The Nazi Legacy: Dead Jews and "No Smoking" Signs
Over in LJ Land there's this fun little community by the name of [info]damnportlanders. It's an awesome comm for the most part, but does have its share of, shall we say, disproportionately passionate folks. Exhibit A: [info]bennetfox.

Yesterday he posted a rant entitled To the Anti-Smoking Gestapo. From zero to Godwin's in 1.3 seconds? This can only get better.

The crux of his complaint is the smoking ban placed on Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland, Oregon. Bear in mind that this ordinance went into effect on 1 January 2007, so I'm not sure why his frothing rage had to marinate for 5 months first, but okay.

[info]bennetfox is incensed with this inconvenience to his personal liberties, and lashes out at everyone who supported this ban. All of whom are planet-killing SUV owners who deserve a painful and messy death.

And as I watched this unfold yesterday, I was just going to let it be stupid all on its own. But [info]bennetfox returned today, enthusiastically pointing the Gestapo to other major cities that they can "ruin" next.

But really it's all okay cuz he's just doing it for the lulz.

Keep Portland Wanky!

Any other Angelinos here? Cause smoking in enclosed public places has been banned for years and years in Los Angeles, as long as I can remember (I'm only 19... so possibly I can't remember all that far back. heh.) So I kind of laugh when I see people getting all up in arms over smoking bans. Also, it was really weird going back east and having to ask to be seated in the non-smoking section.

I think they started non-smoking bans here in the mid/late 90s in different areas of the state. I actually remember when they had a smoking area inside places like Carl's Jr.

Los Angeles represent.

"So I kind of laugh when I see people getting all up in arms over smoking bans. "

It is cute.

I bet some prime wank happened back when they took it away from LA, though.
