jonn. When are you going to learn when you have the balls to stand up for what is right and speak up, you become a target for every piss ant and ankle biter in the country. Keep fighting the good fight and F em.

  9. Stop calling poor Jonn, (202) 630-8468 there ya go. Call me instead, Jonn lost his give a shit a long time ago, I can get you in touch with someone that might have a little left.

    I actually enjoy talking to loons, gun nutz, libtards, Nazi’s, skinheads, end times prophecy types, LGBTQ and most other forms of the alphabet.

      Umm, just on the chance that you are a naked woman who is deaf and dumb and owns a liquor store…you will be given priority service.

      1. If we’re one of the first ten callers (who call now within the next 15 minutes), will we get anything special for $19.95 plus shipping and handling?

        1. Its ok, posers usually just scream so I cant understand a word they are saying anyway.

          After they calm down my response is always the same,

          “Mom…is that you?”

        1. C’mon, folks – please put a NSFW warning on stuff like that. Some folks read this site from work, and some workplaces have zero sense of humor – or tolerance for nudity.

          Plus, that one also needed a “brain bleach may be required” warning, too.

          1. Good point, its my fault brother. I added the warning.

            Its easy to forget people read this blog at work. I would hate to find out something posted directly or indirectly cost anyone their job.

            1. De nada, DH. Easy to forget, especially for commenters who aren’t contributors.

              I agree – last thing we want to see is someone diciplined at work (or fired) because they read this site.

              For being featured as a “guest of honor”? Different story.

      1. Last time she called me she threatened to show up at my door with some Kool Whip a Weed Eater and a Live Chicken.

        There is kinky and then there is her.

    1. At least even Hollywood got the name right:

      The American SOCIALIST White Peoples’ Party.

    2. “Illinois nazis!”

      “I hate Illinois nazis!”

      Classic! Jake and Elwood are my heroes

      1. Almost forgot this one:

        “Sir, we tracked down the car that ran you off the bridge. It belongs to Elwood Blues of Chicago. And the best part is…he’s a Catholic!”

    1. Something interesting about the Army Times story is that credit for the photo above was given to Katie Couric. Last we heard from her, she was inter-galactic news anchor for Yahoo! before CEO Marissa Mayer got canned, and poor Marissa had to walk with a meager $250 million for five years work.

      In point of fact, the photo was taken by Couric’s producers who were apparently doused in pee by those classy fellas giving the salute. Here’s a link along with an uncropped version of the image:

      http://www.thewrap.com/charlottesville-protesters-douse-journalists-urine-katie-couric-reports/

      1. sprayed Katie Couric’s producers with urine… just goes to show that everyone has redeeming qualities.

        1. I’m confused as to which side I’m supposed to hate and feel sorry for in this instance.

    1. exactly what I was thinking…when did this become a left handed thing?

      I suspect the entire anti-liberty crowd may be the victims of a gigantic trolling….

  10. All the pictures I have seen of these “militia” show a bunch of overweight idiots with no commonality of weaponry, dress, headgear, footwear, or manner of wear of their various acoutrements like bayonets, hunting knives, etc. The phrase ‘wannabe’ definitely comes to mind.

  11. But they are wearing military themed accesories! That makes them manly men doing manly things in manly ways.

    Looks to me like the organizer of the demonstration rounded up a bunch of homeless winos. Tomorrow they will be back on the street corners asking for spare change.

    Makes a truly inspiring recruiting poster; “Be All that you can be–in the Klan”. Or “The few, the proud, the Klan”.

    1. I think you are correct sir. The few fellows that I have met that were purported to be members were actually kind of scary individuals. These may be bona fide klan posers. I know there are Motorcycle club member posers, so why not these buttholes.

  12. From the New York Times;

    After a day of work at the Engineering Research Center at the University of Arkansas, Kyle Quinn had a pleasant Friday night in Bentonville with his wife and a colleague. They explored an art exhibition at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and dined at an upscale restaurant.

    Then on Saturday, he discovered that social media sleuths had incorrectly identified him as a participant in a white nationalist rally some 1,100 miles away in Charlottesville, Va. Overnight, thousands of strangers across the country had been working together to share photographs of the men bearing Tiki torches on the University of Virginia campus. They wanted to name and shame them to their employers, friends and neighbors. In a few cases, they succeeded.

    But Mr. Quinn’s experience showed the risks.

    A man at the rally had been photographed wearing an “Arkansas Engineering” shirt, and the amateur investigators found a photo of Mr. Quinn that looked somewhat similar. They were both bearded and had similar builds.

    By internet frenzy standards, that was proof enough.

    1. So, this is what’s going on.
      It is the leftish anti-fa dudes the ones calling people out without doing any research.

