15. From Raylan...some thoughtful thinking

“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.”
― Raylan Givens Justified

These kids ran into some assholes.
And you know what, we've had assholes at competitions since Grok beat out Thag for Uma and took her to his cave.

It's what we are.

Let's not give this any more than it's due. Let's not raise this to new heights. It's bad manners and those people were assholes.

They're just trying to find a way to make the "snowflake lib-tards" upset.

The real story is this-- "Cool, smart, terrific kids laugh at stupid assholes because the cool kids get to go to the next stage of the competition."

There's no reason to make this a big deal. Assholes are assholes.

I they were my children acting like that, they'd know immediately they are held to a shraby Mar 2017 #1
