CARRIER MILLS, Ill. - You as regular readers know we've chronicled the idiocy that is Carl Hustedde's behavior in past issues.
You remember Hustedde; Harrisburg's detective Curt Hustedde's brother. You've seen him pull stunts like try to get taxpayer dollars to get a "Neighborhood Watch" going (when in actuality HE'S the one the neighborhood needs to watch out for); or his support for someone who should never ever hold public office (his girlfriend the vapid Katie Clayton); or his inability to comprehend what "handicapped" means.
Saline County's answer to Brian James O'Neill Deux has recently taken to social networking to air his ill-thought-out opinion on Harrisburg's latest business, the movie theater that's going to have gaming and alcohol.
*facepalm*
Now, don't get us wrong. We don't want to take the babygrands to a movie where boorish drunks (like Hustedde...? Perhaps) are gambling their hard-eared state funds away. But see, that's the difference between us and people like Hustedde. We opt not to go to a theater where that's a distinct possibility; we keep our movie-going alcohol- and gambling-free; we just don't want to be exposed to it unnecessarily. Hustedde, on the other hand, wants to keep OTHER people from being exposed to it, like most Democrats do: If they don't like it, they impose their views on everyone else instead of just making that decision for themselves and moving on.
Of course, Harrisburg Mayor Dale Fowler isn't going to be persuaded to undo his latest handiwork on the theater, which everyone's just shrieking in joy over, just because Carl Hustedde doesn't like it. Also given that this is about as fake a "cause" as anyone could engage in, coming from Hustedde. We'll just have to see how it pans out. In the meantime, it appears Hustedde is either off his meds or on a tear....meaning we should be hearing more from him soon. Keep watching.
