Man Who Called Tennessee Wildfire Victims 'Trump-Suckin Pond Scum' Fired
New York Daily News ^ | 12/9 | Christopher Brennan

Posted on 12/09/2016 5:48:21 PM PST by nickcarraway

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.”

“Funny story.”


Yeah, a funny story with an even funnier ending.

Does this pig have a social media account where he can be taunted?

Depends on tone and context

It can also be used endearingly rather than saracastically

Interchangeable pretty much with

“God love em”

But if you insult a Deep South southern woman and she replies “we’ll bless yer heart dear” then yep it’s about like what you said

That How Southern Girls talk YouTube is pretty accurate but it’s Carolinacentric which is diff from Alassippi or Texas

An unhealthy, barely male endomorph, who works at a jiffy lube, has more chins than a Peking phonebook, has the gall to attack anyone?

THAT is brilliant!

You know how we always notice that the conservative women are more attractive that the libs? Maybe it applies to both genders. I’m 62 and never was mUch to write home about and I’m still more of a chick magnet than this guy.

Depends on the context. Many people don’t understand that. I have never used it in a bad way.......and never knew that existed, quite frankly, as a Southerner. In this modern-day usage:

“Bless your heart.” = A truly heart-felt sympathy for a person’s misfortune .(the TRUE meaning)

“Bless your heart.” = “Dear lawd, you are sooooo stupid.”

“Bless your heart.” = “Eff you.”

And growing up........I never knew or used it except in the first example. Don’t know how it changed, quite frankly.

I wouldn’t call that fat smelly loser “elitist”. Nothing elite about him. Even his attitude is nothing but childish.
