Hurricane Irma: Bringing Out the Stupid in Florida

by

Screen Capture

Natural disasters bring out the best and worst in people. Typically the worst, as defined by mass media, is black people looting; white people merely ‘find’ food in hurricanes.

Watching Twitter today, I have seen some amazing people doing their best under trying circumstances. And then there are the… less than amazing people.

We won’t know if any of these people actually ending up qualifying for the Darwin Awards until later. In order to qualify they have to contribute to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool via death or sterilization by their own actions.

And some of them are just, well, not very smart.

Without further ado:

There were just too many media people trying to get the crap kicked out of themselves for ratings.

Taken at the southernmost point by a live cam, which was knocked off the air later on.

The picture in question was taken earlier this week at the Mexico City airport… Mexico, Miami, both start with an M, right?

Grrrr… These people ought to be…

Gotta love those gun nuts….

The shooting probably stopped shortly thereafter…

I could see this happening in San Diego (And it would be just as stupid)

I know, it’s all a conspiracy.

Most people I’ve met with boats were smarter than that.

What’s worse than being stuck in a hurricane? Being stuck with her in a hurricane.

Gives new meaning to trickle down.

I’ll add some more if time allows.
