Asshole Fuckface Roundup #74

Tags: Assholes

Now that you’ve crammed a shocking amount of turkey into your talky hole and visited with your delightful family, it’s time to get back to reality. Of course, I am referring to the Asshole Fuckface Roundup. You should know that because it’s the title of this article. The first Roundup was created to destroy the sweet afterglow of holiday cheer and it has continued to this day, 1796 years later. "Why?," you ask. But I don’t answer. Just accept it and shut your face. We shouldn’t question such things. This week’s collection of Asshole Fuckfaces is, as usual, heinous. So, put on your best velvet shower curtain because this is going to be ugly.

First up, some amazing corporate Asshole Fuckfacery.

Taneka Talley went to work at the Dollar Tree in Fairfield, California on March 29, 2006. That was apparently a huge mistake, because Asshole Fuckface extraordinaire Tommy Thompson had decided to kill the first black person he saw that day. It turned out to be Taneka. She was stabbed in the heart while working at the store and died. Now, Talley’s son is being raised by his grandmother and the Dollar Tree is trying to make it into the Asshole Fuckface hall of fame.

Talley's mother is fighting to get her daughter's workers compensation death benefits, which, according to the family's lawyer, have been denied because the killer's targeting her as a black person established a "personal connection" that the company says releases them from having to pay.



A personal relationship? Maybe he knew her from outside of work? Nope. Maybe they had a relationship online? Nope. Maybe they met at her job Nope. The personal relationship was actually not very intimate.

According to Stagliano, the benefits were denied on the basis that the suspect in Talley's slaying, 45-year-old Tommy Thompson, allegedly made the relationship with Talley personal by choosing to attack her specifically based on the color of her skin.



So, it was one of those "never met her in my life" personal relationships. Hopefully no one gets raped while working at the Dollar Tree, because that would mean they were attacked for having a vagina. The Asshole Fuckfaces at the Dollar Tree who made this decision are some of the most disgusting people on the face of the Earth. Hopefully they suffer horribly.

Next up, a little U.S. Asshole Fuckface stupidity.

Sikhism is the fifth largest religion in the world. It is based on the teachings of a dude named Nanak who was kicking around India in the fifteenth century. Many Sikhs wear turbans, which are an article of faith that represents honor, self-respect, courage, spirituality, and piety. Many also have kick-ass long beards, which means they look like the cartoon version of an Arab to ignorant Americans. Morons targeted many Sikhs after 9/11 in the U.S..

A couple of weeks ago, three popular Sikh musicians got on a US Airways flight in Sacramento, headed for Salt Lake City. That’s when the trouble started.

After having been on the plane for approximately ten minutes, they were approached by one of the ticket-reception desk workers and asked to exit the plane.

While none of the three could adequately comprehend or speak English, the group complied and exited the aircraft, the United Sikhs said.



Well, that was decent of them. Surely there must be a reasonable explanation.

The interpreter informed Iqbal Singh, on behalf of the US Airways representatives, that the pilot was refusing to fly if they were onboard the aircraft, it added.



Oh, good. Well, the pilot saved all the other passengers from another U..S Sikh attack. Dear Asshole Fuckface pilot, try reading a book. They really are fun and knowing stuff doesn’t hurt.

Next up, some delightful Australian teenage Asshole Fuckfacery.

Five Australian teenagers were having a rough night. They were driving around in a Subaru, which had been impounded a couple of weeks ago for “hooning offenses.” (Hooning basically means driving like an asshole). As they rounded a corner, they collided with a van. The elderly couple in the van were severely injured.

"When I looked over the fence, I saw the car on its side and the male occupant was outside the passenger window with his head on the tar."

"The man was in a very bad way," said Mr. Atzori.

When he reached the car he said the man was unconscious and the woman was 'wailing'.



Now what to do? You’ve just been involved in a terrible accident and the passengers in the other car appear to be in very bad shape. Well, you don’t do anything.

While residents comforted the distressed woman, the five teenage occupants of the Subaru stood motionless on the footpath.

Both Mr Atzori and Mr Waymouth said not one of the youths attempted to help.



True, but it is hard to help on an empty stomach.

"They just stood there and then they sat down and then someone dropped Maccas off to them," he said.



Maccas is McDonalds in Australia. They were in a car that had been impounded for hooning, then just happened to get in an accident in an area known for hooning, then they sat down and ate a meal while a couple in the other car hung on to life. That is some amazing Asshole Fuckfacery.

Oh, and the old man died.

Next up, Black Friday shopper Asshole Fuckfacery.

Obviously, I know how hard it is to stand outside of a Wal-Mart before the doors are open. We’ve all been there. Standing outside, salivating as we think of all the cheap, toxic-filled, Chinese products lining the shelves. The day after Thanksgiving was no different.

Nassau police said about 2,000 people were gathered outside the store doors at the mall about 20 miles east of Manhattan.



Thirty-four year old Jdimytai Damour of Queens was on the other side of the door. He was a temp worker hired by Wal-Mart (I guess to avoid paying the health insurance they don’t pay) to do maintenance work. I didn't work out so well when he opened the door.

The impatient crowd knocked the man to the ground as he opened the doors, leaving a metal portion of the frame crumpled like an accordion.

"He was bum-rushed by 200 people," said Jimmy Overby, 43, a co-worker. "They took the doors off the hinges….They took me down too...I literally had to fight people off my back."



If you are stampeding to get into Wal-Mart any day of the year, just kill yourself. You have reached a depth of sadness I can’t comprehend.

Dozens of store employees trying to fight their way out to help Damour were also getting trampled by the crowd, Fleming said.

Damour, 34, was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead about 6 a.m., police said.



That’s about as horrible as it gets. Being a human being, I would have felt terrible that I had been a part of such a tragedy. Right?

Kimberly Cribbs, who witnessed the stampede, said shoppers were acting like "savages."

"When they were saying they had to leave, that an employee got killed, people were yelling 'I've been on line since yesterday morning,'" she said. "They kept shopping."



First, I don't know what's worse - that you killed someone trying to get into a Wal-Mart or that you were lined up all of Thanksgiving Day outside of a Wal-Mart. Second, did anybody order McDonalds? I hear that’s what you’re supposed to do around dead people now.

That Wal-Mart incident...maybe I'm an asshole too for thinking this, but if they reacted that way when they told them to leave because they killed a man they all deserved to be locked in that place and gassed. I'm disgusted by all this

And Filipino terrorists.
And Irish terrorists.
And Japanese terrorists
And Colombian terrorists.

The pilot was a fucking moron and automatically assumed that the Sikh passengers were Muslims of some sort .

I smell litigation.

I imagine there must be some more definitive indication of the hastening decline of the human race than 200 people trampling a fellow species member to death in order to be the first to purchase things they don't need with money they don't have, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it would be.

The happy cheer of the holidays happened at a Walmart here also. A lady and guy were eyeing the same parking spot, with the woman there first. The guy waits for her to get out of her car and as she is walking to the Walmart, he runs her over. She's living the last I heard but probably will use the internet next year.

The Times article about the LI Walmart also reported a girl fighting some guy over a TV in another Walmart in Ohio.

Apparently there was another incident at a Toys R Us in California. Two men shot each other in the toy store.


Witnesses said the men were each with women in the store who got into a fight that escalated into the fatal shootings, which sent terrified shoppers and their children scrambling for safety.



It's not sure why it happened yet, but I have to imagine the chaos in the store didn't help any.
