There’s 2 possible explanations here: he’s got deep-seated mental issues that lead to him interrupting the graduation ceremony of hundreds of students by aggressively pursuing a person who “rolled his eyes” at his daughter, or, and more likely in my opinion, he’s a blatant racist making excuses for his racist behavior in his town where half the boys of a graduating class took a picture in front of the school doing a Nazi salute.
Either way, the man needs therapy
Or a third.
Matthew Eddy told the Baraboo Police Department he had past issues with School District Superintendent Rainey Briggs. Because of the beef, Eddy said he didn’t want Rainey to have the “satisfaction” of shaking his daughter’s hand as she obtained her diploma.
he had past issues with School District Superintendent Rainey Briggs
"Past issues" such as Briggs having the wrong skin colour?
Correct, the “beef” they are referring to is “rolling his eyes” I’m talking about
That’s his problem? Disrespectful eye rolling?
Where’s the beef?
Evidently during a board meeting they were discussing the bullying of his daughter, and the superintendent “rolled his eyes” to something he said.
That’s it. That’s the supposed “beef” the guy had. Like it’s not even a good excuse.
🙄
Mfer... you will not have the satisfaction of again my daughter's hand at her graduation.
I agree with the therapy but see 2 even worse explanations:
He has such poor forecasting skills he didn't envision his daughter interacting with the Superintendent at graduation and such little impulse control he couldn't stop himself.
He absolutely foresaw his daughter interacting with the Superintendent and chose the moment on state for the largest audience of his bigotry.
Both are horrible.
