Pathological reads awful tweets from awful people

Twitter

The patrons in that bar were innocent and didn’t deserve to die. How would you feel if someone you loved was in that bar and they were killed? Would you go on Twitter saying the things that you are saying now? It’s really sad and disgusting to wish death upon innocent people all
because you are an ignorant homophobe.

 Twitter
Gay people are not animals and don’t deserve to be hunted down and killed like they are. Why are people applauding this man like he did such a good deed? He walked into a club and he killed 50 innocent people all because he seen two men kissing. This is the worst massacre in U.S. History! We should be shaming people like this because society can’t function properly if people have to worry about being killed just walked down the street.

Twitter

There was nothing good about the Orlando Shooting. Innocent people were killed! I honestly wish there were less homophobes like you in this world. It’s really sad and disturbing that two consenting adults can’t be in a loving relationship without other people trying to dictate their happiness. Maybe we should put all the hateful homophobic people on one little island so you all can be hateful together and let society function with less hatred.
Twitter
God’s moral code is completely fucked up. He allows innocent people to die and does nothing! You cannot sit here and use your god as a justifiable reason to say the deaths of 50 people is okay.


Twitter


God finds gay people offensive, while people are dying every day and he has the power to stop it? But does he? No he does not! He does absolutely nothing. Again, you are using your god as a justifiable reason to hate those in the LGBT Community.    

Twitter

As an ‘individual’ you are disgusting and foul. How are you able to find happiness in the deaths of innocent people? YOU are the filthy one here because no honest loving person would sit here and say these things about anyone whom hasn’t harmed or hurt others. Two consenting adults should not be killed for being in a consensual and loving relationship.     
Twitter


You’ve got a twisted sense of humor. I don’t find anything funny about 50 people being killed. Maybe I missed the punch line here? Yes, most Republicans have anti-LBGT stance and most Democrats are Pro-LBGT. I still can’t see the humor in it. It doesn’t matter if he was a Muslim, Christian, atheist whatever! The point is the man went into a club with the intention to kill and that’s exactly what he did. I find nothing about that humorous. You are vile for finding this funny!
Facebook

‘There’s nothing wrong with shooting a few gays?’ Let me tell you something, yes there is something wrong with shooting ‘a few gays’ in fact there is something wrong with you if you think that shooting innocent people is perfectly okay thing to do! You really do need help if you can sit there and laugh at the pain and suffering the families of the victims are going through. It’s mind boggling that some of you people have no kind of remorse and are quick to spew their hatred to fit their biblical agenda. Disgusting!
Facebook

‘Disrespecting natural order?’ What in the flying fuck does that even mean? Scientists have proven that being attracted to the same-sex isn’t something that you choose! In fact you don’t choose what gender you are attracted to, so can we please stop with this lie that everyone is born heterosexual! Yes the gunman was right about one thing and that’s exposing the truth about most religions and how some people are so indoctrinated into them, that they are willing to take the lives of other people because their ‘holy text’ tells them to do so. Any religion that tells you that it is okay to physically or mentally harm someone isn’t a religion worth following. No religion should encourage harm towards those that don’t deserve it.
Facebook

Gay people are not sick. There is nothing wrong with being attracted to the same-sex. You may not understand the attraction but that doesn’t give a right to judge someone harshly. Please further educate yourself it will get you far you know.

Twitter


Again, some of you are perfectly okay with the fact that people have been murdered for being who they are; and it’s just disturbing as fuck. I don’t understand how two men or two women in a consenting relationship affect your life so much that you have to wish death upon them. LGBT Community contributes just as much as the rest of society. We take their money in taxes, they work like everyone else and all they want is to be treated like everyone else. Basic human rights! You may not contribute anything to society but don’t label every single person in a community as worthless when you have no idea how large and influential this community has been.

Twitter

The patrons in that club all were innocent! I fail to find the humor in innocent people dying. How would you feel if someone you loved were in that club and were killed? You wouldn’t be on Twitter making this dumbass comment.

Facebook

Okay, not only are you demanding the deaths of innocent people because your religion says so; but you are asking that the police get sued because they did their jobs in stopping a maniac who had already killed nearly 50 people? Are you fucking insane!!! This is why we have a separation of church and state. You can have your religion and you can practice is as much as your heart desires, but the moment you try to infringe on other people rights that’s when it becomes a problem. The government can’t support an ideology but it can support your right to practice it as long as it follows within the law of the land which is the constitution!

Facebook

There are literally 4,000 religions out there with so many gods to choose from. How do you know that you picked the right one, and how do you know if that really is the word of god? I can say that every single comic book is proof that superman exists.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I don’t give a fuck what your god thinks because his moral code is awful. I really don’t think he exists and this is just your own personal opinion which is a hateful one at that. You’re an abomination for writing this tweet.

Facebook










Hey everyone this guy has it all figured out. You aren’t born gay, you are born hetero and it’s all your parents fault because they didn’t properly raise you and this is why people turn ‘gay’. Yep, I guess that means we can just toss all the science research that has concluded your sexual orientation isn’t a choice. Good job man! What are we going to do with the people who didn’t get ‘properly raised by their parents’? Kill them all? Yes we are going to shove millions of people into bars and blow them up. It’s nice to hear how you are such a good Christian and how loving and tolerant you are of other people who aren’t even harming anyone.

