Instead of helping fix their barn, Goyette-Wiggins says the Save the Children Convoy left her family with thousands of dollars in unpaid bills.

“Hydro outstanding is over $3,000, not to mention damages, broken equipment, the clean-up, broken fruit trees and so much more,” Goyette-Wiggins told PressProgress.

She embraced these fetic sacks of gangrenous anal sphincters and got exactly what she deserved.

Zero sympathy. Absolutely zero.

Holy anal thesaurus, Roget!

If you're going to be colourful you might as well be fuck you colourful.

Wow it took the whole article to mention that they dumped their septic tanks out into the yard? I would’ve led with that.

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 15 points 10 months ago

Right? Why wasn't that the headline?

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 14 points 10 months ago

That was their #2 choice.

How many children did they save though?

[-] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

I know I don't have to say this in present company, but with these kinds of people, it's always projection. Like it can't not be projection. I actually just learned there is a term for it: reaction formation.

Put another way, we can be pretty sure these people are dangerous for children. Very dangerous.

Any of those peoples kids with any common sense have been saved by getting far away from all of those people.

A negative number.

Is there a GoFundMe?

[-] blindsight@beehaw.org 42 points 10 months ago

I'm having a hard time having sympathy for someone who was supporting anti-trans bigots, who were accusing teachers of being pedophiles, and (I suppose) attempting a coup. (Hard to take the last one seriously.)

Like... Of course this ended poorly. I'm surprised they paid any of the hydro bill from their camp, tbh.

It's Press Progress. This is less a "poor farmer" article, and more a seat at a wrestling match where everyone hates both guys.

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months ago

I'd hope that the farmer learned a lesson but I doubt it's the right one.

And yet Media Bias gives Press Progress a High mark for factual reporting.

I do agree on how poorly the article is written tho. But when it can't be based on facts (like police reports or other sources) it would always just be a he said/she said.

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

I feel like you've misread me in every way possible.

[-] kbal@fedia.io 39 points 10 months ago

If they annoyed everyone in the area, became a public nuisance for a year, and left behind a big mess, well that is a small price to pay for the nation's children finally being saved.

[-] hoot@lemmy.ca 27 points 10 months ago

Breaking news: shitty people did shitty things.

[-] ZagamTheVile@lemmy.world 26 points 10 months ago

All the quotes make these chucklefucks sound like 4th graders. "And the he did this and then he said this and then he said that and then I seen him do that and then he done this.. "

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 22 points 10 months ago

Children saved: 0

[-] buttfarts@lemy.lol 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I really like that site because it doesn't have a bunch of obstructive pop-ups, ads and auto playing videos.

Literally just a text article with minimal intrusion. Very rare these days
