Being here on business, we haven't had a lot of time to peruse the Repository, but this article caught our eye: Portage County Dispatcher Kills Daughter, Self , the tragic account of Melisa Hall, 29, a dispatcher for the Garrettsville-Freedom-Nelson Fire Department who killed her 2-year old daughter, Naysa, and then herself.
Now, any sane person feels only sadness about this case. Not so, with Octopuppet entity Big Al Carter, of course. "Big Al" (does the real Big Al Carter now is name is being taken in vain?) finds the murder of a toddler and suicide of her mother a great opportunity to attack Mary Parker (who she codes as MRDD due to Mary's involvement with it) and blame I Hate Canton for the deaths. We know! We know!
If Octo thinks this will garner support for it from anyone, even multiple awarded Village Idiots (real people, not the people who live inside its head), it's more gone than we thought.
We really hate to give official recognition to OP and its friends, but...for stupidity, vileness, and sheer, insensitivity (we hate that word, but in this case it fits) beyond the call of duty, we hereby grant Octopuppet personality Big Al Carter the May 28 Village Idiot of the Day Award.
And no, it has no shame!
Update: Comments on the article were disabled this morning. We don't know when, but I check around 11:45 and they were gone. We figured that would happen. How many comments has our resident disturbo shut down?
