Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, promoter of Project 2025, and generally evil dude, murdered a neighbor’s dog. Just flat out killed it with a shovel.
Speaking to the Guardian, then-chair of the history department Kenneth Hammond, along with other witnesses, described the story as unsettling but noted that they did not press Roberts for further details at the time.
Hammond told the newspaper: “He was discussing in the hallway with various members of the faculty, including me, that a neighbor’s dog had been barking pretty relentlessly and was, you know, keeping the baby and probably the parents awake and that he kind of lost it and took a shovel and killed the dog. End of problem.”
Marsha Weisiger, another professor at the university, recalled Roberts sharing the story at a dinner: “My husband and I were stunned. First of all, that he would do such a thing. And second of all, that he would tell us about it.”
She added that Roberts also mentioned considering killing the dog’s puppies.
He wanted to kill the puppies?
OK, now the story about Haitian immigrants makes a little more sense. It didn’t happen, it’s just projection and fantasies of a gang of animal-hating monsters.
what? WHAT! Just made me physically sick. WHAT? Holy FUCK.
CHARGE HIM
The dog in question, a pit bull named Loca, belonged to Daniel Aran, who the newspaper confirmed was Roberts’ neighbor at the time. Aran kept three dogs and confirmed that the animal went missing in 2004.
“She was my favorite,” Aran said, remembering that she was the only female he owned and adding that, despite searching for her including at the local pound, she was never found.
I swear to non-existent god, if I see a jackass MAGAt in a hat saying “Make Pets Safe Again”, I’m gonna say some shit.
It looks like Kevin Roberts is trying to outdo the governor of South Dakota. Kristi Noem just used a gun and shot her dog.
It’s much more manly to use a shovel. I guess.
I’d be more impressed if Kevin Roberts used a knife or his bare hands and teeth though.
It’s been said many times that you can tell how people will treat their children and other people by…how they treat animals, especially pets.
There is an overwhelming amount of data from multiple sources, that people like Kristi Noem and Kevin Roberts are generic garden variety…monsters.
There is a lot of data on this point.
In a neighborhood in Springfield, Oregon, decades ago, people started finding dead cats that had been doused with gasoline and set on fire.
Shortly after that, a kid shot up the local school, killing 4 and wounding 25.
Coincidence? Possible but not likely.
They’ll do it to pets and other animals, they’ll do it to humans they believe are animals. Their wet dream about rounding up brown people, legally here or not, and putting them into camps that will turn into death camps. These are seriously demented and sick people.
It just amazes me that someone can be so cold, no matter how many times I’ve seen it.
So right-wing projection? It is Tuesday. Another day of the week.
If he couldn’t be bothered to talk to his neighbors expressing his displeasure with the barking, he could have called animal control and they could have issued warnings and/or fines for incessant barking. Or, he could have gotten one of those dog silencers that emit hypersonic sound that humans can’t hear but dogs can. Instead, he chose to violently murder the dog, dispose of the body, then brag about it as if it was something to be proud of. Fucking republicans.
This is the same creep who said “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
One of the rules of hunting is that you should eat what you kill. Maybe that’s why Aran didn’t find her?
