More "buy-back" follies
« on: February 05, 2019, 04:37:20 PM »
New Orleans, now under the management of sumbroad named "Latoya," decided it would fight gun violence by that fool-proof method known as a "gun buy-back." The TL/DR version is that they promised $500 per gun (or, apparently, $500 per person, when they realized their mistake), and ran out of money right away.

Wonder if house break ins shot through the roof in the neighborhood around the church?

This would be funny if it wasn't the tax payer's money being flushed down the toilet.

I did that purposefully. I am losing patience with the silly names and spellings people have to give their kids (or themselves) anymore.

Money to pay for the buy-backs came from the Edward Wisner Donation, a charitable trust established in 1914, according to the city’s website.

This explains it all, it wasn't her money or the city's money. Just doing what Democrats do best, wasting someone else's money.

I give as much effort to these retarded names as I do to any given tranny's pronoun psychosis.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

That seems rather high for a "buy-back" price.

Referring to a woman, no matter if you agree with them or not as "Sumbroad" is not being polite.

Making fun of someone's name due to their ethnicity/race is not polite either.

There are other websites out there more accepting of being less than polite.
