Idiot college students arrested for setting church fires in Alabama

Words like idiots, morons or stupid fucking jerks don’t begin to do these guys justice.

Here’s the story.

Good job guys. Destroy a bunch of private property and your own lives for a “joke”.

I’d like to offer a retraction. In the Pit thread I started on this a month or so ago, I postulated that the fires were started by either racist bastards (silly on the face of it, since 5 were predominantly white churches,) or meth-addled redneck losers.

I was wrong. They were affluent college students. Sorry, all you racist, meth-addled redneck losers. :slight_smile:

A “joke?” What the motherFUCK, you numbnuts?

…not directed at Kolak.

Oh I knew what you meant Ogre, don’t worry. :smiley:

I don’t think numbnuts is strong enough. This strikes me as a special kind of stupid that deserves its own phrase. I’m going to have to work on it.

Geeze, I don’t follow the news all that often (I can’t imagine why :rolleyes:), but I happened to catch this on the news a few days ago. I remember thinking it was probably some racist group, like the KKK or something (I didn’t hear that they were mainly white churches). I’m as hard an atheist as any you’ll ever meet. When a church is destoyed by an earthquake, mudslide or meteor strike (as long as no one was injured, so don’t send angry emails!) I get a little tingle of satisfactory smugness. But, this…this just pisses me off. If these fuckers are guilty, I hope they get the maximum they can get for whatever they can be charged with.

How about “peckerwood”?

Stoopid smilie prioritizing.

No, I don’t think that’s punishment enough. :smiley:

I read that article, getting more and more confused:

On the one hand, hunting. On the other arson. The connection? This doesn’t even make stupid sense.

“Holy shit, the police are on to us! They think we burned a bunch of churches!” “I have it! We should burn MORE churches…in OTHER PLACES!”

How was this ever IN hand? How do you start joking about burning places of worship?

What does that even MEAN?

No part of this makes sense! Did I wake up in Stupid World?

I’m dying to know what the joke was supposed to be.


“The Aristocrats?”

Now that’s a good joke! :smiley:

Well, you weren’t the only one who got it wrong:

I’ve been trying to parse it myself. I honestly think they’re trying to make it all go away with “Oops. My bad.”

I personally don’t find it surprising that they were into weed at the least. Maybe they also did recreational “huffing” at some point? Somehow they killed off a lot of brain cells. “Jackass” has nothing on these guys. :eek:

Wow, college students who are into weed. I’m sure it really has a lot to do with that.

Almost every single person I know is “into weed,” and as far as I know nobody is burning down churches. Violent behavior goes hand in hand with alcohol, not marijuana.

If you’d read further you’d have seen I said at the least, and wondered if they had also been huffing. :rolleyes: In other words, I’m positing that weed is the least of their recrational drug choices, and possibly the most “harmless”.

Tell me about it
Marley23 If I explain it then it won’t be funny anymore. :rolleyes:

Well, it was kinda funny (at first anyway, then it got old… "Yes, we’ve seen this already, why don’t you burn something new? A synagogue maybe or a women’s clinic or a string of Waffle Houses or gas stations that are closed for the night. Arson’s a tough and competetive business- you’re only as good as your last vandalism and the public’s got a short memory.

I’m glad I’m not alone. There were a few churches that closed around here due to poor attendence. I remember having that exact feeling you describe. There was a story in the newspaper, and they quoted someone saying something along the lines of “I have no idea why we couldn’t find more worshippers!”.

I thought it would be sort of obvious.

Hey…my first hijack! :stuck_out_tongue:

Clearly they should be. Or at least the safety of those who have to live in society with you.

Apparently they were.

Considering how many you must have consumed for this to seem like a good JOKE, they must have been.

Oh they probably will be now.

At least in ways you never imagined.

I imagine there ain’t nuthin’ like being 19 or 20 in federal prison to make your love lives fruitful. :eek:

What a bunch of spoiled, silver spoon fed, little shits you bastards are! Under age, but you sure as shit know where to get plenty of beer. And weed. So guess what? Let’s go driving around in the SUV Mom and Dad gave you, with our hunting rifles of course and find something to do 'cause we’re BORED!!!

The more times I read this article I see them as being overindulged little turds with very disinterested parents. And a strong sense of being entitled to entertainment at all times, oblivious to the effect on anyone else.
