THE SHEEP

Ever see something, and think. Enough is enough? FB can be a great thing... and the opposite... … a perfect example of stupidity.    I’ve been in groups and forums the last several years and seen crap that makes my head hurt. One person says something, anything and hundreds jump on the bandwagon blindly, making themselves look like idiots in the long run.

Fact. I’ve attended a fund raising event for the last five years up in Minnesota.  On the back-end, it supports a charity.  This charity has ties with a Motorcycle Dealership.  There are Facebook groups and other forums and pages that tie back to it all.   Now, the interesting part. If someone in those groups or pages, from the charity/dealership make comments or accusations, or claims… dozens... sometimes. Hundreds (?) of folks … assume the author of the post or the comment is 100% correct.    How dare someone question the dealership... the event... the charity!!!    But, what if ……..  Everything said was not 100% correct???  But, in today’s world, we have the SHEEP.  They believe whatever is posted, jump into the mix, MF ‘the bad people who dare to question the poster.  Its borderline unf***believable.  Who are these idiots?

Over five years ago, I began attending an event up North for various reasons.  Over those five years I contributed thousands of dollars to the charity. More than 95% of all others.  Period.  Additionally, I spent over $80,000.00 with the dealer up there, associated with the charity. Not chump change. I contributed hours and hours of mind share to help them take it to the next level.  However after half a decade, I lost the faith.  Threw in the towel.  I’d spent years listening to many questioning why I tried, why all my efforts?  I ignored their pleas.   But finally I came around.   However, in the meantime, I’d given a loan of $50,000.00, and then they had the audacity to ask for more. I’ve been asked to invest in properties overseas, upwards of $1M.  Been asked to purchase a property to flip short term, with “zero risk” for over $500k.  Been asked to provide loan guarantees (“a third signature for a $2M deal that had zero risk”).  Let’s be honest.  The shit made my head hurt.  And, I’m not necessarily the guy that can actually do all this, even if I wanted to.  But, didn’t stop the questions/requests! 

But, I couldn’t do it anymore.  I saw things over those five years that were wrong.  Things that I ignored, but no longer could.    So, I drew the line.   But now, the party that asked all the above says I don’t have loyalty.   I don’t have Integrity.  That I’m somehow in coercion to undermine the charity I contributed thousands to, which is more that 95% of those attending over the next several years, will ever contribute themselves.   Who believes this?  The SHEEP.  The folks that believe anything and everything this is posted on FB or other Social Media avenues.  It’s sadly funny.  All the wannabe thug boys and other morons that chime in on what they are going to ….. to... I don’t know….  something... because they are badass....and the ….   poster... … is…somehow been …’wronged’... Yet, most have never met the poster. Most will never attend the event.  They are simply………… SHEEP.   But, they BELIEVE anything and everything posted.  Embarrassing.  What a f***cking joke. Deep down, I can’t help but laugh.  They , are the “Keyboard Warriors”.

Now, this all being said. I wish the charity I speak of well. I hope they get their shit together.  I hope they finally get it legally together and post a “990” as they were supposed to the last several years.  I hope everyone’s charitable contributions were utilized………………correctly.  But the SHEEP will always line up.  That’s what they do.  That’s what they are.  Sad.

What prompted this post?  This poster, said that I and another were somehow in cahoots to undermine their charity in mid-August.  Me and him, two guys.  Wow.  Didn’t realize I had that much power.  I’ve always questioned the outrageous costs associated with the event, which have increased year over year.  They are honestly, the highest costs I’ve ever seen associated with a rally.  Sadly, there is no oversight of where the funds go. Period.  Bikes are given away, but the costs have to be accounted for.  High Paid celebrities show up that receive pay.  A film is created at a large cost.  When the smoke clears, how much of the overall contributions go to the …. “Kids?”    Twenty percent?  Less?  I don’t know …..Do you?
