Welcome to Bizarro Amerika!

Following a Facebook rant claiming terrorists are taking over American convenience stores to finance overseas terrorism, a Louisiana television station owner launched into an on-air attack on a foreign-born convenience store clerk after a local veteran claimed the clerk insulted him.

According to the Houma Times, HTV owner Martin Folse attacked the clerk but never attempted to speak with him to get his side of the story.  Folse was also unaware that the clerk came to the U.S. from Nepal when he was 4-years-old.

Prior to the broadcast of his diatribe, Folse promoted the spot on his Facebook page, writing, “Watch HTV tonight at 6 p.m. I will honor our veterans and I will also warn you about some disrespect being shown to our vets from a man of middle eastern descent at one convenience store. Yes, I know. We are supposed to be unbiased in our reporting. Are they being unbiased when convenience store synthetic marijuana and bath salt sales are being shipped to terrorist oversees. If they want to live here, so be it. But when you disrespect our vets which include my dad, I will rip you another ass.”

Folse added, “It’s time people. Drive to American owned convenience stores and not stores which ship their sales to Yemen (facts verified) and other terrorists who are taking over our convenience stores. Chances are that the pack of cigarettes or the gas that you buy will be used to kill you and your family one day. If you think that I am sensationalizing than so be it. It’s time people. Now. Wake up. Now you know what “Count Me In” is all about.”

and ps - the whole "profits from bath salts sold at convenience stores are going to finance terrorists" - I doubt any of that is true, but if it was - it's OUR FAULT FOR BEING ADDICTED TO BATH SALTS.

not that I am. ewwww. I prefer scotch and wine.
