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!

I think that did happen, but not on purpose. It was just one of those stunned "..." silences where, in retrospect, you really wanted to have a good comeback but were just too suprised by the stupid. In her defense, she was in her eighties, living alone, with something seriously wrong in the brain.

I had one of those on my block. I walked my dog on her parkway (which, by the way, is owned by the city) and she decided to come out in a housecoat and tell me that letting my dog touch her lawn is illegal. I think I went "uh..." and contemplated training my dog to defecate on command just to piss her off.
