A Meditation on #JusticeForSauce

I should clarify, this has nothing to do with sauce. Unfortunately, 57 Sauce is not finally overtaking Tomato Ketchup as Heinz's best selling condiment. Nor are we retiring nastyass “sandwich spread.”

No, #JusticeforSauce is one part of the ongoing saga of Gregory Salcido, a former Pico Rivera mayor, current city councilman, and El Rancho High student. Shit. Teacher. Salcido was put on administrative leave from both the council and school after a profanity-laden, anti-military speech, calling service members “dipshits” and “the lowest of the low.” Not only did he attack the service members, he attacked their family members, saying their parents didn't love them enough. I think that may be the case with Salcido. And to use such language? Fucking vile.

Let's be honest, he can probably add a few more “former”s to his list by the end of the week. Salcido, known as “Sauce” to students, is also a racist bully, who has been previously put on leave multiple times.

You can listen to his full rant here or just head to any coffee shop in Portland.

Oh and before anyone comes at me with the First Amendment: I am a very vocal supporter of the First Amendment. Free speech should only be impinged consensually, which I guarantee you Sauce allowed. If both the city council and high school don't have clauses in their employment contracts that would enable firings due to offensive or violent speech, I'll eat a TidePod.

Furthermore, I believe his 0.0 GPA remark was a direct attack on former US senator and president, John "Bluto" Blutarsky. A great offense. Possibly treason.

I mean what the fuck is wrong with this guy?

Listen, I'm not pro-military. It needs to be reduced, drastically. It's 2018, what does Congress think is going to happen, Red Dawn? There will be no more invasions: just memes and bomb drops. Remember what famous scienceman Alberto Einstein said: “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.”

Many of his supporters believe he was trying to teach his students to question the military and information about it, instead of blindly accepting everything. Then, he got passionate and overstepped the mark. Entirely possible, but even that line of thinking proves how honestly fucked Sauce is. He should be teaching his students to question everything: religion, their parents, the government, their friends, the military, the news, himself, everything.

However, Sauce cannot tell his students to question everything because he's part of the problem. He's a city council member, a part of the same government that drops bombs on innocent civilians. The money rolls uphill in the government my friends, despite still being shit. Right, and he's as corrupt as he claims the military is: in 2012, Sauce was fined for taking a $2,000 cash “gift” from a local nightclub that had been raided due to suspected money laundering. The maximum allowed cash donation in California is $100. Oh, and he never followed up on local complaints about said nightclub.

Worse still, all evidence suggests that Professor Sandwich Spread is a racist bully. In 2010, Sauce students claimed he threatened to kill a student and made insulting comments about race, students, and their parents. In 2012, he is said to have bullied a student for being overweight and smacked him in the back of the head while sleeping. His defense? “He didn't say ouch.” Even within his military rant, he says they could not beat Vietnam, despite the Vietnamese being “this freaking big” and “throwing rice at us.” He also seems to pick on the kid wearing the "Marines" sweater, warning him never to wear it again. Can you imagine being a high school student and being picked on for something you wear by a teacher? His recording of Sauce lead to more bullying of the student, some borderline threats.

I'm sorry. I tried to find a way to make those stories funny, but I just can't. They're awful. He's awful. It doesn't matter that he's flat wrong: the 92% of enlisted personnel have completed high school or some college, compared to 60% of all U.S. adults the same age. Gregory Salcido is a corrupt, lying, racist bully that should be fired, regardless of your stance on the military. That is #JusticeforSauce, one a long time coming.
