Ricky Mathews, you stupid fascist, I fucking hate you
So, be me, live on the coast of MS. I'm driving somewhere stupid to do something I hate, and naturally, I fiddle with the radio a bit during a red light. On comes this fucker (103.1 WOSM if memory serves) so fucking old you can hear his skin rustling. He was talking about that plane that crashed with a helicopter. You know what Shithead thought? First thing that comes to his mind is DEI.
60+ people just had the worst day of their lives, and this dumb fucking baboon thought the best course of action was to blame some hypothetical disabled air traffic controller. For all he knows, this could be a very healthy, white cis man that made a genuine mistake (possibly not even that). Then someone in his little C Spire live chat pointed out that, in fact, the helicopter was 300 feet above where it should have been *fucking obviously*. This mans said he's done this shit before, and somehow in his aviation training, somehow he didn't fucking know that planes shouldn't be anywhere near helicopters. Talking about DEI this and DEI that. Like he actually cares. Best case scenario, he's just ableist. Let's be honest though, he's just a racist sexist piece of shit.
His first instinct in a massive tragedy was blame a group of people who are already going through it, the people who work at that radio tower as well as minorities in general.
Shithead then started sucking the ring of Trump's asshole with honeyed words, and it just made me think that this man is not exceptional. There is nothing special about him. Statistically, half the people you know are this vile, publicly or not.
You know the kicker? According to Forbes, the tower was understaffed. Elevating more people into that field in D.C. could have prevented this.

Here are things to say when you find a shithead like Shithead irl: his main argument was that "people with any kind of disability shouldn't be in any job where if they fuck up someone dies." That's being charitable. For one, you don't just get into these jobs. This shit requires months of training. If you couldn't do it, you would have been filtered. Simple as. In general though, this is a dumb argument pushed by eugenicists.
There are few jobs that you couldn't fuck up and ruin someone's life. Charge someone's card too much at the grocery store? They can't pay their car payment now. Don't cook a customer's food properly? Congratulations. You killed a family of four via ecoli. You're a bad driver? One mistake on your part could kill anyone any day now. This is a weak argument made to attack measures that aim to prevent situations like this. Their way of thinking is a slippery slope, and it wants to remove people requiring any amount of accomodation from the workforce without caring whether or not they have a means to live. Point this out when you hear it.
This was on The Ricky Mathews Show. I cannot 100% say that this was Ricky Mathews, but it sounded like him and it was on his show. This kind of terrorising of victims is vile and must be rooted out. If I were C Spire, I wouldn't want my name associated with this man or his filthy station...
