Dallas weatherman resigns after criticizing Democrats for 'parading mothers of slain thugs' at convention

Chief meteorologist Bob Goosmann of Dallas' KRLD 1080 Radio resigned after posting an incendiary comment on Facebook on Wednesday.

The post said, "As many of you have probably noticed, I've stayed away from politics on FB. The DNC parading the mothers of slain thugs around on their stage has me furious."

The comment came after black women who have lost their children to gun violence or after contact with authorities took the stage at the Democratic National Convention.

Paul Mann, KRLD's news director, confirmed that Goosmann had resigned as the station's chief meteorologist, "effective immediately."

3. In other news...

...Bob Goosmann, standing in the morning Dallas heat of 140 degrees said that he still believes climate change is a hoax, but if it isn't... It's all Hillary and Obama's fault.

He is immediately hired as the chief meteorologist for Faux Snooze!

4. Stoopid.

Without even bothering to look, I'm going to go out on a limb and say this was a white guy and he thought he was clever and would get a free pass on racism by just saying, "Thug" as a more socially acceptable substitute for the n-word.

I hear that Texas unemployment checks are brutally miniscule.

5. FWIW

the maximum unemployment in Texas is $479/week. He could also be denied unemployment since he fired with cause.
