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.”
.....oh his phone worked for about two hours,till it went dead.....and he knew it...it was probabily stuffed up his ass after Bubba found him and started calling him over and over
OMG... by his appearance he just described himself.
Pathetic. And if he’s not diabetic, I’ll eat my moon pie.
what an ugly POS (inside and out)...smarmy liberal elitist indeed
A Michael Moore wannabe?
I find a Wessington, South Dakota, but not one in Alabama.
Hey...don't be insulting pigs. They are smart, funny and cute. The small ones make good pets. All qualities that human thumb-sucking liberal jerk sorely lacks.
Wait a minute, nothing wrong with a guy working at jiffylube. This guy is a pathetic loser. I can see why his boss would not want him working there.
That’s really insulting to the term “smarmy.” He’s much below that level.
Did he use to twist the cat’s tail to hear it yowl?
Might need to find himself knocked on his rear, metaphorically if not otherwise, to understand that no, God did not put the world here as a place to be mean in.
Some of those hicks might actually pull him OUT of a wildfire, just because God wants them to bless their enemies.
Typical, fire-breathing, potty-mouthed, brainless liberal.
But, as the liberal that he is, he’s not smart enough to understand why he was fired.
“Bless your heart” has more than one meaning. It also is a phrase of identification with or sorrow for a person. My late grandmother often used it. She never used profanity, let alone told anyone to have sex with themselves.
I’ve been to shops where apparently a mechanic got his jollies from messing up things in my or my buddy’s car.
Liberal elitist loser gets fired from Jiffy Lube after directing real hate speech at real victims.
That’s rich.
Best. Election. Ever.
Thanks Nick. Now we know what Alabama $hit looks like! Some of the good folks in Alabama need to go “learn this guy some manners!”
The funniest part of the dude’s silly post is that he considers himself elitist. He looks like his mom buys way too many twinkles to satiate pot induced munchies.
“An unhealthy, barely male endomorph, who works at a jiffy lube, has more chins than a Peking phonebook, has the gall to attack anyone?”
The Pot just met the Kettle!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
