Idiot of the Week: Kansas Republican kicked teen in testicles - says it was God's plan.

Sometimes when people are way too immersed in their religion and they lose their grip on reality, they cite their god as an excuse to brutalize, harm or even kill others. Such was the case in May when a Republican state legislator was acting as a High School Substitute teacher and brutalized a 16 year old student. This guy committed assault and should be jailed and undergo psychiatric evaluation and never be allowed near children. He's dangerous. Here's the story from the Kansas City Star and Huff.post.>>

Kansas Republican accused of kicking teen in testicles says it was God's plan 

Huffington Post/Kansas City Star  May 26, 2021

State Rep. Mark Samsel allegedly assaulted a 16-year-old student while substitute teaching at a public school in his hometown last month. The deputy’s affidavit, released to reporters Tuesday, said the boy showed him a golf ball-sized “road rash” and a 3-to-4 inch scratch on his back that he said appeared after Republican state Rep. Mark Samsel, of Wellsville, pushed him up against a classroom wall on April 28.

The Kansas City Star reported: The Wellsville Republican faces three misdemeanor battery charges involving two approximately 16-year-old victims from an April 28 incident at the city’s high school. Numerous videos taken by students that day show Samsel ranting about God, the Bible, masturbation and suicide. One student told police Samsel kicked him in the crotch.

Videos show Samsel telling one student, “You’re about to anger me and get the wrath of God.” He then grabbed the student with both hands and shoved him against the wall.

Samsel, 36, was charged in May with three misdemeanor counts of battery following his “rude, insulting or angry” interactions with two students, ages 15 or 16, during an art class at Wellsville High School. He has pleaded not guilty. Each of the charges is punishable by up to six months in jail. When the deputy asked Samsel whether God told him to do so, Samsel answered, “Twice.”

The Wellsville school district has banned Samsel from its property and events for a year. A Franklin County magistrate ordered Samsel to undergo a mental health evaluation. His next court hearing is set for July 12. LINK: https://www.kansascity.com/news/article251138149.html

Shocking Idiot of the Week: A Murderous, Mentally Ill Supporter of D.T.

Parkland School murderer: Trump Supporter

The Miami Herald shared a frightening look at the mentally ill man who killed students at the Parkland Middle School in Florida in 2018. Not only was he obsessed with guns, but with politics and supported D.T. - but used his twisted views to mock his mother in her casket. It's disturbing. Here's the story:

Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz was obsessed with guns — and to the chagrin of his mother, also appeared to be a fan of President Donald Trump. So when his mother, “a liberal anti-gun type,” died in 2017, Cruz used his own “Trump hat” to get a twisted final word on their political differences, a friend told police.

“Due to the fact that his mother hated Donald Trump he put it in her casket with her when she died and took a picture of her with the hat,” the friend, Hunter McCutcheon, told a detective. It’s yet one more unsettling detail about Cruz, an emotionally disturbed teen who walked into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14 and opened fire, killing 17 people and wounding 17 more. 

He is facing the death penalty for Florida’s deadliest school shooting, an incident that sparked a wave of student activism and even led to the passage of a gun-control law in Florida.
