(Here comes the Thing!)
We seem to be piling up bizarre and distressing nooze stories. Have people forgotten how to behave themselves?
This month in Danville, VA, a nut burst into a lawyer’s office and doused the occupant with five gallons of gasoline (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/breaking-virginia-lawmaker-doused-gasoline-set-fire-his/). The victim managed to run outside, but the attacker caught him and set him on fire. By some miracle of Providence, the victim hasn’t died. Police have released very little in the way of information. Only that “the attack appears to be personal.”
So what’s going on? Is it just the social media jacking things up as they compete for views; or is our culture really melting down? You’ve got a problem with someone, so you kill him?
I just heard a website host ballyhoo his site for its “true crime” offerings, as if it were some form of entertainment. (“As if?” Hum baby!)
I think I’ll sit outside and try not to think about it.
[Why The Thing? Well, they set the Thing on fire, didn’t they? But that was before anybody realized you didn’t have to wait for a flying saucer to land before you torched somebody.]
