They’re All Fucking Short-Bus People
May 19, 2021 at 9:03 am
And attorneys wonder why people don't like them.
Quote:In an interview with Talking Points Memo, Chansley‘s lawyer, Albert Watkins, suggested that his client’s mental state, combined with the impact of Donald Trump’s “propaganda” efforts to convince people the election was stolen and that they should storm the Capitol, will play a part in his defense. All of which sounds reasonable! Then Watkins said this: “A lot of these defendants—and I’m going to use this colloquial term, perhaps disrespectfully—but they’re all fucking short-bus people. These are people with brain damage, they’re fucking retarded, they’re on the goddamn spectrum.”

They're the victims? I call bullshit.

On an Irish forum this was posted and the immediate response was "what does 'short-bus people' mean?"
The best response was that it was the US equivalent, and as offensive as, "windowlickers" over here.

"These aren’t bad people, they don’t have prior criminal history. Fuck, they were subjected to four-plus years of goddamn propaganda the likes of which the world has not seen since fucking Hitler.”
That's good stuff. Funny stuff. Not a good defense as much as grounds for class action. "Did you or a member of your family show signs of mental impairment after exposure to Trump? Call now."

They are, it's a tragedy - but doing illegal shit because you were propagandized isn't really a distinction that our courts have ever cared to make. Alot of perpetrators were and are and always have been victims of some other crime that maybe some other person should be held accountable for.....any fucking time now - stop worrying about The Institution.
The reason that the victimization claim of contemporary white supremacy plays is that they very much are being victimized...just not by the who and what they think. They're being eaten by their own.

Now I'm confused. The French term for window shopping, lèche-vitrine, literally means window licking.

True, but the Anglo-Irish term ‘window licker’ literally means ‘a licker of windows’.
