quote:

Debra Gureghian, the general manager of New River Pizza and Fresh Kitchen in Fort Lauderdale, said that Sayoc worked as a delivery truck driver for several months until he quit in January.

“He was crazed, that’s the best word for him,” she said. “There was something really off with him.”

The white van he drove to deliver pizzas was covered in disturbing images, she said, so the restaurant required him to park it on the side where it could not be seen.

“It was puppets with their heads cut off, mannequins with their heads cut off, Ku Klux Klan, a black person being hung, anti-gay symbols, torchings, bombings you name it, it was all over his truck,” Gureghian said.

He was kept on because he did his work reliably and good drivers are hard to find, she said. But he disturbed his co-workers with racist comments and texts.

“He was very angry and angry at the world, at blacks, Jews, gays,” she said. “He always talked about ‘if I had complete autonomy none of these gays or these blacks would survive.’ He never said he would kill them or murder them or bomb them he just said ‘if I had complete autonomy the gays, the black and Jews would not survive.’ He was very, very strange.”

But good drivers are really hard to find so we just asked him to park in the back. Wouldn't want to take a job away from an upstanding white guy

While some of these people undoubtedly suffer mental illness, I think that in general it is a deflection tactic to suggest that the primary issue is that people have a mental illness, rather than that this is a white supremacist country that normalizes fascism and fascist political violence.

Thank you! It gets really tiring any time a mass shooting, or... I guess bombing, occurs and knowing full well that they're going to beat the mental illness drum if the dude is white.

I sometimes worry that some dam is going to burst and the pitchforks are going to come out for me.

The amount of advertising they're doing here is wild so I believe it. Lots of scaremongering about Prop 8 being state-sanctioned murder of dialysis patients and stuff.

It'll probably pass. I think.

They have been running ad after ad after motherfucking ad in this state saying basically, without qualification whatsoever, that if Prop 8 passes, every single dialysis patient here will die soon afterwards. The idea, that if you cut our exorbitant fees even a half a percent we'll have no option but to fold up shop and let people die in the streets is some pretty ballsy, hostage taking poo poo and by the way gently caress this stupid country. Jesus Christ.

I didn't intend it to be a deflection tactic in this case. An entire side of my family suffers from genetic mental issues and one member of my extended family is in state care, one is in prison, and the rest probably fall on some sort of spectrum of mental health needs. Anecdotally there does seem to be some sort of correlation between someone having serious mental health issues and latching on to right wing brain poison.

My bad, when I say "it's a deflection tactic," I mean in the general sense. Like, yes, undoubtedly it is in some ways mental health issue, but many of these people are just loving Nazis.
