I don't know why I think this story is so funny. I'm glad the culprits were caught. 

 

Take care out there. 

Helicopters

Yesterday, military helicopters were flying over head all day. At one point they were flying so low that they actually shook our RV. I couldn't find any information on drills going on in the area. Sometimes these things have a habit of going live. Anyway, here is some interesting info:

There are five military bases in Kansas.

Overall Mission: This base focuses on in-flight refueling not only for Air Force units, but also for all US military and US allied nation aircraft when needed.

They also train to carry and provide cargo, medical equipment, and personnel to units in mission.

Their aircraft is the KC-135 Stratotanker.

No Safe Spaces Part Two: Canceled

During the course of my daily perusing of the news, I came across this headline by way of the Daily Stormer (Whatever you may think of Andrew Anglin – the guy is hilarious!):

Two Vermont state troopers on paid leave during investigation into remarks made in online game

I wrote about this kind of thing before. To be honest, I actually thought at first that maybe this story could be fake. Oh no. It is far worse than that.

The officers in question were playing a (completely retarded looking game) called Mad Verse City. It is a rapping competition with robots where you fill in the blanks like the old Mad Libs game and then the robots turn it into rhymes and you win by how well received it is by the audience.

Apparently state senator of Vermont, Nasir Hashim received an email concerning the situation, which started the investigation.

The Bennington Banner has the information on the email:

“Hello Senator Hashim, I need to speak with someone about a non-violent but alarming incident that occurred recently among off-duty Vermont state troopers,” states the message Hashim received. Hashim later received another email with more details of the incident.

During a social evening with troopers and their wives, the source said they were playing an online game, Mad Verse City, during which the term “NAPA” was allegedly used by troopers in relation to the image of a “black urban person.”

“After multiple uses of this phrase, [the source] asked what it was and why it was funny,” reads the email. “They were surprised [the source] didn’t know and then explained it stands for ‘NORTH AMERICAN PAVEMENT APE.’ To say [the source] was upset is an understatement.”

The email states the group of troopers is the day shift group, which the source “does not normally align with politically ...” but nonetheless the source did not expect such behavior from Vermont State Troopers.

...Trooper Nathan Jensen, who the source said goes by the screen name Lil Cumdrop, allegedly wrote “If being racist is right, then I’ll never be wrong.”

“It is my hope [Trooper] Jensen and his role in the department receive appropriate scrutiny,” states the email to Hashim”

Wow. Just Wow. So you are hanging out with a group of people and they say something slightly offensive and you what? Write your frikken state senator and try to destroy their lives?

Let this be a lesson to all you gamers out there. Don't let easily offended Karen's hang out with you while playing online games. Or any other times for that matter.

The fact that they are taking this situation so seriously just shows the level of bizarro world we now live in. Good Grief.

Take care out there.
