  That's what I thought too, but he's actual Gordon Lawshe a racist NJ politician. Make sure to use his name Gordon Lawshe so hopefully that racist never gets elected again
context: I like this mom.  
  “This happened because of what happened to Bobbi, but it also happened because the whole community, the science community, got together and said, ‘She’s one of us and we’re not going to let her lose her steam,’” Joseph reportedly remarked. “I just appreciate it. It means the world.” >
  
  As someone who has done insect research professionally, even in officially marked vehicles you sometimes get people giving you odd looks and calling the cops.  I'd hate to see a little girl with an interest in the subject get discouraged because she ran into an asshole early on.  Just the fact that she has a passion for bugs so early means she has the potential to do well in the field, and we should be doing everything possible to make sure she doesn't lose that passion. >
  
  I used to check fields and count how many moths were stuck on a glue trap to see how bad the issue was in the field. Sometimes the farmer himself (who is the one who hired our company to do this) would come out to me in the field asking who I am and what I'm doing. Sir... My truck has the company logo what do you mean who am I?? >
  
  It would happen all the time on contracts for utility companies for me.  The utility company would tell us we were to to go and that they had already talked to any landowners who needed talking to and then we'd get a bunch of the landowners going "who the hell are you and why are you here?" >
  
  How many fucking companies say "yeah, we'll send someone out", and not deign to give a time or day or week or month?  It's too god damned high. I need plans! Details! Not silence for six weeks and then a random worker showing up out of the blue. 
  Also, I'm not even slightly mad at you, I'm mad at your employer for being donkeys. I'd wager we can probably even commiserate on this fact. >
  
  I'm picturing you chasing people with a pitchfork like a... maniacal wildebeest. >
  
  I like how you spelled it correctly, but I definitely am leaning into the wordplay on maniacal beast on purpose.  So yes, let your imagination run wild! >
  
  
  wordplay on maniacal beast on purpose
  
  Like Oscar Wilde? >
  
  The guy who called the cops on her is a local (town) politician well-known to the community as openly and unapologetically racist. >
  
  If he wasn’t before he sure is well known and openly racist now >
  
  You look at her photo and she’s CLEARLY just a little girl. And even if she wasn’t, what could she be doing with a spray bottle that would’ve warranted police being called? >
  
  This is an easy question to answer.  The caller was a racist Karen.
