A man who called residents of fire-ravaged Gatlinburg, Tenn., “Trump-suckin pond scum” has lost his job.
“Funny story. I was recently in gatlinburg. Had a terrible time, I felt that the place was a cesspool of consumerism and a bastion of the worst aspects of southern culture. Turns out a wildfire just burned most of the town to the ground,” Coleman Bonner said in a post late last month.
“Good riddance gatlinburg. And good luck, you mouth-breathing, toothless, diabetic, cousin-humpin, mountain-drew chuggin, moon-pie-munchin, pall-mall smokin, trump-suckin pond scum.”
Bonner, who was listed as posting from Wessington, Ala., ended his litany of insults by saying “(chuckles, and smiles like the smarmy liberal elitist I am.)”
The post has been deleted, according to AL.com. But screengrabs of the mini-rant were widely circulated on social media by those pointing out that at least 14 people are confirmed to have died in the fires that hit Gatlinburg.
Fourteen people have been confirmed dead after the weeks-long wildfires. (BILL MAY / ARROWMONT SCHOOL OF ARTS AND CRAFTS / HANDOUT/EPA) Officials say that more than 1,750 structures were damaged or destroyed by the blazes that have decimated the Great Smoky Mountains tourist region.
The southerner’s employer, Express Oil Change, posted on Facebook Friday that he was no longer employed at the company.
“We are absolutely disgusted at what was posted, and want to emphasize that a person of this character does not represent who we are as a company,” it said, expressing sympathy to those who have been affected by the fire.
A Express Oil Change spokesman told the Daily News Tuesday that Bonner had identified himself as an employee online and violated the company's social media policy.
Attempts to reach Bonner Tuesday afternoon were unsuccessful.
Officials in Gatlinburg have announced that residents will be allowed to return Wednesday and that the city plans to reopen to tourists on Friday.
Recent rain has aided firefighters trying to contain two blazes that have been burning since Nov. 23, and the National Wildfire Coordinating Group said Tuesday morning that the fires had not gained any territory overnight.
At least 10 dead in 'human-caused' Tennessee wildfires It is not known what caused the fires, though Great Smoky Mountains National Park Superintendent Cassius Cash said they were “likely to be human-caused.”
Agree.
And agree.
Great post.
I wouldn’t fire someone just for being less conservative than I am, but if I had an employee who was that obnoxious and offensive I would fire them because I wouldn’t want to have a sociopath working at my company.
Don’t know the date of this idiots rant, but death count is 14, 2 teens have been arrested for setting the fire.
Those who did not lose homes or businesses lost jobs, medical health ins and more. The Mayor lost both his business and home. My sis, BIL who has near late stage MD, on the wrong side of 50 and niece lost their jobs when West Gate Resort burned. Who is going to hire a man on the wrong side of 50 with MD? All 3 are hard reliable workers. Niece won’t have as hard a time finding a min wage job, but sis and BIL will. None of them have more than a HS education. We were all to poor for anything more.
3 of the dead were from Memphis, a man, wife, teen son who died at Vandy Burn Unit, 2 other teen sons were at last known info still in Vandy Burn Unit. In Nashville.
Or Kiss My Grits?
Actually, she's not what you'd expect. At least appearance-wise, she appears to be capable of attracting someone better than this loser.
Maybe she'll figure that out, now that the Quickie-Lube money has dried up.
A few more months, & he can tie his hair under those chins & try to disguise them.
I wouldn’t hire this guy to shovel manure in a dairy loafing pen.
He’s going to have a lot worse worries than being sacked. There’s a reward on the deepnet - a substantial one at that - for his personal information by someone who lost a sister in the wildfire. Fatboy might wanna invest in either a cross-country move or a bodyguard.
And to boot the wedding is May 8, 2017 in Gulf Shores, ALABAMA!
a double chin at his age.....very telling....
I’m not finding what was funny about his story...
That’s a selfie. Dipshit took that picture ON PURPOSE.
