What a dispicable POS. I keep typing and then erasing because this character upsets me so much. Calgary isn’t exactly a bastion of compassion, but it has gotten better over the years. That this creep and his cohorts are my fellow citizens shames me. ---

I thought there was an omnibus religion pit thread, but I’m not finding it. And, this isn’t really a “stupid MFers” story but more of an “evil religious MFers” story. I also searched and don’t see any recent postings about it, but it could be out there. Fucking assholes. Unbelievable cruelty and evilness, all in the name of religion. > **[Report shows ‘astonishing’ depravity in sexual abuse of more than 600 in...](https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2023/apr/05/report-shows-astonishing-depravity-in-sexual-abuse/)** > > The attorney general released Wednesday a report revealing child sexual abuse within Baltimore’s archdiocese and efforts to cover it up. ---

It’s like saying that an organization called “White Women Power” just wants women’s rights. She’s an anti-trans advocate pushing bigotry. ---

> [@SuntanLotion](#): > > Oh, okay. So its okay to assault people like that then. We’re safely in the pit, so I think it’s safe for me to say that your last two posts have been extremely disingenuous and trolly. In the first post, you framed the question in a way that was dishonest, and your post’s missing relevant information was supplied by other posters. In your second post, you posted a complete non sequitur, putting words in other posters’ mouths. No, we’re not as stupid as you seem to think, that you would get away with this amazingly lame tactic. Side note: this isn’t even a good thread for this incident to be discussed, as the only stupid MFer in the story is the person you are defending. ---

Here’s how Fox News is promoting this: > **[Women's group slams ambush of ex-Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines at San...](https://www.foxnews.com/sports/womens-group-slams-ambush-ex-kentucky-swimmer-riley-gaines-san-francisco-state-absolutely-ludicrous.amp)** > > The Independent Women’s Forum released a statement early Friday morning condemning an incident at San Francisco State, where former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was ambushed. The [IWF](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Women's_Forum) is a nonprofit group that was created as a “conservative alternative to feminist tenets”. The “evidence” of an assault in that article is a chaotic video that seems to be from a cell phone, and all I can see is Gaines being escorted by police as protestors chant. I’m not saying an assault didn’t occur, but police were there and nobody was arrested so I am pretty skeptical. Everything I can see is that **she** claims she was “hit twice by a man”. That’s it. I’m not going to take her word for it, so it’s useless to ask if I condone it. Riley’s a total anti-trans bigot though, and a darling on the right for it. > **[Ex-Collegiate Swimmer Riley Gaines Calls Trans Star Dylan Mulvaney's Nike...](https://radaronline.com/p/riley-gaines-slams-nike-for-partnership-with-dylan-mulvaney/)** > > Riley Gaines, an outspoken anti-trans in sports advocate, slammed Nike for partnering with Dylan Mulvaney. ---

> [@Atamasama](#): > > **she** claims she was “hit twice by a man”. If the eight police officers present didn’t see it, it probably didn’t happen. At least it did not leave any marks. The peaceful sit-down demonstration is not an assault, especially when Gaines said that she would welcome people who wasn’t agreeing with her.
