Some people overreact
Morgane Oger on Facebook on the vandalism at Vancouver Rape Relief yesterday:
When Vancouver Rape Relief’s discriminatory conduct hits the light of day some people overreact. It’s deplorable when this overreaction goes so far as to threaten, or to provide implied threats, of violence.
We are not a society that tolerates violence against people because of what they believe, or even because of what they do.
Subtle. “VRR are terrible people, but it’s deplorable to imply threats of violence. They are terrible though. That’s the important point here.
This sounds like one of those CYA statements. ‘I don’t actually condone this, but, hey, I can understand because, really, I would so do the same thing. But of course I don’t actually condone it.’
So, I’m sure any minute now Oger will be taking Mackinnon to task for wishing someone dies horribly by brain cancer…
Hey, nice looking little rape shelter you got here, would be a shame if something happened to it (from Bugsy Oger and His Gang)
I’m sure Oger will also be this circumspect in drawing a link between current conservative rhetoric and white supremacist violence…
Okay, I know I am wearing my old glasses this morning because my current ones broke, but I looked at this and swore it said “circumcised”.
