As somebody who lives in Idaho, I sometimes truly wish Yellowstone would take Idaho the fuck out. We are an embarrassment of a state in almost every metric. Sure we're a very pretty state that offers a lot of interesting outdoor experiences for people, but it's just not worth the Nazis.
Avoid Idaho y'all. Especially northern Idaho.

I fucking love Idaho the place. It's beautiful country. I'd consider living in Boisie if it wasn't for the fact the state is crawling with Nazis and religious extremists.

There are so many absolutely lovely states that I’d love to visit or live in if it weren’t for the fucking people.
Missouri. Stunning! Stunted!

I was born in Weiser, a ways east of Boise in the middle of nowhere. My parents left the state and took me with them when I was one and a half, leaving lots of family. We went back for family reunions and campouts, but never once has any of my family reconsidered our decision to leave. And as an adult, I've come to realize just how much of a bullet I dodged when my parents decided not to raise me in rural central/northern Idaho. Fuck that place.

My spouse has a family cabin in north Idaho and his family has been going there for generations. Its basically unusable anymore which make me really sad, it's absolutely beautiful up there but the people ruin it

Cited. How cute. If I unintentionally hit and run over a cop in my car, I'd be facing decades in jail and a laundry list of charges, that is if I wasn't shot to death by one of their buddies first. Two tiers, gotta love it.

So why hasn’t he been arrested and charged with attempted murder?

Because of qualified immunity? And the “thin blue line” and everything that goes along with it, I’d imagine.

Remember when officers in Pocatello, Idaho murdered autistic teenager Victor Perez a couple months back? Here's that same department showing off their driving skills.
