I’m always up for a good G-Unit story – I was in high school back when 50 Cent and the bunch started making waves, so it’s always a nice reminder of my adolescence to see them pop up in the news!
Courtesy of Fox 13 Salt Lake City – “CHARLESTON, WV – It’s called the “G-Unit,” and in this case, the “G” stands for grandma.
Eleven grandmothers were sworn in to the “Grandma Unit,” as their shirts say, this week in West Virginia.
Now, they aren’t going to be on the streets arresting people or making traffic stops but they are ready to hit the ground running with one mission.
They are going to be busy spreading love and hugs, something these grandmas say you can never have too much.
“Sometimes I’m not feeling good or I’m feeling low and somebody will give me a hug and I’ll feel better and then I’ll share my hug with someone else,” G-Unit’s Karen Smith said.
The members of the Grandma Unit understand how important spreading love is because, at one point during their, lives all 11 women were victims of elder abuse or domestic violence.
So if you get flagged by the G-Unit, put down your phone, stop what you’re doing and get ready for a hug.”
I’ll be damned. This ain’t about THE G-Unit at all. It’s about the Grandma Unit! Sorry to be distracting, but my two biggest immediate thoughts on this were:
1) Why is Fox Salt Lake City reporting on grandmas in West Virginia?
2) These women were victims of elder abuse or domestic violence? Sorry – but if you commit elder abuse, you deserve to be eradicated from the face of the Earth. Just a personal belief of mine – we should fold you up and throw your sorry ass in a trash compactor. Sorry for the violent imagery, I know it is the holidays, but I just have to be honest. Also, sorry – but if you commit domestic violence, you also deserve to be eradicated from the face of the Earth. Just throw your sorry ass in prison and make sure you take repeated bitch slaps to the face with massive jail cocks. I’ve heard that depending on the girth, that could feel like getting hit in the face with the ol’ soap in the sock trick. Man, I’m really sorry about that last one, guys. It’s the holidays – I shouldn’t use such foul language.
So, yeah – those are my biggest takeaways from this story, but I wouldn’t be the journalist I am if I didn’t break it down from all angles.
The police actually swore them in for this? I mean, I’m pretty sure the t-shirts that say “grandma unit” would’ve sufficed, but what else is there to do in West Virginia I guess?
I’m all for spreading good in the world, and there’s definitely nothing that can replace a good grandma hug. I could not be more on board with the G-Unit.
Also, sorry – if you came here for some G-Unit, I’m happy to oblige.
