Marlin, Texas -- A Marlin police detective is under investigation and has been put on administrative leave after allegedly posting a rant on Facebook, Marlin Police Chief Darrell Allen said Monday.

A post on Marlin detective Rob Douglas’ Facebook page centered around how it frustrates him to go grocery shopping at the first of the month with people who receive public assistance or food stamps but who may have tattoos or expensive tire rims on their vehicles.

“I love being able to see how the useless lazy turd bags spend the hard earned money my working friends and I provided for them so they can sit of (sic) their lazy asses all month and drink the beer I am paying for. I especially love it in the summer so I can admire the thousands of dollars of ink they have adorning their unclean bodies as they smile at me with that mouth full of bling,” the post stated.

The rant ended with: “I promise, if I ever snap and go on a killing spree, it will be in a supermarket on the first.”

There's a caller to the Stephanie Miller Show nicknamed Road Flare Mary who says stuff exactly like that.

Notice the change from 2007 to 2009. Click on either map to enlarge and roll mouse between maps to compare in detail.

He must be happier now that SNAP has been cut out of the Farm Bill so big AG Corporations could have the money in subsidy. He will not see those billionaire AG boys because they are living it up somewhere eating a $100.00 steak dinner in a fancy place while children on SNAP eat non-protein cheese and mac.
