Don't ever be this guy

That’s ABC News chief national correspondent and World News Tonight anchor Tom Llamas up there, live from flood-devastated Houston, with what I’m pretty sure is the worst tweet in history. Holy fucking shit, man.

Imagine not only:

Having the sick impulse to call the cops, from the site of one of the worst flood disasters in American history, to report victims of that flood for looting a supermarket; but also:

Actually following through on that impulse by calling the fucking cops on desperate flood victims for looting a supermarket in the middle of one of the worst flood disasters in American history; but also, on top of that:

Having the impulse to go on fucking Twitter and report to your 21,000 followers that you called the cops on desperate flood victims for looting a supermarket; and then, holy fucking God...

Actually doing that.

1. He's still digging that hole.

He deleted that tweet and then "cleared up" his intentions.

2. The comments to the "clearing up"

are brutal.

[herding cats]

5. Justifiably so!

Man is an idiot I'd he thought that tweet would make it all better.

Hungry and thirsty people taking things from a grocery store with insurance during a national disaster, and he calls the police on them.

9. Lol! What a dick.

[herding cats]

11. Yep.

And he showed his colors for all to see.

3. I'm guessing Tom saw scary black people...

Katrina taught me only one thing (my mind is simple and I missed the other lessons): white people "find food", black people doing the same, are simply looting.

[herding cats]

6. Yep.

I'm betting that's what we have here, too.

4. Tom, why didn't you have your trusty shootin' arn?

Stop them owlhoots dead in their tracks, you would have. Pretty goddam bold of people victimized by a flood to think that none of the norms and rules of decent society apply anymore. Imagine! Taking goods that can't be sold and are going to be written off as a total loss by the supermarket anyway for your own personal consumption. Scandalous! Good think Tommy the Tattler was on hand to put a stop to this.

10. He reminds me of the kid in school on a late Friday afternoon that reminds the teacher she didn't

give the homework assignment yet.

13. Or the jagoff boyfriend who shoves his girlfriend under the covers

Then farts. Same kid.

7. I'd be curious to know if the guy is a Republican...

I can't wrap my head around the mindset that many republicans have that people who are "getting something" that they perceive is not deserved should be punished.

He could be a Republican, or maybe just a generic asshole.

14. If the first thing he said was ... "why aren't there armed guards out here shooting these people?"

there is a 100% probability he's a Republican with a margin of error of +/- 0%

8. I hope those people got some food.

12. Damn. I don't get people. But maybe I do. :(
