ACTING OUTRAGED IS DIFFERENT THAN INSPIRED OUTRAGE

Acting outraged draws the worst sort of attention, if attention is what you’re after.

Men and women with mouths wide open in outrageous indignation come in two flavors:

Practiced, and out of control.

The people who practice their outrage take can turn it off at will; out of control outrage goes more out of control with no off switch.

There’s one way to tell who’s who.

Acting outraged is the golden ticket to get in some doors.

When a sweaty man with a fat head contorts his features on camera to match the sort of strained expressions found in constipation clinics, what comes next? Is it news, or the sort of outcome found in the clinic?

Outrage jackassery performance art lures viewers into a mind-set that sets them free. With the blessings of numb-nutted snake oil salesmen and tongue talking charlatans, their audience is free do act out.

When dip-stick people acting outraged inspire followers to do their bidding, to reclaim their freedoms and rights, one thing is missing: consequences.

After reading responses of Jan. 6 insurrectionists to jail time, they didn’t expect consequences.

Acting Outraged From A Safe Distance

More from NPR:

Jones has also been a supporter of former President Donald Trump and embraced the false conspiracy theory that the election was “stolen.” Jones marched in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, though he did not breach the U.S. Capitol building. According to The Wall Street Journal, Jones also helped coordinate a $300,000 donation to support the rally at the Ellipse, where Trump spoke before the riot. The Journal reported that he also gave nearly $100,000 of his own money to a pro-Trump event the night before, where he also spoke.

From pointing the way to the Capitol after his pay to play night before Jan. 6, there’s more than a little bully-boy in this one. And like a good bully he has others front for him.

Can his lock-step info warriors order health supplements from jail? They may want boost their manly man parts for extra stamina, endurance, and strength in the can.

I’ve heard prison air is a little stale. Better order some Lung Cleanse Plus Spray.

View From Jail

About the top pic:

Thomas Webster, who retired after two decades with the New York City Police Department, is unhappy with the “dormitory setting” where he’s held without bail on charges related to the Jan. 6 insurrection, Washington Post reporter Rachel Weiner reported, citing Webster’s defense lawyer.

“For a middle aged guy whose never been arrested before, this has been a shock for him,” the attorney reportedly explained. 

Are all of the other men who carry the same name as Thomas Webster upset about their new notoriety?

They should be. There are lots of Thomas Websters to crack down on one of their own.

No one says they like jail.

Or jail food.

Keep this in mind when celebrity blow-hards start acting outraged. From congress, to the White House, to television, when grown men squinch their faces up and bare their teeth to show their manly emotions, it’s performance art.

Guys who acted on the performance are feeling a little let down. No organic food in jail? Living in a dormitory setting with other jail inmates? No pardon?

From the looks of things, the FBI list for people at the Capitol doing outrages acts of violence is still going strong.

Hold an open bunk for new roommates, or cellmates. Neighbors?
