"If you’ve ever owned a cat, you know that on occasion it won’t use the box. If you’re careless about cleaning it or don’t have a sufficient number of boxes, cats will often find someplace else to do their business. But, what you’d never consider doing after finding a misplaced poop is torture and kill the animal. Sadly, that’s true for all of us but Douglas Hamlin, the new head of the National Rifle Association.
According to media reports, which are based on court records, Hamlin’s fraternity had a cat named BK living in the frat house. After the cat refused to use the box a number of times, fraternity members took the cat out, cut off his paws, strung him up, and then burned him to death. One of the fraternity members felt guilty afterwards and confessed to friends, who then reported the incident to police, who charged them all with animal cruelty (a misdemeanor in 1979-80). Other reporting and a purported internal NRA e-mail indicates that Hamlin was not directly involved in the torture and killing, but was charged after the fact for participating in an effort to cover the crime up".
I wish to start off by apologizing to the Group if I can’t be ‘Objective or Neutral’ here.
I’m going to try but I have the feeling I may fail @ this by the end of my comments.
Our Society has been Corrupted. Money and Power has replaced Honor and Respect.
The NRA is no different.
They replace one self-serving scumbag with another, Lapierre’s ‘Board’ was riddled with Corruption and now this shiny new penny is already tarnished maybe/hopefully permanently.
The killing of ‘BK’ the Cat may seem trivial to some with all the Horror’s we’ve had to face recently. Million’s of Livestock, Birds and Chicken’s have been killed through the deeds of this Corrupt administration, and weather you acknowledge it or not this same administration has Murdered a sh!t ton of human’s with their Vax’s, Mandates and Shelter in Place Isolation.
So, What’s one more Cat?
I’ll tell you TRUE, It’s a BIG DEAL for the fact that the members of this Goof’s Fraternity did this EVIL deed but this Fxxk COVERED IT UP!
No Personal responsibility, NO Honor, Sweep it under the rug! and move on (after all:’ It’s just a Cat!’ amirite?) WRONG.
People in Seats of Power have been getting away with KILLING INNOCENTS since positions of power were created.
DOUGLAS HAMLIN should forfeit his Seat because he has NO MORAL Character, He’s just another NRA Axxhole in a Longline if NRA Axxholes.
“The NRA’s bad habit of choosing problem leaders isn’t something we’re obligated to reflexively defend. The gun rights movement and the wider conservative world doesn’t owe the NRA a duty to go down with the ship (again). Instead, we should be reminding people that the NRA isn’t us, and doesn’t represent anybody but their members who are a small fraction of gun owners. We should also speak out against evil things like animal cruelty instead of trying to minimize and defend it”.
Being a Member of The NRA was something to be proud of a longtime ago. I was. I put that sticker on my Cars proudly. I never became a ‘Lifer’ but once they started slipping down the greasy corrupt slope I stopped supporting them. They have brought NOTHING to the table for years to Support and Defend any ‘Gun Rights’ or 2nd Amendment Actions for a Long time.
I’m STILL a Member in good standing w/ the NYSRPA though because they suit up and Do great work for Gunner’s everyday such as New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen and New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. City of New York (even though I haven’t lived in NYS for (29) years+) These folks have been in the fight since 1871 ! They have my RESPECT The NRA? Not so much…
The NRA picked the wrong guy once again.
My two cents.