        1. And the Un-Free also tend to be inbred imbeciles, like their Anti-Free cousins.

          The whole fracas was like a drunken brawl at a strange thug-family re-union.

    2. Mob tactics on the internet. Who’d athunk it?
      And aren’t these same howling monkeys the ones who scream and cry and throw tantrums and furniture if people aren’t ‘nice’ to them, whatever that means?

      1. Jennifer Lawrence, an actress some say, has turned her 7 16 million Twitter followers loose, telling them to doxx anyone they know in any of the pictures to out them, notify their employers, family, friends and whatever.
        What could possibly go wrong with that?
        “That’s exactly what Jennifer Lawrence is doing. In a Facebook post directed at her 16,000,000 fans, Lawrence commanded: “These are the faces of hate. Look closely and post anyone you find,” and added, “You can’t hide with the internet you pathetic cowards!”

    3. I can sympathize with Mr. Quinn.

      I am frequently told by strangers that I look like their wife’s uncle or the guy that works at whatever, etc. I jokingly reply that as long as I don’t look like a “Wanted” poster I am okay with it. Once a woman came up to me and said that I looked like Nick Faldo, a professional golfer. I happened to see a golf tournament soon after, and she was right. It was eerie. As you say, same haircut, similar builds.

      So far, thankfully, I have been luckier than Mr. Quinn.

  13. Being from Detroit, my favorite hat is grey with an old english D on the front…Doesn’t mean I ever played for the Tigers. Societies IQ’s are dropping exponentially every day.
    With this line of thinking, every person with any sports apparel must be a fake professional athlete…Make America Smart Again!

  14. Those web sleuths should track this guy down. Claims to have gone on covert ops in Russia. Says he is not afraid to kill people. Hates LGBTQ types.

        1. As an American it makes me sad and disgusted.

          However, his idiotic actions in the last week has done democrats and the left a huge favor. Nobody has harmed more republican politicians and the GoP more than Trump.

          By the time the Trump presidency ends the careers of several top republicans will be destroyed and the GoP brand will be damaged for decades. If the party even survives his presidency intact.

          1. Lars, I’d imagine IDC SARC was being sardonic in asking you how you feel about it. It’s the kind of thing a doctor might ask a neurotic during a psychotherapy session. Apparently, since your humor DNA strand is missing, you didn’t get it.

            It’s also a real stretch for you to express concern over the GOP “brand” when you’ve been consistent about not giving a fuzzy flip in the past. Such triggers even my own bullshit meter, and I’ve got it set for a fairly high response level where you’re concerned.

      1. Did you even listen to the speech? or just read the huffpo account of it? He repeatedly called out the nazi’s the problem you lefties have is he also called out the scum on your side that showed up, without a permit, looking for a fight. TDS is showing again

        1. I do believe that the Kommissar gets his news from the top. You know, The Daily Kos, or, perhaps, even Alternet.

          1. He and Joe are definitely reality challenged… idiots like Joe are one reason I avoid the peoples republic of boulder as much as I can

  15. C’mon, these are the guys you snuggle in bed with, politically speaking. What’s a few patches between friends? Yeah, these are your people.

    1. Joe, you’re an idiot! This calling everyone you disagree with a nazi, while using nazi tactics yourself is getting old, and before long, you and clowns like you will just be the boy who cried wolf… have fun with that.

      1. Fyr – Joe shows his true colors every time he posts – he’s a bigot and racist that loves what Antifa and their buddies stand for. He’s a JEF disciple that loves to play the race card.

    2. Yeah? Just like the Khymer Rouge and Gulag Guards were “your people”, Joe.

      There are ignorant fools who are liberal, just like there are ignorant fools who are conservative.

      Now, please be so kind as to go FOAD.

      1. As one pundit put it, anti-facism should be the default position of the people of the US. So I guess you’re pro-fascist, like so many of the folks here? Pretty breathtaking that our parents and grandparents killed fascists, and people like you support (? are?) fascists.

        1. Happy Hump Day Joe.

          ..if you seriously think Antifa is antifascist and an organization with any value I suggest you first, find a better dictionary.

        2. I am thisclose to reporting Joey’s sorry ass.
          It’s obvious that his only purpose is to stir up trouble so that he can self-confirm his own prejudices.
          Besides that, he’s boring and repetitive.

    3. All you guys have to do is click the ‘report’ button and he’ll get a timeout if enough people do it.

    4. Somehow I doubt you are sincere enough in your beliefs to actually -show up- at the events and join in the action.

      You have probably decided that -you- have to stay safely Away, where you can best serve the Revolution.

      You will don your Brown Shirt, whoops – black hoodie, only when you believe your fellow Anti-Free thugs have won.
