INSUFFERABLE TURD OF THE DAY (11/25/24)

Y’all, meet Jasmine Handy — Madison County’s newest viral superstar and my official Insufferable Turd of the day.

This grown woman (who also drives a school bus, by the way) rolled up to the Madison Walmart, parked dead in a handicapped spot with no placard or plate, and when a little elderly white lady politely called her out and started filming, Jasmine came back out swinging: cussing the old woman up one side and down the other, threatening her, screaming “that skin tone and police crap don’t scare me,” the whole meltdown.

Then, because the internet never sleeps, Jasmine went home and doubled-down on Facebook:
“Yes, I always park in handicap. I’m aware of the fine and I’m prepared for it… I’ve noticed Caucasian people in Madison County feel they’re so entitled… anybody know where I can get a handicap pass? I’ll pay for it.”

Let me translate that for everybody who still pretends not to see it:
“I know the rules, I just don’t think they apply to me, and if you call me on it I’ll make your day hell.”

This is the exact “cancel-proof, no-consequence” culture Andrew and I spent three hours tearing apart on the show this morning. We have created an entire class of people who can act any kind of way in public, break laws on camera, brag about it, and nothing ever happens, because the check still hits the account on the first and nobody in their circle will ever hold them accountable.

I’m past “ghetto fatigue” at this point. I’m straight-up in “black fatigue” fatigue, because it ain’t all of them, but Lord have mercy it is ALWAYS them in these videos. And I’m tired of biting my tongue about it.

We need more sweet little white grandmas willing to film this nonsense and we need a hell of a lot more consequences for the Jasmine Handys of the world. Until that happens, the rest of us are just gonna keep watching our shared public spaces turn into the Wild West one entitled meltdown at a time.
