Today in "Don't Patronize Small Businesses Run By Bigots" we have Jeremy from Iowa Falls.

I'm sure there are much better painting services in north central #Iowa.
A Facebook post with a photo of a teenage boy in a plaid black and gray shirt holding a guitar: Urbandale teen Miles Phipps expressed himself through music, writing songs and posting them on Spotify. His family says he struggled with bullying after coming out as trans earlier this year. He died by suicide on Nov. 4. Students at Urbandale High School later walked out in his memory and to speak out against bullying: https://www.weareiowa.com/article/news/community/mother-of-urbandale-teen-who-died-suicide-calls-for-compassion-action/524-3eb5a343-db3b-460e-aec2-bba8ff9b6d80?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_We_Are_Iowa_Local_5_News Jeremy Fender replies on a public Facebook page to a man named Don who posted that no one should be bullied. "Don Hensley not accepting someone for the false reality they are trying to bring you into isnt bullying at all. This child needed better parents and a school system that didn't indoctrinated him. Suicide is very likely from having a mental disorder and not from bullying." 10 people have laugh reacted. When clicking on Jeremy's name, his profile says he has 759 friends and 1.1k posts. His tagline says, "Part time internet troll. It's my passion!" His profile indicates he's a Small Business owner who lives in Iowa Falls but was born in Clation. His work is at South Park Painting Service. He is listed as the owner for 9 years and 2 months. I probably have 1° of separation from this guy as I have family-in-laws from that same area. 😩
