Rednecks attempt shooting rampage against. . . Pokemon

[someoneyouknow]

Sometimes, you just can't make up this shit.

Two men were arrested in Boston after allegedly threatening violence against the Pokemon World Championship, Boston police confirmed Sunday.

Security personnel at the Hynes Convention Center flagged threatening social media posts to Boston police Thursday, which prompted an investigation at the venue. Hours later, according to police, two men were detained as they tried to enter the event.

The men, identified as Kevin Norton, 17, and James Stumbo, 27, drove from Iowa and had several weapons in their vehicle, which was seized after the pair failed to produce a license to carry firearms.

The two were released Thursday as authorities sought a search warrant for the vehicle, which they obtained Friday. Police found a 12-gauge Remington shotgun, an AR-15 rifle, several hundred rounds of ammunition and a hunting knife.

Iowa is not the home of Rednecks...

He not only includes the poor southern whites in his definition, but those of the rural mid-west and west and those who were forced off the land during the 30's and later during the great post war urbanization.

The term they want is "po' white trash," not "redneck."


A redneck is simply a Caucasoid who labors outside in the sun.


From Wiki:

White trash vis-a-vis cracker, hillbilly, Okie, and redneck[edit]
In common usage, "White trash" overlaps in meaning with "cracker" (regarding Georgia and Florida), "hillbilly" (regarding Appalachia)," Okie" (regarding Oklahoma origins), and "redneck".[7] The main difference is that "redneck," "cracker", "Okie", and "hillbilly" emphasize that a person is poor and uneducated and comes from the backwoods with little awareness of the modern world, while "White trash" emphasizes the person's moral failings

That hits the nail on the head.


See Tobacco Road, Barn Burning, A Walk on the Wild Side, and The Beans of Egypt, Maine.

Never play cards with a man called Doc. Never eat at a place called Mom's. Never sleep with a woman whose troubles are worse than your own.

Or trailer trash...



Got to keep the players straight.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

That all depends on which holler you're up in.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Trailer trash is less racist and sexist.



Very inclusionary!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

The best kind of trash is . . . taken out.


That's a very inclusionary concept, too.


As long at it includes the Purposefully Delusional . . . .

And Mexican will keep you regular, too.


I'd like to have a Mexicana . . . regular.
