My church put on their usual Halloween Carnival last night. I was amazed! Even in a blue state, barely anyone was masked. Indoors! One marr on the evening: I was serving at a station and one of the organizers did ask me to put a mask on partway through the evening. I was a little surprised, said no thanks. She said she'd get me a mask - I said I was not comfortable wearing a mask but that perhaps she could find someone else to work my station. She laid off. Interestingly, I think it was just HER, being Karen-ish, not the overall policy because most of the other workers were also unmasked.

Sorry to ramble: take-home is that it was a GREAT night! The community gathered and most seemed entirely fear-free.

Okay, I realize I am a *little* strident in my disdain for the COVID dumpster fire paranoia. (Trust me, my disdain is well-documented!) However, even at that, I remain baffled about the "stickiness" of masking. They do not do anything beneficial. And when I say that, I mean actually, measurably, NOTHING positive. They are a symbol, at best, in operating rooms. The science for their widespread use against a respiratory virus is on the order of justification for not listing the number "13" on an elevator keypad. Why the flying hells bells are people still so tied to them? I seriously do not get it. Even as an engineer, and admitting that it took me longer than it should have--probably weeks, in fact--to reach this conclusion, how are people still clueless after this long?

He could have done nothing, but instead he decided to be an asshole!!

Hope he posts a photo of his garage door...

I was discussing this elsewhere (in two other places simultaneously, in fact!) this morning and there was a LOT of confusion as to whether this was parody, or someone doing an "old man yells at cloud" joke, but...

No, I did an unpleasantly thorough review of his published and social content, and this is real. Someone is actually like this.

And a reasonably intelligent mammal had a hard time figuring out whether he was a literal joke.

Imagine being this person.

I grew up in a small town, where the police report was posted to the local newspaper every week. It was hilarious, and the primary reason why we read that paper. Occasionally you would get a gem like "Dead squirrel reported in the street. Officer responded, confirmed report."

We would have LIVED for a report like this. "Reported egging of house. Officers told individual to get a life."

If "Carl" is a real person, he likely also wears an "I'm Vegan and Vaccinated" pin signaling how much fun he is to hang out with.

Yes it’s a parody account. Has to be.

In the UK I am just starting to see more ridicule and sarcastic humour directed at the political class/ WEF puppets which is encouraging. The absurdity of the Covid hysteria is best countered by “taking the pi*s “ to use a British expression. Our ultra pompous great and good get a bit peeved by that

This is evident with the Netzero cult also. More parody please. I need a laugh!

Usually I don't support "egging"... but in this case.... if you are going to be a scourge and try and ruin a kids halloween.. I mean isn't the phrase, "TRICK or treat?"

He’s lucky that’s all that he got. Just don’t participate - being an asshole gets you treated like an asshole.

Hilarious! I sent him a few still shots of kids having fun last night and of a great Halloween decoration! I sure he is twitching right now.

I usually subscribe to the "don't stoop to their level" approach to confrontation. I strive to be the bigger person (or feline.) But I'm having a hard time with this one, Gato. A really hard time.

I'm surprised there wasn't a "mostly peaceful" lamppost decorating party and whole-house bonfire to celebrate

dont worry the narrative is swiftly switching to climate change. just ask prince charles. soon the notes will be put on cars and meat packaging. and you will be vilified for that too. at this point we have a two tier society and we just have to try to keep our cortisol in check bc being around soul voids is very disheartening.

People like this are demons. Plain and simple. I would hate to have to interact with them on a regular basis. Thankfully, I'm self employed and can afford to choose.

If any eggs or ketchup actually happened, I'd first look to Jussie Smollet's trainers as persons of interest. Also, isn't it spelled "catsup"?

And what happened then? Well in Florida they say that the communist's ego shrunk three sizes that day.

...just kidding of course, humility is not something this guy likely experiences often.

This report from THE EXPOSE is absolutely incredible:

EXCLUSIVE – 100% of Covid-19 Vaccine Deaths were caused by just 5% of the batches produced according to official Government data

A true self own machine. Honestly one hopes Darwin kicks in with these types.

This must be parody.

He really deserved the egging.

Hey man, Halloween hates you too

Kids were out in our neighborhoods without incident. The basic rule - if you don’t want to participate keep your outside lights off.

This guy purposefully invited kids to his door just to troll them. He got what he deserved. Maybe there’s hope for America after all.

We welcome the little heathens! The more the merrier. I don't remember so many "Happy Halloween" replies, but it warms my heart to give out candy and smiles. P.S. if it was heinz ketchup he can console himself that it really is the best, irregardless of Theresa.

"stuck up stickybeak maladies"--love the words! real or not, sadly, there are Carls out there. thanks for the laugh, gato ;>)

This didn't really happen, and if it did, whoever egged his house has renewed my faith in the American spirit.

If it bothers him, he can always just turn the porch light off. No porch light, no kids, no germs. Voila!

This is hilarious!! OMG. Hahahahaa!

Why is it always the fatties (look at that fat hand!) who are the most extreme about this? Clearly they do not care about their health otherwise.

Lol....I do believe this is a satire account.

All he had to do was turn his front porch light off if he didn't want to support trick or treating. But no, he wanted his opinion known. To kids. Whatever.

By the way if this is true- if anything deserves an “OK Boomer”, it’s this!

His masks spread Covid. Science.

Well, maybe his house was egged. You'd think he'd have at least posted a picture if that were the case. The ketchup thing is next-level creative, and one shouldn't underestimate the motivation needed (as well as awareness of politics -- just because Twitter knows doesn't mean anyone in the Real World knows all this stuff) to do a stunt like that. So - maybe. Maybe not.

Egged his house, so happy to hear this. Bah humbug!

This is an odd account. I'm pretty sure this was a straight troll rather than really parody. But it was basically a trap post.

I'm not crazy about the sugar-centric aspect of Halloween. I tried providing what I considered healthier treats and the next morning found them scattered all over the street outside my house. So these days I close all the blinds, turn off the lights, and go to bed early with a book. That's better than antagonizing people and then bitching about eggs.

So have any of you seen the story out of Shanghai Disneyland? Mr. Carl will now feel vindicated