The reason I decided to write this post was to display the type of hatred that the LGBT Community faces on a daily basis. There is nothing wrong with loving who you are and being attracted to the same-sex. We as a society need to stick together more than ever, especially in the light of the massacre that took place in Orlando. None of those people deserved to die, and it’s tragic that even if we have gradually moved forward. There are still people who truly believe that this was the act of god and this was a just act. These people support terrorism and hatred, we as a society cannot function properly if people have to worry about being killed just going to a bar to have a good time.

Please remember you can have your opinion and you can wear your opinion but you cannot enforce that opinion onto others.

KOBE, MJ, and TWITTER: A Weird Mix

We asked our sports' panel about live tweeting.  Here are their thoughts.

Kobe Bryant was live-tweeting his 81-point performance which was re-aired last week on NBA TV. Which sports’ figure, past or present, would you like to see live tweet their paramount, career event?

Here’s what the panel wrote:

  • “Keeping it current, I would love to have Raul Ibanez live tweet his game tying HR & Walk-off HR against the Baltimore Orioles in the 2012 ALDS.”—C. McLain
  • Marshawn Lynch—Beast Mode” against the New Orleans Saints in the playoffs.”—Dan P
  • Araon Rodgers’ 2010 Super Bowl run.”—Johnny J
  • “I would love to have seen Michael Jordan live tweeting about the D.C. Wizards at MSG vs the New York Knicks on March 9 2003. A 39 year-old Jordan scored 39 points in 43 minutes of action.  The Wiz were battling for a playoff spot in Jordan's final year. He out-played the combined effort of everyone in that game.  I watched this game while it was happening on NBC, MJ wanted to win the game so bad, but Latrell Spreewell & the Knicks ended up winning.  The most impressive effort I have watched during a basketball game.”—Donny R

Very interesting choices and Dan's choice is one of the funniest videos out there.  Is it racist?  That's for Daniel Tosh to decide.  

I had a hard time coming up with one event I would have liked to have seen be live-tweeted.  So I will share five instead:

  • Michael Jordan playing with the flu at Utah in the NBA Finals.
  • Kerry Wood’s 20 strikeout game.
  • Peyton Manning and Ray Lewis playing a game of chess… or at least live-tweeting the last game they will every play against each other. 
  • Patrick Kane live-tweeting the game-winning goal to clinch the Stanley Cup Championship for the Chicago Blackhawks.  Also, live-tweeting how he celebrated afterwards would be just as, if not more, interesting.
  • And staying in the NHL, the greatest hockey game I have ever watched was on March 26, 1997 between the Colorado Avalanche and the Detroit Red Wings.  Not a fan of the goonery, but one can’t deny the raw emotion and the venom that was spewed throughout this hockey game.  Just figuring out who would be best qualified to do a live-tweet is proving to be difficult.  Do we go with the captains, Joe Sakic and Steve Yzerman? Or do we ask guys like Kris Draper  and/or Darren McCarty to give us their take while countering with Claude Lemieux for the Avalanche?  How about the goalies, Patrick Roy and Mike Vernon who most likely had the best, on-ice view of the whole scene before they got involved with the fighting?  What about the coaches?  So many potential candidates.   

Speaking of Kobe, the Los Angeles Lakers, fan or hater question: how happy/mad are you about their season so far?

No one has gotten more glee out of the Lakers’ struggles this season than me.  I’m a Laker-hater and thinking about them literally makes my blood boil.  Yes, Kobe Bryant has back-to-back games of 14 assists, but with all that talent, it is an absolute joke that they’re not living up to the hype.  With that being said, let’s see what everybody else thinks of the Lake Show this season.

“I’m mad!  I wanted to see some competitiveness in the playoffs. It won't be as intense if Kobe's not in it.”—Johnny J
I think these playoffs will be more competitive than ever.  It is almost near unpredictable to forecast what will happen tomorrow in the NBA, let alone what will happen in the playoffs.  One thing is for sure, however, and that is that come playoff time, the stakes are raised a bit higher and the games get more intense.  Besides, there’s plenty of storylines in the NBA outside of Kobe and the Lakers.  The playoffs will be fine.

  • “They were purple and bold, but now about to fold--in 2013.”-- Dan P
  • “Hater and happy because, like in actual chemistry, when you mix elements that don’t sit well with each other, the whole experiment explodes.”-- C. McLain
  • “If I cared any less, it'd still be too much.”-- Donny R

So the panel was harsh on the Lakers and rightfully so.  It was reported by David Schuster on WSCR THE SCORE 670AM that Kobe was still sitting an hour-and-a-half after the game against the Chicago Bulls by his locker stall, just pondering and trying to figure out what to do with the Lakers.  We give it up to Kobe: he’s a true professional, he cares about winning, and he tries every game.  

But knowing his past as a spoiled, child-like, NBA player, all of these recent struggles couldn't have happened to a more qualified person. 

So it’s safe to say that PATHOLOGICAL HATE will continue to hate on Kobe and the Lakers.

How do we fix the Lakers besides making Kobe Bryant the team's de facto point guard? Dan Plotsky has the answers.  Read Part I and Part II
