Threat Against M. C. Toon
On Dec 30, 2024 Dean Odle threatened M. C. Toon:[1]
Toon is one of these guys that— one of these globe tards that went to Antartica. Yeah, he's a globetard. Probably a government agent, more than likely. But he keeps attackin' me. I'm gonna tell you what, this is one guy I'd just like to take out behind the woodshed, let old Dean come out for a minute, alright? But he better be glad I love Jesus—right?—and have brought the flesh under control.
The phrase "take (someone) behind the woodshed" is a southern United States idiom for giving them a beating,[2][3] and Odle followed this with an anecdote about his ability to kick someone in the ribs. This context of hostility toward an adult stranger (instead of parental discipline toward a child in his care) makes this especially alarming, and blurs the boundary with how a similar idiom is used: "take (an animal) behind the barn (to shoot it)."
He is also badly distorting the Christian doctrine of repentance when he mentions "bringing the flesh under control."[4] He is expressing a sort of regret at being nice, a wishful fantasy about "letting old Dean come out for a minute." This evokes an image of his "old self" merely suppressed inside of him, able at any moment to resurface, rather than the Scriptural image of it being "taken off" like a garment[5][6] or being "crucified"[7] never to return again. In fact, these ideas are so antithetical that his fantasizing is itself evidence of the "old Dean" being not only alive and well, but still in control; and that his act of Christian repentance is superficial and false.
