Young mother targeted on FB for her...tattoos!

Proving that there is no end to the stupidity and blind hatred in this country.
A young mother in Moline, IL has a bunch of Pokémon tats covering one of her arms and apparently someone doesn't think she's a very good mother because of it.
link www.wqad.com. On the front page, second or third story down.
As stated earlier, this just proves that there are some truly dumb people out there. I do not know this woman, but I can't really see where a bunch of tattoos would make her a bad mother.

That's what "news" outlets do instead of reporting actual news. Much cheaper to outsource their journalism to anonymous, unaccountable nobodies.

I mean, seriously? WTF? How is this story possibly considered even remotely newsworthy?

"I have an arm full of Pokemon tattoos! You don't like them? HOW DARE YOU SHAME ME!!!"

Jamie said she wants others to see her story and raise awareness on discrimination against people with tattoos.

If you want to exercise free will and make the conscious decision to get Pokemon tattoos up and down your arm, I reserve the right to not like them. And if you post them on your Facebook page, I reserve the right to pass judgment.

Good Lord. I'm in the Navy. I see horrible tattoos every day (and I see some really cool ones).

Oh my God, who fucking cares? Seriously, why is this a story to anyone but her?

If I had a dollar for every time someone passed judgement on me, I'd be fucking loaded. Come to think of it, I'd get judged for that too. Compound interest!
