\nRe: Your Poor, Put-Upon Friends<\/p>\n
Mr. Kahn, <\/p>\n
You admit to being friends of the people who, last weekend, decided of their own idiot free will to throw water balloons and super soakers have a pedal pub in downtown Minneapolis.<\/p>\n
And then do it again.<\/p>\n
Because they just don’t like pedal pubs<\/em>. <\/p>\n And now they’re trying to set themselves up as Rodney King because they were stupid enough to squirt a pedal pub full of off-duty cops, who proceeded to take them down<\/em>. <\/p>\n You said they – your friends – are “loveable goofballs”. <\/p>\n No. They’re self-absorbed narcissists. <\/p>\n And if it hadn’t been their idiot luck to spray off-duty cops, but just a bunch of ironworkers or bouncers or big guys, they wouldn’t be able to wrap the just consequences of their stupidity in this year’s white-liberal-guilt-fest. <\/p>\n And…they were angry at pedal pubs? Talk about white privilege. <\/p>\n That is all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To: Bobby Kahn, bike absolutist From: Mitch Berg, biker with common sense Re: Your Poor, Put-Upon Friends Mr. Kahn, You admit to being friends of the people who, last weekend, decided of their own idiot free will to throw water balloons and super soakers have a pedal pub in downtown Minneapolis.
