I don’t find it surprising in the least that Urban Meyer was blissfully unaware of the local Quran burning scheduled hours after UF’s game tomorrow. But to find out from his players? The university’s police department didn’t think it was prudent to pass on a warning about it?
That’s cracker jack work there, fellas. Keep up the good show.
The UF PD had heard rumors that someone in Alachua County was creating a ‘climate of control and fear’.
In their defense, they mistakenly thought it was just Irwin blowing another Section 37F gasket against the internet people and other media scum.
Once the UF PD learned of the mistaken identity,
“The Christian fundamentalist threatening to burning a copy of the Koran this weekend was expelled from a previous church for Islamophobic behaviour and creating a ‘climate of control and fear’.

they thought it wise not to distract Irwin with the intel because they weren’t sure whether Gainesville is big enough to hold two malcontents at the same time.

still, I’d rather hang with a xenophobic redneck that a radical muslim anyday.

Why? Care to elaborate on the subtle nuances that make one of those personalities more endearing than the other?

Maybe because one of those personalities might just behead you if he doesn’t like your haircut, while the other probably wouldn’t…

Finding a radical Muslim in Alachua County is about as likely as finding Bigfoot. I checked with the Chamber of Commerce/local militia leaders. Sadly, there is no Radical Muslims-R-Us klavern to be found anywhere around Gainesville but there must be one around Murfreesboro nsfw

You’re saying the KKK no longer exists, I guess. Ok, I can buy that.

I won’t put words in your mouth if you won’t put them in mine. Deal?
Having said that, I will note that I haven’t seen any white-hooded people wielding a scimitar on television lately. Black-hooded ones, though? Check.

Regardless, offing a person because of their haircut or any other kind of physical attribute deemed objectionable has long been a reality reserved for those who are most likely to believe themselves off-able.
Which is to say, the perceived offability factor depends greatly on whether you are the potential off-er or the potential off-ee.

Uhhh…OK. I’m not sure what that had to do with the facts of either of my posts, but typing it apparently made you feel good.
If you ever get around to addressing what I said, I’ll be glad to discuss it further. Otherwise, I’ll just let you think you “won”. Good for you.

I lived in Florida for a while so I can say with certainty that the red neck is alive and well in the Sunshine State. One problem is that people from other parts confuse red necks with good ole boys. Good ole boys drive the pickups with the UGA tag on the front bumper and probably graduated from UGA. Red necks cannot afford the truck or the education. Good ole boys prefer khakis and golf shirts, red necks tend to wear jeans and tees or the ever popular wifebeater. Wifebeaters better showcase all those jailhouse tatoos. One can really enjoy watching the Dawgs in a bar full of good ole boys. Red neck bars can be dangerous and should be avoided. Unless one is fond of knife wounds.
