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.”
In a world of participation trophies, she's getting the husband.
A bit of resemblance there, it appears. Same ethnic stock?
LOL!
I’m in the presence of greatness.
Well, he can play with himself full time now.

That looks like it smoked the pot, then ate everything but the kettle!
“endomorph,”
A nice way to say “FAT BASTARD”! ;)
He’s from ALABAMA of all places! The neighbors must LOVE this guy! /s;)
Why am I not surprised that the guy’s a tubby loser who was working in a quick lube?
Well, I guess it’s sort of surprising that he has a job at all, too.
A Southern Man don’t need him around, anyhow.

The epitomy of a democrap!

Sometimes. Sometimes not. Depends on context and tone of voice. It can mean "oh you poor thing" in a sincere manner. It can mean the same in a condescending manner, too. Nothing's more biting than getting your heart blessed by a master, usually an older southern woman, when you've messed up, lol.

Spitting image!

Sure looks it.
That attempt to grow a beard doesn’t fool me...I’d know Rosie O’Donnell anywhere.
UGLEY ASS BROTHER F#CKER ISN’T HE.
He looks like a self-loathing, mouth-breathing, toothless, diabetic, cousin-humpin, mountain-drew chuggin, moon-pie-munchin, pall-mall smokin, clinton-suckin piece of pond scum.
Your are absolutely right, any REDNECK would pull him out of the fire; THEN BEAT HIS FAT, UGLY ASS.
