Well, this oughta clear up any widely-held misconceptions that all metalheads are knuckle-dragging cretins.

You’ve all heard of Wendy Davis, right? She’s the Texas State Senator who staged an eleven-hour-filibuster (!!!!!) this past June in order to stop an incredibly strict abortion bill from passing in her state. She is now a gubernatorial candidate in that same state; her opponent is conservative Greg Abbott, Texas’ current Attorney General. So, needless to say, both candidates have supporters who are, um, impassioned.

Including this guy who calls himself Johnny Bones, and who recently posted the following on Abbott’s Facebook page:

It took the page’s administrators an hour to get the comment down, which means they either don’t pay very close attention (entirely possible), or otherwise did not immediately realize that this is not the kind of support they need. In any case, Bones’ comments were, it should go without saying, totally fucked up, and the guy ought to be investigated. Even if you don’t share Davis’ beliefs, this ought to deeply offend you. To say that this is not how one behaves in a society that is supposed to be built upon civilized political discourse might be the understatement of the millennium.

And — terrific news!!! — Mr. Bones not only makes conservatives look bad, but he makes metal fans look bad! Ladies and gentlemen, meet Johnny Bones:

Yup — he’s a metal fan! One who especially loves Amon Amarth, it would appear.

So, basically, people are going to see this and think, “Well, that makes sense, everyone who listens to heavy metal music is mentally deficient.” Which, I assure you, is something a lot of people actually think.

This asshole makes us ALL look like assholes. I mean, even if you don’t agree with Davis’ views AND you don’t agree with me that it is totally disgusting to seriously threaten another person’s life (let alone publicly threaten a public servant’s life because you disagree with her stance that she should have some say in the fate of her own body), there’s simply no way you can look at this guy and think, “Yeah, he seems like a rad dude.” Look at those photos!!! They’re proudly posted on his Facebook page! Sun lamps are cooler than Johnny Bones.

Here are some more photographic displays of intelligence and class taken his Facebook page:
