Welcome to Mississippi, friends. What the hell you doin’ here?
Army National Guard Sergeant Franklin Richardson and his wife, Jessica, took their dog to Oktibbeha County Lake in Mississippi to enjoy a picnic by the water. As soon as they arrived, a woman in a Kampgrounds of America shirt pulled a gun on them, said she was the manager, told the couple they didn’t belong, and that they didn’t have a reservation. Then she said “Get! Get!” as if shooing away animals.
Sergeant Richardson and his wife are African American.
They suspect there may have been some racism involved. Ya think?
Thanks to Rick for the heads up.
“The employee involved in the incident has been relieved of her duties at the Starkville KOA.”
Hmmm…. They didn’t say has been relieved of her duties at KOA. Keeping her job and getting reassigned? That didn’t work too well for the Catholic Church.
1I will say that my (white) Mississippi FB friends find this woman’s actions offensive as well. But it’s also true that enough Mississippians DON’T object to her racism that there won’t be any society-wide denunciation of her there.
2Won’t threatening someone with a gun get you arrested in most places?
3Papa, there’s always the “I was in mortal fear for my life” excuse card to play, and that’s enough in Mississippi.
4One more reason we, in New Mexico say thank goodness for Mississippi .
5‘Very fine people’, ‘only the best’… a new RWNJ-teabagger-trumpanzee heroine is created.
6Why are these exemplars of Anglo superiority always so effen obviously genetically sub-standard? Tell me that that pistol-packin’ cretiness has never spawned… looking/thinking of that, ugg, pass the brain-bleach.
Rename the company KKKampgrounds of America and it’ll fit right in.
7Two questions:
1. Did they have a reservation?
2. Is it normal inn keeping practice to pull a gun on people who don’t have a reservation?
I think I have been turned away from a hotel front desk a number of times but I can’t remember anything like that happening.
8Stuff like that USED to be illegal before the Twitterman.
9Hope this message gets to the couple and their dog who experienced such insane behavior. Mh vacations have always and I mean always been wonderful. But, then hey, I vacation in Canada.
10Soooo difficult to have been born in this state these days. Yes, it’s called assault with a deadly weapon. Unfortunately, I rather doubt Oktibbeha county will do their job. Born and raised 65 miles from there.
