Video going around my FB. Small town Tn. These are kids in Halloween costumes.
another news story a few hours from me (but close enough I see it on FB) showed a Sevierville commissioner said a "Queer was running for president" and a few other things. It's sad. It really is. I think googling finds more comments on being a white man etc.

That is quite possibly the grossest Halloween costume I've ever seen. What the fuck is wrong with people?!?! ETA: You know, the more I think about this, the more enraged I get... I want to know what parent thought this was okay? Do they WANT their kids to be gunned down in the streets, because that's how to get your kid gunned down in the street. Here's my favorite take on the Severville politician... VIDEO |

Disgusting. What are the chances their parents are not part of the 43%? Is it too much to hope they were turned away at every door? schizo319 that’s a pretty great video Admittedly I felt bad laughing at such a terrible occurrence, especially because those it needs to reach may not be aware enough to know he is making fun of them and realize they need to do some self-reflection. I don’t remember the outcome, if he got to keep his seat, will have to go look it up. Country Ham I think there is a pea thread dedicated to that video if you’re interested. |

It's disgusting and there is absolutely nothing funny about it.

This is the Latest News that I could find on the TN councilman. It appears that he does still have his job, but there's a petition to censure him (I'm not even exactly sure what that means), his comments have been largely condemned and there have been calls for his resignation. How much of that is trying to "save face" because they're afraid it will hurt tourism, I don't know. |

Disgusting that the children would want to dress that way, but even more so that their parents allowed/condoned it.

are they children??
there is no way i could put candy in their bag and *not* say something to the effect of "uh. you need to move on. what were you thinking??".
i would rather see 1000 of the so-called-offensive costumes (pirates, princess jasmin or mulan, etc, etc) than one kid dressed like this.
and i would kick my kids ASS if they thought "yah, but it's funny".
no, it's not. and i am a failure as a parent if you think it is.

Okay, I have a solid "wear whatever you want and I'll give you candy" Halloween policy, but if that passel of assholes showed up at my door, I'd tell them to pound sand.
TERRIBLE. Shame on ALL of them. Children, but old enough to know they're doing something terribly wrong and hateful.
ETA: I'm thinking they're teens? Someone is driving that car.

Are they kids? Can’t really tell, so they could be teens or they could be young adults. Either way, it’s disgusting, and extremely disturbing that there were that many who thought it was a good idea.

I’ll say that’s the scariest costume I’ve ever seen. I can handle witches and vampires but people that are so filled with hate that they would dress their kids like that, that’s pure evil.

If they showed up at my house dressed like that it would get ugly very quickly. |

I’m honestly shocked that people are shocked about this. This is what a large segment of our country is, and has been since the beginning. In recent times it was more hidden, but ever since we elected a black man as president, certain people began to crawl out from under their rocks, encouraged by increasingly vicious media outlets and the new political and public tone against what they coded as “political correctness.”
In fact, I’d bet every buck in my pocket that if you asked the parents of these lovely citizens what they thought of these costumes, they would roll their eyes and tell you it was a joke and not to be so pc.
(Who knows? Maybe they got it from good old dad’s closet.)

You know their parents paid for their “costumes”.

I think if I saw that coming down my street, I’d be turning out my porch light and calling the cops in case they got any other brilliant ideas. That’s not only sad, it’s downright scary.  |

First, I doubt these are kids. They are probably older teens or young adults.
With that said, they are disgusting assholes. Like a previous poster, I give candy to everybody, but these people would not get a damn thing from me.
That small town is much bigger than my small town, but here, I would figure out where they ended up and who they were. That type of shit needs to be outed (I know that town is bigger because, at 1500 people, we aren't big enough for a Little Ceasars).
